Don't forget the two pirates who were guarding Brock before... Brock provided a name for the show's fight song. Even if they weren't dead by the time he left the boat, they certainly were when he set it on fire.


Have we seen Dean do any superscience apart from fixing HELPER and doing shrinky-dinks?

those same two pirates were at the opening of the Jonas Venture Jr. Museum of Jonas Venture

For lack of anything else to talk about, I'll mention I played a simple indie game recently called The Magic Circle, who featured one James Urbaniak as the main voice actor. The plot of the game is you are a QA tester struggling to help get a video game shipped (mostly be breaking the game in creative ways that make it barely work). Urbaniak plays the game's head designer, a former Big Name in the industry who, after eighteen years of trying to ship the game (and blowing all the money from four different kickstarters in the process) is completely burned out and half-assing it.

A real stretch for him, I know.

I don't know, and what I want to know is, how is it he didn't enroll at Greendale? Seems like a more appropriate college choice.

Wow, this is a pretty good game so far. I mean right from the start you get a Doc "Well I have the butter dish!" vibe when the designer is playing around with the models.

I've been told that city college and community college are about the same thing. So I'm expecting something close to Greendale.

I'm pretty sure in this case they mean the actual City College of New York. Kind of odd considering the last school on the show was just "State". For some reason they didn't want to name the geographic location even though it's clearly California or Arizona.

The Venture compound was in Colorado Springs. Although that geography never made sense.

I always assumed Jonas Sr. build his compound in Colorado Spring because the US Air Force is headquartered there (so flying supersonic jets around there doesn't raise any eyebrows) and because nearby Cheyenne Mountain is where the military has NORAD and the giant nuclear bunker built into a mountain. In case poo poo ever got really hectic on a global warfare scale, Jonas knew his family would be first in line to get into the best nuclear bunker in the world.

Oh you see dear old Dad decided to build a wormhole to the oceans but the drat thing never worked right. Killed one of the workers when they tried to test it.

When the boys were old enough to walk I had Brock get some heavy metal shielding in place just in case.

What fact?

If you mean that the location is in Colorado, it's only outright stated in a newspaper image from the pilot, I believe. However, there are small clues here and there that more-or-less place the Venture Compound out west but nowhere near the coast. There is desert in the area, mountains all around, and HELPeR can be seen going down US Highway 285 in Venture Libre. True, those aren't all that specific, but Colorado fits, and with the image from the pilot taken into consideration, I think it's safe to assume it's canon.

State University is where Reed Richards, Ben Grimm and Dr Doom went to school.

Always figured the Venture Compound was in in the North East as NYC seemed really close to get to all the time.

There's desert around the Compound.

Also if it wasn't in Colorado, how else would they have crash landed in Flint Unterland?

... all I know about Unterland is that it's the size of Delaware and it borders Michigan. Presumably, not Canada, but I can't imagine it being an enclave of the US, not even in the Ventureverse.

So, it's a volcanic hellscape bordering a state that is literally surrounded by great lakes. I need a map that this makes sense on!
