    Fun fact about blue Bic pens: something in the ink mimics subterranean termite trail pheromones, so if you have a bunch of termites . . . because . . . and you have a blue Bic pen, you can trick them into walking a line you drew.

    • @Boogie_the_cat

      I think you drank too much electric Kool aid and dreamed that.
      Or it's one of those stupid urban myths that sticks around because nobody in their right mind would have the proper circumstances to check the validity of it.
      It's like: "hey if you grind up a bunch of bee penises and snort them, it gets you really high"
      And the rare beekeeper who also has tiny forceps and a microscope and surgeons precision hands is never going to emasculate a bunch of bees just to see if s/he can get a buzz on.
      Because, yeah, according to The Anarchist's Cookbook, if you dry out banana peels and smoke them, the "bananadine" in them will get you high.
      Yup, it'd be a real shame if something like the Internet came along and proved conclusively that there is no such thing as bananadine. Whoops. Sorry 1970's era 'heads, you wasted your whole weekend trying to smoke a unicorn.

    The Scarecrow figure is from what is considered the fourth and final season of Batman: the Animated Series. The artwork changed and is more similar to the artwork found in Superman: the Animated Series and the various Justice League cartoons. It was technically called the name seen on the box, but it only lasted the one season, so it's widely marketed as just the fourth season.

      Super heroes may be/have alter egos but really the theme is getting a bit boring. How many times do people wanna look at Superman in a slightly different shape? A lot apparently. They could have done more on the Jekyll and Hyde, maybe something to do with warewolves or some other shape shifter, something that isn't a man in spandex, again.

    It looks like the Gandalf figure has a bloody scabbard for his sword! Attention to detail you don't normally expect from those kinds of figures, and if it actually fits that's extra play value right there. I do like the look of it, but it's probably a tricky task to track one of them down considering the shelf-life of such figures.
    Also, that Egon Spengler figure reminds me vaguely of Jimmy Neutron due to that insane hair.

    Y'know, I just decided to order my first ever Loot Crate to test the waters at the start of this month. I read the theme and saw that it included "Marvel, DC, Spider-Man and Transformers" content, so I figured why not? It couldn't be too bad could it? They occasionally have some fairly special and unique items in, I could always do with a fun new t-shirt, and I personally quite like Funko-Pop! and QFig figures, so where's the harm in it?
    Well, to be frank, I feel quite ripped off, personally. It's just an unfortunate coincidence that I picked a starting month with a Loot Crate that feels quite poor, but alongside that: My expected delivery date for this month's crate isn't for another two and a half weeks! I only live in North Yorkshire, not massively far away from Ashens himself realistically, yet I'm still waiting a massive amount of time for a crate that I ordered as early as the third of this month. Now that I know part of what I'm waiting for is just a shoddy plastic bowl with a fraction of the Hulk's fingers on it: It just really feels like insult to injury. A real shame. Think I'll avoid Loot Crate in future and go for some of the more consistently nice crates you can get in the hopes of some nicer products at a more reasonable price and delivery date.

    10:34 - Nope, it's the same here. Action figures come out a couple months before the film, stay on the shelves while it's in theatres and soon after the dvd/bluray release. But usually they find their way to the clearance section a couple months after that. The only toy lines that have a genuine shelf life are toys based on TV shows, or long established toys. But even then, the toy lines seem to change ever 6 months with new characters or new versions.

    As Stuart mentioned, the Hobbit films were made in terrible conditions. To explain, the movies switched directors with only a few months until production had to start and the new director wanted to make the films differently. Due to this they were basically winging it on the day of the shoot. It's really sad because in the production vlogs (which you can find on TH-cam) you see everyone getting more and more tired, stressed, and due to that depressed. So when you and other people say that the films are bad it's because they had 3 months to prepare the movie as apposed to the lord of the rings, which they had 3 years.

      Seggins Productions not to forget the most damning thing of all, they made Ian mckellan cry. after the fellowship of the ring became such good friends with the forced perspective tricks meaning that they were working together a lot of the time. the hobbit trilogy had him acting alone on a greenscreen. he has admitted that he just started to cry because he hadn't gotten into acting for such a detached experience, not even getting to interact with his fellow players. for making Magneto, Gandalf and Estragon so broken as to cry on set the hobbit trilogy films have my eternal scorn (and the gold fever obsession thing was bullshit too)

      is that why the first movie seemed like an indecisive mixture of 'lets add that crazy dude to be family friendly' and 'lets make it all epic like lotr'? i always wondered about that, it never seemed to know just what it was trying to be

      Doesn't help that the source material was at least 1/3 the size of LOTR and they still decided to make into into a trilogy of three hour long movies. If only they'd taken that time and money to make a single movie or even two shorter ones 😔

    Just to slightly correct you on the Poltergeist info, It was Heather O Rourke who played the little girl Carrie Anne had cardiopulmonary arrest and intestinal stenosis and she died age 12 not long after Poltergeist 3. Nathan Davies who played Kane died in 2008 of emphysema and complications of pneumonia. Just thought you would like to know. Big Fan by the way.

And while we're speaking of that, Crazy Taxi is also free with ads (not under Sega Forever), so just play that. End of story. Sega Forever ain't bad, though. I don't even want to mention the rest of the crap that was shown because it's your standard gubbin.
