Not essential, but still good.By MJP2I originally read the "Cursed Earth" series in JUDGE DREDD: THE COMPLETE CASE FILES Vol. 2. I noticed then that some of the chapters were missing. I assumed that perhaps English comics had lower thresholds when it came to nudity and sex, so maybe the more racier chapters were clipped for the American market. So when I heard that there was an "uncensored" version of "Cursed Earth" coming out, I was curious to see what I'd missed.Well, it turns out I was totally mistaken about why the chapters were pulled. It turns out the chapters were guilty of offending *corporate* sensibilities, not prudish sensibilities. The missing chapters contain references to and trademarked characters of burger chains and all sorts of household product brands, and these chapters drew the ire of the corporations who owned the trademarks. Apparently bygones are bygones now, so the offending chapters can finally be published.

    Reality Warper "Martha, does our Hero Insurance cover Reality Warping?" "Today's seminar is about a subject near and dear to my heart: Reality Benders. Type Greens. Mary Sues. Bixbies, Shapers,Wizards, Gods, Devils, Outside Observers, call them what you will, these are the guys that change reality based on perception and willpower." — Transcript of Dr. Clef's Seminar, "Reality Benders and You: How To Survive When The Universe Doesn't ", SCP Foundation Ever heard of the Superpower Lottery? Well, kid, you just won the grand prize. You can create, change, or destroy things or even alter reality just by thinking about it. The key issue here is how far they can take this. A character with a mild form of this power (which isn't seen very often) may be able to will a new subatomic particle into existence. A ridiculously overpowered character may be able to hiccup and accidentally tear the very fabric of the space-time continuum asunder. High-end Reality Warpers tend to also be Reality Makers. For the really high end ones, see The Omnipotent. Needless to say, running into characters with such powers can be incredibly chancy. Arguing with the more powerful ones may well be futile, especially since they can literally, in the words of Paul from The Dungeonmaster (or Adam Savage), reject your reality and substitute their own. Since absolute power corrupts absolutely, a character with this high a level of power is quite likely to go bad. They might even deem themselves to be gods. Especially for the higher-end ones, it's hard to dispute this assessment.

Speaking of Sonic games, BOY have there been a lot of them. With over 70 Sonic titles making their way into the wild, the spikey-haired speedster has starred in everything from spin-offs, to ports, fan-made ROMs, collaborative games, classic compilations and even obscure arcade-made titles. Right now, Sonic seems to have gotten his breath back for another mini burst of success, with the hope of being able to run the distance this time — not just the speed. The first Sonic game launched inand it was a success right off the blocks. A few different animal designs were drawn up, but as The History of Sonic the Hedgehog game engine was tweaked, the focus shifted towards animals who were fast. Kangaroos and The History of Sonic the Hedgehog were rejected, with the first big idea a rabbit who could grab items with its ears. Taking on the House Of Mouse The History of Sonic the Hedgehog a lofty ambition, but Sonic got as far as anybody could reasonably expect. The inspirations for Sonic go even further though. The reason? In complete and utter seriousness, the reason was Santa Claus. Ohshima thought The History of Sonic the Hedgehog was the most famous character in the world, so to him, jolly old Saint Nick was the natural choice.
