  • It’s very possible my sheer lack of knowledge of the unix surrealism world means this has already been clearly debunked or blatantly confirmed, but I have it in my head that:

    • With some of the older techno-mage masters, such as the last fish, freedom is in their digital DNA. They spread freedom and unshackle others from their digital handcuffs as intended when they were created. The girl, however, is not necessarily created with this inherent will of freedom, but rather gains this will on her own after following the call from the elder to start her mission.






  • Thanks for bringing the comic to my attention in the first place! I agree that the concept sounds so wild that I have to have it. That bat-family-detective inspired itch got me scratching until I dug into the credits. I vaguely remembered a buddy had a Batman Noir edition of something but didn’t confirm until today that I didn’t imagine it and it was the Noir edition of The Dark Knight Returns (which I guess is right at home for Frank Miller).

    The TDKR Noir was pretty cool too! I think color does a lot to sell the scope of the world, stories, uniforms, etc., but seeing just the pencils and ink makes the art really stand out in a different way.






  • I think the most memorable is probably The Wolf of Wall Street but it was nowhere near as awkward as it could have been. My sister and her husband wanted to see a movie with the family in theaters. Luckily the uproarious constant laughter from the packed theater was far more manageable than the awkward silence that would have happened with an at-home watch.

    What really got me was that a whole group of my friends had planned on seeing it the week before, but one very difficult guy insisted that he would not go see a “boring movie about financial crime” and made such a huge fuss that we finally agreed to see American Hustle instead, which was a very tame movie “about financial crime” funny enough.

    After, that guy said he was bored for the entire movie (despite the fact that American Hustle was actually pretty good). If it wasn’t for the fact that The Wolf of Wall Street is exactly the kind of movie you want to see with your friends and not your parents, and that American Hustle would have been a perfect movie to see with the family, I’m not sure it would stick out in my mind so much.



  • Cassidy is arguably one of the best companions you can travel with in Fallout 2 for combat, especially if you give him a Gauss rifle. The hardened wasteland veteran that got old and settled down as a bartender in Vault City unless you go there and ask him to join you. The con is his prejudice against Lenny the ghoul, another companion you can travel with, and will insult Lenny if you travel with both at once. The pro is he also hates Myron, the sadistic drug supplier/slaver/sex predator, and Cass will endlessly insult him if you end up recruiting Myron to travel with both of you.




  • One of my favorite game publishers, this is wild (and not the Outer kind of wild). I’m super curious if the entire staff will start their own publishing company (which I imagine is harder to do without the financial backing of a billionaire’s daughter) or if they’ll split off and go their separate ways.

    I’m also very curious if this will start changing the kinds of games Annapurna publishes or if they’ll still take interest in odd and niche games that need a publisher. I wish I knew more about the dispute here but time will tell what happens next at some point.
