Guns? Check. Spurs? Check. Cigarette smoking cowboy hat and duster wearing scarred up rangy looking take no shit from no one antihero sonofabitch protagonist? Check and triple check in this, Rockstar San Diego's latest uber hype-machine of an action adventure Western epic
Essentially, Predators, at its core, is the spitting image of the franchise's first installment from way back in 1987. But! Is this necessarily a bad thing?
And here I thought I was in possession of the great video game equalizer; the skeleton key of connectivity and performance - a next gen console, or, my xbox 360 specifically. That's what I thought. But, then I had to go and feed the thing a copy of Lost Planet 2
And now, for your ocular pleasure, the new comic is up!
[note: I aim to update the comic section once a week, probably Fridays, with a new little batch of panels for the corners of your mouth to shimmy to. The format of these might change here pretty soon, but for now, the short commentary-esque style in which the last two have been is what I am comfortable with for the time being]
About that, I don't interperate Adrien Brody's physical/facial construction to be of an ugly persuasion, however, to one of these guys, he might look pretty unusual.
Predators, produced by Robert Rodriguez and directed by Nimród Antal, starring Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Laurence Fishburne and Walton Goggins, is slated for a July 9th release.

Well, our first Podcast (or, Deep Space Transmission, if you will) is up!
Alternate titles: LOST Penis Rock, TIMMY!, or In Which Fitz & Ryan are LOST
Half of the crew (Gabe and Carr) have been with the show, Lost, since it first aired and were all aflutter waiting to see what the final episode had in store for their patient, yet eager minds to devour. And then there is Ryan and I who, having never seen any of the show before, decided to catch the last little bit of the saga which is notorious for its intricate and highly elusive plot design.
We have a conversation about it. We record it. Hilarity ensues. I suggest feasting your ears.

Well! Planet Tobor finally sees its first comic up on this, the fifteenth of May (very VERY early in the morning), 2010 A.D. More updates and fun things should (hopefully) begin materializing at more frequent and (eventually) more regular intervals.
As for the comic (again, yay! first ever!!), it has everything to do with MekTek's seemingly inability (at least where my machine and I are concerned) to produce a working P2P thinga-ma-jig (known as MekTek X, or MTX) that allows you to nab their latest bits of Mechwarrior goodness and install them on your computer, the newest of which comes in the form of a FREE release of Mechwarrior 4: Merceneries! Oh, the excitement!
