1995-1999 is the embarrasing teenage years that we'd all rather forget...

« on: 07 June, 2019, 02:02:58 pm »For all history buffs and people out there watch Chernobyl. This is great 5 part mini-series on the what and how of the nuclear disaster. This was the bullet or the event that started the fall of Soviet Union.
Yes, it's amazing. There's also an accompanying podcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUeHPCYtWYQ , but also available from other podcast places)

Yes, they were great. The Pro-pinball series was very good as well.

Looks like the same artist as the Novels, which is Lisa Henke.

Prog / Re: Prog 2132 - Bringer of War
« on: 23 May, 2019, 10:22:07 am »Interesting. Is that a thing with comics these days? Are layouts increasingly becoming a series of horizontal layers? Is it eventually leading to 'responsive' layouts where panels are shuffled around according to screen ratios?
Not that I've noticed. Even digital-only comics still have vertical / non-square panels. Two pages before those Dredd Helmet panels there are some diagonal panels. And even that Dredd Helmet page has speech balloons that overlap previous panels. And don't get me started on the layout of Scarlet Traces and Kingmaker - at one point Crixus' cloak is used as a panel border...

No, it's the story of a Sci-fi Roman-esque Empire.

Film & TV / Re: Game of Thrones: the last series [SPOILERS]
« on: 08 May, 2019, 02:13:07 pm »I'm not suggesting it can't be read as ill considered, but for my money it was consistent with what's gone before.
True, but it was a bit meh. Early GoT was all about the shocks and feeling that no character was safe. If they'd wanted to carry that on, they should have had Tyrion shot by all those archers (which was what I was hoping would happen). It would have had the same effect in making Danaerys angry, but would've been a shocking moment taking out one of the main players like that.

Yeah, I've got a fairly dusty Krark/Salamander on top of a bookshelf...

They're almost impossible to clean eh? I've got a big lego millenium falcon, and it's incredibly fragile.....just impossible to clean (or move). I guess Lego was not a toy that was designed for display!
I use a soft paintbrush. Apparently Some make-up brushes are good as well.

« on: 26 April, 2019, 05:53:51 pm »
I enjoyed it, but had a few niggles.
Not sure why Stark had to die - esp. as they had 6 infinity gems that they could've used to resurrect him. Although I guess if they'd done that, they would have then had to bring back Vision (But he's coming back in a TV series I think - unless the TV show names were red herrings...). Still, they can still bring back Stark in the same way as they did in the comics, so he may not be dead...
Cap picking up Mjolnir was awesome - esp. as it had been set-up way back in Age of Ultron...
The time travel stuff didn't wrap up that neatly... Stark should've just wiped the bad guy's memories and sent them all back in time in order to preserve the timeline. I did wonder if they were going to do the whole "You can reset the timeline, but you will have to lose your daughter" thing, but glad they didn't. I liked what they did with Cap though.
Loved the fact that they dealt with Thanos in the first 10 minutes and then forwarded it on 5 years.
Liked CMs new 'do - more like how she is in the comics. I can see why they didn't bring her in until the end though as she is just way too powerful.
As to what next? Eternals is their next big one, so maybe Celestials? Although they've got the FF back, so Galactus is now a possibility as well... Kinda hoping they bring in the Fantastic Four in the same way as they introduced The Sentry in the comics, as that would be a great way of just dumping them into the MCU as a fully-fledged team.

I have a sub to both, but I prefer reading the paper prog first-time around. If it's not arrived by the time 2129 does though, I'll have to read it digitally.

The last I heard the shorts were packaged separately while CBS tried to leverage more cash from investors, and people were complaining on Twitter they didn't know who the Queen character was as recently as yesterday.
Yeah, Netflix did a pretty good job of hiding them away
