SalsaBurner certainly isn’t innocent, but you’re the one that started the insult escalation.

Honestly, I’m a math guy, you want it to be a history lecture sure. It’s a freshman history lecture. Still doesn’t make sense to sit down in it, having already studied that history, and complain there’s nothing there.

I honestly thought I was being gentle, but what I honestly think? Fuck off with your nerd gatekeeping.…

“ONE PUNCH!”

Hmmm... judging from those scans, it kind of strikes me like it’s trying just a bit too hard to be all knowing and quippy and zany. Plus the artwork seems kind of flat and inert, if that makes sense.

I’m pretty sure this was cancelled because it was a horribly written mess with about as much story telling depth and attention span as an issue of, “Axe Cop” which was plotted by a child. This zany, Scott Pilgrim style humor is pretty run of the mill for a lot of Marvel books right now.

Yeah, well, if the Republican Party is so racist howcome Jesus himself came down to escort Ronald Reagan through Heaven’s VIP Gate?

Never underestimate the power of tribalism. If their only viable options are a grossly incompetent buffoon with an (R) next to his name or a well-qualified Democrat, well... we know how that ended last time and I have no reason to think anything’s truly changed.

In terms of the prose for a lot of the characters their race isn’t brought up but Rowling’s sketches and “concepts” seem to back up the idea that she imagined her as a White girl while creating her. Of course that doesn’t stop anyone seeing her as anyone they want as it wasn’t ever a major character point.

I try not to comment on Root articles, as it’s not my space to speak, but I’m making an exception as this article is levied directly at me.

Nothing about Like Father, Like Son? No anecdotes about what an insufferable twat Kirk Cameron was?

Confession: One of my many great failings in life - perhaps the greatest - is my utter inability to GM. It’s harder than it looks and I fear I have driven people away from the hobby by my incompetence in that area.

It probably didn’t show in the pop-up hole-in-the-wall arcades that had “DANKEY KANG” and “SPACE INVADORS”.

I remember when they rolled this into our local arcade. I played it roughly twice before I decided it was a rip off. I’ll save my 2 quarters for Road Blasters. 50 cents at Road Blasters game gets you approximately 8 hours of play time.

I got that far....and did it one better. I beat it at the height of the popularity.

Honestly? I just came by to find out more about that cocaine trolley :/

The one and fucking ONLY good thing about Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace is that the money from them kept Don Bluth’s animation studio alive and afloat after “The Secret of N.I.M.H” tanked at the theaters, which means that all of those wasted quarters eventually more or less bought us “An American Tail”.

I was super-excited when the corner grocery store got this game. Played two times at 50c a pop, lasted less than a minute on each - probably half a minute if I’m being honest. Never played it again.

I could have bought a bitchin Camaro with the money I dumped into Dragon’s Lair. That and Gauntlet.

I used to hang out an watch others play the game because I dug the animation and wanted to see how it ended but I was too cheap to lay down that kind of wealth. And I wasn’t the only one, when anyone got more than a couple of minutes into the game a crowd of cheap bastards like myself would immediately encircled the…

I’m glad O’Neal mentions how damn fragile that thing was. The biggest suspension of disbelief wasn’t that they had made it that far, but that they were playing it at all.
