    Now? McFarlane Toys has its 30 year anniversary this year. I can't speak to the quality of any of it (I'm not an action figure guy), but most of their stuff is positioned mid-market and reviews tend to be good.

    I've been taking some pictures of my game collection. Figured I'd post some after teasing it earlier. Consoles. I believe that they're all CIB except the PS1, which is missing its controller and paperwork. Also pretty sure that the NES is missing a controller but it hasn't been opened in ~30...

    Mine is also from the early 90s, couldn't be more specific. I was a huge monster movie nerd as a kid and we were constantly taping stuff off of TNT's Monstervision and USA's Up All Night.

    Some stuff I'll be keeping. Front Mission 3 wanzers (including accessories, not pictured) Zoids. The pegasus is missing a rubber cap, and finding replacements appears to be difficult or damn expensive. I might have to order some flexible printer filament and try printing a replacement...

    That set is super tempting. I own [6076] Dark Dragon's Den, and that DnD set is like my 30 year old set on steroids. I've decided to keep my LEGOs (many were gifts from my recently deceased mother) so that set, along with the Dune thopter, are on my radar to add to the collection.

    I've been cataloguing all my stuff before trying to make any decision about what I might want to keep/sell, and good lord, the pricing on some of this stuff is shocking. I've entered in all my Magic cards, game consoles, and games, and the total value is over $7.5k so far. A thousand of that...

    A recent death in the family is making me reconsider hanging on to a bunch of my childhood games/toys. Most of it has been sitting in storage totes for ~20 years and I'm coming to the realization that a lot of it no longer holds the same sentimental value. I've got some decently valuable...

    Checking in to say I haven't gotten to it, probably won't for a while. Recent death in the family.

    PC Sherdog Gaming Laptop & Review Thread (OP Updated Apr-2019)

    Sorry for the late reply, death in the family kinda fucked everything up. Anyways, looked to be a combination of crappy UI and user error. After 'save and exit' the bios the screen would go black and I'd start smashing escape to get back into the bootloader. Well, there was an additional...

    This is straight out of the box. Could be. Might not be. Unfortunately I don't care to fuck around with it too much in case BestBuy won't accept a return. HP only have one BIOS listed on their support page and its from January, listed as F.10 Rev.A. I'd have to dig it back out of the box to...

    PC Sherdog Gaming Laptop & Review Thread (OP Updated Apr-2019)

    I just bought an HP laptop (15-fc0093dx -- not a gaming computer, but on sale for a good price) and the first thing I wanted to do was dual boot with linux and then ignore windows forever, and the fucking thing won't let you boot into a USB stick. It says there's a secure boot violation. I go...

    RIP Toriyama. What an iconic career. As a millennial, it feels weird getting to the point where you're old enough that creators of old favorites are starting to die.

    IIRC Maingear has done well on LTT's Secret Shopper the last couple times they've done it.

    I don't know how closely the anime follows the manga, but if you want to see him running around killing people again then you've missed the entire point of the story.

    Probably had to move them so that the heathens wouldn't just rip them open to find what they were looking for.

    What's your favorite of the most popular flavors of ice cream?

    Ones that I like from the list, in order of prefference: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Mint Chocolate Chip Vanilla & Chocolate Chocolate Chip Coffee Vanilla Not on the list that would slot in right below the cookie dough: Fudge Swirl Caramel Swirl

    Suuuuuuuurre. You don't need to lie to us like that, sherbro. This is a no-judgement zone.

    I would suggest you check your manual, but based on the way those ports are grouped by the printed boxes I would assume you don't mix-and-match. So if you use 1 for your CPU you'd use 3+4 for your video card while leaving 2 unused.

    Media companies suck. Sorry you got hosed like this. It seems like the motto for the modern day is now: If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.

    Man, a hiatus after a couple major exposition chapters is a kick in the sack. Oh well.
