Re: Hey

I've just read that article, god that's pretty awful what Amazon's done, downgrading people's purchases from HD to lower res etc. I always imagined when a big company fails it would at least give you the option to download your digital purchases across a limited time frame. And I don't know why I ev...

Re: Hey

@Denyer, Comixolgy seems to have semi-imploded in that the name Comixology has gone but its still exists in what feels like a very half-arsed fashion. I read somewhere that other companies tried to take Comixology's mantle but failed because comics themselves are either in decline or the digital mar...

Re: I'm tired, time to post

I used to love Filet-o-fish, too. Last time I tried one must've been over 25 years ago, but I remember even at that time the buns were a lot smaller, so less fish... and it just felt like a bland interpretation of what the original McDonalds filet-o-fish really was! And like you say they're more exp...

Re: [The video game thread]

I bought Spacebase Startopia for the Switch. The controls are incredibly awkward, the animations stutter, the computer AI regularly repeats the same phrases and its very unintuitive for the first couple of hours. And I love it! You've basically been put in charge of Babylon 5 but its one of those 20...

Re: I cannot find my glue.

I lost a chunk of work for a job. I thought I'd saved it to my hard drive, and so went and formatted the SD card the work was on LIKE A CHUMP because there was still plenty of space on the card... but I was in the habit of keeping things clean. I realised by the end of the week what I'd done and no ...

Re: Skybound Transformers comics

Ooh, it just clicked that you mentioned 'Hasbro shared Universe elements'. That sounds bad... like Dark Cybertron/ROM/GI Joe throw-the-baby-out-with-the-bathwater bad. Don't they realise that sort of thing never works, and this series has barely got started! (I'm being very pre-supposing here, which...

Re: Skybound Transformers comics

Is it catching on with anyone yet? I see they're up to four issues now, I've seen some of the artwork and have started to love the kineticism, the fact there's some deaths and people other than Megatron actually have a shot at hurting Prime. I've been tempted lately to get into it, but I also want t...

That was really interesting to watch. Young me would have been totally stunned that Spike and Shockwave are voiced by the same actor. And Wally Burr runs a tight ship!

Re: Hey

Going back over old threads is really interesting, and helpful/insightful too when it comes to poring over old issues of the G1, G2, Dreamwave, IDW comics. MTMTE totally reignited my interest in comics and I loved the rather intense banter that would accompany the release of a new issue here on the ...

Its great that this place is still around. I like to check in fairly regularly and read the messages. Its also fun picking old random threads and seeing the names of posters I haven't seen in Donkey's years, and yet it really doesn't feel like that long ago. I think we're now as far away in time fro...

Re: Hound's backlog

I got a Switch a couple of weeks ago and have been busy building up an all-new backlog. The eShop is great for deals and I’ve been buying compilations of old arcade games. I used to play horribly compromised arcade conversions on old 8-bit and 16-bit computers back in the 80’s and 90’s… so to now ha...

Re: Shrapnel's two left hands.

Oh well, seems it was already known and noted on Wiki:

'Shrapnel's package art for his Hasbro and Milton Bradley releases hilariously depicts him with two left hands. For Takara's Japanese release, this error was corrected'.

Shrapnel's two left hands.

If you look at G1 Shrapnel's box art he has two left hands. At some point they corrected this but it made me wonder for a few moments whether the airbrushed artwork was in fact pieced together from component limbs on occasion. That can't be the case though because every toy has its own unique gun, c...

Re: Was the problem with Transformers the movie they killed Optimus Prime and the others or everyone did not see it?

I flipping loved that Ladybird adaptation. A friend had it at school and I would pour over the images. The animation loved so film-like, and so far above the choppy animation & colouring of certain episodes. Every image in the Ladybird book was drenched in shadow, it was so dark and moody. My Mu...

Re: Latest Music Purchases.

The Czars - 'Sorry I Made You Cry' (2010) Yay, music-ness! Just this one album for me. I totally dig John Grant’s voice and piano style. This is a covers album & not all great but he does do an awesome rendition of ABBA's Angel Eyes, and his versions of My Funny Valentine, You Don’t Know What L...

Really? Even the newest stuff like Alien: Covenant? I tried watching that the other day and it was hard work. Nothing too wrong with it in theory (apart from then not wearing helmets or masks or suits for protection on an alien planet), but all the good bits just seem to be nothing more than a rehas...

Re: Sunbow Marvel Archive (TF sections)

This is awesome! Every episode, the Movie in 4K! All free and all the background material and scripts! I love the 1984 toy fair catalogue. Not only is every figure proudly waving his gun in the air. They should've replaced 'More the Meets the Eye' with 'Out of this world Sales excitement'! And Shock...
