I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

Quick, to the ManCave!
Not that it wasn't entertaining, but it felt rushed and while they expanded on the original mythos, it felt too disjointed.
It seemed like there were too many forced and childish jokes and far too many leaps in logic. Oh look, she can suddenly talk to mice because, you know, they took a nap together. It's surprising to the people that in 10,000 years technology might have advanced? You have to be psychically connected to the lions in order to pilot them? Wait, the lions have personalities? They're not just machines? Ten thousand years have passed on this world and no one has cone to colonize it?
I don't know. It just seemed too far fetched.
Made me really miss Robotech.
