It can make me more interested to know that something began life as something other than something that came in the wake of something else. Or at least less likely to dismiss it as 'just another clone'. Clearly your mileage varies. EDIT: In other news NBC picks up MAGNUM PI for 2 more seasons of 10 episodes each, with options for more seasons

I thought it worth pointing out. The adaption may/may not be good, but I enjoyed the comic.

The comic PAPER GIRLS started a year before Stranger Things.

Albatross. Conversation went something like this: "If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be?" *long awkward pause* "I...I cant think of an animal. My mind is blank." "Take your time." *even longer, more awkward pause* "...uh...albatross." "Beacause they can fly for hours with no land to rest on?" *awkward pause* "Because I thought of Coleridge's Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and its literally the only animal I can think of but I didn't want to say it because the albatross doesn't have a positive connotation in the story." *more awkward silence* EDIT: and before it's asked, yes I couldn't remember the word dog or cat or parakeet or any common house pet.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation would like to have a word....

I was once asked in an interview what kind of animal I saw myself as. That didn't go well. If its Tuesday, Guard Dog Must Be In British Columbia* *with apologies to Belgium.

Disagree. It wasn't personal time. Just because a game is ended doesn't mean the employee's obligation to their employer, in this case, the state has ended. Nor does it mean that the state owned facility is suddenly not state owned. Further as an authority figure, there are probably many who feel unable to refuse to participate when it became a public gathering since he chose to offer his prayer not in private, but in public in the state owned facility.

Click-bait headline; Genis-Vell isn't replacing Carol Danvers in the comic.

Google translate -

It's based on Tony Hillerman's novels.

Had you taken any cold medicine with a decongestant? Pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, phenylephrine, naphazoline and oxymetazoline are all supposed to raise blood pressure. Might also be a situational aspect to it as well (ie stress from going to the doctor and being sick). Making sure you're not dehydrated can also help with BP, as I understand it. Also

Heheh, I apparently have much to look forward to (for good or ill)...

Didn't get a chance to watch Cobra this week but did start reading some of Berserk.

I would but I admit a part of me is a for ridiculous parts of TOS related TREK... Also I just knew new TREK would go there, I just thought it'd be in DISCOVERY's 2nd season...

Tim Sale comic artist, probably best know for Batman: The Long Halloween with Jeph Loeb, but had been working in the industry since 1983 on a number of titles.

I haven't played any of the Witcher games.

Yeeah, I have that problem too, which is why I've tried to avoid mobile joystick games. Except Diablo (why did my character stop moving and attacking, did I get disconnected from the server? No, my thumbs just drifted. RE Staffing issues - over the course of 10 years I went from having around ~25 FT staff to now having 9. Spread over 7 locations. In public facing offices. 5 of the 7 locations are now run by a single person. RE: Gaming - I confess, that as I've gotten older, I have less patience for the longer narratives that a lot of RPGs strive for. While I still love RPGs, I just don't have the stamina (and to be fair, have a lot more demands on my time) than I used to. I've degenerated into a filthy casual gamer.

The Immortals and the Shadows are two groups vying for power in Sanctuary. I gather its something for players after playing the plot; there's a point where you get invited into one of the factions and if you accept you have missions related to the group as well as enmity with the other group. EDIT - it may be something you only get post lvl 50; my Crusader was 52 when I decided to switch to a Barb and see how they played. I'm on Ureh, but I don't really play enough to be a good team player so haven't explored much of the coop play excepting a couple of dungeon only groupings for extra spoils. EDIT2 - since I'd just started the Barb, recreated her on Arkaine's Valor.
