Except in this game, there IS such a thing as a free lunchbox. And plenty of them.

Sorry, but you REALLY don’t get “pay-to-win”. I’ve only been playing for three days and already I’ve scored five free lunchboxes with even more on the horizon.

Boy, I sure love playing Fallout Shelter on my iPad and iPhone. SO much fun. Wouldn’t you like to be playing it right now?

At least our hockey team sticks around since 1926. Where’s yours from? Oh right, your first one abandoned Minnesota entirely and moved down to a state that is about as far removed from hockey within American borders.

Quite a few of these could easily be explained away as inbetween frames—the games that sit between key frames to get the animator from A to Z. This kind of “squash and stretch” when characters are in motion end up having bizarre physical shapes. The more complicated the character (accessories, armor, Gundam), the more…

No no no! I was so careful about the mindcrumblies!

Meh, I could care less about colors. If it looks like the American one I knew growing up, good enough for me.

By that idea, R.O.B.’s going to be impossible to find.

Actually, it’s an incredibly common practice to split between production houses around the world: I had the head of Disney Television Animation confirm to me when I asked back in ‘95 that the first seasons of their Disney Aternoon lineup were often animated by them the first season, and then sent to Korean and other…

A fairly large portion of Animaniacs were made by Startoons, a then American-based studio out of Homewood IL (they later opened a branch in India and eventually moved all operations there, but until then you could always tell just from watching which was a Startoons versus a cheapie studio).

“What’s a ‘nubian’?”

Pictures or it didn’t happen.

Miiiiiiiiiight have something to do with the fact that the X-Men and FF are currently licensed to other studios. I know, crazy, right? The nerve of Disney to write a story with characters they don’t have the film rights to!

On the contrary: last year saw The Winter Soldier hit theaters just a few weeks before Free Comic Book Day—this year Age of Ultron landed the day before it. Lines were MASSIVE, chock full of families with kids. A big superhero film around the time of FCD is a huge motivator, and really brings in new crowds. You can’t…

Oh man, Groot #1 is incredible. So much fun, and has a great professional animation look about it.

March? Get back to me when you make it to May with snow, like we do in Illinois.

Off-topic, when did Gawker Co. start posting off-site links from non-Gawker pages? I appreciated links to other sites like Deadspin and Io9; but now we’re subjected to the same clickbait crap every other website clutters their page with?

I actually subscribe to the theory that they misinterpreted some rumbling or high winds as an avalanche they thought was coming and bolted from the tent—once you take that possibility into account, everything else seems to align: the fall from the cliff, the tree climbing, the running out in their long johns. Nothing…

I’m assuming this was snow? You failed to mention exactly when in 1985 this took place. Otherwise, it made for an otherwise great short creepy story with an unknown source of white which I perceived to occur on a warm summer’s day (given the thunder).

Possibly in 4, likely with Big Mama explaining the hell out of everything. But it certainly wasn’t in 2—that was near the end of the entire story and everyone was blown away that she could do what she did—most of all Ocelot.
