Any idea of what such a game would be like? ]]> Video Game Discussion neatoman http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=68312 <![CDATA[[Question] Firefox banned?]]> http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=68311&goto=newpost Fri, 28 Aug 2026 08:54:41 GMT Interesting… I can’t get into the site right now using Firefox, Cloudflare appears to be blocking it and saying “forbidden”.

This franchise has gone on as long as TMNT has and is from the 80's yet I have no real attachment to it.

Sure enough they did and I bought it. I already have a copy of Rich Horn/TMNT: A Collection's 40th Anniversary 1st Print Facsimile Edition, so I thought I would compare the two.

The things the two reproductions have in common:
  • TMNT #1 1st-3rd Print Wraparound Cover artwork
  • The 40 pages you all know by heart and love, no more, no less
  • Printed on newsprint in glorious black & white
  • The ad for Gobbledygook #1-2 on the inside back cover is present and correctly reproduced
  • No ads for modern comics
  • Modern publishing logo on outside back cover
  • Magazine-sized
  • Glossy black cover stock
  • Red overlay (no 3rd Print pink here)

There are many differences between the two however:
  • RH has explanatory text on the inside front cover and adds a modern legal notice while retaining the legal notice for the 1st-2nd Prints, IDW has none but eliminates the original legal notice and adds its own
  • IDW eliminated the Mirage Studios copyright and original cover price on the back cover, RH retains them
  • RH has its logo on page 21's inside gutter margin, IDW does not
  • IDW's cover margins are significantly thinner than RH's, which replicate the original printings
  • RH's book matches the original 1st Print's dimensions exactly, IDW'w book is slightly smaller but only by 1/16" (W) and 2/16" of an inch (H).
  • IDW fixes all the errors of the 1st-3rd Print, RH has all the errors in the 1st Print
  • IDW's has a $6.99 cover price, RH charges $15-50+shipping for a loose copy, depending on condition
  • IDW's paper is slightly heavier and uses a more neutral gray tone, but RH's books were printed two years ago and its paper may have already started to age

Rich used the original TMNT #1 production negatives that were used to run off the interior pages of the 1st & 2nd Prints. IDW obviously used a later source, the DuoShade is more heavily applied, greater detail is found in certain background elements and more even in its application over wide areas of background. The inking of RH's edition is light to match the original 1st Print. While it might be too light for some, IDW went too far in the dark direction. Most pages look OK but others are so dark that it looks weird (pages 5 & 13, 19, 20-21, 24-25) and detail is lost (page 21, panel 4). It is as if on several pages large areas of the darkest black are rendered lighter than areas of black around them. For this reason I cannot quite recommend it over Rich's if you have to make a budget-based decision which to get. If this issue is a limitation of my copy, then you could do worse than to pick this up. ]]> TMNT Comic Discussion Great Hierophant http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=68308 R.I.P.

Longtime Warner Bros. animation boss Sam Register is departing the company next week as his contract expires, Warner Bros. TV Group chair Channing Dungey announced in a memo to staffers this afternoon. Dungey said she and Register “mutually agreed not to renew his contract,” and that he will be exiting his long-running role as president of Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe.

“It’s time for me to move on to the next chapter in my life, and I’m grateful to have Channing’s support as I exit Warner Bros Animation,” Register said in a statement shared by Dungey. “It’s been an amazing ride and I want to extend my sincere thanks to all the great people I’ve worked with — we’ve built some incredible things together. I wish you all the best moving forward, and I’m excited to explore all the possibilities in my future.”

Here are some of mine:

- Probably my biggest one is Hank Pym having nothing to do with the creation of Ultron. I remember when the Phase 2 slate was released, it seemed pretty obvious that Age of Ultron was going to dovetail into Ant-Man. Wrong!

- Goes hand in hand with the above, but Hank and Janet not being founding members of the Avengers.

- Much of Tom Holland's Spidey lore having some gaping holes. No Oscorp, no Octavius, no Doctor Connors, apparently uncle Ben doesn't even exist, FAKE Daily Bugle. I could go on. Pretty much all because they're allergic to "retreading" any ground the previous crappy movies covered. Dumb.

- Fantastic Four being such a late addition, but that was a legal thing.

- Lame version of Adam Warlock.

- Brie Larson as Carol and Elizabeth Warren as Mar-Vell. Carol should be about the same age as Tony Stark and have a commanding presence. What do we get? Waify little Brie Larson's scrawny ass. For all of Marvel's cringy virtue signaling, they had to get a young actress instead of appropriately casting a slightly older woman for this role. ]]> TV and Movies ToTheNines http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=68304 <![CDATA[TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures #40 preview/discussion "A Mondo Metal Time"]]> http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=68303&goto=newpost Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:22:40 GMT Out Wednesday. https://comicsbodega.com/preview-tmnt-saturday-morning-adventures-continued-40/ Out Wednesday.

HBO Max has given an eight-episode, straight-to-series order to a new half-hour comedy, The People v. Gorilla Grodd (f.k.a. DC Crime), from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television.

The Max Original comedy stars Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Jimmy Tatro as Gorilla Grodd, and Superman actors Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, and Wendell Pierce as Perry White.

The series also stars Mary Holland, Eduardo Franco, Arian Moayed, Dan Perrault, Andrew Leeds, and Tim Baltz. Their respective roles have not been revealed. Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault will serve as showrunners, writers, and executive producers, with Yacenda set to direct all episodes. James Gunn and Peter Safran also serve as executive producers.

According to the first officially released plot details for The People v. Gorilla Grodd, the series follows a superintelligent ape who is convicted of murdering his father, the King of Gorilla City. In an eight-part "true" crime docuseries, the Daily Planet's Jimmy Olsen reopens the case, investigating whether Gorilla Grodd was wrongly convicted in one of Metropolis' most famous murder trials.
