Hes writing some of the TMNT Universe issues...But ofc,you cant jump into that without reading the previous stuff.

Cheers. I'll look into it, so fingers crossed we get another IDW Humble Bundle before long.

Tickled

An NZ documentary about the bizarre world of competetive endurance tickling.

It starts weird and gets dark real quick so if that's your thing you should enjoy this.

Also finished Peaky Blinders -  WOW!

Really looking forward to watching this. Read an article about the people who created the competition, and it sounds utterly fascinating.

For further reference, the The Dollop podcast had an early episode that explored the world of competitive tickling, and it is absolutely hilarious.

Not sure what you mean there...
For the most part its Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz.And it really freaking great.

I'd read somewhere that John Lees was writing for IDW's TMNT, so thought that maybe you were reading his stuff.

Love the early TMNT, so may just wait and grab all the Eastman stuff digitally.

Also,I was meaning to ask;anyone here reading IDW's TMNT?Cuz,you should be.

Is this the John Lees written stuff? Been toying with getting it when collected, as i'm a huge fan of Quilte, ATEWG.

If they've an Iain Laurie variant cover, I'm in!

Lovely stuff, Skullmo.

And that McCrea page is absolutely gorgeous, Dr Feeley Good.

Not seen John's work in a good while, but the latest Dredd stuff is just something else.

Post it at other thread a year ago...



Scary.

As Tordelback says, nothing like a good old War to distract from issues at home.

I see he has finally come out to condemn Syria, though I've a feeling he doesn't need Cobgress or UN approval to make Syria an even more desperate case, he'll have to bend Putin's ear.

Judging by Rex Tillerson's comments on North Korea, we are all in for squeaky bum time. Unpredictable is an understatement.

Good luck, and all the best from me, Goaty.

Quite like the look of the IT trailer.

Love the novel, am fond of the mini-series adaptation and looking forward to seeing what they do with the Losers Club in a big budget movie. The trailer shows that they've definitely seen the mini-series, and Pennywise is suitably unsettling, as is the house on Neidholt Street. I'm particularly looking forward to what they will do with the childrens individual fears, and how they'll update on the forms Pennywise assumed in the novel.

It will be interesting to see how they deal with the origin of Pennywise, and whether or not they build in referneces to The Dark Tower, and other King novels / movies.

I loved my old megadrive. My fave games were road rash, speedball 2, james pond and flashback! I miss the simplicity of cartridges- cant be arsed downloading, installing and updating everything!

Bah, they aren't mega drive games. Speedball 2, James pond and flashback are all commodore amiga games that were eventually ported onto consoles. Now THAT was a cool games machine. Cartridges be damned, floppy disc all the way.

Also, certainly for flashback, they played better on the amiga.

Loved my Amiga. So many fond memories of SWOS, Synducate, Cannon Fodder and nearly anything by the Bitmap Brothers.

How could i forget toe jam and earl on the list of megadrive greats? One of the few games i never managed to complete no matter how many times i played it for. I think a remake was recently announced saying it will be like the original!

An utterly bizarre, but brilliant game.

Haven't seen many games like that.
