SKFFA Update - May 2016 and Some Fangirling

[kristensk]

So, thanks to MoDaD from the SWAT Kats Encyclopedia, the SK Fanfic Archive is back up and running and even updated! MoDaD, you are seriously awesome. Again, thank you so much.

And, in other happy news, there's a remake of my childhood favorite "Voltron" coming to Netflix in June, and it looks amazing. Seriously, this trailer has me really excited. The character designs are nicely updated but recognizable, Voltron looks great, and the snappy dialogue is fun. It helps that, when I last saw "Voltron" as an adult, I found the original dialogue more than a little painful, so an update there is most welcome. I'm really looking forward to this!

...Although, am I the only one who thinks Pidge says he's been, "scanning the system and picking up alien Radio Shack"?

Oh, so that's what happened to all the Radio Shack stores. They left the solar system...

We actually still have our local Radio Shack. Whether it's secretly an alien one or not, I don't know ;) My question is: do the alien Radio Shacks still have the section full of electronic parts? And, if so, can you build a ray gun from them?

There might possibly still be a Radio Shack in the mall, but their numbers have dwindled here for years and years, until they're almost as much a relic as the extinct Blockbuster Video. The Radio Shack we did have near us shut down last year. Rather unfortunate, as those stores were good on rare occasions for finding specific odd things, like various types of adapter cables.

That's primarily what I've used ours for as well. Though it's been a few years, and the last time I was in there, they had devoted most of their space to cellphones and their accessories.
