I'm reminded of Planet Mega Man.

[Sakura Leic]

It's very dead.

I wish the owner would delete it already. Only activity the past 2 years was recurring virus problems. At least I got a free PS3 for my admin help way back.

To this day, I also think that site's built-in chat is what lead to a slow death from the very start.

Yeah it's time to pull the plug and let it RIP.......oh god I never realized how that phrase could be so morbid.  I'll never look at Bey Blades the same way again.........

[Amatiramisu]

I'm still steam friends with an admin from TheCyberNetwork if anyone remembers that.

[Sakura Leic]

It sounds really familiar.......

Am I going insane or is Marvel Comics (not the movies) been declining in quality for the past few years?

I mean, they essentially relaunch their comics with #1s every year with variants for a temporary sales boost. Even when they keep the same creators on the title, which is especially egregious in the case of Amazing Spider-Man and Jane Foster. Then there is the glut of cross overs, I'm talking Avengers vs. X-Men, Original Sin, Axis, and Secret Wars. So many upheavals that I cannot bother get invested anymore. For pity's sake, part of the impetus behind Avengers vs. X-Men was to bring mutants back from the brink of extinction and barely three years passed, now they are back to the brink in Extraordinary X-Men.

*Slow clap* Really, congratulations Marvel. As petty and vindictive as it sounds, I want your comics line to crash and burn now that you are saturating the market with god knows how many Spider-Man, Avengers, and (god help me) Inhumans titles. I mean, I have my issues with DC after the "New 52" and the extremely lacklustre Convergence, but really you are taking it to a whole new level.

Seriously, the last Marvel titles I gave a [tornado fang] about were Scarlet Spider and New Warriors. The movies are still fine, for the most part. In a broader sense, the media I find the superhero genre enjoyable in are not in their native medium. CW's The Flash gets me excited every week while the comic book has me going, "Meh."

Sometimes I think the $5.66 (damn exchange rate) on one new comic would be better spent on two and a half second-hand comics I can buy at the Sunnyside Community Centre every month. Am I going nuts?

[Protoman Blues]

Honestly, I gave up on comics. Way too expensive to keep collecting.

[Sakura Leic]

You know I wonder if my brother ever finished playing Arc Rise Fantasia, that game had a lot of holy [parasitic bomb] moments despite having some really bad voice direction.

[Protoman Blues]

I'm so happy MST3K is back

[Sakura Leic]

Wait, what?  Seriously?

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah, the Kickstarter met its initial goal.

I need more of this in my life!

[Sakura Leic]

I seriously need to watch that show.

[Quickman]

Jehovah's Witnesses came by again.

[Sakura Leic]

That's swell.

Also I really hate when people fetishsize Pokemon and it shows up on Google search even if it is on the safe search, and I see this more than Ponies.  I mean seriously 1 out of 10 pictures the Pokemon are either really fat, anthropomorphisized without making them a gijink, or tickle tourtured.

God dammit I really wish Rule 34 didn't affect Pokemon so much, even though that's asking way too much.

[Quickman]

Inflation and vore fetish.  I just don't understand it.

"I'mma inflate you like a balloon!  That's kinky as [parasitic bomb]!"

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah it's either inflating them or combining the anthro and fat fetish with occasional pregnant bellies.  I really do not understand why people get off on that, making things morbidly obsessed.

And I'm assuming vore is having them cut up a lot?

[Quickman]

Vore is sometimes seen in combination with inflation and fat fetishes.  The subject would be devoured whole and intact, and still very much alive inside the eater, who would then have a distended belly as if they were pregnant.

Digestion consists of partial digestion, or essentially butt birth.

That's the tame vore.  The nastier vore is just plain cannibalism.

[Sakura Leic]

Ugh that's [tornado fang]ing disgusting, sorry I asked everyone.

[Phi]

Inflation and vore fetish.  I just don't understand it.

"I'mma inflate you like a balloon!  That's kinky as [parasitic bomb]!"

Maybe it's something Chubby Chasers are into?

Though I'd imagine even they have limits.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah it's the chubby chaser thing.

[Amatiramisu]

The fat fetishism thing is honestly getting out of hand where it's basically everywhere. I saw one of Eclair. Y'know, my waifu.

Dog Days isn't even popular in Japan.

I'm just wondering how why even

[Quickman]

Ugh that's [tornado fang]ing disgusting, sorry I asked everyone.

I've seen vore and inflation RPs.  All I can really say about them is that they certainly are a thing.

On the funnier fetish side of things, while watching WTFIWWY Live, Tara showed a balloon popping fetish video.  It was hilarious!  All it was was a guy popping balloons.  That's it.

Seriously, I was kind of uncomfortable when I saw a chubby chaser in an episode of Air Gear years ago as a punchline at the end of it even though it was kind of funny.  I don't think it was necessary even if it made sense given the context.

Honestly, I gave up on comics. Way too expensive to keep collecting.

It is getting increasing harder to justify a $3.99 price point on 20 pages of content of increasingly predictable material. (In my case, the rather pitiful exchange on the Canadian dollar inflates it to around $5.40 before sales tax.) I mean, Marvel replaced Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, and Thor Odinson in their respective roles in the 80s, Thor again in 90s with Eric Masterson, Steve again with Bucky/Winter Soldier in the 2000s, and again in 2010s with Sam Wilson and Jane Foster. The entertainment media is not really helping and are more or less acting as a public relations appendage for the big two, the Outhousers notwithstanding. For the most part, they act like cheerleaders in trying to convince the public that it is completely groundbreaking when it is completely old hat.

That said, at least the superhero genre seems to be doing all right. Do you have any thoughts on the Flash/Arrowverse, PB? The second season of the Flash as completely reeled me in with the Zoom and Earth-2. I nearly exploded when they made a visual tribute to Flash (vol. 1) #123 in "Flash of Two Worlds." The crossover with Constantine in Arrow was pretty enjoyable too and though it's not part of that universe, Supergirl has gotten better in my view with last night's episode with Livewire.

As for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm trying to figure out how this show matters in the MCU. I mean, the films don't even acknowledge its existence, and the plot threads the involving the Inhumans feels forced because Fox has the rights to X-Men. I have not watched Daredevil, have no interest in Jessica Jones whatsoever, and probably should catch up on Agent Carter.

I would invite them to dinner... as the main course. I can tell my other guests that it is Soylent Green.

He popped them with his thighs, which was pretty amazing.

Was it in a provocative position?
