Yeah I pointed to that map already but it seems... wrong some how. MC2 is in Mexico missing California by miles.

And I got the impression that as the Volgon war was () part of Dredd continuity and one of the major conflicts leading up to the 2070 war the East Meg 1 would be the conurb of St Peter, Moscow, Volgograd & Kazan. The Hodhe pog map of future distopias while being questionable regarding canon would mean that i am not the only one who thought that. East Meg 2 show on the Dredd world map on the other hand does make sense.

Yeah and with a possible reprint just around the corner if you are thinking of selling now would be the time to do it?

Speaking of which any one got any news?

General / (Another) One for the Hive Mind

I am looking for information and map reference on the Mega Citys of Dredds world. I have a stack of progs but can't remember where to look also former useful links and pictures on the site are no longer Here or Here
So I was wondering apart from Block Mania & The Apocalypse War and that world map on Barney and a random site in Catalan, Spain can anyone remember any sites or Progs numbers that have references?
Does anyone disagree with the world map for things likes MC2 really being as far in to mexico as that world map shows? Did East meg 1 streach from St Petersburg to Moscow to Volgograd and as far east as at least Kazan (as I always thought) or is/was it in the Surgut area like the map seems to show? East meg 2 is it built around Lake Baikal?
Also,This thread is awsome for Post Apocalypse War information but is it ever mentioned how many sectors MC1 Had before the war? Or is that mentioned in the Bobs Law sector reorg episode?
yours with confusion

Film & TV / Re: Predators - Sneak Peek

Uh ho! 4' long wrist blades smacks of AvP 1's desperate and incorrect thinking that making everything bigger equates to it being 'cool'. And was a major part of why that film sucked big fat face hugger [spoiler]cock[/spoiler]. Keep the wrist blade a reasonable size, 2' max and give the Preds a friggin sword or spear. Giving them massive and frankly impractical wrist blades makes the look clumsy and OTT.

Predator elder: "Ah HA! Pray is sighted. Now we- WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT RACKET?!!"
Predator novice: "Sorry, Elder one."
Predator elder: "You realise we are STELTHY HUNTERS, right? I mean we have sodding FULL BODY OPTICAL CLOAKING SYSTEMS, which I might add become useless WHEN THE PRAY CAN HEAR US COMING FROM A PARSEC AWAY!"
Predator novice: "Yes Elder one. Sorry Elder one. It... It's just these new type of wrist blades we have been trying out..."
Predator elder: "What about them?"
Predator novice: "Well, They're bigger them I am. Which is you know, cool and all like, for when I am using them to stab unwary prey..."
Predator elder: "So what's your point?"
Predator novice: "It's just when there retracted they become a bit impractical and I nearly keep cutting my own head off. And that's if I even raise my arms a little bit let alone jump stealthy from tree to tree.. And, well we HAVE lost more pack members during hunts to self decapitation then have blown themselves up and that's just BEFORE we have left our ships..."

it's that time again where we kick off the crust and shift over to something new and shiny

You mean "they have worked out how to use the current site and are comfortable with how everything works, let's change everything again and confuse the crap out of them."

I think these changes are done in the same spirit as a kid who kicks over an ant hill every week or so.  ;)

I am thinking that this is it for the series. However this arch ends its going to be Dante's 'The Horned God'. Which is where Slaine should have stopped IMO.

Things being as they are though it is likely that if they continue after what ever happens now and Dante will, like Slaine, turn in to the tied, overdone shark jumping shadow of its self. (Sorry TS but it, for me, has for the most part been utter Ball-licks since THG ended).
