why does the translation of "up" translate to "up" with the addition of another word? sounds like a translator error

neither pixar nor dreamworks have anything to do with GForce.
and g-force is really an actual physics term

no wonder it sounded so familiar

i didn't think Pixar had anything to do with it, thought it was all Disney Animation Studios.[/QUOTE]
When Disney merged with Pixar, John Lasseter came into their animation studios and laid down the fucking law.
That, and everyone in the studio was like "oh shit it's John Lasseter".
I saw it in 3D and my god, it was so good. One of my favorites. It wasn't like "oooohhhh look it pops out at you!" either. It was casually made into 3D.
It was cute too :3

Miscarriages? In MY Pixar film?

A miscarriage is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for couples to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it's often much harder on the woman than on the man. However, I also know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People can move past it, and heal.
This falls in with what I was just saying above. Yes, a miscarriage is a very sad occurance. But nothing dictates that I now need to follow Ethan and Lilah through every second of their sad emotions, putting us right in the middle of it where, yes, it would be a bit depressing. There are a number of supporting characters in the strip through which I can tell the story, or I could break away completely with some one-shots and come back to join the characters post-ground-zero, when the pain isn't so fresh, to show how they handle it.
Now I'm sure some of you are wondering what my motivations were for this particular story path.
As I've said in the past, the grand plan for the comic and its characters has been written for years. I knew that (and how) Ethan was going to propose to Lilah when I introduced her into the comic. I knew when he proposed that shortly before the wedding Lilah was going to get pregnant and then miscarry, and I had to wait two years to write it. I know what happens next, and I know how they handle it. I know what happens even further down the line. I know what Scott is doing in his room. I know who moves out and when. I know who dies and who doesn't die. And I know that, through all of it, Ethan is still Ethan, Lilah is still Lilah, and Lucas is still Lucas, and they are all still gamers.
And more importantly, I know that I have a storyline that can keep the comic going for a long, long time, and most importantly, keep me anxious to write the next part for you. Because for me, there needs to be more there than just playing games. The characters and their lives need to be interesting enough that I want to keep writing about them while they play the games.
So in part, this just serves to set up the next part of the story. On a base level, it's just a good twist. Conflict makes for interesting story.
On a deeper level, I really have a desire to stress test Ethan and Lilah's relationship, to see if there is really something there that would keep them together despite Ethan's antics, and I decided that this was the best way to go about it. I know from personal experience what it can do to a relationship. Some many years ago, long before I started the comic, I was in a relationship and we suffered a miscarriage. Now, this relationship was toxic to begin with and doomed to fail regardless, so that the miscarriage was the straw that broke the camel's back came as no surprise. It was a pregnancy neither of us wanted in the first place, so the event didn't effect me nearly as much as it would, say, a couple who was trying for a child. Still, I saw the emotions it can bring up first hand, and I saw how it could truly hurt someone. It's a tough thing to handle because it's nobody's fault. There's nobody you can blame.
It can cause a rift in a relationship without someone having to be the "bad guy", as in infidelity or lying. And I wanted to see if and how Ethan and Lilah's relationship could weather it.

what the hell
My first thought was "Oh shit, miscarriage." Then my next thought was "Oh shit, CAD." But then I realized that it didn't even have to be a miscarriage. It could just be that Elly is infertile.

Yea, that's what I thought. Cuz she never looked pregnant. It was like "lets have a baby" but "Oh no you can't D:" and then it was sad.
And TH89, I thought you wrote that for a second there.

Army of darkness, movie was awesome and hilarious it was not sad whatsoever
This movie looks good.
You would never believe what happened to me today, and yes it involves this movie. I was chilling in my pool, just relaxing, when all of a sudden i hear this loud noise. I look up and there is a HUGE ASS BLIMP above my house, not 50 ft above, and no i am not joking. Scared the shit out of me to see a blimp appear out of nowhere above my house, bigger too. Then as it turns I see thew words Disney - Pixtar's UP on the side. I was like holyshitwtf is this blimp doing here. Then I took a picture as it was almost out of sight (had to go get my phone, no camera).

I want a blimp saying up to fly over my house. :frown:
I went to see it on Saturday, went to the only theater that plays these '3D' movies. I got there an hour early, and they were already sold out of tickets.
So I just saw it in it's normal habitat :-\
Edit: And Elly was infertile, she didn't have a misscarriage.

it never actually clarifies if it was infertility or a miscarriage, it's only implied that one of the two happened.

I saw that same blimp flying over us when we were at a marching competition a couple weeks ago. It was awesome.
