Is that true? I’d love to read about that. I did read that Gaiman liked the technology better as time went on and thought that resulted in better stuff, but he’s also never been one to criticize a collaborator either. He is very much a forward looking, not brooding type with a positive attitude.

Man they really ruined those pages by replacing dramatic moody colors with generic computer gradients. I guess the mainstream likes that kind of stuff, but it hides the original intentions of the art. They did the same thing when DC had artists draw over Kirby’s Superman faces to make them more generic and they did it…

Sounds like it could work so long as it doesn’t overlap with the vapeboy.

Dynamite was another great tactile board game from that era. I’m on the fence about the Fireball Island kickstarter, but will totally buy the final product if it turns out well!

If you’re a manager that has confidence in your employees, you can develop systems like this to help them out. When I was a manager at a bookstore, there would be problem customers (as in all business I’m sure). Some customers treated some employees shittily, and then would ask to speak to a manager and reset their…

colorblind people can tell the difference between yellow, orange and red. They increase in darkness. Imagine watching a black and white movie, you could still tell the difference between three swatches of color that are yellow, orange, red. However, if it was green and red we would have a problem. That is a hue…

Sarah Silverman is on the left. Your attempt at generalizing fails when you prove yourself wrong...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, based on the comments of the characters in TFA and the fact that he’s been unreachable, he failed to stop another sith uprising, he obviously failed at helping his sister’s son (or was too cowardly to try; either way not the Luke I know), etc. I thought that movie was far more damaging to…

for what it’s worth, I thought Luke was ruined by the implications of TFA and TLJ did some solid work to redeem Luke

Since you say you like Luke a lot (and I do too, and I’m almost your age), I was wondering why you think TLJ knocks Luke off of his pedestal. I thought TFA basically ruined Luke by showing he was a failure at raising Jedi and that his efforts in the original trilogy may have saved his immediate friends but did nothing…

That said, they actually released a 3D version of the Bluray in the USA which is awesome. Ususally have to order region free copies from India or something for a lot of these movies.

there’s no point in trying to force your kids to watch star wars a certain way. they will see a million ads with star wars characters before they reach the mirror stage. todays kids are never going to be considered social rejects for liking those movies. star wars is a profit machine that has answers to all the…

Don’t even worry. I made it to college before I learned about the fried chicken thing. I had to have some friends explain it to me after learning about it on Family Guy.

though mike and ralph are pals in out of the shadows when leo is secretly confiding in don. actually one of the best turtle movies if you can get past their noses haha rocksteady and bebop are so good

irwindale puts on a pretty good renfaire. also they make sriracha there. olympia is fine. this guy seems dumb

i like hoppy beers, but i like when they finish relatively clean and crisp like hop stupid. not when they are extra heavy and just overloaded to be super hoppy; so this may be cool.

maybe if they added it to a sorghum beer?

eating is one of the more sanitary things i’d prefer people do while reading

I had a bad experience reading an article on io9 once. I should write an article about how that experience represents a vast swath of articles that I am not familiar with. Also, I should show my ignorance about articles while doing so! I mean the author asked “Is there something you’re looking for?” but that wasn’t…

“the response I got from the store clerk—“DC’s there; Marvel’s over there. Is there something you’re looking for?”—wasn’t exactly helpful because, again, all of this was new to me and what I really needed at the time was guidance.”

the guy asked him if he was looking for anything and he thought that that wasnt helpful.…
