RIP Infinite. Didn't even get a chance in the comics.
Ian Bumblekast Q&A Q: I know I brought up Sonic Underground before but can we expect an IDW version of Aleena the Hedgehog to appear in the new comics. >Not likely. Sega of Japan does not like acknowledging old spinoff material. Archie was odd in that because of an old contract with Sega a lot of things were allowed to slip in under the radar. IDW is developing a new relationship with Sega is too young to be that liberal yet, if at all. Q: We all know Ian loves to work lyrics from Sonic theme songs into IDW, and I was wondering, if Whisper and Tangle had theme songs what would they sound like? >Tangle's would be obnoxiously upbeat ska, something to have you bouncing off the walls. Whisper's would be close to "Calling To The Night" from MGS. Q: Do you have stuff like game timelines, general lore, and world maps planned out for IDW Sonic? If so for the timeline part, how much does it differ from post-SGW Archie? Are there any games left out? Are any of them in a different order than before? >Ian is approaching IDW Sonic differently from Archie. Less lore and plot heavy, and more adventure-to-adventure. Sega keeps a closer eye now and he has less latitude to make things up. He's tried to hammer out a world map for years but the maps depicted in the games are too inconsistent to make a reliable one. The timeline is more fluid now thanks to the Classic/Modern split. You can consider the modern games happening in order of their release and the events therein not being exactly 1:1. Q: Curious to know which of the Supposed "Mandates" by Sega you actually intend to obey, since you've broken every single one you've mentioned in the past. You'd think SEGA would be pretty pissed at you adding characters to the lore who don't exist, as per their so-called "mandate"? >Mandates are not hard and fast rules. They existed before Ian came on and he's ran into more because he wrote more. Cream and Omega could not be used for a time but then they could. "Sonic can't cry" was a reaction to the way he was being depicted pre-Ian but since then they were able to convince Sega to allow him to express different emotions. Doesn't know what questioner means by "adding characters to the lore who don't exist" mandate. It can also depend on who is doing the approving, with SoA being more lax and SoJ being more attentive and the time period. Everything goes through Sega so anything that is in the book is approved by them. What is approved can change book to book. Q: I was sorry to hear you're not allowed to use TV show characters like Sally and Naugus in the IDW series But I was wondering: Would it be possible for those characters to appear in a different comic that takes place in a separate continuity from the main IDW series? >Ian did not say that, just that Sega is not keen on them being reused. They would be a hard sell but not entirely impossible. For a side comic for old material to exist would require Sega's approval and a sizeable audience to demand and sustain it. Encourages people to get together and petition for it. Q: What are your initial thoughts on Sonic's design for the live-action movie? >*cough* *hack* *cough* ugh, bleh, why, WHY?! Ian wrote an article for the Escapist where he shows his thoughts about it. Concedes that this will likely be some people's first exposure to Sonic and they might like it and it might take off. Liked Detective Pikachu's depiction of Pokemon since they stay more true to the original designs. Going to still see it. Q: If you could would you try and add dinosaurs or any kind of prehistoric animals in Sonic IDW? >Ian has had dinosaur characters in his back pocket since Archie. Hasn't pitched them yet but has ideas for down the line. Has to worry if they would add something to the setting. Q: My question is to know if you and the rest of the team like the idea to make more characters inspired by the ones from the Archie series. Like Starline? >Starline wasn't intentionally made to be a successor of characters like Finitevus and Zachary, just probably inspired by them in that Ian likes suave manipulators with a slight technological edge. Is not planning to do straight up expies of old characters. Starline was more inspired by a game element, which has been altered and revised to the point it's no longer recognizable. He was intended to debut with two other characters which would have made the inspiration more obvious to fans but they were pushed back due to Year 2 plans. Q: Were you satisfied with the lineup of the Eggy Six? (from Sonic Forces) >Liked them in that they were a nod to previous villains, but wished they were used more. Didn't like how Chaos went down in one hit from Classic or that Zavok was the only real boss fight. Thought Metal Sonic being an illusion instead the real one was a neat idea Also yeah, Infinite won't be allowed by SEGA for IDW appearances. F.
>>12043 Eh, I get the feeling this probably has more to do with them wanting to hoard the jackal than them feeling Forces was that badly received (independently of if it actually was or not).
>>12043 I think they had and maybe still have wants for the Zeti to be bigger players. I don't think it's working since I get the feeling most fans either don't care about them or see them as a joke considering their appearance in Lost World was pretty underwhelming. Won't stop Sonic Team or SEGA from trying, though. We should all know how stubborn they can be by now.
>>12047 it's stupid they're not allowed to use Infinite, probably because of Forces' reception, but the games keep shoving Zavok in everything when Lost World was just as poorly received >>12049 I doubt it. Why would they want to do that?

>>12052 Not him, but if SEGA/Sonic Team plan to actually use him in the future for a return, it's possible they don't want him in the comic since it could contradict what they plan to do. I don't think that's what's happening, but it is a possibility. I just hope they let off down the line if they have no plans and at least let the comic do something with him. Letting him sit and do nothing when the comics could easily do stuff with him if SEGA doesn't want to themselves is a waste.

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO! SEE?
I guess this is actually the style they went with for this year. Foxboy is February's character.
>>12062 >That IGN/Mania clip Oof, that hurt to look at. >>12063 Dunno why, but this style kind of reminds me o Sonic Battle's unique artstyle. Pretty neat, imo.

What are you thoughts on Sega's / Sonic Team's decision to add an oc maker to Forces? Do you think it helped Forces sell? Do you think it'll come back?
>>12065 Solid idea, pretty wonky execution. Stigma about OCs aside, there's very clearly an audience for a game where you make your own Sonic character & SEGA was wise to tackle this in a game. However, the CaC feature wasn't used to its full potential, what with it missing some species, not having a body slider & other things. It definitely helped Forces sales, but considering the game it debuted in, I'm not certain if it'll ever return.
My perspective on Amy's role in the series is unironic sincere optimism. She's the physical embodiment of those "live a life without regrets" quotes in various Sonic media. She's the Sonic fan who was never ashamed of it. She's the ideal hero to Sonic's anti-hero. Her name literally means "Beloved." On that note, if she doesn't have a signature gameplay style, lean on her acrobatic ability. Make her the Mario. The entry point for people who have trouble with Sonic, and a symbol of peace between the franchises. Sonic inspired her to become more athletic, and it resulted in better jumps more so than run speed. But she doesn't need Sonic to exist. She'll pursue Eggman because he's being evil. It doesn't need to be complicated.
>>12065 It was alright, though I have no clue for their plans on it in the future. I think it'd have to be executed a lot better in the story and to have more unique gameplay for it to keep being a main feature. If not, it would be a cool idea for party games/modes. Side note: Something that weirded me out is that while there are a lot of animal characters part of the Sonic cast over the years, we've never really seen the general animal anthro population before. It's awkward.

>>12067 Amy is basically the ultimate Sonic fan. Never giving up on him despite whatever faults he might have, always optimistic & constantly loyal to Sonic no matter what. I wonder if she has autism, too
>>12069 she handled his apparent death better than tails did
>>12070 Shame it seems their reactions were dramatically reversed compared to his other fakeout death in SA2.
>>12071 They're used to thinking Sonic's dead, I suppose.

(373.67 KB 656x398 1111038525023.png)

>>12065 I hate the idea. It diverts time and other resources from the important aspects of the game into something that doesn't really add much to it and was included just because it would it would make news and maybe raise some controversy, all while the core features of the game are in shambles. The way it was implemented is very unpleasant to me because of the focus it puts on the OC's (the player's) feelings towards Sonic, which feels completely unnecessary and makes the whole thing feel cheap as hell. About the other questions, yeah, I do feel it helped Forces sell, but I don't know if it'll come back. I guess it depends on the real reasons why they decided to make it and how much they feel it's worth including it in another game (the cost of making it versus some other desirable variables). There was some speculation that they made it to replace Boom Sonic after the whole Boom debacle, so if that's the case then maybe not, though if they feel they could reasonably include it in another game and it would make a difference maybe they would do it again. The opposite also applies, maybe they did intend to make it from the beginning but realized it was more difficult than they thought and may not want to do it again. Or maybe they'll just focus on something else like they usually do and forget about it while pretending it's always on their mind.

>>12081 Sonic cosplayers can be considered Sonic fangirls, right?
Why does Amy like Sonic? What value does she see in him? Why are people so hung up on Amy's hunger for Sonic's jock but never once ask why she ever would be?
>>12086 Do you actually not understand these things, or are you just being a rhetorical smartass?
>>12087 Do you know? This series is so inconsistent, I've given up on being sure of anything.
>>12086 >What value does she see in him? He's a fast dude who saves the world on numerous occasions, has given hope to anyone in need of any, is a friendly chap despite having a bit of an attitude, brings adventure & excitement everywhere he goes, is cute etc. There's a bit of hero worship there but Amy clearly likes Sonic a bit more than just looks & whatnot given games like Unleashed where she made it clear that Sonic is Sonic no matter what he looks like.
>>12088 Amy likes Sonic because she thinks he's really cool, and he saved her a few times. That's the extent of it. That's the only reason that's ever been given. People get hung up on it because, for the majority of the games, that's the only defining character element she has, a single gag that's just repeated over and over. It's why people praise Ian's Amy and Boom's Amy, because liking Sonic isn't the only thing those versions of the character have.

>>12095 Sounds about right
What are some Sega IPs you want back?
>>12097 Crazy Taxi & Jet Set Radio. I know SEGA did some big poll a while back that had those IPs but it would be a tragedy if we don't get a new installment from any of those series' soon. And NIGHTS coming back would be neat.
>>12097 After the craziness that was Defender of the Future, I'm not sure I want to see what else could come out of another Ecco game. They should definitely bring back Vectorman, though.

>>12138 I don't think it stands out too much. It's okay, but so far I don't think I've heard any tune that's made me want to come back to it, which usually happens with Sonic games.

How do you like to play your Sonic games /fast/? Full throttle from the get go, taking it slow and easy to really explore the levels beforehand, or a mix of the two where you progress but find yourself taking routes based on setpieces and items that catch the eye?
>>12151 I'd say a mix, but more like 75% throttle when I first play a level. If I can see something cool or an alternate route, I'll take it, but I won't really slow down much on my first go to learn it. Once I go back and replay levels, I take the time to learn them better.

Extra covers for IDW #14 >>12160 >most beloved Sonic characters Bit of an overexaggeration, but I am interested in this little mini-series, especially if it goes a bit more in-depth about Whisper's trauma & whatnot. I wonder if this does well, will IDW do more mini-series' for other characters?
>>12161 >>12162 Yeah, some interesting wording there, but I suppose they are the most popular of the like 5 IDW characters so far. >I wonder if this does well, will IDW do more mini-series' for other characters? I would assume so. I'm thinking this is essentially a Sonic Universe story without them doing an ongoing Universe-like book. If it does well (or probably even if it doesn't), we'll see mini-series for characters that don't fit in the main book. I don't think there's enough characters and meat to the world to be able to do a full Universe-like book just yet.

That's all I'm hoping for at this point
The Twitter's follower count has pretty much frozen at its current value.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=q5jOMLbyozg >>12153 I recall them wanting to do the same thing for Sonic and the Secret Rings but were denied. >>12182 Wonder what they could possibly salvage from it at this point. The live action/CGI mix should've just been as a short like vid related or the Progressive Insurance commercial rather than an incorporating an actual narrative complete with Jim Carrey Robotnik.
>>12186 I guess they need to meme harder.
>>12186 I have to wonder what Aaron's logic is. Typically a social media account would want to promote its biggest fans. Like, Somecallmejohnny or Cobani or StephenKnux should be showing up. Instead, Aaron promotes Game Grumps, and other people who despise Sonic. If this is supposed to turn the tide and get them to relax and start promoting the brand a little better, it isn't working. It hasn't been working for the last 4 years. And it never will. So why the shit won't Aaron reverse course?
>>12190 It seems clear the objective is to reach as many people as possible, hence him sucking up to the most famous people with the biggest amount of followers. Maybe when that strategy runs dry and doesn't yield any new gain (like now) he'll change to a different approach, but then again it's gonna be pretty difficult to paint the franchise in a good light, specially now with the coming movie.
>>12191 But half of that massive amount of people don't like Sonic and will continue to make it a laughingstock. Whatever social media strategy Aaron has been attempting the last few years, doesn't make sense. I say this as someone who studied this type of shit in college which is why it drives me up the goddamn wall.
>>12190 probably because the higher ups at Sega are all older people in their 40s-50s who don't know how marketing in the current age works so they just let Aaron handle everything because he's young and is/was well liked. The self-deprecation/memes/etc. worked for a long time and he probably doesn't know what else to do at this point. If he started posting things that made the fans look good (outside Mania of course) then he'd lose the attention of people who just want to see the franchise make fun of itself. What do non fans want to see: cool fanart of Sonic that makes the fanbase or a joke about Coldsteel the Hedgehog original the character donut steel lel sanic? If he keeps shilling Game Grumps and posting self-aware memes then he doesn't lose anyone. Actual fans aren't going to leave. They're used to it by now. The only people he can lose are non-fans and casuals and those probably make up the majority of followers on Facebook and Twitter. Just look at the Youtube channel, it doesn't even have 1 million subscribers but the Youtube and Twitter have over 5 million each
>>12193 I meant fanart of Sonic that makes the fanbase look sane

>>12192 >But half of that massive amount of people don't like Sonic and will continue to make it a laughingstock The other half makes a much bigger number than the followers the Sonic accounts had before this, and I'd bet that even previous subscribers are paying much more attention now than when nothing was going on with the accounts. Maybe now that he's the one with followers he can try to start getting to the people that don't currently like Sonic instead of having to go through some eceleb to do it for him, but who knows, at this point I'm pretty much playing devil's advocate, and I'm sick and tired of Sega as a whole trying all the god damn time to please people that don't give a shit about the franchise even when it is at the expense of the franchise itself.

>>12220 Lots of teams do that kinda stuff. Helps get a real feel for the locations to help recreate them.
>>12195 There's also Hedgehog Day (Groundhog's) on the 2nd. Before they really made use of the twitter, they had a blog on the official Sega site that did fun things like reveal concept art of games. Although to my memory it was mostly limited to 4, and we all know how the Project Needlemouse reveal as Sonic 4 turned out. Still, I wish they did something like that every year for Hedgehog's Day as they neglected it in the past few years leading to 2018, in which the blog fell to the wayside and it's almost been a year since they axed the forum altogether. >>12220 They did it for the sake of taking pictures to use as the in-game textures as a way to add further realism and to show off what the Dreamcast was capable of.
>>12221 Yes. Especially if you put something in those chili dogs
>>12225 That's illegal!
>>12222 I know the game is based on those locations and that they used some photos they took as textures like >>12224 said, but I just don't feel either of those things were worth it. Maybe it was a necessary thing to do to help the Dreamcast sell, but I don't feel it ended up benefiting the game.

>>12291 Yup, nothing much going on for now.

>>12387 It's weird because alt outfits have pretty much always been a (Modern) Sonic staple. I wonder who or what's responsible for the disconnect between the franchise's stance on alt outfits and their inclusion in the mainline games. Almost every Sonic game would've benefitted from adding to the main cast's wardrobes, but arguably none more so than Forces, as fashion and customization are the main incentives for playing through well over half of its content. And as an aside, I wonder what happened to Silver's Chinese New Year outfit. It's in the game files, although missing his chest fur, so maybe he'll get his own event later? Puzzling desu.

We need new people that doesn't come from that shithole, it honestly should drop off the planet leaving the users to die off, or something like that. I do what more activity among the fan base, but realize, there are some BAD blood in this fanbase I DON'T want to be a part of this so far, great board, thanks to actually having good mod support to boot. /rant.

>>12414 I think it has less to do with the mainline games doing it and more with the Olympic, Rivals, and Riders games allowing different outfits at all
(43.18 KB 885x484 DxrgG6VU0AAu5td.jpg orig.jpg)

>>12414 I personally think these things being more niche is exactly why. Fans like things they feel were made for them, and so niche Sonic things shape their expectations for the rest of the franchise. Also, modern Sonic fans tend to love the characters, and so new outfits are fun and exciting by default. Other shonen franchises with beloved characters face the same demands, and those tend to feature tons of iconic (or obscure filler episode) costumes as fan service. Even Mario has costumes in Odyssey, so pretty much only Sonic doesn't do this outside of mobage/spinoffs and wallpapers. I hope it'll be discussed more in the future, and naturally I hope we'll be able to vote with our wallets so bad actors can't push their particular autistic narrative as to what the fanbase supposedly really wants. Barring that, I hope we'll at least be able to vote with our time and engagement.
>>12422 This really just goes to show that my personal opinion for SEGA is to make an American brand of Sonic that is the classic era and the Japanese Sonic Team made Modern Sonic into Kingdom Hearts would basically fix the series for the better
>>12421 The first pic looks like Blaze is doing the devil horns
>>12423 >the Japanese Sonic Team made Modern Sonic into Kingdom Hearts W…..what?
>>12425 *make My bad. Basically I think Modern era should be like Kingdom Hearts and Classic era should pander explicitly to Westerners. Shonen for the East, American Sonic for the west.
>>12424 Blaze is secretly a punk girl.
>>12423 >the Japanese Sonic Team made Modern Sonic into Kingdom Hearts I want something similar enough to where I can comfortably share your dream.

>>12429 I think anon means in terms of lore, writing etc.

TSR is full of Adventure era characters so they might buy it because of that. Sega also seems to be hyping it up a fair amount there like they did for Forces. Maybe it'll work out

Idk. I mean, I still wanted America to get said advertisement for the niche SA1/2 fans as well, but just market the Classic era moreso (which I feel is happening too), but basically a more obvious balance of both you know? Maybe we'll just have to see in due time.

Issue 13 previews >>12520
>>12519 Probably >>12521 On one hand, the concept of roboticization coming back may feel like it's retreading too much old ground, but it being used as a liquid virus is an admittedly pretty cool concept. And the more I see of Starline's design, the more I'm beginning to love it, which is a nice.
>>12522 which is a nice plus*
>>12521 I really hope Ian doesn't try and turn Eggman back into a psychopathic killer who tortures people/animals. Archie Eggman was fun, but it eventually got to the "why doesn't Batman kill Joker" problem.
>>12524 Given SEGA's closer eye on the comic I imagine there'll probably be some limits as to how far he can take Eggman's more evil side. That being said, why doesn't Sonic just kill the Eggman?
>>12522 Starline's design is nice and goes well with his personality, and I like both of them. So far I think it's one of the most solid characters in this thing, though of course he's been barely featured so we'll see how it goes in the end.
>>12525 That question is why I don't like when Eggman is as menacing a villain as he is in, say, SA1/SA2. World domination? Sure. Attempted murder of Sonic and co.? Fine. Sticking animals in robots? Why not. Taking hostages? No problem. Torture? Killing helpless individuals who can't fight back? Launching a tactical nuke against a populated city? Destroying the universe to rewrite it in his image? That's all a bit too much. Eggman is best when he's an arch-frenemy, that gives him a more nuanced personality and it lets other villains shine. His portrayal in Sonic X (Japanese) was perfect IMO.
>>12528 I don't mind it too much if executed well, but yeah, I can see why it's not everyone's cup off tea. Mainly because it begs the question of whether or not Eggman actually has a limit when it comes to how far he'd really go & if he's capable of doing literally anything heinous. Now that I think about it, I wonder if SEGA's ever set a guideline as to how far Eggman can really go before it's considered OOC to them.
>>12529 cup of*
>>12525 Spoiler Metal. He already did the answer, he doesn't kill unless there's no choice. Metal had a choice to be free. Same for Eggman "Mr.Tinker"

The covers are the only great thing about IDW.
https://schedule.sxsw.com/2019/events/PP102317 So the announcement was a panel announcement. >Sonic the Hedgehog is back at SXSW! Join special guests from SEGA and Sonic Team as they talk about the latest for the blue blur and his next steps for 2019 and beyond. There’s almost always a special announcement or two to be had, so be sure to stay tuned! SXSW has always been a bit underwhelming for Sonic, so my expectations are low for announcements.
>>12577 Well, okay then. I suppose we'll see something special there, but what could they even show off if not the movie trailer?
>>12578 mania 2 announcement mania adventures full series announcement sonic 3K whitehead port announcement
>>12578 A movie trailer isn't off the table since people working on it were at SEGA offices not long ago. Though knowing the reception to just the teaser, I'd be surprised if they did it. I suppose my expectation would be more reveals of TSR tracks and maybe some TSR DLC. I don't think we'll be getting an actual game announcement, this just doesn't feel like a year where we'll get one.
>>12581 Paramount attempted to salvage TMNT 2014 maybe they will do the same for Sonic.
>>12582 I don't have high hopes. Filming is done and no doubt too much work has been put in to it by this point to make me think we'll see any major changes, if any at all. If it ends up as bad as a lot are expecting, I wonder if SEGA will regret not just pulling out when they realized Sony was going nowhere with it.
>>12583 Filming was done for TMNT as well before they hastily tried to bring Shredder in.

>>12637 >preferably something not too time consuming or heavily reliant on advanced skills So a fangame is out of the question. In that case, what could we do and what's the point anyway?
>>12637 It's a great idea, but the problem is coming up with what. Maybe we could do one of those divided pictures where each one redraws a square. pls make it a simple one if we do this, I can't draw worth a damn.

>>12638 >fangame why do that when you can turn a profit?
>>12640 So we should make our own Sonic? With blackjacks & hookers?
>>12640 That's kind of like asking "Why turn the original concept for RE4 into an original property (DMC)?" If you knew anything about Freedom Planet's development, it was originally cringy fanfiction starring a bunch of OCs. It was so far removed from Sonic that it had no reason not to be original.
>>12641 I don't see why we can't
>>12643 Well we could, but we'd need characters we can use for said game.
>>12644 we can make ocs. or get someone who is good at designing ocs
>>12638 >what's the point anyway? It could be fun and it'd help drive board activity up.
>>12646 Ok but…what do we do? I mean, I would love to make a fangame. Hell, I wrote a pretty autistic document describing my dream Sonic game. But nobody here is going to have the patience for it past the first few months.
>>12645 Yeah, why don't we make /fast/ its own mascot?
>>12647 easy. we make a list of things to be done that people can pick and choose to do >passed the first few months we can set the deadline for something far into the year, like say christmas or sage. no will be rushed or feel stressed about committing to the project. whatever is done at that time will be the result of our futile efforts
>>12645 I mean, I know Bump & Sage have 3D models, but do they have an owner, or no?
>>12651 Sage is property of Tsu. Bump was a collective endeavour afaik
>>12649 Why not?
>>12652 >Tsu Jesus, whatever happened to Tsu?
>>12652 No, someone drew Bump, and that person would own the design and character regardless of what a bunch of Anons suggested.
>>12655 If someone would own the design of Bump, I think it may come down to whoever drew the first picture of her. >>12648 Shit, I just remembered /sth/ used to have their own mascot that's been pretty much abandoned.
>>12647 I don't know, but I think the idea was for something simple that didn't require a lot of time or skills so that everyone could join and embarrass themselves, not for something elaborate and done over time to achieve a particular objective or something. Not saying you couldn't do that too, though, but as you see that's gonna be difficult to get anywhere. >>12648 See >>12649 >>12656 Yeah, Edgehog was it? Don't think I ever saved a picture of the guy.
>>12657 >Edgehog was it? Yeah, Edgehog. I think there's a picture or two of him in the booru.

>>12652 I doubt a claim for the characters would hold in court but I hope there's never any need to go to any court over them. >>12654 No clue, he just banished, then at some point posted this, then banished again as far as I know. I only recently realized this had his signature, lol.

>>12660 Nobody's going to court, Anon. You can't copyright a Sonic OC. Penders is a special case. Even if you could, you really think they could afford court fees on a DA artist's budget?
>>12663 >you really think they could afford court fees on a DA artists's budget? Hey, some lawyers may take the case, you never know
>>12663 These guys did though >>12640 Three of them in fact. Spark probably counts too. >you really think they could No, but it's all hypothetical.

Oh hey we actually filled the thread.

>>12670 Just copy 4/sthg/s.
>>12670 SXSW panel announcement.
>>12673 Alrighty then. I'll also check to see if the pastebins need updating.

This board game apparently comes out this month according to Amazon. Is anyone here going to buy it? It looks fun but complicated
>>12698 Probably not, but those little statues look really nice.
>>12700 The renders are nice but I feel they're going to be made as cheap as possible since they aren't for display.
>>12698 >sega allowed a board game and a toaster to be kickstarted I wonder if they'd allow a video game to be kickstarted
>>12704 It would be awful if they started making video games only if they were funded through kickstarter beforehand.
>>12703 it has expansion packs that cost $25 each that just contain one figure and what look like cardboard pieces so maybe the figures might be quality after all.
Bump
>>12666 >hard Bump Best Bump
So I suppose this thread's gone down enough that I could make a new thread.
>>12709 Sure, go ahead.
