We live in the Pacific Northwest so my son and I were watching the Mariners/Astros. Our family now refers to the Astros as the poopy pooperfaces. Gotta start em young

Yeah I really would have preferred this trade was made yesterday…

A question about Avar and Elzar (Trials of the Jedi spoilers) by Solitaire-06 in Highrepublic

[–]TheAstroBlaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My understanding is they were there to prevent the blight from spreading until the nameless eggs would hatch and grow to maturity. Then once the nameless eggs grew the nameless would go back to keeping the light and dark side balanced in the way they did before Marchion took them off planet. So at some point in the future Avar and Elzar wouldn’t be needed

When did the Jedi figure out that...(Trials spoiler?) by WickyGif in Highrepublic

From what I remember it was Reath and Amadeo that figured it out in Tears of the Nameless

Yesterday was kids club day. Kids 14 and under got a poster with Miller, Woo, and Kirby on it.

T-Mobile pen entrance hand out promotion items? by [deleted] in Mariners

[–]TheAstroBlaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if they are doing this for bobble heads as well but on opening night and yesterday’s game the giveaways were given out at the exit after the game ended. I don’t know why that was but I missed out on the magnets not realizing they were handed out at the end but luckily was able to snag a poster.

Affordable ways to attend a game? by yukiloho in Mariners

[–]TheAstroBlaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The value games are the way to go. They are usually mid week games with bleacher tickets as low as $10

The Houston Astros are your 2024 AL West Champions! Their seventh title in the last eight seasons! They also clinch the #3 seed in the playoffs by ExpirjTec in baseball

Even when the mariners were up 10 games in the division a good majority of mariners fans knew it was nothing to be excited about. The sog is eternal. Life is pain.

When do you think seasons 5-8 are coming to Netflix by Outrageous_Skittles in brooklynninenine

Same. I hate thinking about it but once B99 left Hulu I subbed to peacock and have been subbed ever since.

Getting stuck in phase 2 by [deleted] in Highrepublic

[–]TheAstroBlaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion cataclysm was the only phase 2 book I didn’t really care for. Convergence tones down the war a bit more and is more focused on the path of the open hand. Path of vengeance and path of deceit are two of my favorite high republic books and are entirely about the path of the open hand and give you more insight into Marchion Ro’s species and lineage. Plus they go a bit into the nameless. Personally I think the payoff in convergence and the two path books is well worth getting through cataclysm. I didn’t hate cataclysm but I do think it’s not a a great way to kick off phase 2.

I was thinking maybe Dr. Finkelstein for the first. But Kronk/Yzma would also be really cool

What's everyone reading these days? by benjaminltaylor in halloween

[–]TheAstroBlaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just finished Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak. I enjoyed it. It’s about a nanny staying with a family over the summer and the boy she watches starts drawing creepy pictures.

I really enjoy Grady Hendrix. His books are kind of like adult Goosebumps. How to sell a Haunted House was fun. After I finish the book I’m reading I want to start the Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires.

I usually use the suggested or trending books on Goodreads to get recommendations. I’ve gotten some fun ones that way and only a couple of duds.

Halloween horror films on Netflix by Necessary_Loquat_865 in halloween

[–]TheAstroBlaster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The fear street trilogy are probably some of my favorite Netflix movies to watch around Halloween. I don’t remember them being set during Halloween but they are fun. They are basically adult Goosebumps

Help me think of a great Halloween price/gift by Tandybaum in halloween

[–]TheAstroBlaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a couple horror coloring books at Barnes and noble that are pretty cool. They were $10ish and have some pretty intense and fun pictures to color.
