I stand corrected though regarding the deletion. I forgot that usually only occurs quickly with right leaning posts. I wonder if a sales thread referencing the current occupant or recent loser would stay as long?

 

Not true. Transplant and I both got strikes for our left leaning posts.

Saying those posts were "leaning" is like saying this cargo ship is a tad off-center.

Well that sucks, I'm on PS4

 

Would have been cool to hook up.

Indeed

We haven't tried any public dungeons, trials, etc. yet. Still leveling up our toons. They say that the world is now scaled to each players level, but it doesn't seem that way when I stumble into a world boss and get one-shot ganked 3 seconds into the fight.

And forget about pvp, I don't feel like getting tea bagged by an Orc.

The New Life holiday event that's going on now is pretty fun, though.

Skyrim is out. Anyone try it?

I'm having fun with it. The graphical update is nice, but nothing earth shattering. I haven't experienced any major bugs yet, nor have I played with any mods. Since ES 6 is apparently not coming out for a long time, I'll make due with Skyrim for another thousand hours.

 

After reading that they've done nothing to fix any of the bugs and basically just gave it a graphical overhaul, I'm not going to be bothered.

Like you said, they didn't fix anything. Slapped a new coat of paint on it and called it a day. That being said, it's Skyrim, and it's awesome. I haven't run into anything game breaking, but I quick save often just in case.

 

Between Skyrim and getting back into ESO, my RPG plate is full. One of these days I'll get around to playing Witcher, and see if all the hype is real.

 

I've completely given up on ESO, to the chagrin of online friends. Just can't handle all the changed they keep making, while not fixing the problems that have been apparent since launch.

 

What platform are you playing on?

I'm on Xbox. I bought it at launch, gave up on it after a month. Now with the 1 Tamriel update I'm back, and me and wifey are having fun with it. I'm not usually an MMO fan, so I find myself getting annoyed at dumb people that stand around quest givers spamming AOE's. I'm still trying to get used to switching between weapon bars in the middle of a fight.

I think we are talking about 2 different people;)

 

I was just making a probably hard to follow joke about the "made man" reference.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_man

 

I knew what you meant Sharon

I watched The Sopranos

But not Goodfellas, apparently.

This joke goes over her head, that joke goes over his head.

And this guys like "oh, whaddya want from me".

Okay, like I said, it's difficult to ascertain all this after the fact. However, to my point of the good old boys club..... Look at Racer-x's recent tactics when he was acquiring a GA collection.

- He started a thread showing off a recently acquired OO collection. Turns out he didn't even have the books yet, just pimping them. I commented about this in the thread and he basically told me he's a made man here and I could leave.

http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9587107&fpart=1

- He started new threads showing off group shots of the collection by genre.

- He started a thread asking how he should sell the books.

Anyway, I'm not here to call Racer-X out, just saying his tactics seem to be okay with everyone. I really don't know what's legit around here anymore but it's all good.

 

I grew up in Da Bronx, I hope "Made man" does not mean the same thing here as it did there;)?

You know what I mean. He lied about gpa, he didn't follow sales thread rules. He's gone, and we couldn't do anything about it.

DC movies seem to get a mixed response from fans, but they rock when it comes to the animated stuff. Now can they please bring back the Green Lantern cartoon too? It's bad enough I have to wait until 2020 for a movie, and knowing Warner Bros it will probably have G'nort as the main GL. But that animated show had everything that the GL movie lacked.

I carefully and lovingly hold each of my comics under a blanket and then fart. Be on the lookout for the Dutch Oven Collection coming to market in the near future.

It takes a lot for one to man up to his mistakes, then continue making them.

I know he's up late so figured I would text him now

 

EDIT: oops had to edit a word and I put some money in the swear jar

 

Doing this all on my phone since the Internet is out

 

 

That's awesome! They have the best comic book show/podcast out there, IMHO. They cover all the new releases without being too big 2-centric. I've picked up some good books on their recommendations that I probably would've passed on otherwise. Petes got a nice collection of back issues and statues that he mixes in with the new releases, they get some good creators to come on the show. And in true NY fashion, they drink booze, curse, eat zeppoles, and talk about Yankee baseball. What's not to like?

I like the way the Cap statue looks, and I think it would look snappy in my backyard.

To tell you the truth, I am kind of about it and do not believe it has a place in a city park as a permanent installation.

 

If any of you are familiar with Pete's Basement YouTube channel they are going down there to film some stuff for their next show. I was thinking of heading down there with them to check it out but it is a disgusting and muggy day.

It's gross out today. Ramon sweats and wipes his brow constantly like a southern preacher in Pete's Basement, if he goes outside today I'm afraid he'll melt.

It would be nice if the City could rehab the overgrown graffiti ridden monument to the Maryland 400. They might not have been kids from Brooklyn but they fought and died buying time for Geoge Washington to evacuate his army after the Battle of Long Island.

Four hundred Marylanders held off some 14,000 Enemy, with 256 of them dying and all but ten of the survivors were wounded and captured.

I love Cap, but a Parks Department that can't maintain monuments to real heroes shouldn't be engaging in publicity stunts.

There's a lot of dilapidated monuments and statues in NYC that need some lovin'. I wouldn't mind seeing Civic Virtue restored and brought back to Queens Blvd, even though some people consider it mysoginistic. It's a really beautiful statue, and it's a shame that it's now rotting away in a Brooklyn cemetery.

Watching the video I was reminded of the film "King Of Comedy" when Robert Deniro has the fake talk show in his basement.

"MOOOOMMM!! I'm trashing CGC!!"

Good post.

No it wasn't.

He edited it, and your sarcasm metre is broken, *spoon*.

See, the joke there was that I signed it "literal JAM", the indication being that I was picking up your sarcasm, and then pretending you actually meant it was a good post.

 

I'm not saying my joke was a home run, but c'mon.

 

I expect a lot more after HarveySwick voted you funniest Boardie and liked all your pictures on Instagram.

I wish he did. He only liked my tastefully done nude selfies.

Good post.

No it wasn't.

It's been my experience that most guys who add a "Y" to their first name are usually tools to begin with

 

I agree Hecty.

I see Goonies, as Stranger Things based on adventures of elementary and high school kids from the 1980s. Interesting background music as I have not heard that Echo and the Bunnymen song for ages.

Yeah, the idea of young kids and their older siblings having separate adventures, then coming together at the end, is what reminds me of Goonies.

I am 3 episodes in and this is an amazing series so far!

 

Not understanding where some of you guys are comparing this to ET.

 

Pretty obvious its Stand by Me mixed with Akira.

I really enjoyed this show, and can't wait for the second season. It's like Akira and Stand By Me mixed with a pinch of Goonies, and baked in a golden flaky 80's crust.

 

The kids were the highlight of the show, I loved those little geeks.
