Boba Fett vs. Predator. Who wins?

Posted on March 6, 2012 by | Comments Off on Boba Fett vs. Predator. Who wins?

Our Versus battle today features two titans of science fiction hunting bad-assery:

Both are killers, both are adept at hunting down prey, both are armed with roughly equal weaponry. Each is self-reliant, so we're talking a clean and simple one-on-one matchup without lots of extraneous hangers-on mucking up the battlefield.

I also like that each one hunts down their targets professionally, full time. This is what they do. Unlike some of our other Versus match-ups, we're not going to get a slugfest with two mighty warriors smashing each other's faces in. Well, probably. No, this is more likely to be a thinking-man's game of strike and counter-strike, trap and elude, ambush and counter-strike. I think it would be tremendously fun to see and I have no idea who would win.

That's why I look forward to your vote and your explanation -- who would win this matchup and why?

Caption Contest 118 Winners

Posted on March 5, 2012 by | Comments Off on Caption Contest 118 Winners

Apologies once again for being so late with the winners of Caption Contest 118, but here they are at last!

  • Dr. Shrinker: That’s fine, now we’ll just sneak you into Ol’ McDonald’s farm!
  • Frankie: “Easy there, boy. You haven’t seen a bear around these parts, have you?”
  • Frankie: “That’s not what I had expected to find out about what bears do in the woods.”
  • McKnight57: The last thing I ate actually sound like this: Moo…moo!
  • Skybandit: Good disguise, Tonto, but you need to work on your accent!
  • Whit: Stan! Kyle! I’ve found me a man-bear-dog!
  • Kaito94: “Lassie? You in there?”
  • Whit: Um, oink, oink? I’m not sure I understand the rules of this game…
  • Jack Frost: “…sit?”

There were a lot of "who let the dogs out" sorts of entries, but I just felt like it was too obvious. I'm weird about my comedy.

I liked all of those Finalists very much, but being only able to pick one, I had to go with ... Frankie!

Congratulations, Frankie!

As you can see, the site was down for a large part of the day due to problems at DreamHost central (the company who hosts the domain). It's up now but with the day job stuff going on, it's going to be fairly late tonight before I get to the contest winners and the new one. My apologies.

HM3: More dblade visor goodness

Posted on March 4, 2012 by | Comments Off on HM3: More dblade visor goodness

You'll probably have to clear your browser cache to see it, but I've added dblade's cool sci-tech visor to the Headgear-Modern set in addition to the ones I put in yesterday:

Thanks again, dblade!

I've got some more dblade items to add, then I'll try to start on drawing contest prizes.
