    Am I the only one who thinks they can add a red bandana and more curved sword to these things and re-brand these as Killer Instinct figures?

    Seems like. They should probably wait a few years though, maybe with the release of another KI title, probably for the next gen XBox.

    I'm still waiting on news about the Darkstalkers line.  I got a Storm Collectables brochure at a convention and all there was with respect to that was a title page with the Darkstalkers logo towards the end.

    On a second note. I think we'll see a transportation revolution next decade, just like we saw with communications this decade. Instead of smartphones, cord cutting and faster Internet, next decade will be more electric vehicles that will drive themselves.

    I agree. I have 8 years on my current gas car and think I'll wait another 5 years or so before getting another vehicle. I like to keep my vehicles until it just stops making any economic sense and typically go for dependable, value models. Given that I can wait a bit I'm mostly interested in the following two features for whatever comes next:

    A) Not be fully gasoline powered auto - I might go for a hybrid, if they are still being made and there haven't been any serious improvements in the range of full electrics, else I'd just go that route.  I would still like the ability to drive from LA to SF in a day without having to wait hours for a recharge of sorts.  I would also hate to get stuck in some remote place because I had overestimated how much charge I had left.

    B) Auto-driving features. When I surfed early mornings in previous years and then had to commute freeways for hours at a time to get to work, it was a pain. I'd always think, man, when are auto-driving cars gonna become a reality. Being able to sit back and let the software do the driving for 90% or so of the ride would have been ideal.

    Going through the Disney classics on Disney+. Started with THE BLACK HOLE. Probably the most bizarre and darkest film in their library. Especially Anthony Perkins's character's violent death scene. DEATH BY ROBOT BLENDER! YIKES! The film is like a pro-Event Horizon.

    Next up is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

    Something Wicked This Way Comes would like a word.

    I, my wife, and 2 year old liked it.  We didn’t stay for the after credits scene though.  Just looked it up on youtube.

    Damnit, now I got look up that scene. I knew we should have stayed longer.

  5. Agree with you @Tking22. I think it’s a great update to a character that I remember as more of an after thought from the original comics.

    I think the way the character actually relates to the rest of the hero coalition and vice verse is one of the more important parts of the whole series so far.

    Can’t wait till next week.

    too many obvious things are being iterated that don't need to be.

    That's what does it for me, but I haven't felt that way about this show.  My better half is completely engrossed by it.

    Guess I'm just glad that we're getting more stories in the SW universe that aren't simply Revenge of the Sith/Attack of the Empire part N.

    Not sure if you guys say the Unreal Technology shorts on how the show is made using "rear projection" Unreal panels:

    Very interesting to me to see how far game engines have come. Back when I loved deathmatch FPS LAN sessions, I was an Unreal Tournament diehard.  "Facing Worlds" was my jam.

    Cool to see it being used to make a live action show, apart from being the game engine used for most current fighting games.

    Now I need a Tangled sequel, it's been long enough!

    Agreed. It hasn't gotten the attention it deserved and the musical numbers were great.  There a TV cartoon series for it, but I don't have the Disney channel and would rather have a feature.

  8. So I'm currently doing a re-watch of Star Trek DS9 and I'm on episode 11 of season 3, "Past Tense, Part 1", when this kid shows up. In this episode, Sisko and gang end up in the far past of 2024 San Francisco, so yeah I'd buy that some of those Matchbox Veritechs will still be around:

    What was up with that engineer's eyes?!  I always assumed they were bionic or something.  Maybe he had tattooed eyeballs (yeah, that's a thing now) or modified eyes for better night vision for space work.

    I thought that the consensus was that it was due to badly done outsourced artwork, but in the above pic the art doesn't look so bad.  I know that the Argentine fan short film from a few years back actually used that as part of that characters backstory.
