If anyone does know anything about ReideenI'd love to hear it. Hes been MIA for years, his email adresses all bounce and hes not active on any other forum. I be worried.

Fantastic as always Ivan

Right-ho The little one wants these and Im a little out of touch/confused. Whats the best way of getting a decent set of figures (Primarily the 'Busters, Slimer, Stay Puft, Janine and probably the logo ghost?) Just buy everything or is there some cunning combination of boxsets and 2 packs I can do?

(12 Hour delayed figures) MMMV - 5 Installs Ziggy - 19 Installs Weird that more people have downloaded Ziggy than MMMV as it isn't advertised or mentioned anywheres Also gracias to those who bought the utterly pointless donate app, suprisingly Google doesnt take much of a cut.

Its an official app on the market now, no unknown sources magic required!

While not a customiser " I R GOOD WITH THE INTERWEBS" poke me if you want me to try breaking anything

Im still trying to nail down the back button issues.... Will investigate the input lag, is that new since the Market Version? Heh, didn't realise Ziggy was showing already, its a bit lame but it was a quick bit of fun to knock it up.

Now available on the Android Market, simply search for Minimates from the market app or use the below links. Direct Link IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED YOU DELETE THE NON MARKET VERSION IF YOU HAVE IT BEFORE INSTALLING THIS Some other things I've thrown together should be up there soon too!

I've bitten the bullet and got an Android Market account. Stay tuned for new about the first properly published version of the MMMV App! Auto Updating Installed Securely Via the Market Many Bugfixes Compatible with all Android 1.5 and higher devices

Thats handy to know, I've only got access to a pair of ageing LG540s' running a heavily customized CM7 (So Android 2.3), the Android Emulator on PC and some random junky Chinese tablet running Modroid (Android 2.2) and the differences in what works and how between the two is astounding, not quite as annoying as trying to get stuff working right on HTCs with their weird but cool Sense framework. It appears to me that the Official market actually seemlessly distributes different .apk files depending on the downloading client device to get around a lot of these issues, perhaps I will be needing that Android Market license after all rather than hosting a score of .apks here all targetted at different devices and praying the user knows whats what!

That is interesting, I'll look into that, Im a little hampered by the lack of devices to actually test it on so you lot are in part my guinea pigs. I have noticed some differences in "back" behaviour in general on the devices I do have access to, further compounded by my tablet which only has a "soft" back button in the status bar as opposed to an actual button. Cheers for the heads up.

I may try and attend, although it falls at 6pm here so I may be busy eating. Out of curiosity if someone attends via the Android App (or attempts to) I would be interested to know if chat even works via that. (im guessing no)

Within reason its fine, the rules are as flexible as the staff feel like been with them (I feel that comment may bite me at some point), this is a sad story and some members have shared personal experiences related with the story, theres nothing wrong with that. The rule is mainly there to fall back on around religion or the election season when people can get overly zelous and start some pretty severe arguments, sensible interlectual discussion is fine, while this is a toy board we are also a community and as such certain discussion will transpire. We're largely self moderating nowadays anyways as most of us know each other and the wider audience well enough not to push stuff. TLDR: This is fine, if it gets overly political/religious its not.

I beleive Marvel has shifted the continuity of the Childrens Crusade several times due to its delays, the most recent issue of X-Factor has a repowered Rictor with a footnote (shock horror) referrencing Childrens Crusade, I beleive its been said someplace that Shcism, Fear Itself and Childrens Crusade all tie in at their conclusions and there is a reason they all end nowish. I long since gave up on trying to tie Marvel to any form of contunity more specific than "It happened this decade", thats the problem with Decompression and monthly story telling, the events of Childrens Crusade despite taking a year+ to come out could conceivably all have taken place in an afternoon. Where as titles such as the latest NA took place before, during and after Fear Itself

Are there many of you who can't install apps unless its via the Market? Its $25 for an official market license which i might buy if thats the case (Im just tight and don't want to spend $25 for no reason)

Welcome to my world. I've aqquired 8 new minimates in 2 years but I'm still here for the people. Speaking of which aside from my twice yearly Rad pestering we really should get us UKers back together again. Bumblebeebarn invasion?

I'm not normally one for spamming referral links around, or even publicising random tech start ups, however this is really rather cool. Basically its an online file storage site thats 1)Add free 2)Fast 3)Not shit It auto syncs any files between all your devices, I use mine to sync between my phone, android tablet, dekstop and laptop and its lovely. I also use it for making sure the Mrs has all the pictures of the kids in one place. (as you can share auto sync folders with others if you so choose) I totally recommend it, the fact I have friends who work there and that they give me (and you) more space if you sign up via a referral link is an aside to this, even without a vested interest I'd recommend it. So go sign up: http://db.tt/zROQqIA Obviously if you dont have 1001 devices and way to many files its a bit crap and pointless

Aside from custom firmwares this is the only way to do it, I dont think its that worthwhile

Not sure if anyone uses it/cares but its no longer invite only. https://plus.google.com/ You can find me on there if you are so inclinded, im cunningly under Ady Carter or adycarterATgmail.com For anyone who isn't sure G+ is more or less Facebook but with less shitty games and less likelyhood of my Mother

Excellent, Im glad its useful for you. Thanks for installing it too, I half expected everyone to be scared of installing non market apps.

Possibly... the problem with iOS is the lockdowns, while I *could* sort an iOS app you'd either need a Jailbroken phone, or I would need to pay Apple a stupid amount for a developers account. Never say never though!

Ressurection Man = Good, Demon Knights = Good, Frankenstein = Good. I'm liking the "dark" banner of the relaunch, the rest (bar Green Arrow/Hawk and Dove) are good, great even, but the dark stuff is just awesome.

The theory holds sound. The only possible issue with it is the X-Men story post Siege that had the Sentry living in Cyclops' head. I honestly don't think Marvel knew how to handle the Sentry (his power level is so far out of whack with everyone else, and his only similarly powered villain is arguably himself). What didn't help was how he was constantly bouncing around between events which lead to "reveals" about him either been instantly retconned or almost happening out of order (especially with his wife, she was dead, she wasn't, she was a Skrull, then she wasn't, Bullseye killed her, she was then fine again, then she wasnt because Bullseye had killed her). They almost had to keep gimping him and making him insane/scared to use his powers otherwise he could just negate any plot by throwing people into space etc. Considering the weirdness of Cloc at the funeral and the whole "The Sentrys' Watchtower is now off limits to everyone" that Cloc was spouting I get the impression we may get a reappearance of him at some point, hopefully with a scaled down power set and some workable achillies heel, heck I'd be all for the following idea (I dont know if I read this somewhere or just made it up): Work him into the Weapon program as like Weapon 4.5 or something, have him be some kind of attempt at a psychic Weapon (his powers and abilities transpire to have been mainly hallucanegenic and/or crossed with Fantomexs (another Weapons) misdirection) which could also feed into his randomness of making the world forget him and the Void could have been either part of his fractured psyche or seperate entity as part of the weapon project (Much like the Cuckoos are almost a gestalt entity). Alternatively play him off as almost a natural balancing counterpart of Wanda as another Chaos magic user and the two are meant to keep each other in check somehow, the lack of Wanda led to him going a little nuts...

I really enjoyed Animal Man and Swamp Thing, there "Dark" section of the DCnU line up definately seems interesting. The seeming methaphysical link between the two is an interesting take on things and makes perfect sense. Stormwatch was reasonable and seems very much likes its going to be a cornerstone of a future event and oddly has footnote references to thing that have already happened in the Stormwatch timeline but will happen later this month in Superman. Wasn't overly keen on the art in this though. Action Comics was good, very good, probably partly because it was double sized so plenty actually happened, I probably missed some footnote but this also seems to be set in the past as per JL. JLI was fun, Booster and to be fair everyone in it were really well written. Detective Comics, Batwing and Batgirl were all good, Batgirl easily the best of the three. Green Arrow was okay, nothing exciting but a tolerable read.
