GOD DAMMIT MARVEL

Yes, that's right. Marvel is apparently having a Wolverine anime made.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

"The architecture of the contemporary city is no longer simply about the physical space of buildings and landscape, more and more it is about the synthetic spaces created by the digital information that we collect, consume and organise; an immersive interface may become as much part of the world we inhabit as the buildings around us.

"Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging technology defined by its ability to overlay physical space with information. It is part of a paradigm shift that succeeds Virtual Reality; instead of disembodied occupation of virtual worlds, the physical and virtual are seen together as a contiguous, layered and dynamic whole. It may lead to a world where media is indistinguishable from 'reality'. The spatial organisation of data has important implications for architecture, as we re-evaluate the city as an immersive human-computer interface."

1) I don't understand, we already have X-23. As a clone teenage girl prostitute version of Wolverine with footclaws specifically so she can rip off Crying Freeman's styles, that's as anime as anything was going to get anyway.

2) That trailer is *terrible*. The action is both slow and uninteresting. Way to sell it, guys.

3) Anime Wolverine's claws are hilariously incapable of fitting in his forearms.

Agreed. The design is pretty but not actually Wolverine. The animation? Yeah.

Wolverine's claws usually can't. Opening of X-Men Legends 2, a moderately awful game

It's a good general tell to see if the artist gives a care.

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

Without the whitespaces next to the [ and ]. <url> is the actual url of the link and <text> is what you want to text to be.

So does anyone know how to make a url= link work when it ends in a parentheses? Or do you just have to tinyurl it every time?

It always appears as

Yeah. You replace them with %28 and %29.

So you'd do it like this:

Code: Select all

&#91;url=http&#58;//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_%282009_film%29&#93;This link doesn't work!&#91;/url&#93;
This link totally works!

I think you mean hopelessly useless.

I mean, my credentials are being a guy who reads a bit of wikipedia and watches neat bugs on youtube, but I object that the Snail prono episode's characterization of love darts as S&M goes beyond oversimplification of an apparently meaningful hormonal delivery system and she fucking misses the multiple phenotypes among male Salmon. I'm downright afraid to see what she says about elephant seals - even if they do have the largest sexual dimorphism of any species on earth.

Here's a short list of other crazy animal mating/reproduction habits that I had noted for a potential D&D setting building project that I'll likely never get to:
  • Aphids - telescoping generations yo
  • The Sacculina carcini barnacle - it's a lot creepier than her two minute barnacle skit even hints at.
  • Seahorses - halfway through incubation the female implants the eggs into the male - resulting in something almost like a shared pregnency
  • Komodo Dragons - we just figgered out that they can reproduce parthogenically within the last 10 years. But the ZW chromosome system means that a parthogenic clutch of eggs will have both males and females allowing for sexual reproduction in the next generation.
  • Endoparasitoid Wasps - this is where Ridley Scott's Alien came from. Except he missed the parts about adaptive neurosurgery (emerald cockroach wasp), geneengineered immuno-surpressent virus injections (tobacco hornworm wasps) and mind control we don't even understand yet (Glyptapanteles)
