[WHOOOOOORRRRRRE!]

WHOOOOOORRRRRRE!

Congrats, Richmond!  Some Evangelion/Iron Giant influences in the robot design, which is no bad thing.

They can afford me - I'm not getting paid at my current job.  Only been there less than a year, though.

Send it, Button - they love us in the 2000ad offices.
It'll really make someone's day.

First person to enter a Michael Jackson/Thriller/Judge Death/Judgement Day mash-up wins though!

If only it were that easy!

This started out as one of the moves from the Thriller video, but looking at it now, my only hope is that Ralph Macchio carks it before the deadline* and I can pretend it's a homage to Karate Kid:



* I don't really hope this happens and wish Ralph and his family a long and happy life - though he can probably do better than Ugly Betty cameos.  Just saying.

Meko's Impressions of An American Werewolf in London...?

Probably no help at all, but when I bought a second-hand laptop recently, rather than choked with animal porn (which would have secretly delighted me), the backup hard-drive was full of... well, I guess you'd call it music, of which 'Meco's American Werewolf in London' was one folder.  It's 8 tracks (listed below), and the details on the files list the origin as being "Encoded by iTunes v6.0.5.20", so I assume it is - or was - available for download via iTunes.  There's the odd bit of werewolf howling mixed into the intros for songs, there don't seem to be any artist credits beyond 'Meco' attached to the files, and it sounds very 1980s.

Bloody hell is all I can say about that.

I don't suppose they'll stop hounding him now, but at least he won't be around to see it.

It won't be as good as the live-action Dragonball movie.

You are even more cunning than a badger that has posed for years as professor of cunning at Fox University, even taking a fox wife to complete the illusion, living a lie for years that ultimately kills him little by little inside.
Well played.  I hope to see such cunning employed in the upcoming board mayoral election.

Whuh?
I never mentioned anything about them being black, merely that they're street-trash types.  But now that you - and not I at any point - have brought it up...

I don't know what I liked more: the admirable attempts to counter the jive-talking, breakdancing autobot of the first movie with a pair of golden-toothed smack-talking illiterate robots in this one, or the lengthy scenes featuring Shia LeBooooof in college that contribute not a single thing to the plot, not even when the BSG-style sexbot turns up to be all sexbotty or whatever it is they call it now when sexbots turn up being an analogy for the war in Iraq by trying to shag nerds.  On reflection, I think possibly my favorite thing is that the movie is the result of Michael Bay coming up with the story himself on account of all the writers being on strike at the time.  Top bloke.

If you've played Web of Shadows, you've got the rough idea - Prototype is by the same production team, uses the same game engine, and is set in the same part of New York as the Spidey game, but with more gorey stuff chucked in to alleviate the repetitive gameplay.  It's also not a million miles away from Infamous.

I thought exactly the same thing watching that as I did watching the Transformers 2 trailer:
"That's just noise"

Good job!  I know it's a sci-fi podcast, but you didn't have to put on silly spaceman accents for the duration - well done on your commitment to The Method, all the same.

All the downloadable 360 'exclusive' content will be incorporated with the Game of the Year edition for PS3 - though some of the DLC is already available if you want to have it piecemeal.  Personally, I've gone cold turkey to wait for the re-release - though I hear you can use existing saves with the newer copies of the game if you fancy just wandering about the game in the meantime, leveling-up so you'll have boss stats.

That Spider-Man issue with Barack Obama in it sold over half a million copies in less than a month, though most of those were to Peterwolf.  The Gears of War comic sold even more than that.
