Understandable. I should have warned everybody about the potential retinal damage that was contained on the page anyway.

Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
t season 7 joke Dammit, why's Caleb never around when you need your eyes gorging out?
More screenshots of the new game are up. There are detailed shots of the characters...Spike and Xander look just awful, Anya looks great, Tara is alright, Willow looks much better than the last game, and Buffy is different than the last one, but still pretty good. Sid the Dummy still creeps me out.
And it says this is to take place in S5, between episodes 17 and 18 and Dawn is "away at camp" for this game...and I think the summary said the First is involved? In cahoots with Ethan Rayne which makes little sense, but hey, I'm just excited for the game.
First is involved? In cahoots with Ethan Rayne
Huh. Did Victor write this game?
;)
AH HA! PROOF! PROOF THAT OUR MAD THEORY WASN' T ALL THAT MAD!!! THEY'RE HIDING THE TRUTH I TELL YOU! THEY'RE HIDING THE TRUUU... BONK!
Hi. This is Victor's ferrets. We apologize once again for the behavior of the hairless monkey. The heat is getting to him, poor thing, and he doesn't have a water bottle of his own hanging by the cage...huh? What's that?...oh. He calls the cage "the desk."
Anyway, we're hiding him under the bed for a bit, as part of the "monkey resocialization process," where we will tickle his feet and deny him raisins until he tells us where the weapons of mass destruction are.
Carry on.
Well Victor, I hope your idea plays out well, although like I said, slamming it in between eps 17 and 18 of S5 without having Glory involved and not having Dawn around seem kind of off to me, but then again, it is a game to be separated from the show itself I suppose.
More info on the game...there is a novel coming out that is based on the progession and plotline behind the game, which I think should help a lot. Victor, all your wishes are coming true!
I'm still kinda salty I can't play as Giles though...I mean, Sid the Dummy over Giles? And I may have pondered this before, but what is Xander going to do? Pun them to death?
Does everyone know about Neil Gaiman's upcoming title for Marvel?
Also, in September, there will be a hard-cover release of Endless Nights, a new set of stories about the Endless, written by Gaiman, with each story drawn by a different artist. A good interview with Neil Gaiman about this project can be found here.
Aargh. Reading that article has served to remind me that McFarlane has managed to get on the bad sides of both Neil Gaiman and Tony Twist, to the point of litigation. How is it that he's not on the receiving end of fan response comparable to what Joss got over Tara's departure?
I'm not a fan of Barry Bonds at all, but my first thought when he broke McGwire's home run record was a gleeful "Guess that $3 million for the 70th home run ball isn't looking like such a smart investment anymore, eh?"
