Kaldath’s Corner: Halloween Specific Candy!

Posted on October 29, 2016 by Kaldath | Comments Off

Before I had gotten sick I had started a series I had planned to keep going at least for a year where I would get a mystery package full of Japanese Candy and snacks once a month and would taste test them for you on video. Well My diabetes getting completely out of control and landing me in the hospital ended that series real quick. Well today on the youtube channel linked to one of the services I use to study Japanese there was a video about Japanese halloween themed candies. Now I can not taste test this stuff for you, but that doesn't mean I can't link you too another video that does, and I have always found Risa ( the host of this video) to be funny and entertaining, so here you go ......................

Now that the video is over, I do have a question for you all. What candy ( Currently or in the past ) is your favorite October/Halloween favorite ? Mine has always been candy corn, I love the stuff though with my diabetes I fear I will not be able to partake of it anymore.

What Were They Thinking: “Mental Ageing”

Posted on October 28, 2016 by JR19759 | Comments Off

So, here on What Were They thinking, the series where we look at the stupidest most ill-advised things to ever appear in the comic book medium, we've covered a lot of dodgy and potentially offensive subjects. Teen pregnancy, incest, child abuse, but we haven't had paedophilia yet. Well don't worry everyone, Green Lantern has you covered (and I am going to hell for this one).

Poll Position: Greatest Alien Race In Fiction

Posted on October 28, 2016 by JR19759 | Comments Off

Ok, this week on poll position we're going to try and answer a question of truly cosmic proportions. Which alien race is the greatest in all of fiction. And when we are talking fiction I mean, all of it. The candidates can come from visual media (so TV (both live action and animation) and Film), Audio (radio shows such as A Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy or War Of The Worlds), Print (so Books or Comics) even Video Games. Obviously we are only talking about fictional aliens, so Scientologists are not applicable and neither is Herr D because we're looking at entire races rather than individuals. As per usual, I've given you 10 to start with and you can add your own suggestions. Please make sure you include the franchise that the species you nominate originate from in your suggestion and please, please only one suggestion at a time.

Proving that it isn't just the writing of their comics that suffers from people not thinking, but the titles as well.

The List: Top 10 Greatest Live Action Superhero TV Shows Of All Time

Posted on October 25, 2016 by JR19759 | Comments Off

You lot were very indecisive on this weeks poll. No less than 75% of the field shared the exact same number of votes as another entry and there were at least 2 3 way ties. Fortunately, the top 4 weren't tied in any way so that does make my job a little easier.

Honourable Mentions: The 1990 Flash series, Luke Cage (which is pretty good numbers for a show that's only just been released) and Gotham
