Thinking of other things other than other ladies 3


Hey, guys. I'm back with yet another comic about my OCs in a lawyer-friendly version of the "Thinking about other women" meme.

Hebereke is a penguin, and therefore, Sunsoft would have paid his salaries in sardines and anchovies because penguins eat sardines and anchovies.

While Tectoy was known for being Brazil's distributor of Sega consoles such as the Sega Master System and the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, what we do not know is that Tectoy was also the distributor of a forgotten console called the Zeebo. Unfortunately, the Zeebo was not a commercial success due to a limited game library, with all of them being digital-only. Of course the Zeebo failed to overtake the Sega Master System and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in Brazil.

Wollongong is definitely overlooked as far as Australian tourism is concerned. It's just 80 kilometers south of Sydney, and yet more people prefer the well known parts of Australia.

I'm very sure the Invention Skill started an arms race in RuneScape. Since its release, many players aimed for 200 million experience points in the Invention Skill.

Given that zombies are a recurring enemy in the Castlevania series, the Belmont family would definitely dislike the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies.

I'm very sure Crazy Dave from Plants Vs Zombies would end up doing well as a shopkeeper in RuneScape.

Warships Named After Canberra


Fun Fact: USS Canberra was named in honor of HMAS Canberra, a cruiser that was sunk by the Japanese during the Battle of Guadalcanal. Also, HMAS Canberra (L02) participated in the commissioning of USS Canberra (LCS-30).

Bondi Beach Swimwear


If there was one beach synonymous with summer in Australia, it has to be Bondi Beach. However, Bondi Beach isn't the only beach in Australia. There are many more other beaches in Australia, with the beaches in Gold Coast being the most notable ones.

No visit to any of Australia's beaches is complete without being dressed in swimwear. The strapless one-piece swimsuits from MapleStory's Cash Shop are a great choice, and so is the two-piece swimsuit worn by Arle in PuyoLympics. These swimsuits are also suitable for the Ice Bucket Challenge as well. That's why swimwear, Australian beaches and the Ice Bucket Challenge go hand in hand.

Too Late for the Cold War


Some Allied military hardware that were conceived during the Cold War entered service after the Cold War ended when Russia threw in the towel after the Soviet Union collapsed. Here are just seven military vehicles of the Allied Nations that entered military service after the Cold War ended in 1991.

If there was anything Britain's Challenger 2, France's Leclerc and Italy's C1 Ariete main battle tanks (MBTs) have in common, it's being conceived during the Cold War only to enter service with their respective countries after the Cold War ended.

The Seawolf-class submarines of the United States Navy (USN) were conceived with the possibility of a Russo-American War in mind. However, problems during construction meant the commissioning of the first ship of the class was delayed until 1997. By then, Russia had already admitted defeat.

The first keel for Canada's Halifax-class frigates was laid down in 1987, but HMCS Halifax, the first ship in the class, was not commissioned until 1992, meaning the Halifax-class frigates arrived too late for the Cold War, which ended at the end of 1991.

Australia's Collins-class submarines were the result of proposals to replace the Oberon-class submarines in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) in 1978. Like the American Seawolf-class submarines, the Collins-class submarines encountered construction problems as well. By the time HMAS Collins was commissioned, the Cold War was long over.

Taiwan's F-CK-1 Ching-kuo fighter jets had China as an opponent in mind when it had its first flight in 1989. When it entered service in 1992, the Cold War was already over by then, and China acknowledged that the Soviet Union had already collapsed, so technically, the F-CK-1 Ching-kuo fighter jets entered service after Russia threw in the towel.

Now with Russia, China and all their other battle buddies itching to go to war (Russia has already invaded Ukraine), these vehicles that arrived too late for the Cold War may just see real combat action (Challenger 2 tanks have fought in Iraq and are battling enemies in the war in Ukraine, while Leclerc tanks in UAE service have intervened in Yemen). Not to mention that all of these vehicles appear in the Daisenryaku series of military strategy video games.

Regulatory Imperialism


Nobody wants to hear this, but the real truth about the growing Internet censorship, be it the copyright takedowns or the European Union, Brazil and Australia calling for the censorship of X (formerly Twitter), is that Germany has imposed its will on the World Wide Web through mundane, boring legislation. It's called regulatory imperialism, and the European Union is weaponizing it. This is even more dangerous than the last time Germany plunged the world into a global conflict because the corrupt bureaucrats, their pawns and their allies will be screaming for your imprisonment for saying bad things about them online or just trying to defend free speech, Fair Use and freedom of creativity. It gets even worse when you learn that countries that are not part of the European Union such as Brazil, Japan, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, have signed regulation treaties with the European Union, meaning the only way to do business with the European Union is to obey their regulations. This includes copyright regulations, which can explain all the copyright takedowns, whether they are unlawful or not.

In conclusion, we are indeed living in the twilight days of Internet freedom, and its all the fault of an undemocratic institution that cheated and lied to millions of Europeans, including the French and the Germans...

Tekken 8 is launching on 26th of January, 2024. 26th of January is also Australia Day. This means 2024 will have one of the best Australia Day celebrations ever because Australian Tekken fans will be laying their hands on Tekken 8 when it comes out.

Keeping It Civil Down Under


It's a good thing the feud that we call the "Sheep and Cattle Wars" was only confined to the American Wild West. As far as we are concerned, cattle ranchers and sheepherders in Australia and New Zealand have very positive relations between each other because they both help to contribute to Australia's and New Zealand's agricultural exports. Perhaps it's because the disputes between cattle ranchers and sheepherders in Australia were settled in a civic manner years before the Sheep and Cattle Wars began in the American Wild West.
