By that I mean the history of the toyline, but given how many stories this has created, and I’ve reviewed, plus this being my favorite fiction franchise it’s interesting to see the full history of where the Autobots, Decepticons, and others came from.

According to scientists zombies are impossible and Skynet is the dream. My money’s on the death bots.
And we’re just in late June, folks.
Over at The Clutter Reports this week I did a proper summary review of Spider-Man: Carnage In New York. Meanwhile, nobody’s voted yet for our next Chapter By Chapter book review. You have until Tuesday night so somebody let me know they care. Please?
Otherwise this week I already have a commentary scheduled to post on Monday, where we usually do Chapter By Chapter and it will return there next week. My webcam seems to be working on the new computer so I’m going to give it a full test this week, so I’ll post that. I’ll be doing a few different test videos with various processes in order to get where I’ve wanted to be on the video side. However, the focus is still the articles and comics for the time being so be prepared for mostly that this week. Stay safe everyone.
Starting out as a tabletop RPG produced by FASA, BattleTech has gone on to make appearances in multiple media. Probably the most well known are the video games and its spin-off series Mechwarrior. The franchise takes place in the future as outlying colonies known as the Inner Sphere is cut off from Earth and eventually wages war on each other, with different kingdoms and houses vying for control. At some point a new threat was added with The Clans, a group of warriors who share a code but also exist as groups fighting for dominance of both the Clans and now the Inner Sphere. It’s at this point that Saban Entertainment produced a thirteen episode series based on the games.
The show tells of the first appearance of Clan Jade Falcon as it took over the planet Sommerset, the first planet to fall under their assault. Adam Steiner, a cousin of one of the more powerful houses in the Sphere, was born there and uses his family name to bring together representatives of two of the warring houses–the Federated Commonwealth and the Draconis Combine, to form a force to reclaim Sommerset as the first battle to drive the Clans off. Thus they will be referred to in the series as the 1st Sommerset Strikers. Tonight’s episode is the invasion and attempt to create a counterforce. I keep thinking I already posted this for Saturday Night Showcase but since I didn’t let’s finally make me right.

Remember my new computer? Well, I wanted to test how it handles the video process and so I did a quick v-log. Today I finished editing it and that’s all I have to post today.
Turns out the render time was pretty good, but we’ll have to see how it handles a full video review in the future. The program didn’t crash though I apparently didn’t input the background music program, so I need to do that. (I thought I did.) So it looks like this might work out. I also got the webcam to run for now but I’ll test that with a v-log when I get a chance.

Advance Comics was better to the smaller comic shops I tend to use.
TwoMorrows Publishing, creator of numerous magazines for comic collectors, have been royally screwed over by Diamond after their decision to shut down and NOT PAY PUBLISHERS FOR ITEMS ALREADY ORDERED! Losing Barnes & Noble to the death plague quarantine hurt them even more but as this article notes Diamond smacked them twice. This is what happens in a monopoly.
