She wasn't for the original 1980's run, but when "What's New" was revived in Duelist during the 1990's the two were already wed and she was part of the team. I'm suddenly reminded that Phil also did the "Myth Adventures" graphic novel. Man I wish they had done more of Aspirin's books in comic form, they translated mediums well I always felt.
Girl Genius is wonderful! It's not really the type of comic I normally read, but I've been a huge fan of Phil and Kaja since they were doing "What's New with Phil and Dixie" in the pages of Dragon.
So glad someone mentioned LFN. I know it borders on sci-fi and that may have had something to do with its omission, but it certainly had enough high-tech elements to give it a nod. While the ending was such a bummer I was glad we at least got an ending. Man I loved that show.
I wanted to do the Cracker Jack thing so bad, that was how Peter Parker proposed to Mary Jane way back when, but my wife doesn't like 'em. Oh well.
Randy Milholland of Something Positive actually did d20 stats for the Krampus back in 2004.

I've noticed a lot of comments from people who have just learned about the Krampus from Scott Kurtz's PvP comic. I must say I am appalled at the very notion that my fellow nerds are learning about Krampus from a webcomic in 2011. You should have learned about it like I did, from a webcomic in 2004.

If anyone wants to try Dark Tower there is a pretty faithful Flash adaptation found here:

It has to be, that is immediately what I thought when I saw it. I haven't even finished going through the gallery, just came down to the comments to see if anyone else got the reference. Awesome.
Cthulhu is already part of D&D. His stats were presented in the first printing of Dieties and Demigods. This was not done with permission, so subsequent printings removed it.
I still have my old vhs (despite no longer owning a vcr) but I do believe that a dvd release of the series happened a couple years ago. What I'd love to see get the dvd treatment is The Head.
edit: Yep, both The Maxx and The Head were released on dvd in Dec. 2009. Well here goes $30 very well spent.

Hah, my friend that was DMing for me ran a Raistlin clone for his first pc. As for why Drizzt is so often cloned, I'd have to say it goes to timing and sheer volume. Pretty sure that Drizzt debuted in '88, at that time there were not a great deal of popular solo characters. Sure the Heroes of the Lance were awesome, but they were all part of a larger group. Admittedly so was Drizzt when he was first introduced, but even among his companions he was an outcast, a loner. I think that sort of appeals to many gamers, especially when you consider that most new roleplayers get into it during their teenage years.
I still love Drow and often enjoy using them in my campaigns, but as they were intended: as the evil, uncaring, soul-less bastards they should be.

It's a backlash. In the late 80's when he was introduced he was all the rage because he was well-written and new. Drow were so mysterious at the time and Bob's take on Drizzt was exciting. But in the ensuing decades Drizzt has over-saturated the market. The 90's Forgotten Realms scene was dominated by drow. Too many DM's saw Drizzt clones popping up in their campaigns and frustration set in.
I still love the books and get excited when there's a new one. But I know why the hate exists, and I understand why many old grognards can't stand Mr. Do'Urden. Too much of a good thing I guess.

My first character was a Drizzt clone. However, I blame my DM (and he agrees) since he informed me that Drow were the bee's knees, and that most males fought with a two-sword style. He had only been playing a short while and obviously just read part of the Icewind Dale trilogy.
Didn't stop me from loving and playing the hell outta that character though.

Hey, another Broski! I think its pretty obvious where we both got our names from eh?
Amen! Although "Sword" does look pretty fun, I'm okay with not having it b/c I truly do enjoy my Win7 a great deal. Can't wait for Mango, less than two weeks away now...
That seriously made my day.
Funny, the first thing I thought of was this: [io9.com]
Towards the end of the "Critical Films Studies" episode (season 2, ep. 19), when Abed is apologizing to Jeff, he mentions a few sci-fi characters that he relates to. Johnny 5, Mork, Hal, Kit, and Data are the characters he lists. I could see Danny Pudi using some of Brent's mannerisms or at least using the Data character as inspiration.
These are the guys that did the theme song for the "Welcome to Eltingville" pilot. They're cool beans in my book.
Thanks for the heads up on the Calorie Tracker app. Just downloaded and started using right away. I would second the appeal for a little more WP7 coverage. I get that we're the red-headed stepchild of the smartphone market right now, but I love this phone and don't see myself switching to another mobile OS.
