Yes, but Io9 did not. :)

What makes you think something named 'Spawn' would be vulnerable to fire?

No, I see their point of view. That's why I haven't been stalking these people at conventions. My point was that advice on how to pitch is useless if there's never any opportunity.

One big part of this question that's missing is how to get an opportunity to pitch to someone useful in the first place.

He's in all X-Men comics. And all Avenger comics. And a lot of Spider-Man and Hulk comics as well. The most overused character ever might as well be overused in film also.

Ah, the project that just won't die. :)

Without the nine AD&D alignments, alignment charts would not exist. And that would be a tragedy.

Well, if they wouldn't go around throwing their wives at evil, the marriage might last longer.

A lamp that always shines its light directly into your face. Brilliant, scientists!

Where can a normal person (aka, not a Disney employee) get software like this? I would love to use my skill with 3D tools to create such beautiful 2D artwork.

Of course it's a monument that is built just for the hell of it. They named it Mastaba. The people who are building it are therefore, Mastaba-tors. They know exactly how pointless this art project is.

My number one use for iTunes is to organize songs into playlists. This setup doesn't seem to allow dragging songs into playlists any more. How do you put a song in a playlist?

Considering they're imaging ATOMS, and atoms are intrinsically blurry, I'd say it's pretty fantastic. Better than Heisenberg would have ever expected, I'm sure.

I love that Grotzinger got carried away, buy why was he allowed to create such a furor in the press? Why is he allowed to speak to the press at all?

Yeah, all the half-human primates up there are Wendigos.

My girlfriend has had a bad refurb. She bought an iPhone 4 for her teenage son, and it failed on the first day. Still has intermittent problems, but Apple won't replace or repair it.

The best thing you can do to support webcomic authors is to read their comic, and occasionally post about it. Getting the word out about an under-appreciated comic is worth a hundred mug sales.

Are they teaching kids that rhinoceroses are the offspring of a unicorn and a dragon? No? Then it's not the worst example that I've seen.

ROM was my hero as a child. I completely identified with the angst-filled hero in a body that didn't feel like his own. When I grew up, I switched my superhero affections to the Hulk, but ROM was my first superhero love. (Well, that is if you don't count Evil Knievel as a superhero.)

Start not — nor deem my spirit fled:
