    The escalator video commentary said the escalator suddenly stopped, causing people to fall over backwards. it was not reversed, it was people pressing everyone off the escalator
    At least 20 people have been injured after an escalator at a Tokyo convention centre jerked to an abrupt halt. The stoppage knocked down dozens of people. The worst of the injuries appears to be a broken leg.

    Only if you place your day position at the end, the more easy to notice without modication is in two days it will be 080808.....

    Yeah, actually. I've put podcast listening on hold so I'll have a nice backlog to catch up to.

    The escalator thing did happen at Big Sight where Comiket takes place but I think it happened during WonderFest (another geeky event). More info here:

    Make sure you create hyperlinks, don't just post the URL.

    Honestly, come on. I am going to hold an internet-wide conference on how to make a link.

    If you guys need fan-made GeekNights stuff to put up next week, why not put WPTR&SAG:TM-SAOEFTHOS up in the Supplemental feed? ;)

    Also, awwww, Dragon Girl! :D

    Please accept my humblest apologies... new to this forum & its software so I incorrectly guessed that a clickable link would be created automatically.
  • ErynEryn
    Don't worry, it's an understandable mistake. We've just had a slew of people not making correct links lately, so a bunch of us have been on edge about it.

    No worries, just so you know, the forum accepts just plain html. So grab a reference sheet and start bashing out hyperlinks! :D

    3 or 4 people per step
    Fuck, that's a lot of people...

    Also, I'm with whichever one of you said that Dragon Girl was more of a light novel than a comic.
    1. no word bubbles
    2. text was next to the artwork, very much akin to MANY children's books I've read in the past.

    edit: Wow, just got done reading Dragon Girl. Honestly, I didn't see that ending coming. I was expecting the same ol' shit from children's stories, the ending of that definitely wasn't. The entire rest of the book was cliche, though.
