    What!? PIFFY? OUR Piffy? Let it be true. He's a real one.

    TWO of my local gaming stores actually took their gaming figures out of the packages and just put them on display in the store because they just weren't selling; McFarlane Warhammer and NECA D&D. Totally anecdotal, as all this stuff is, but these are also places where D&D (and Warhammer) games...

    10,000% Racism isn't a rich or poor problem, and it's not a north or south problem. It's a white people problem that we ALL (all us white folks) need to reckon with and understand. We all have it. Our country was founded on it and it was ingrained in all of us in the most horribly subtle ways. I...

    I think it depends on when you got into it. If you got into DL during the re-issue era, you probably think of Matt Stawicki's version of the Companions. There's also Clyde Caldwell - who some people definitely prefer over Elmore. If you're a really old school gamer, you might prefer Jeff Easley...

    I'd be ....X-TATIC! Get it? Because that shitty team took over for the actual good team? But yeah, I'd be pretty damn happy if we got a proper X-Force wave. For a while I thought it was possible. Hasbro seemed big on the Retro Card waves, and X-Force DID have their own themed waves in the 5"...

    I genuinely want a Forearm figure. But it's one of those ones where it's like... I mostly want it to go with X-Force and I'm really not happy with our options for having an X-Force shelf so I'd probably skip it unless Hasbro does something interesting for that team.

    X-Force will never be complete until we have a properly matching team, including v2 Shatterstar.

    There was an Ivan Ooze in the vintage 5" line, but I think it tends to not be very cheap these days.

    I don't think that guy comes here very often, to be fair. This place is a little wild for someone that needs two helpings of Metamucil.

    This is what Hasbro gets for raising prices. They want us talking about how great their figures are, but we're all about clapping scorpion cheeks now.

    I don't think Dragonlance is generally big enough to get aped by a company way too busy aping all of MOTU while pretending to be creative. But yeah, I don't see it ever happening unless there's some drastic change like a Dragonlance movie or some celebrity goes on a rant about how much they...

    I'm not saying I wouldn't fuck a scorpion. But fuck a scorpion WITHOUT a condom? I'm not a goddamn savage.

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    I spent a lot of my life, and this is not a brag, genuinely not being afraid enough of what kind of damage other people could do to me. I would get some gym-bro in my face and be like 'I can probably take 'im.' I work out, but I've always been a thin guy, average height. I don't look...

    I wouldn't necessarily count on this just because they've clearly not made any attempt to stop him yet, right? But even just you saying it out loud and kind of forcing other people to acknowledge it's happening might help. I have never been described as 'assuredly expressing myself.' That's a...

    Someone called my wife a dumb bitch on Marketplace once, so I responded with my work address and the hours I'm available if he'd like to come say that out loud. Who's a dumb bitch now, Jeremy-that-never-showed-up.

    Masters of the Universe: Origins

    I've said before - I would be WAY more excited about new characters if they finished the vintage originals. That's it. I'm not saying, and have never said, remake the originals and then stop. But like.. actually remake the originals. I want all the new characters to ADD to the original roster...

    I think it's also just that people have gotten a lot bolder since some of the most powerful people in the northern end of North America are just outwardly saying the most vile shit now. If you're a white dude that's fairly 'normal-presenting' or whatever, you are very likely to have people just...

    These are different issues, though. Toy collecting is fairly big. There's a fair number of us and we tend to spend a lot of money. So stores all over want to capture some of that. But all of those stores carrying toys isn't evidence that they're selling to anyone that isn't already collecting...

    Fwoosh Toys/Articulated Icons

    Yup. Least surprising thing I've heard all day. It really is such a massive shame. This line came out of the gate with products that, while not perfect, everyone seemed to like and be enthusiastic about. And everyone, at the time, really wanted to support Fwoosh. For most of us that was a place...

    Regarding game length: I've definitely played and enjoyed 'marathon' sessions. But it was always when no one had to work the next day for whatever reason, and when the game was just JIVING with everyone and no one really wanted to stop. It was definitely a group decision constantly punctuated by...

    I was just giving you a hard time. Actually, some of the best calzones I've EVER had is just down the street from my house here in Edmonton. That is something I would not have expected.

    Your second statement belies your first statement. "As someone living where all the good pizza is, it is my opinion that you can find good pizza everywhere." I guess it also depends on what 'good' means here. I have been able to find 'acceptable' pizza everywhere. I've rarely had a GOOD pizza...
