Lurdiak probably reads a lot of Star Wars comics and books, which tend to be lower key. Like, KOTOR should have been the story of Max Rebo's big break into the Tatooine circuit.

Yo if this was a rhythm game that doesn't require dumb plastic instruments, I'd play the poo poo out of it.

The hobby they were based on stopped being cool combined with market saturation? They were video games that made people feel like they weren't playing video games. THPS had music and show-offy combos going for it and GH and Rock Band were "party" games.

There's a new Rock Band coming out this year and rumors of a new Guitar Hero to compete with it, btw which is good, give me all the fake plastic instrument games (as long as I can continue using the stuff I already have)

Keith Giffen is writing a Convergence tie-in featuring Matrix Supergirl from the 90s. He knows his audience. it's nonexistent Convergence: Supergirl Matrix #1

Hahaha, I hope the bad art is intentional or something. Supergirl looks like she has a giant pointy boob. Wait, being intentional might be worse in that case.

At the risk of letting you in on my grunchy side, that is remarkably close to the style of comedy from the Captain Adventure strips Giffen did for Penthouse Comix. (Somebody told me Keith Giffen had done porn and I had to see that.) (wasn't worth it)

Everything that artist does looks almost that bad so it'd be one hell of a long-con if so.

Endless Mike posted:I'm not convinced. I'd believe it if Giffen had done the layouts, but without that, I'm not so sure. They're definitely trying to do a 90's comics parody there. Though I'll admit it's possible they chose an artist who wasn't in on the joke.

If you really wanna No-Prize it, Matrix Supergirl is a shapeshifter and one of the few characters for which the boob-butt pose is enitherughghfgbhdfbhdebdn I can't even fake that.

I hear every background character in the movies had a comic story done on him. It's incredible how much material has been spun out of these movies.

A man who in a short bit of episode 5 was seen carrying an ice cream maker. Because the EU is both the dumbest and the greatest thing, he got a story out of it and it turns out that the ice cream maker was a memory core full of rebellion contacts. This man in a single scene single-handedly saved the rebellion by taking that ice cream maker. The Star Wars EU is an amazing thing.

It's pretty amazing how if you take the SWEU as a whole the entire rebellion would have been irreversibly hosed, forever, if any character who ever appeared in the movies had decided to take a left turn instead of a right at a random hallway or overslept an hour on any given day.

Don't forget how there were apparently half a dozen sets of Death Star plans, each of which was recovered by a different Rebel agent in a different game, novel or comic.

That reminds me of the relatively short-lived period of time where TSR was commissioning novels about every unclaimed second of the Heroes of the Lance's lives, no matter how mundane. There's a short story in one of the Dragonlance anthologies that's written from the point of view of a sentient dagger, which was employed in an otherwise unremarkable fight scene early in the main trilogy.

At this point there are probably lengthy backstories to the background characters in the stories about background characters. Like, the ugnaught that Ice Cream Maker Guy brushed past while making his escape is featured in his own short story, where it's revealed that he's the last ugnaught Jedi. Then the vendor who sells him coffee in his story has his own short story about how he's Chewbacca's dad or something.
