Loving it so far. Chemical Zone Robotnik encounter is top-tier hilarity. I had to stop and send a screenshot to a friend to make sure I wasn't dreaming that one.

I was watching that one. Still fun to watch people obviously better than me even if RNG decided the outcome (the Shaman only lasted as long as he did because of Ulti's Sulfuras' target selection, even before the spell at the end).

I haven't seen any Craig movies and already acknowledged I've heard they put a pretty hard kibosh on it (something about the parents' grave), but Lazenby could've been acknowledging his predecessor's stuff and the shared name thing could've been a coincidence.

"No way to make the theory work" my ass. =P You should see some of the magnificent contortions Star Wars writers pulled to make things fit together in the pre-Disney EU.

Then how do both Connery and Lazenby Bond consider Blofeld to be their archnemesis? I remember Lazenby Bond is like "I have a history with Blofeld" that can only be explained by him being Connery Bond as well.

Nah, doesn't have to mean that. Could easily be plenty of missions between movies that we don't see.

There's no way to make the "each Bond is a different person" theory work. Brosnan and Lazenby Bond both have dead wives with the same names, Lazenby Bond looks at memorabilia from Connery Bond's adventures, and Brosnan and Craig Bond both had parents who died in skiing accidents.

There's also the fact that Bond is usually supposed to be the same Bond when they switch actors. The reboot with Casino Royale was not only fine but welcome for multiple reasons, but I really don't want that every time they change actors.

I always liked the theory that every actor change was a new agent assigned the James Bond/007 identity. But I hear one of the Daniel Craig movies put the hard kibosh on that.

I mean the fact that Sean Connery came back after George Lazenby flies in the face of that. Plus that it's hard in the SPECTRE plot for both of them.

Lazenby is the exception I make, just because of the whole Tracy thing (okay, this popped up with Roger Moore visiting her grave too, but that could just be reminding himself of his predecessor's mistake in getting too close to a civilian). I suppose it could work if Lazenby actually got himself killed seeking revenge and Connery was brought back to fill in until they could get a new Bond, with his first assignment being to finish the attempted vengeance Lazenby failed at...

I know it doesn't really work but it's a fun headcanon.

My friend and his g/f named their cat Noah before finding out it was a she.

We have two lady cats with male names. Batman, our son (then three) insisted was a boy and we just rolled with it; Fiyero we were told was a boy by the person who gave her to us and by the time we figured out otherwise we decided to just stick with what we'd been calling her.

Plants vs. Zombies (iOS)

Had this game for years on several platforms but always got bogged down in the roof levels. Then for whatever reason seeing that Brandon Jones on Easy Allies did a full playthrough in a sitting made me want to wrap it up. I may go over and finish the PC version sometime soon just because I know it's not far off either.

Drop C'thun to clear, the board. Opponent has to sacrifice some or all of his mana to deal with it. Drop the reflected C'thun the next turn.

Pretty sure I read somewhere the transformation only lasts until the end of your turn, so you can only double up on five mana or less. Also that you can only have one reflector in hand at a time.
