The RARE Korean "Engine Roll Call" Song (YouTube) The signature Thomas tune, sung in Korean. Although, why label the video "RARE" as if it's some kind of lost eBay treasure? It ain't rare in Korea, I'll wager.
Uncle Sam and the runaway photocopier (Matching Dragoons) It really is disgusting that DC would let an artist get away with photocopying 75% of his book. Duping your panels can be an effective dramatic storytelling technique, but this idiot is just plain lazy.
Passage (via Kotaku) Great little five minute game. Go download it and play it - and think about it - before you read any commentary on it. My high score is 834, but I didn't really explore all that much. (Is that telling?)
Gametap: Disappearance of over 70 games on December 11th (via GameSetWatch) They just hit 1000 games on the subscription service, and then had to yank 70 of them due to contract renegotiations. This is why I'll never buy into an all-or-nothing rental service.
And shit, only 1000 games? Hell, I already own about 500. You mean to tell me that Gametap can only barely double my collection and I have to pay for it to infinity? And games can disappear at any time with a spare week's notice?
Maybe He Just Hates Champagne Glasses? (Post Modern Barney) Batman as "gay-baiting asshole." Hilarious scans... I wonder if this story is still in continuity?
