Honestly? That portable light-table is worth the $42. If it works at all it's cheaper than some of the more high-end light tables that cost double that and aren't portable. As for the actual kit? The pen lessons would be nice, but the rest of it is terrible at best. Manga illustration instruction really only works if…

That story sir. Hit me right in the feels...immensely. Congrats, and Porco Rosso happens to be my favorite Ghibli film actually lol.

I think the disconnect is between literal "exact" machine, and an "exactly the same performance" machine. That's where the comments are coming for. If benchmarks are what you're going for, then yes, you can build one for less and get the exact same performance without shelling out the pricetag.

You know I was thinking about that. The Second Encounter as well since he'll get some of the references. That game was awesomely stupid and I loved every minute of it lol.

Boy isn't that the truth. I played this at a friend's house who is really only a Call of Duty player. I started exploring for upgrades and new paths around the levels, and he just sat there completely stunned. Like, "How'd you know that was there," type stunned. He also didn't have a concept of, "These guys aren't…

You might be waiting a while unfortunately. The PS4 is selling so well I don't see a price drop until maybe next year at the holidays (I used to work VG retail btw). The only reason the XBOX cut it's price is because it shaved off the Kinect and gutted its system because it was pulling barely half of what the PS4 was…

I feel ya man. You could always build one and hook it up to your TV. That's what I did lol. You can get wireless keyboards and mice to use. Or use a PC/Console controller. Just an idea lol. I went the PC route simply because at the moment I don't need another console.

PC. Only way to go if you can. It's fantastic, and the keyboard mapping makes you feel like you're actually entering codes and using interfaces.

That's how I watch it as well. It's like Freddy vs. Jason only with Preds and Xenomorphs and I can laugh the whole way through. Least I finally got to see the Predalien on screen that the comics promised me. I wasn't let down by that.

It's an interesting theory. I'll give you that haha. However, replacing one movie with another makes the original that much worse. Gremlins was a horror/comedy masterpiece, but Ressurection is still trying to play the straight horror. Which is terrible, even thinking about it that way, how do you explain the water…

A giant wood planet as well. The wood planet was actually a monastery for a group of refugees that had cast aside modern ways. The planet ended up being changed to a prison and the prisoners were given the monastic qualities of the original wood planet. It was a weird mix.

The only thing that was redeeming in Ressurection was the scene where Ripley sees her clones. Sigourney Weaver refused to see the models and set during production as she wanted her reaction to be genuine. When she walks in during that scene it is literally the first time she's seeing those creatures. That reaction…

Actually yes. Good thing they did this for the modelers and subsequent artists. This is done for any character design, male or female. Underwear, muscle groups, anything that is covered up by clothes are drawn in various states of removal. Sometimes even limbs are drawn removed to show how the character functions.

Acetate is the actual translucent cellulose medium that cels are painted on. It is the exact same medium that is used in overhead projectors. Cel Shading is not called Acetate. Cel Shading is a 3D process where a cartoon or 2D coloring texture is applied to a 3D model.

lol Fair enough with Scooby Doo. Cause yes, clues and whatnot with critical thinking I can see that. I guess I always realized it was the one guy that you didn't expect. After a couple episodes you figured out the pattern. One the pattern was gone you started noticing things like why Fred and Daphne were always going…

Agenda based principles. It's why I struggle with things honestly. I have an over-active sense of equality. When I think in terms of that, everyone should be equal. Not one getting pushed to the forefront based on simple agenda-priority.

It is. I think folks see only column A and column B. Trying to imagine both is a struggle for some. Sad really.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up! I would agree with you then.

Too many clicks, too many clicks on the dance floor...I get what you mean though. I share articles while I'm at work sometimes and we have social media blocked. Therefore I have to use the copy/paste method to email it to myself. Which I actually prefer cause then I can forward the original email to everyone I was…

Oh, okay, then slight clarification, you mean people in the show, or the internet? Because Gordon found out about her past relationship last episode. So just simply refer to it as a "previous relationship" then.
