  1. I think my ignore list is infected. It keeps growing exponentially.
  2. I heard good things about Detroit: Become Human when it came out. Up next for me (about 70% through the RDR2 story) is Witcher 3 free on the XBox Game Pass.
  3. John, you should read better newspapers. @NewWorldOrder
  4. @Foolkiller Why? Why is it good news that they've decided to stay open? I understand why they don't want to close down and I understand why people here would want their books to keep getting slabbed. But how do they possibly qualify as an essential service. Whether they might meet the technical provisions of the order or not, I won't comment. But make no mistake they are placing their employees (and others) in harm's way.
  5. Ridiculous. Why wait one more day to close down?
  6. Combine having seen a bunch with difficulty finding things 4 different people want to watch, I find my videogame time is going up. Even before the lockdowns, I joined XBox GamePass. Good value there I think. I spent hours playing Outer Worlds, which I never would have bought standalone. Spent 30 minutes playing Outer Wilds which I just don't get, thankfully without paying for the standalone. I've recently gone back to RDR2 and I can predict many, many hours grinding this one. At times, I have to simply stop and admire what they did here. The scenery is amazing. The AI, especially with animals, is really cool. But the visuals are just stunning in places and the small touches are everywhere. Two examples. As I was riding a horse down a hill, I bumped a flat rock loose. It slid all the way down the hill, just as the physics would predict. It didn't tumble or stop immediately or go on forever. Second example was after killing a man, I made camp and spent the night down the way. The next day I was riding back past the site where it happened and there were vultures at the body. I read a review for Half-Life: Alyx. I almost wish I had a PC VR setup. It sounds really cool. https://kotaku.com/half-life-alyx-the-kotaku-review-1842446543 So what are you playing and are you playing more or less than normal?
  7. Caveat emptor re CBCS ⚠️ OR... CGC won't let a post even mildly complimentary of CBCS or that even dares to show such a book in a photo, last for 30 seconds. BUT, if you want to bash them, suddenly the mods can't find their keyboards.
  8. If anyone has any leads on original art done by Jaime Hernandez for the Indigo Girls album, All That We Let In, please shoot me a PM.
  9. With their QA issues, CGC should really hope that doesn't happen. What do you deduct for inner well scuffs or Newton rings?
  10. I am going to be going nuts buying McFarlane SS books in the next few months, at discount prices.
  11. Hah. Forgot I split into buying and selling IDs. That ID is since 1998. My buying is since 2008.
  12. So, as far as I can tell @sd2416 added my name to this list all by himself. No mention of why. In fact, I have a perfect record on Ebay for more than 10 years. Care to explain, @sd2416? Here or PM, I don't care.
  13. I'll reserve final judgment until I live with it for a while. That said, my initial impression is that the redesign is creating a lot more clicking. I wonder if that was intentional to drive page views? No idea. But information is more spread out. Hopefully, the mobile version is as compact as it was.
  14. Lot of questions in here. Some good ones too. Help these folks out, longtime boardies!
