It’s funny but also at the same time a pretty damning indictment of Indiegogo. At least the Microdrone 4, currently embroiled in a non delivery investigation on Indiegogo (prototype ready for mass production on campaign launch, delivery promised June 2019!) was something you could understand when it was allowed to…

Always assumed it was pretty much down to her being overpowered to the point she could have coped without the rest of the X-Men week in week out. 

Martin used to spend so much time at conventions, on judging panels, etc, it was a miracle he ever got time to watch all the football he did, let alone sit down and actually write any of his book.

While not among the most hardcore of fans, I did start reading the series back in ‘96, so have had an interest for about as long as anybody has but other than seeing how the myriad of differences are dealt with in the books, even I’ve lost interest.

I went from a Sony Clie (that monochrome 320x320 screen was sooo high res!) to a Handspring Treo, what I probably think of as the first smartphone I had. The build quality of the Sony was great, the Handspring not so much but the world was definitely a better place with Palm OS.

Really need to explore the parallels between this (1985) and Ender’s Game (1985 too!). The similarities in terms of adolescent suffering are very similar! 

Hand on heart, if someone came out and told me this was the best straight laced spoof of all time, I’d probably believe them. It’s terrible in every conceivable way, from costumes, emotional engagement, stereotypes, lack of originality, everything. Dialogue is so fast (along with the editing) that it feels more like…

Issue presumably comes about from using the archaic (old British) definition of a billion, which was a million million, not a thousand million.

Saying the Spitfire was superior to the Messerschmitt Bf109e is a little disingenuous; it’s not until the Mk XIV was developed in ‘44 that the RAF had a Spitfire that comprehensively outperformed the 109 in all areas- speed, climb rate, etc.
