  • Oh right, and print comics! Hawkeye I mean sure other things too but come on Hawkguy
  • Homestuck will be my go-to webcomic until the day it ends. Other things in my RSS feeds worthy of note: Kate or Die! - Kate Leth's comic about her daily life as a comic book store employee. Sometimes also featuring Spiderman and Deadpool being boyfriends. Broodhollow - Kris Straub's horror-themed comic. Some quality spooky…
  • I have! Need to update my Goodreads status though, thanks for the reminder. While flying to and from random non-California states, I got to do some catching up on my reading. My friend Art lent me Cordelia's Honor, which incorporates a few books in the Vorkosigan Saga. I'd never seen this series before, but after reading…
  • It was only your recent resurgence in forum activity that has revived my AIM usage. Beyond that, I use iMessage for most text-based communication, and am generally responsive on Facebook Chat.
  • Ideally I'd want to figure out some way to archive all our past threads and posts, so whichever software we end up choosing should have that feature. Vanilla appears to!
  • I'm intrigued!
  • Having only recently become reacquainted with the nuances of sportsball, I find this dig on ESPN amusing, as their hockey coverage is decidedly lackluster! I can't do a Sharknado-watch this weekend, but VERY SOON.

  • It's on my to-watch list. It's a very long list. But I'll push it up in priority. Because flying sharks.

  • Yeah, we've talked about watching movies together over the Internet before, but were limited by a lack of cross-platform options. G+ Hangouts would seem to offer everything we need to make that finally work for more people. I like the idea of expanding to general comic discussion and including print comics in the mix. I…
  • Ooh, some Let's Play action! I like the conversational tone during gameplay.
  • Yeah, I realize that was a super-general way to ask, but since we don't have a solidified plan yet it's hard to get more specific. I'm feeling really inspired by the structure of sites like SBNation or Geek & Sundry. SBNation is centered around a blog-style posts/comments structure, whereas Geek & Sundry uses Vanilla for…
  • If we do end up officially moving away from webcomics as a unifying theme (which we haven't really adhered to much in recent years anyway), that doesn't necessarily mean we would stop talking about them. General Discussion will always be a safe haven for all topics, no matter what form The Orange Belt takes going forward.…
  • I think pretty much everyone has grown up at this point. That's worth noting if we change our official focus and featured content. I really like the idea of video chats. I could make an Orange Belt YouTube channel and host Google+ Hangouts with anyone interested. We had talked in the past about watching videos together…
  • I will keep hope alive!

  • They said it's coming to YouTube. Plus they forbade the use of recording devices. I opted to not get thrown out for taking shaky cellphone footage.

  • I'm in Virginia this week on my first ever business trip! So that's a cool achievement. I also went to Chicago this weekend and saw Twisted, StarKid's latest musical. I figured I should see them live at least once. You guys are going to love this show once it makes its way to YouTube. Sadly, though I did message Jake…

  • Brew 76 brought us more Stunt Cock, plus new cast member John Travolta!
  • I found your review tough but fair, as all Zelda II reviews should be. Well done!

  • I've played the ROM a little. I still want to play it on a console!

  • And Mother 1.

  • He was actually on the set of Con Air?! I think John can officially die happy now. Also: I miss when Hussie was alive.
  • There were two Beethoven statues?! That's a fantastic cast addition! Which comic was the other one in?
  • Walter showed up in the latest microbrew. He's so prolific!
  • Cool show!

  • I left Apple a month ago, now working in IT desktop support for a software development company. It was a hard decision to make, but I'm now happier than I had been at Apple for a long time. I'd actually worked with a big chunk of my team years ago, so it's been a comfortable transition since I'm basically working with old…

  • Soon they're going to start inventing new Pokémon types specifically for Eeveelutions. Thanks for bringing it back to basics.

  • I finished How I Killed Pluto, currently reading The Name of the Star. I've been following Maureen Johnson (the author) on Twitter for awhile, figured I should actually read her book. Good stuff! I've already preordered the second book in the series.
  • Congratulations, John! Glad to hear the schoolin' is going well.

  • Fewer panels than last time! Maybe we should all try to contextually figure out what happened in the missing panels?
