Yeah, the good ones always are. My cousin destroyed my Optimus Prime years ago.

Make "Soundwave" into "Shockwave."

I'm about to pop in the Transformers: The Movie DVD and watch it for the first time since 1987, thanks to all the positive reviews. I am giddy. Perhaps I'll finish watching Venture Brothers first.

Still there, Keggers? If not, are my US brethren about?

I'm here once again, Jake. We have to stop meeting like this.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
03:53 / 22.08.05
Yeah, my Optimus got destroyed, too. I still have some sweet Transformers left, though. Besides the Dinobots, I have some Destructicons, Rampage, a Sharkticon, the red and yellow boom box guy and some of the little casette tape dudes. There may be more, but they're in a huge box with my GI Joes, Star Wars toys, Ninja Turtles and He-man guys, and I haven't even looked in there for at least ten years.

Ah, yes. The ritual whimsical basement pillage in search of playthings once forgotten.

I still have all my toys present and accounted for, since, well, I never really grew out of them.

What era "Star Wars" figures are you finding in that there box, pray tell?
 
 
Saint Keggers

Im still here Jake.
Saddly the only Transformers I have left is the set of 5 aircraft that merged into on big bot. I had Omega Supreme, he was SWEEET! But the motor was broken and he was brought back to the store and I had to settle for the 5 planes as they had no more O.S.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout

Oh, they're all original. I know for sure I have the Falcon, Bib Fortuna, Han, Vader (with cape), X-Wing pilot Luke, some ewoks and stormtroopers (speeder bike and original varieties), the shaggy ton-ton, Jabba and the Rancor. I know there are more, but I've no clue what.

What's your position on the Transformers Movie, Bryan? Venture Brothers is over and Baseball Tonight is uninspiring, so it's about to be screened.

Well folks, its time for Ol' Keggers to go to sleep.

Good night!

Bah weep granah weep ninni bong!

I saw that Venture brothers. He was wearing aquaman undies. That was funny. Night all, enjoy the movie Jake.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout

'Night, Keggers, Jack.

S'just me and ol' Optimus, now. And Pabst Blue Ribbon.

This movie kicks ass. I forgot how visceral it can be. Unicron freezes my balls now, just like he did "back in the day." I remember being so shocked by characters I truly cared about being offed left and right. Megatron KILLS Optimus! I'm reliving my youth watching this. I had forgotten how much impact this had on me as a kid. It's surprisingly intense, really.

But, overall, it's fucking BRILLIANT. Astrotrain. Transformers really were the best toys ever, weren't they? Why did I waste money on GI Joe?

You spent money on G.I. Joes instead of robots? I'll rip out your optics!

Which episode of VB was on before?
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
04:52 / 22.08.05
the one where the magician-guy and his purple-haired goth daughter rent a room with the Ventures.

I missed a bit of it.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
04:59 / 22.08.05
Dude. Unicron killed Jazz. And they just said "Oh, shit." Galva(Mega)tron carbonizing Starscream was fucking tight. Where the hell is Shockwave? He's a baaaaaad man (robot).

You've got the touch, you've got the power, yeah!
After all is said and done
You never walk you never run
You're a winner!

Unicron was supurb - the menacing music that plays when he comes is great, and his first meeting with megatron is fantastic.

I, sadly, no longer have any toys - when I was younger we moved around a lot, and I seem to remember my posessions dwindling with each move. I had almost every star wars toy going (most of the playsets as well - mos eisly was my favourite) a lot of transformers (no dinobots, but OP, Soundwave and lots of others, and a shockwave knockoff) a few mask things, and loads of Action Force figures and vehicles.

I was more upsest though about my dad throwing away my comic collection (loads of swamp thing, justic league silver age stuff, flash, green lantern, a few x-men and an almost complete 2000ad run, and battle action force and eagle run from about 1978 onwards, scream and the english transformers).

I'm up early, off to LA for ten days - see you all when I get back.

VB is the schnitzel and Doctor Orpheus is so over the top it's great.

"The seed of your loins is quite astute. I saved your mechanical man from certain damnation, for his frail, electronic eyes had gazed upon the impenetrable. He was an unwilling beholder to the impossible!"

Yeah, I had to look that up. Honest.

See you around, BtB!

"Me Grimlock! Me bash brains!"

I don't think I'm going to be able to resist posting a running commentary here. I've got nobody to watch it with, and nobody reads old lateshift posts anyway, so I'm feeling okay about it.
 
 
Triplets
05:04 / 22.08.05
Follow your heart, Jake. One day the matrix will belong to you [and so on].
 
 
Triplets
05:05 / 22.08.05
Shit, page 9. Jakimus, you have to create a new lateshift!
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
05:05 / 22.08.05
Have fun, Benny! Hi, Triplets!

Dr. Orpheus. That's his name. Venture Brothers is brilliant. I want DVDs.

I thought Optimus and I were alone.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
05:07 / 22.08.05
I did this one, Triplets. It's on you. It feels like bad juju to do two in a row.
