Episode 44: "TWO DISTINCT FLAVOURS OF ENERGON POOP - Living in a resource-depleted police state on the brink of political collapse, Marian, Stuart and Tom catch up with IDW's Transformers Galaxies comic which they can only understand through the lens of the Spice Girls, metaphors for collective acti...

Ironworks which I ordered ages ago. I like the LEGO style approach, although do wonder how durable the pieces will be. Want the yellow truck from the micromasters set now... And jumped on an acceptably priced loose Perceptor to have a go at making a Xaaron at some point. Generally avoiding ordering...

Plus if widespread enough there's greater risk of further mutation.

Some somewhat positive news;

Wouldn't disagree but the Conservatives are going to have a tough job of that whilst headlines are the number of high profile cases and care workers dying, which are unlikely to go away even if the curve is flattened. The thing is it isn't just the highly emotive death rate, it's the hospitalisation...

Multiple studies now in that strongly indicate that whilst keeping 2m away from people is a good idea, keeping 6-8m is better if they look like they might cough or sneeze; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-52126735 / https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2763852 https://www....

Right now, if you let me know when it's up I'll hack something into the header to show at the top of the main forum index.

As and when we can sort something out with the toy reviews, or other content, I'll do an easier-to-update content block similar to the updates page code.

Siege Apeface... I see what people mean by the ugliness of the plastic. First thing it reminded me of was the old glow-in-the-dark plastics from the late 80's/early 90's. Whatever happened to that stuff? I haven't seen it used since... well, since the late 80's/early 90's. Still see it on dollar st...

@Skyquake: Assume decision was taken last week, and just waiting for the news stories to back things up. Helpful they've acknowledged specifically what everyone following things already knew about following the trajectory of other countries.

Enjoyed the rest of the season and will work backwards to season 11 at some point -- the newer filming style works with something like the concluding story arc. I am getting sick of Gallifrey having to be taken out of the equation, though, rather than writers being prepared to think around and inclu...

It might not matter if it continues to mutate. Bad enough it destroys lung tissue, but if it becomes more aggressive in younger populations or gets weaponised Stephen King turns out to be a prophet with The Stand. https://www.facebook.com/Sailboatdog/posts/3051612344906616 https://www.facebook.com/S...

Am genuinely curious if the current crisis will have any long-term effects on social and economical levels, providing that fundamental infrastructural elements Easy international travel's going to be very hard to justify when short-term economic measures will have created generational debt. It's al...

I mean, could do without the silly coronet or could repaint it a dark grey, but it looks like they've reused a Terrorcon/Seacon leg design for Hammerbyte (whoever he is) and there's no lack of pose-ability. Any others worth watching out for that you know of? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083VLV...

Must get around to re-reading that at some point -- as a love letter to different forms of fiction it's right up there with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but still very much its own thing focusing on comics. Even better if you've read some of the source material like Doc Savage.

Yeah, also intentionally screwing employers out of business insurance by not mandating closures.

As morbid as it is, as long as the number of critically ill stays below a critical threshold, not many people are going to die who wouldn't likely have died soon from underlying conditions anyway. It's when the hospitals have more seriously ill patients than ventilators that we really need to worry...

There's a clear line to try to include some female historical characters, the writing was as subtle in the Tesla one as the holiday resort one, but most of the dribble on Youtube seems to be butthurt incels. I've only got one browser signed into Google, and "ruined forever!!1" clickbait was being pr...

Skipped series 11 and three episodes into 12... been decent enough so far. And skipping ahead further and reading things that include Timeless Child info, I think I'm likely to be fine with it, being more of a fan of the extended universe books than a lot of the TV stuff. The list of "other" incarna...

I'm inclined to agree more with some of the math here -- https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca -- which is that having failed to contain (like countries that have already had to deal with SARS and other outbreaks, which therefore took things a bit more ...

Well, Trump DOES continue to have rallies after having shaken hands with multiple people exposed to the virus (and at least one confirmed case). And his supporters do skew to the ridiculously old... :glance: Yeah, I'd assume he's already been confirmed infected, and will either disappear for a whil...

Could happen, couldn't it? I mean they did Rung -- albeit as a targetmaster. Can't see Xaaron fitting into Earthrise but Hasbro isn't wedded to consistency, they're doing micromaster bases and citybot deluxe partners. Swoop has the considerable selling point that he's spare, like having Loudmouth to...
