Saber Marionette. Here's another older saga: "On The Run From My Estranged Wife's Company, I Saved A Cat's Life By Sticking Its Brain In The Combat Robot I Stole"

CLANNAD is the first that comes to mind there, but the overall plot of the game and anime (which combine to form one large time-looping story) defy any easy description of the premise. Still, fans of the genre keep hoping that someone will drive a dump truck of money to the right people to make...

OVAs should certainly count, I'm less certain about visual novels. Although "I Joined A School Club For Cupcakes And Now I'm Stuck In Space (And Your Computer Is Hacked)" would make a great premise-title in either genre... if it had been a 1990s OVA people would still be talking about it, I'm...

Yeah, as much as we comics fans like to make the whole Bruce Wayne vs Lex Luthor comparison, there is a point to be made that perhaps policymakers could simply choose not to have eccentric billionaires with radioactive space rocks in their basement vaults as our defense against space demigods?

It's been a while since I watched the film with any commentary tracks, but if memory serves, when the film started production only 4 of the graphic novels were out? And the film basically became a "sneak preview" of sorts for book 7 (although is unique to the graphic novel, and Nega Scott was a...

I don't think that she ever really was one (or at most she was a deconstructed/partially reconstructed one), but more development for her and Knives (who kind of came off as the Heroine of A Mina Shum Film stuck in the B-plot of a different movie) are hardly bad things.

"I Tried to Order Takeout and Now the Norse Pantheon is Crashing at My Place!"

Apologies for the delay in play sessions. Between work and Halloween preparations, I had let updates lapse. At least once it is done it should all read smoothly, yes? So, I decided to take the advice of the famed Gial Ackbar: Alas, this only delays the inevitable.... After her little...

So Elno went from being "the Henry Ford of our time" to being the Henry goddamn Ford of our time....

In my skimming of various disaster-prep videos, I noticed that some content-makers seem less interested in ensuring preparedness for Bad Scenario X than in insisting that Bad Scenario X was Inevitable. Some seemed on the cusp of "accelerationist" as opposed to "prepper" regarding their...

For once, it's appropriate for this thread:

This "impure woolie" (matrilineally descended from Irish who settled in the Lachine Rapids region near Montreal) must point out that it was Japan who gave us "Hyper Goldfish!" from the speech chip that game with RiD '01 Optimus Prime....

...next year's Botcon exclusive? 😉

There's a reason for that....

Oh, wow. I noodled out a possible outline for EpVII a long time ago now, back when such things were pipe dreams rather than settled history. And while one aspect actually carried over to post-2014 Canon -- the search for a missing Luke Skywalker (though he left known space for entirely different...

RTD just keeps serving up the classics, doesn't he? Canonizing Beep the Meep, bringing back the Celestial Toymaker, and now this....

Cortosis was a bit more "balanced" (to use a gaming term), as it disrupted (rather than outright blocked) lightsaber blades but pretty much fell apart under sustained blaster fire -- making it of comparatively little use in the post-Clone-Wars era. Beskar was quite rare in modern times, although...

You likely won't. Which is, all things considered, a very human state to be in. My sympathy for your rage and pain probably means little to you, but you have it nonetheless.

Summer 1998, that's my hypothesis and I'm sticking to it. Granted, I have only anectodal evidence, but... over the past couple of years, I have been getting intrusive glimpses of the other track, even if I have no idea who should have chosen differently, how we could have chosen differently, or...

So, while I'm working on nailing down my documented existence, cardiovascular health, and breathing quality (thank goodness I never took up smoking), my thoughts turn to the next physical level of survival -- water. Here I'm in pretty good shape, as far as the locale goes -- two major...
