The End of the Twinkie?http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2012/11/16/hostess-twinkies-ding-dongs-wonder-bread-going-out-of-business/1708409/
World War 3 may just be months away, with much of the middle east currently being blown apart by missiles and the locals setting their neighbours on fire, but the real news is that the Twinkie, the USA's primary contribution to world cuisine, could cease to be.
"You eat those?" I hear people ask. Hell no. Never eaten one in my life. There's something about their unnatural, chemical-yellow colour and that they have a half-life rather than a use-by date that just sets off one too many alarm-bells.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that if you read the print on the pack, you'll find asbestos to be a key ingredient.
Even John McClane can't keep one down, and he took out a building full of terrorists with nothing but his bare feet and a Santa hat.
Which leads to my point: Without the Twinkie, there are SO many lines from SO many classic movies that future generations just a

Bad Games.Is FarCry 3 a game where you get a penalty if you nick someone's stuff?
No.
Why, then, aren't item's collected on contact?
Why do I have to press a button each time I want to pick something up?
Why do I have to press AND HOLD a button each time I want to pick something up?
Why, in a game, where collecting items is a key part of gameplay, is it so damn hard to get the crosshair to register contact with said item, despite being right on top of it?
I get asked occasionally (well, I think "challenged" is more the word) by some people (snide idiots) if there are any games I do enjoy. Yes, there are many. Too many to list, in fact, so I shall simply summarise:
I enjoy games in which you lose yourself. Games that absorb you into the world on screen. This does not mean the game is some deeply written RPG epic, it just means that you forget you're playing it and feel more like you're living it, be it a simple 2D platformer or fast and furious 3D beat-em-up.

Sorry guysI'm going to stop the December Dicerolls for now so I can focus on drawing some Christmas pics for friends. I might finish before Christmas, not sure, but if I do I'll let you guys know.
Also wanted apologize for last night's stream. I hate explaining since I feel like I'm just making excuses, but I was really tired from having my earliest work shift, so I ended up feeling really picky about roll requests. I don't want anyone to feel like their idea wasn't good enough or anything, but if I force a request drawing when I'm not really feeling it, I end up really dissatisfied with the result, getting really critical about errors and feeling like nothing's going right so I should just stop drawing at the moment.
I probably shouldn't have streamed if I was feeling this way, but I wanted to try and get one last stream out if I was going to be saying, "Can't do any more for a while."
To be honest, I'm unsure if I should even continue doing these. I wanted to try and give people drawings since

Bullshit Moment in Fall of CybertronSPOILER WARNING!!
Well, the game did freeze up and forced me to reset my PS3 more than twice and I had to restart at checkpoints just so shit would load. Other than that though I still enjoyed playing this game. However, there is just this one part in chapter 10: the Final Countdown that I just cannot for the life of me let slide...
So here's a play by play: Optimus is asking a few Autobots over radio if it is confirmed that Megatron is alive (he got shit kicked out of him by Metroplex you see). And in comes Megatron, pop go those Autobots and Optimus is now talking to Megs, commenting how if Megs is so intent on getting Trypticon's core than the Decepticons are just as much in dire circumstances as the Autobots. But then.....oh God.....then Megs drops the stupidest thing I have ever heard ANY Megatron of ANY TF continuity spit out of his vocal processors. I forget the exact words but Megatron basically says "it's because of your ideals that Cybertron is a wasteland and I'

Rest in peaceRIP Buki (full name Kabuki): August 1998 - June 2012
A month or two ago, we noticed that he was drooling. Thought it was old age, but then we felt lumps in his chin and found out that he had mouth cancer. We did what we could (antibiotics, bottle-feeding him, cleaning him because he couldn't clean himself), but in the past few days, it was just too much: his mouth had tumors that misaligned his bottom teeth, he could barely eat because of it, he didn't want to do anything, and he was bleeding. We finally decided that keeping him anymore would be selfish and didn't want him to suffer.
Took him to the vet an hour ago. He kept burying himself in the familiar scent and warmth of the blanket from home. Vet gave him a sedative so he would relax and not feel any pain before the injection. He slowly became more peaceful and still, and we held him while the actual injection was put in.
He was such a quiet cat. He really didn't deserve this.

Galactic Empire under new management

Wow. This I didn't see coming: [link]

$4 Billion? (£2.5 Billion, in real money)
Not as much as Pixar.....but then, if Lucasfilm were a house, JarJar would be the devaluing, sh*t-stained carpet a new owner would have to deal with.

And, no, I'm not going to denounce it. Disney buying Lucasfilm? That has potential, and I'm not talking Star Wars, here.
If I've read the press release on the Disney corporate website correctly, they now own EVERYTHING – including Lucasarts, which is a division of Lucasfilm.
Monkey Island/Day of the Tentacle/Sam & Max + Disney? That could be amazing!

As for the (inevitable) Star Wars 7, I'm really hoping they use the Thrawn Trilogy. In fact, I'm betting they do. Let's face it; Disney haven't ever had an original idea, that's why they keep buying up other people's work, and if they're hoping to have something released by 2015 they'll have no choice but to dive into existing material.

Of course, if they produce a Saturday morning cartoon that follows the jolly adventures of a bunch of Younglings at Jedi School, I will burn the Magic F**king Kingdom to the ground.

To this day, I am still puzzled to everyone's hatred for Jar Jar binks. I found him to be a 10X superior to the comedic character he replaced in Ep1, C3PO

~Axigan Nov 5, 2012 Professional General Artist

"Monkey Island/Day of the Tentacle/Sam & Max + Disney? That could be amazing!" ...you forgot Fullthrottle, Grim Fandango and Zack Mckracken

Not sure about Sam & Max as it's Steve Purcell's baby and he fully owns it, i dont know for how long Telltale games has the license for them though, but I totally agree with the rest, i really hope they bring those franchises to life again.

I also read somewhere the Lucas deal also included ILM.

~LPHogan Nov 4, 2012

If they can make Monkey Island and keep the atmosphere of the games (especially the first one), I will have nothing at all to complain about!!!

~ShawnLeroy Nov 3, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

O.O After reading that last sentence, you have me frightened... That's totally something that Disney would do... I mean, there's a market for it. Kids would love that... Scary. Is there a way I can escape this if it comes to pass? Like, maybe moving to a secluded island that doesn't have the Disney channel?

~RogueKitty05 Nov 3, 2012

They've already said they aren't using the books, so no Thrawn. Going to be some kind of original story with Lucas consulting for them on it.

~Hybrid616 Nov 3, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I don't think this is a bad thing.
All this whiny, "ruined FOREVER!" bullshit is exactly the same as when they bought Marvel.

But guess what, guys? If it weren't for Disney buying Marvel, they likely wouldn't have had the finances to make the Avengers (or Avengers Assemble for us Brits) as big as it was.

And you forget about Pixar. Bought by Disney, still making the best mainstream animated films you're likely to see every couple of years.

The suits at Disney aren't idiots. They know that if they cast Miley Cyrus or whatever teen poplet they're trying to sell as the daughter of Luke Skywalker in the next movie that they're going to deal with more shit than they can possibly imagine.

One bad thing I can see coming out of this is that with Disney being as protective of their property as they are, you can pretty much kiss the Expanded Universe goodbye. I don't find it incredibly likely that they'll be taking it into account when making this next film.

By the way, I'm not actually a big Star Wars fan. I AM a Marvel fan, however.

I'd start buying the gasoline and the matches if I were you.

~kite-san Nov 2, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

See, younglings at Jedi School could be good. Make it a horror show. Fractures in the unreality of the jolly younglings as one of them is being jarred by the wrongness of this existence, felt through the force. Eventually formenting rebellion against the teachers who maintain this illusion, pelling it back to expose the abominations of their actual existence. Forget the name of that movie where someone's life was turned completely into reality tv, and everyone they ever interacted with was an actor, everyone in their world, except them, but it was done as comedy.

Take it as horror. Lone youngling finds out there are others questioning the illusion but only knows them long enough truly to be able to recognize the tattered remnants of their horrible death, devoured by Outside the illusion. Star Wars meets Tron meets Lovecraft. i'd hit it.
