iF-Worlds: Tales of What Might Have Been!
November 28, 2011 7:42 pm Man was that fun, Thanks so much Tim.
It made me wounder how different would movie theaters be now if they had had multiple screens back in the 20's and 30's. Would we still have had blockbusters and the "Big Studio" system? Or would smaller companies have developed, and more regional movie production?

The Best of the Week in Panels – 11.16.2011
November 17, 2011 9:50 pm Since I haven't had a chance to read Batman 3 yet, I may be way off base on this (or it may be explained in the comic).
And I know I'm way over analyzing it, but that picture just doesn't seem right for the time period. I mean a secret society with mixed sexes would be rare to begin with, back then. And even then I would think it would be the woman sitting in the chairs. Also, shouldnt everyone be looking stiff as bords, not relaxed as they are, since they probably had to stay still for a long exposure time?
Oh well, guess I'll have to wait until I get back to my lcbs in a few weeks.

November 16, 2011 10:12 am I don't read much marvel, and I've never picked up this book, but you are so right about the cover. I think I may have to read this book just to find out how the girl gets the Thor helmet, if nothing else.

First Impressions: MetaMaus: A Look Inside a Modern Classic, Maus
October 10, 2011 10:57 pm @Paul
I followed the link to your "Paul reads the classics" review of the original and found it very good ( as most of your revues are). So I did a search on it and the only other classic I found was Watchmen. Were there other classics search didn't pick up, or did the segment only last the two months?
Inquiring minds need to know :-)

DC Relaunch Week One – By the Numbers
September 13, 2011 10:25 am Great to see this listing, really interesting numbers. I haven't had a chance to get to the LCS yet, and although I could have just downloaded them, I've decided on the first batch to get the physical copies.
Oh, on a side note the "Lowest Average Rating (out of a posible 5):" are listed as percentages, when they probably shouldn't be.
I'll be interested to see how this changes for week two. I know just by the nature of what books are coming out I have less on my pull list this week then last.

The Best Show We’ll Never See – The ‘Locke & Key’ Pilot Trailer
August 26, 2011 1:52 am It's too bad the networks don't do miniseries anymore. I know that was more of a pre cable thing for them. But still a holloween miniseries with the high quality of the first one could have done good for them. I guess I'm one of the few that enjoyed a six to eight hour-ish story. Longer then a theatrical movie, but more self contained then a series.
Oh, well.

Welcome to the New iFanboy
August 17, 2011 10:42 pm Once again, thanks for being as responsive to comments and keeping us up to date guys. I know you guys have been working a lot on the comics page today, thank you. I've found it fun to check in today on the POTW percentages. First they were staying well under 100%, now they are adding up to well over 100%. This is a very minor thing, but thought you might want to be made aware of it if you hadn't noticed it yet.
Keep up the awesome work,
John

August 15, 2011 6:08 pm I've noticed a lot of sites that did redesigns in the last 6 months have gone to that scroll within a window thing. I'm really curious why that is.
I mean atheistically it really doesn't help and from a usability standpoint it really is more of a pain. Is it easier to code? or is there some design philosophy that has been going around saying this is the way it should be done?
The only reason I could think to do it would be if the whole outer screen was static, and it kept the adds in one place all the time, but that's not how I've seen it implemented on this or other sites. At least there are not multiple scroll windows like the Gawker sites have gone too, supper annoying.

August 15, 2011 1:46 pm So, my pulls seam to have gone away from last week (known bug I believe). I'm tempted to repull and regrade, but don't want to inflate the overall numbers for the comics, which seem correct. So was this lost for good (happened between backup of data and launch) or should I just be patient?
