Another Birthday!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! As I have been hinting at in previous posts, it is this blog's FIRST BIRTHDAY! Yay! Yub nub! Yub nub, eee chop yub nub; Ah toe mee toe pee chee keene; G'noop dock fling oh ah! So, I don't have anything much, but I made a small little poster:

Yes, I am Vader's Sith Master in an alternate reality in which Vader gives people birthday cakes. Oh, and yes, that sadly means that I will be killed by Vader in this reality. Kinda sad. Anyway, it's my blog's birthday. Yay again! Nothing big, but it's been a year, so that's great. My gift to any readers: go here! I didn't make anything on it, but it's a page on the Biomedia Project with LOADS of amazing stuff to look through. Plus, there's a whole section for LEGO, with games, comics, and much more. So, that's that and yeah. Well, that's a wrap on THE BIRTHDAY OF THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Late Birthday Gifts to Myself!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! As I covered in a recent post, it was my birthday on the 23rd of May. Of course, COVID-19 came and then my birthday was a meh birthday. Sadly, during the COVID crisis many of my favourite places aren't doing that well, or have closed. Permanently. This includes my local DVD and games shop, so that's quite sad. Luckily, the DVD and games shop near my local comic shop is still open, so I went there and spent money on entertainment. First, I got Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season One on DVD. I have really been hoping to get this, and I finally did. I was blown away by it, and I am grasping tight to my wad of cash to spend on the next season of MAOS. Next on the list are Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger. These are the last two films that I needed to complete my Phase One collection. I had already seen the Cap film (on an 8 o'clock film slot on TV) but Thor I haven't. Until about 20 minutes ago. So now my MCU Reading Order stats are fully complete for Phase One. Yay! Third are a few LEGO films. I love to collect LEGO-related things, even more than the sets themselves, i.e. comics, books, games and films. This lead me to buy LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League and LEGO Hero Factory: Rise of the Rookies. Both of these are amazing and have just as good DVD extras, the DC one including a look into the character of Bizarro, a TV special and an in-universe blooper reel to go along with the TV special, while the Hero Factory DVD includes a TV special based on LEGO's Atlantis sets. One more DVD left in my Hero Factory collection, three more in my LEGO DC collection. Finally, I also bought the DVD of Cars Toon: Mater's Tall Tales. Like LEGO, I love finding all things World of Cars. I have the DVDs for Cars, Cars 2, Planes, Planes: Fire and Rescue, and now Mater's Tall Tales. I also have recently found the LEGO Grand Prix game online (on a website called "BioMedia Project", which is dedicated to finding all things Bionicle-related. There's also a lot of LEGO stuff on there. I'll do a Fandom Favourites post on it soon.), and am trying to get the Cars comic books. Oh, I mustn't forget the other games. I have the Cars 2 game, Mater's Tall Tales game and the Planes game on PC. However, I hated Cars 3 and I always skip it. So yeah, those are my late birthday presents to myself. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Mention on Jedipedia!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! This morning, I did what I usually do. Check out my email, check for any notifications on the JCF (Jedi Council Forums) and CMRO (Complete Marvel Reading Order), and I saw that I had a reply to Hungarian Han Solo Novels in Translation!, which is one of my threads on the JCF. For a full list of my threads and other awesome TheForce.net stuff, go to "The Page of the Force" under the blog's title and description. This reply was from Go Rien Moss, who, for anyone who doesn't know, is the name of one of the characters in the unofficial Hungarian Han Solo novel series by Valhalla. It's also the name of one of the translators at work in translating the books into the English language. He (and another currently anonymous JCF user) are about half-way through one of the books. So anyway, back to the point. I saw that this was the latest thing that popped up:

If you go to the link Go Rien mentions at the beginning of his post, or are simply too lazy and would prefer me to hyperlink it here, you will find a German wiki article about Valhalla on Wookieepedia's German equivalent, Jedipedia. It's a pretty good article, actually, with a lot of info that doesn't even appear on Kaminopedia, Wookieepedia's Hungarian equivalent. This info includes mention of A Jedi hatalma ("The Power of the Jedi" by "Malcolm Webster") and the Imperial Blood/HFAF series. Anyway, when you scroll down to the weblinks and references sections you'll see this:

Yes, I know, first of all, the thread is mentioned a few times, but my blog is too! Some of the info used in the article and some of the external links are "auf dem Blog DarthFandom"! I'm pretty excited about this! This is probably the first time I've had my blog linked on an external site, least of all a GERMAN one! Yay yay yayey yay! Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

How to Read LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Comic Books Online

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! After yesterday's post, I decided that I'd make a more in-depth post of how to read LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Comic Books Online! If you have been looking at my blog quite frequently, you'll notice I haven't done a "How to" post since right at the beginning of this blog's history. Talking about this blog's history, in 24 days, The Sith Archives of Darth Fandom will be celebrating its first birthday! Yay! But now, to continue the post...

Above: Front (right) and back (left) covers of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes #1

1. In your browser, type lego.com/biassets/bi/.

2. Go to this link on BrickLink.

3. Note down all 7-digit codes associated with any LEGO Marvel Super Heroes comic books.

4. In your browser, add a code next to the lego.com link.

5. Hit enter.

From here, you can read any LEGO Marvel Super Heroes comics available with sets. You're even luckier if you have any of the sets associated with the comics. That way, you can continue the story. For ease of access, I will make a list of codes for the comics, but that's still underway. In the meantime, enjoy the comics, and remember, you can't get into legal trouble for reading pirated material, as it's ALL on LEGO's official website! Well, that's a wap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Birthdays, Books and [Can't Think of Anything Relevant Beginning With B]

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! Okay, so I've been doing quite a bit lately. A lot of this has been towards my original work, i.e. writing up chapters of the Starport stories, but I've also been doing Star Wars (and other cool)-related stuff. First off, Fandom is on Fandom! Yay! You can find my Fandom profile on the Fandom Community Central here. The funny thing is, just after I joined, Tython Awakening asked if I'm affiliated with Fandom. I'm not surprised, because, um, well, Fandom's in the name. And yes. Darth Fandom is on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki! Go here to see what I've done so far. Right now, it's just a small page because I don't want to reveal too much until Chronicles of Telian Aieler comes out. Next off, I've been doing some LEGO stuff. I'm thinking of buying LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, so I thought I could get some material before I [might] get it. So, first thing that came to mind was the LEGO sets. Uh, yeah, sorry me but IT'S COVID, so no sets, but before I continue, guess what? I forgot to put a post on here on my birthday! My birthday! Well, my birthday was on the 23rd of May, like last year, and the year before, and the year before, and, well, all the times before. I'll try not to forget next year. So, I got a few pressies, so that's nice. To be precise, Star Wars: Legacy Volume II - Book 1-3, a small little Hot Wheels car, a very cool LEGO Iron Man Mech and a limited edition chocolate bar, because why not.

Anyway, back to LEGO, because my birthday is not as important. Maybe. Well, I couldn't get sets, so the next thing I thought was LEGO comics. I actually had three (you could say four, because one of them had two comics inside) in physical form, but it seems that I'm cursed, as after I bought them, LEGO Marvel comics ceased to exist. So, I began my quest the other day to find them online. So here's a little trick I found, which you can do too to get digital editions of the comics. Don't worry, it's legal since it goes through LEGO's official website. No piracy included. First, go to this link on BrickLink. Whenever there's a Marvel comic that appears and has a code beginning with the number 6 somewhere in brackets, make a not of it. Next, go onto your browser and type in "lego.com/biassets/bi/". Once you've typed this in, type in a code with ".pdf" after it and hit enter. Then, a PDF file of the comic you want to read will appear. From doing this, I've managed to get every LEGO Marvel comic that's appeared in a set (I say in a set because I haven't found any LEGO Club issues but two or any SDCC Exclusives), and I'm happy about that. I personally like comic #6037284 as it ends on a cliffhanger where ol' JJJ is covered in the Venom symbiote. What will happen exit? Ah, I dunno. I'm currently also trying the same with the DC Comic ones, but I haven't been too successful. Some comics aren't online. But I'll still keep trying.

So, I've covered quite a bit in this post. I'm quite happy about that. Now, before I go, are you a fan of Marvel Comics? Okay, well, are you also a fan of Deadpool? If so, I recommend reading the Deadpool #SecretComic. It's pretty cool. It covers all sorts of things, from Clea's affair with Benjamin Franklin to Deadpool massacring the Time Variance Authority to The Divorce of Deadpool #798, Marvel's first $99 comic book. Amazing. To read it go onto the Marvel Wiki and look at all variant covers from Deadpool (Vol.4) #1 up until Despicable Deadpool #296. Some issues don't have "Secret Comic Variant Cover"s but if they don't just go to the next issue. Another thing I just feel like saying is that Marvel's The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! is a pretty cool animated series. Sadly it was canned. Which means that there won't be a Season 3. Or a bigger plot around Galactus. Or him eating Hala. [Crying sounds] Well, sob, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!
