A bit that my former roommate liked to say, especially when discussing 22nd-century Vulcan culture and what realpolitik did to it, was "The conclusions reached by logical process are only as good as your initial premise."

For post #100 (yay!), The Club ponders that deepest of questions:

As I'm now often working on the day, things tend to be low-key but spread out over several days as a result. This has usually gone quite well, and avoids the whole picking-through-what's-left-after-one's-shift-before-stores-close issue. It's true what they say, the meaning of certain holidays...

I'm likely dating myself here, but I recall in the early 1990s news articles describing retailers in Japan attempting to make "Pink Day" in September as a reason for buying the last of those. Checking on Google recently, it doesn't seem to have caught on. Perhaps it's enough that Valentine's...

Alas, this is but a parody.... But it would have been "something different".

It's White Day in Japan. So, as the game is supposed to be set there, Drechenaux made four scenes where we give chocolates to the club members (as Valentine's is split into two gift-givings a month apart in that country.) I wish that everyone had gotten a CG, but at least someone remembered and...

I don't really have much to say about this, except... buckle up. There won't be a wall standing when this is done....

Now that's a quote I never thought I'd hear, not even for the wanting-Prowl-senpai-to-notice-him IDW(2005)-G1 version of the character....

Here's a Spy x Family cosplay music video.

A very good choice, especially for sharing. Maple-iced ring doughnuts would be my particular weakness.

There's only one location in my area, but they've been mailing out coupons with abandon. There's also a Five Guys in the same complex, curiously enough....

I must admit that in my younger days in anime fandom, I rather enjoyed asking "I-Can't-Believe-You're-Watching-the-Dub!" purists where Macross Plus (which I rather enjoyed, by the way) fit in Robotech continuity. And yet, in those same pre-Kiss Players days, I also thought that the shouted...

The inner workings of Wikipedia (repository of all human knowledge, but curated by the interested from all walks) are probably viewed as a big mess of "inside baseball trivia" from a outside view. And seeing as the 4th and 5th estates (Canadians will see what I did there) have fallen far from...

No, no, Carl Macek would be Dr. Frankenstein in your analogy. Although there's no formal name for the doctor's creation, White Wolf did float the term "Promethean" after the subtitle of the original novel....

...why not? :) Less glibly, I think it came down to the voice acting -- the Viz-produced English-language version just sounds... off. You know the old saying about actors "phoning in their lines" to describe a lackluster performance? Imagine that being literal as well as metaphorical, and...

Well, I still prefer DiC's version of Sailor Moon to Viz's, for the most part. Although some of the name changes were minor annoyances.... (I didn't have an issue with gender-flipped Zoisite, the revised character model resembled then-contemporary Star Wars EU character Natasi Daala. But did...

Parasyte: the Maxim was good when they had it, but it's been rotated out. I have been watching Old Enough!/My First Errand. It's not a reality show concept that would work in North America....

Given that the Star Trek universe has survived an event that should not be possible even by its own fast-and-loose interpretation of Berman-era Jet Propulsion Lab notes (to wit, a supernova's blast effects both travelling at multiwarp speeds and gaining energy as it expands), I don't think so...

When I hear "game face", I tend to think of Julie Benz.... Although the show that gave us that slang was... well, far enough back to have a rebooted comic. I wonder if SMG is still rocking the pager. (This time cake eats YOU!!) 😨

Me: "It's still more wholesome than Kiss Players!" TMM: "That... isn't a high bar." Me: "Yes, that's true...."
