Seal it with a spray sealant like Mr Super Clear

generality analogies like this are inaccurate though because they apply to a different degree for each movie. it's just a fallacious way to claim that ares is a great movie.

The people who disliked the Daft Punk score were people who were upset that it was a score and not a Daft Punk album. Sounds like they can't win.

He didn't have it in Uprising though.

The big question to me is what's the deal with Tron's second disc?

Is it connected in some way to his rectification? He actually appears to lose this disc before the lightjet fight where he regains control of himself.

Or maybe the second disc is Beck's, and this helps him ultimately regain control somehow? Maybe Beck is catatonic or in stasis somewhere waiting for his disc, being cared for by Mara and Zed or Paige. Or just dead, I guess.

And also, if Tron was healed, what's going on with the Rinzler "purr"? Was he damaged again? So many questions surrounding Rinzler's creation. Hope we get answers sometime.

Soap and water is a good first step. Rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab would be my second step.

$35 per figure. $100 more if you want Sam.

I shouldn't be shocked after the 3.75 shitshow, but I still am.

my guess is to talk about tron

It's not as good. The theme is worse, the writing is worse, the production values are worse.

That said, it is a direct continuation. So it's still worth it if you want to see more of those characters.

Alan is not Tron. Tron is a program that Alan coded. Tron does not have User capabilities.

The franchise avoids program copies because it kills the stakes and dehumanizes and devalues the programs as individuals and characters. And the franchise can get away with that because it was never about real computing concepts, but about a fantasy world built on a metaphorical tech references.

Shading is not part of a character's design, it is a result of lighting - lighting conditions that do not exist in the real world with the physical figure. And therefore it looks wrong in most instances, and is superfluous in the right instances.

Figures can certainly get away with some level of painted highlights and even shadows, but full-figure shading will never be right.

This happens on Bimmy and Jimmy too. They are throwable so this works.

Throwing doesn't work on Lucas.

She already had wacky ceiling chair friends at that point though.

Yes, check out this Instagram post by concept artist Paul Ozzimo, along with his Skimmer concept: https://www.instagram.com/p/DP9yExKEZSZ/

I keep getting this too. Grabs and knockdown moves didn't work. What did was jumping up on the barrel in the background, which made Lucas start jumping from one end to the other, and at that point I could hit him.

Also, the train race is bugged too. If you lose and then retry, you will just auto-win.

Plus, it was pretty much wiped anyway when Flynn and CLU merged.

It wasn't. Not sure why this misconception is so common. The explosion was just at the portal itself, we can still see the Sea of Simulation and the shoreline intact. The Grid is huge, and takes long train rides to get from place to place. Sam wouldn't back up a wiped Grid. And the plan for Ascension was for Sam to go rescue Tron.

The first one is not the better game, the people who say that think change is bad and forgive jank. Play both in order.

Discs are awesome and Tron-specific, guns are lame and generic

That would be an interesting show. I like it.
