For the curious, I zoomed in on the plate on the table and that is not a plate of fried or sunny-side-up eggs, they are cookies with little pumpkins frosted onto them!

Ghost Rider vs Galactus is interesting, I like the idea of an eldritch battle between supernatural horror and cosmic horror.

The Rocket Racoon & Doctor Doom will probably be a good time with what sounds like super geniuses in an Odd Couple setup.

My only confusion is the Spider-Man vs Doc Ock issue. No matter what way I look at it, Spider-Man fighting one of his most iconic villains doesn't feel like it fits in this series about unlikely duos.

The ancient legendary YT meme that Anon has as his profile pic is Leek Spin by Xyliex, created 18 years ago! I think it also popularized the Levan Polka as a meme song staple long before it's revival with Bilal the street drummer/cat vibing video.

And luckily it's already on archive.org so we've got one down!

My best guess is the Tales to Tremble By scary story collections:

Each story had some creepy art by Gordon Laite:

A lot of this fits with your descriptions from the best of my recollection.

Edit: Removed paragraph about potential third scary story series containing spider egg story, just realized that one was from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 3, so Tales to Tremble By and its sequel is my only guess here.

If smoking increases the chances of lung cancer, would doing these regularly increase the chances of colon cancer?

Thanks for bringing the comic to my attention in the first place! I agree that the concept sounds so wild that I have to have it. That bat-family-detective inspired itch got me scratching until I dug into the credits. I vaguely remembered a buddy had a Batman Noir edition of something but didn't confirm until today that I didn't imagine it and it was the Noir edition of The Dark Knight Returns (which I guess is right at home for Frank Miller).

The TDKR Noir was pretty cool too! I think color does a lot to sell the scope of the world, stories, uniforms, etc., but seeing just the pencils and ink makes the art really stand out in a different way.

They're the same comic but the noir one is black and white with no color. Lovern Kindzierski, the colorist, is only listed for the regular special issue, with no colorist in the credits for the noir version.

Ah fond memories of crouching in the suit with the pip light on.

I think the most memorable is probably The Wolf of Wall Street but it was nowhere near as awkward as it could have been. My sister and her husband wanted to see a movie with the family in theaters. Luckily the uproarious constant laughter from the packed theater was far more manageable than the awkward silence that would have happened with an at-home watch.

What really got me was that a whole group of my friends had planned on seeing it the week before, but one very difficult guy insisted that he would not go see a "boring movie about financial crime" and made such a huge fuss that we finally agreed to see American Hustle instead, which was a very tame movie "about financial crime" funny enough.

After, that guy said he was bored for the entire movie (despite the fact that American Hustle was actually pretty good). If it wasn't for the fact that The Wolf of Wall Street is exactly the kind of movie you want to see with your friends and not your parents, and that American Hustle would have been a perfect movie to see with the family, I'm not sure it would stick out in my mind so much.

Bartholomew Kuma's incredible powers from eating the paw paw fruit and his ability to sneak into a lot of situations in One Piece is adding up!

Cassidy is arguably one of the best companions you can travel with in Fallout 2 for combat, especially if you give him a Gauss rifle. The hardened wasteland veteran that got old and settled down as a bartender in Vault City unless you go there and ask him to join you. The con is his prejudice against Lenny the ghoul, another companion you can travel with, and will insult Lenny if you travel with both at once. The pro is he also hates Myron, the sadistic drug supplier/slaver/sex predator, and Cass will endlessly insult him if you end up recruiting Myron to travel with both of you.

Rolsex sounds like a tired DM telling a player to "roll for sex" during some kind of porn version of Dungeons and Dragons.

Just the fact that she's John Cassidy's (from Fallout 2) daughter won me over, but beyond that Rose of Sharon "Cass" Cassidy is a fun companion with great voice acting and dialogue that I repeat still to this day,

One of my favorite game publishers, this is wild (and not the Outer kind of wild). I'm super curious if the entire staff will start their own publishing company (which I imagine is harder to do without the financial backing of a billionaire's daughter) or if they'll split off and go their separate ways.

I'm also very curious if this will start changing the kinds of games Annapurna publishes or if they'll still take interest in odd and niche games that need a publisher. I wish I knew more about the dispute here but time will tell what happens next at some point.

Fantastic work here, hopefully this catches the attention from admins.

Mobius is pretty fascinating and Klein is hilarious! They all have their own quirky charm that makes them all fun to interact with, though I'm partial to Dr. 0 simply because it's the same guy that voiced Dr. Venture on The Venture Bros. and the Wild Wasteland trait has him reference the "giant walking eye" as a nod to the show.

Whose your favorite out of all the doctors at the Big MT?

No announcement or confirmation from Night School Studio regarding GOG, Steam, the Playstation Store, or the Nintendo eShop as of yet. My guess is they would give a decent warning announcement if it were to leave those outlets as well, but regardless I did download my copy from GOG to my backup drive just in case.
