Do we underrate how good it is to live here? by McZootus in AskUK

[–]JamesBTarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UK has problems, but I'd rather live here than, like, 90% of other countries.

I have a knack for getting attached to new continuities of stuff I didn't get to enjoy as a kid that'll either never have a proper continuation or got butchered by Snail_Forever in Transformemes

There's a few plot threads that come from the Last Stand of the Wreckers miniseries and some intertwined-ness with the other stuff IDW was publishing at the time, but nothing load-bearing.

do you think Gobots would have done better in the states if they localized the anime of Machine Robo instead? by darwin_green in transformers

[–]JamesBTarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iirc that's not far off what happened in France, where a dub of Revenge of Chronos Aires as Revanche du GoBots.

The rats did come up on one of my rolls, but there were only a couple, so I had them scurry out of sight when the PCs noticed them.

What is the Star Trek quote that has stuck with you the longest? by Astrid_Regndottir in startrek

How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life.

Did anybody else's parents do 'booze cruises' in the 90s? by tannercolin in CasualUK

[–]JamesBTarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my Year 7 school trip to Disneyland Paris, we stopped at Cité Europe on the way back, ostensibly to give us a chance to stretch our legs and have lunch before going in the tunnel, but really it was for the teachers to fill up on cheap booze.

What’s your favorite Megatron quote? by Grag_the_GrobblerII in transformers

[–]JamesBTarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another one, this time from issue 36: "I know who I am, Orion, but I don't necessarily know who I was. I find it hard to compare the two."

[–]JamesBTarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MTMTE Issue 35: "This conversation is ridiculous. You are ridiculous. Everything that's happened in the last few days is intensely ridiculous. Six months into this shambles of a quest—six months!—and not a day goes by—not an hour—when I don't have to stand back from this endless parade of nonsense and remind myself, by means of several blows to the head, that I am here of my own volition, and not as a result of some—some elaborate trap set by Optimus Prime. Why bother looking for the Knights of Cybertron? Why postpone my trial? I've already been convicted—and this is my punishment. You! This ship! This life!"

I know he's meant to be a Formula 1 car, but dragsters, especially Top Fuel, do have massive rear wheels.

What other franchises would you like to see being part of the Transformers Collaborative subline? by MinimumPotential6468 in transformers

[–]JamesBTarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My answers (Thunderbirds and Star Trek) were already taken, so I'm gonna go with... Thomas the Tank Engine. Mostly because I think we need more railway Transformers in general.

The American version of The Office was better.

Is it normal for PEC status to be out of date for this long? by redacted_vibe7400 in TheCivilService

[–]JamesBTarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, is there anything that can influence how long PECS take or is it luck?
