After playing it a couple times at my weekly meetups, I picked up a copy of Apiary and its expansion. It's a midweight worker-placement base builder, which I'm usually kind of iffy on 'cause so many of them just become multiplayer solitaire. Apiary has a couple mechanics to encourage player...

A ponderance: we've probably all said "not my circus, not my monkeys" at some point. And unfortunately sometimes it is both your circus and your monkeys. If that situation were only half true, which would be worse? - It is your circus, still not your monkeys - Not your circus, but it is your...

Surprising things from the retro cartoon channel, subsection "you really couldn't make that today": think it was a Harvey Studios, one of their 'tortoise and the hare' shorts from the '50s. Wherein after losing to the turtle again, the hare cartoonishly but unambiguously commits suicide. Pulls a...

I agree, and saw something similar on a "sci-fi for non-sci-fi fans" list once - more or less, "Neuromancer is more prototypical cyberpunk, but it's also kind of a deadly bore."

More streamer archetypes that I find hard to watch: "Man, I really don't care for how long these battles are..." *playing as defensively and 'cowardly' as possible* *refusing to use consumables or powers*

Working just as well as it has since the School Shooting Crisis began in 1999!

But, but all our Thoughts And Prayers! Surely that will work in lieu of regulating the industry and - yes - making it more difficult for people to get their hands on massacre-capable weapons instead of less!

I watch a lot of Let's Plays, it's how I consume most video game stuff. I appreciate that trying to record yourself playing a game and also be entertaining, or streaming which is even more complicated, can be very difficult to juggle. I am but a passive audience member after the fact. That said...

Another thread I can dive into here. I also was not a MOTU kid; until relatively recently it was just internet osmosis, Skeletor memes, conversations with a friend a few years older than I am who was a MOTU kid and is still a fan as an adult, and the live-action Dolph Lundgren movie having a...

Huh. New game announced: Just how varied is the gameplay going to be, and how much can you go off the rails from the series, I should wonder. Shame the only possible hint of actual game in this teaser is maybe the way they zoomed in from the exterior to the MSD - XCOM-style Ant Farm facility...

Good ol' Rapid Unplanned Disassembly.

Just got back from the TMNT 35th Anniversary showing at my AMC. I wasn't a Turtles kid (aside from Transformers, it was a side of Thundercats), and I'd never actually seen the 1990 movie in its entirety - just chunks of it back when I had SciFi Channel available in college. My only other...

Man, if I could get Target Prime without the trailer...I really do like that color scheme on the mold, I just don't care about the trailer or cassette remold. It's not a lot different (and I see you removed the Target bullseyes), but the black and red is snazzy and actually feels like a...

...how does blocking ads infringe on copyright of all things?

Dredging this one back up...my local AMC had the rerun of Shin Godzilla this weekend. I hadn't seen that one, and went in pretty blind. Not bad at all. Little weirder than the standard, which I appreciate. Also that the primary antagonistic force for like the first third of the movie isn't even...

Unrelated to the political situation per se, but...

Another quartet down. 1x05 The Last Outpost Ah, our first actual introduction to the Ferengi, in all their early installment weirdness and full loot-goblin mode. And the T'kon, for the times they've cropped up in secondary canon! It's time for the first round of “we're both trapped on an alien...

Bold of you to assume it'd work in the first place. Again, I just...ugh. I won't asky why, the answer is to steal and sell your information, but if they're pretending to play the 'protect kids' card then maybe they should look into fixing up Youtube Kids first?

Dog Daaaaays! They did it, they gave us a pool noodle melee! And I kinda hate it, 'cause it's classed as a hammer instead of a staff, which means it's super slow. :P I get the most out of it with jumpslams. DE also tweaked the Soaktron so you don't have to pump it, it has a standard (slow)...

Been going through some boxes and weeding out some figures that I'm going to move on. Some random thoughts: - Based on what I've kept and sold over the years, I definitely lean toward deluxe and smaller figures. - Not all of 'em were winners, but man the scout class ROTF guys were overall good...
