    I glanced through the wiki and it looks like the last EA game I purchased for myself was Mass Effect 3... in 2012... I think the last one I purchased at all for someone else was Dragon Age Inquisition. Looks like EA just doesn't make games I want to buy anyway.

    It's really impressive that EA could find a new way for me to despise them. Like, props to them, it's a creative new brand of bullshit. They've really dominated the "evil game company" space for a while now and they are not sitting on their laurels. They continue to innovate.

    Oooh that's a good solution too. Probably better than the shoebox ones.

    Yeah he isn't actually concerned with the mechanics of it at all. There's no actual plan here. It's just something scary he's saying using his favorite buzzwords and at some point he'll introduce some method whereby he gets to charge film studios unless they pay him off. It's just a setup for...

    I think Solid is almost certainly next up after Delta. I'd be legit shocked if they don't remake it now. And I think if you liked V then Delta will be familiar. It's similar to that in control scheme but with fewer overall options since the game just doesn't have that many mechanics to keep...

    The acrylic box route mentioned is a good idea. Check out this Ikea box (made for sneakers, it's even stackable!) that should work and is a relatively cheap way to solve the issue in the short term. You'll have to seal the finger hole on the one side, but there's a thousand ways to do that which...

    I just hate is fuckwit ass so much. You know this is just a means to extort the US film industry for a permit so they can film overseas. That's all it is. Another grift to hit one of the few industries that doesn't fellate him universally. He's such a transparent child.

    I will say, since Delta is a 1-to-1, it's still the same time to beat as the original. So it's pretty approachable from a time investment standpoint. It's not going to suck you dry of 100+ hrs unless you just really like 100%ing all the collectibles and/or going through and doing stuff like...

    It really was quite stellar. In fact in a lot of ways I think it surpasses the original. Having Mr X be an ongoing threat you can't escape from really ramps up the tension in that part of the game. I haven't seen many people talking about it, but the reviews were favorable and it's hard to say...

    Oooh, great idea. I'm taking that advice. They are worth every penny. The Billy's with the doors aren't bad for the price if you aren't going for something more elaborate. I feel like they're just cheap enough I don't mind modding them. I really need to expand the mods I have on my current...

    So I started playing through Metal Gear Delta this weekend. Basically a 1-to-1 translation of the original MGS3 with updated looks and controls. While I do like a soft reinterpretation (a la the Resident Evil 2 remake) I think in this case specifically it was the right way to go. There's no way...

    1/12 Diorama/Terrain/Props/Vehicles

    I'm honestly surprised they can bring the cost in for that at just $400. Also wonder about the Ramen toys version that is also supposed to be coming. Wonder if that project might not have been shot down by the rights holders... wouldn't be surprising, and is definitely a problem Ramen has had...

    I think you could make it work with the double doors too, though you will probably need to be a bit more particular with the placement and type of weather stripping. I do think it'd still work though. And I'll be getting a double-wide Billy soon myself for more of my collection, so when I solve...

    So some of this will depend on what color Billy you have. I've got the black ones and I bought this stuff: amazon.com/dp/B07477J8KL?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 I also have the single wide so all I needed to do was put a strip on the top and bottom edge of the shelf where...

    Third Party Figures

    Neat body sculpt. I assume they're going to make this guy a faux Sobek, but aside from the pharaoh head on the arm and leg pieces, and the Egyptian-ish weapons, the rest of the armor doesn't really read as from the same style. Little bit of a discontinuity for me.

    Dust-sealing my shelves has been the *best* return on investment for a home-improvement I've ever made. All my stuff is in Billy bookshelves, but I got the ones with the glass doors on them (and you can buy the doors separate if you've already got Billys). A little bit of cheap adhesive rubber...

    Yeah I'm a little sus on the stands. That said, I've not had any issues at all getting these dudes to free-stand, even in high kick poses, so I'd only be using a stand if I needed them to do an areal move.

    I'll say, at least for me, it has not been hard to offload the second figure so far. I managed to ditch the Venom and War Machine so far leaving me with just the stuff I wanted for a price close to what I would've been willing to pay.

    Don't know if it would work for your needs, but if you haven't you might want to check out the Expanse.

    I definitely don't need alt colors for my Ken and Ryu... but I do really like the color choices. The bonus heads I'd kinda like, but I'm not tripping over myself to get those.

    Right, mine says that... is two and a half months away "soon"? Like, the original estimate was in October... 2 1/2 weeks or so, and that would be soon. Like, it's just a little weird, and makes me think they're going to charge us with the first ship date in mind, but the email does not clarify...

    So, after being assured the Sentinel was delayed to December, I just got an email that it's about to ship... What?!? Like, did someone just not update the auto-emails that were set for the initial ship date or what?

    General Marvel Legends

    It's a little weird when questions at a panel get treated like some sort of resource that can be squandered. Like, the truth is the team either has information they're willing to share, has information they aren't willing to share, or has no information on a topic. I feel like the majority...

    Saw the last ep of Alien: Earth. I think my favorite of the series thus far, mainly because it moved the ball down field in a way that opens us up to a lot of new things. My D+ sub is cancelled for now, but maybe if a season 2 comes and it looks good I'll give it a shot as well. None of my...
