    Definitely not gay.

    Admittedly when you get past the WTFery it does make for a good read.


    I mean this is the only story where a homophobic forum administrator is a major plot point.


    It's kind of like watching the Zerg vs the Borg, really.

    That page is probably more detailed than most Wikipedia pages on actual wars...



    Probably 'cos all of the details are posted on the Internet, whereas the vast majority of details about actual wars are lost to history.

    Agreed, somebody needs to get started on a web-novel about a flame war...


    ^ Bu-but... but... well, pretty much.

    An OK-Cupid mod posts screencaps of flagged convos(4chan, so not safe for good taste). I'd post some of the pics to the Images thread, but there's so much good stuff I just can't pick:

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Nope, just being slow.

    Read that Moorcock. I didn't like the guy ever since it turned out he thinks he has a monopoly on magical swords and white-haired protagonists, and I'll leave walls of text to Alex, so I'll just post a single quote:



    there is Tolkein and that group of middle-class Christian fantasists who constantly sing the praises of bourgeois virtues and whose villains are thinly disguised working class agitators 



     I'd post you quite a great joke here, but alas - it's only in Polish. Several different such "analyses" of "Lord of the Rings" (two Commie, one Freudian, one Crazy Fundie, if you're curious; I guess I missed some). Oh, and as a nitpick, he apparently just couldn't grasp the spelling of "Tolkien".

    You can change. You can.

    Do not Go Gently is awesome. I think my faves are Espera, Somnarium, Soraya and The Price of Everything and the Value of Nothing.

    Also, Demon Knights and Swamp Thing.

    I still have yet to catch up on those two. Decided to go with supergirl instead because I can't get Miss Marvel stuff. So I'll have to settle with the other blonde puncher of things.

    Dammit, the DC stuff isn't up on Comixology yet >:/


    For now, I will read the two Ms. Marvel issues I bought but haven't read yet.

    INUH - have you thought of checking out DC's own free comic app? They might have things out earlier than comixology.


    That said this week for comics was fun. They did a great job with Swamp thing, particularly Anton Arcane as a Rot Lord. Seriously nice monster design and thematic elements to the guy right there. And next month, it's crossover time. Avenging Spider-man was Carol and Peter getting interrupted by a social justice girl who might as well have been a keyboard warrior with a jetpack. The X-men books this week were some good character work and pretty art. Venom was just brutal, but that's all I needed it to be this week. And I think Batman capped off the Court of Owls arc as best it could. American Vampire: Lord of Nightmares was a bit of an exposition dump, but it seems to finally be going places.


     


    @ the Moorecook article - I have to love how he burns Tolkein and Lovecraft for their vague prose. "Perhaps the reason they are so popular is that everybody else can imagine a better picture and fill it in for them". And he does have a point, a lot of sci fi and fantasy has kinda ugly influences of militarism and classism when you look at it.

    Nah, I just waited so I'd have all my comics in one place. Read them, and posted my thoughts on them in the comics thread.


    Also I'm not INUH >:/

    This is one of those cosmic reboots to try to get the mod staff a bigger, younger, hipper audience isn't it?

    Yeah, but there'll be another reboot in a few months to get them back to their silver-age roots. It'll include a streamlined version of UE's origins and powers, too.

    UE's origins and powers in a nutshell. He fell into a vat of servers and then was bitten by a radioactive web domain.

    I'm surprised people are only just noticing that we rebooted. I mean, we did a big marketing push and everything.
