The Ultimates v2
Aug 22nd
I was just speaking about The Ultimates yesterday and then the final issue of the second series ends up in my lap. Its been so long I had forgotten I was even waiting for it. I read the previous issue all the way back in October of 2006!
Still, Millar and Hitch make better progress than I do with my graphic novel project. Although I think my original concept of a zombie western may have gone stale. Marvel Zombies has taken the zombie genre to another plateau. And nobody really buys Westerns anyway. Time to crank the wheel on the ol’ idea factory again.
EDIT: That issue actually came out in May. Slipped through the radar with Europe and all I guess.
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
Aug 21st
Finished. But only on the PSP. My laptop copy remains woefully neglected.
I’ve unlocked every character (and the PSP holds some nice heroes missing in other ports) except for the Silver Surfer. One of the Comic Disc pick-ups eluded me on Act II. One! And you need to complete all the comic missions to get him. So I’m in the process of going back for it. As well as obsessively unlocking all the outfits.

Pending Callbacks

Speaking of .Net 2.0 callbacks. I’ve been using them for a while now. Since before Atlas was released as ASP.Net AJAX. Hence the decision to begin using the former. Bertrand Le Roy’s blog was extremely helpful.
However, on the odd occasion one would see the following javascript error.
__pendingCallbacks[...].async is null or not an object
