Not quite the home planet of the Avas as I’d speculated a couple weeks ago, but close enough. Bishop’s “no context” intro was great too. Did Bishop just hire Kayla and Gary as alien mercenaries, or were they some of his earlier experiments?

I don’t recall if the bikes themselves were ever a strong focal point, but Rolling Girls features a handful of girls roaming the country on their motorcycles and getting into big bouts of nonsense.

The bigger question is where did Kayla get a pod to land in, given she was tossed out of the ship mid-fight with Sarah, and I think we even saw her go through the time tunnel wall without one.

Horny Pinocchio incoming.

Second reveal that Ava’s also actually an alien and that’s her home planet, Earth just acquired some in the future somehow. Either that, the big bad is trolling, or someone’s done some cleanup (Rip? Time Bureau?) to pretend like that whole affair never happened on Earth.

Continuing to love that Gary’s An Alien turn, and particularly how he keeps holding his arms up in their ‘natural’ state even when he’s got his disguise on.

Worry not, the child endangerment shall continue, a second season (following the sequel movie that hit the US this last year) was just announced for next year.

Photo mode and a whole new Yuffie chapter? Give Now!

The character exposition was on the blunt speechifying side, but that’s to be expected with the Arrowverse, and overall I think they did about as good a job as I could hope for in introducing Ryan while repurposing or closing off dangling plot threads (I actually really like Tommy’s plot immediately getting shut down…

Honestly, I don’t mind losing theming if it means never having to see all those trashy paid themes on the store ever again.

SIGH.

Regarding armor, basically yeah. They’re saying the transmog system will be able to see all the armor you’ve unlocked in Collections, so you don’t need to hold onto anything that caps at 1060 for fashion purposes (capped godrolls that you like are a different story, may want to hang on to them for activities where the…

I vaguely remember that being a thing? Certainly wasn’t a major detail for me at any rate. My biggest gripe in revisiting NMH so far is finding that, heh, size matters. The joy-cons just don’t compare to the Wiimote at pretending to be a sword hilt, and the button layout doesn’t help it feel natural either.

Yes! These are so much fun, and a great little reward for making it through another run (seriously, how many did they record?). My favorites are when the narrator finds himself struggling for a reason, like “BEETLE: Just then, erm, how about a very small yet very deadly beetle landed upon Hydra-slaying Zagreus, ending…

She looks to be all feet and no fists, but the Vanessaesthetic can’t be beat so I’m very excited about Giovanna coming to Strive. Depending on her flow, she may even stand a chance of disrupting Millia’s place as my Guilty main since X.

They’ve only called him Bobo until this week, but that’s a known nickname of Emmett’s and the time/place have been rightish, so people here have been inferring it from the start (and/or letting book knowledge slip?).

Welcome back Fargo.

João Ruas per their Comic-Con panel, with some strong James Jean vibes. Templesmith’s on the original series? Cool, further reason to check it out.

I don’t know if I’ve seen the first two since the 90s, but I grabbed the $35 bundle for all three and watched them this weekend and I got my money’s worth. Excellent Adventure’s many iconic scenes are still deservedly burned into my memory, Bogus Journey has a bunch of cool stuff I didn’t catch as a kid (in a Battle…

As a point of order, the “room below the basement” was the room Leti turned into a dark room/exorcised the bastard, accessed through the door in the floor of the regular basement, and a known quantity to the cops. The white guys ended up in some sub-sub-sub-sub level tunnel at the bottom(?) of the haunted elevator…
