All-purpose, running Geek thread (formerly Battlestar Galactica thread)

"There is no such thing as overkill, there is only "Fire!" and "Reload!".

"If it ain't broke, it hasn't been issued to the infantry."

"If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it."

 

2MC, if you have not, you need to read John Ringo's "Live Free or Die". First alien contact SF, with a military SF/humorous bent. His protagonist, Tyler Vernon, is modeled on Howard Tayler, who writes Schlock Mercenary - which Ringo is a fan of. Fun book, old situations handled in a very fresh way, and funny as hell in places.

 

THE WALKING DEAD to End With This Week's #193 - Report

Well, this came out of nowhere.

 

For a second, I thought it was the TV show, which I thought would never end.

 

Holy crap!!

 

I figured at this point they'd run to 200 and call it quits there. Kirkman usually has no problem stretching a story way longer than it needs to go.

 

From the last "Letters..." at the end of the last issue (words written by Kirkman)

Something happened between when they printed the last issue and rushing to end it. It'll be interesting to hear what happened. I'm assuming sales have slumped.

 

Thor has the best Walk Up, Zeppelin's Immigrant Song. better than Iron Man's Shoot to Thrill.

 

Don’t know where to put this

 

I was wondering the same thing.

Here's something that definitely belongs on the Geek thread.

 

All aboard on the hype train.

 

Did that dude really pronounce Jedi as "jeddy" and Vader as "va-dyr?" How can you get those wrong?
