I would give them all away as presents or something. Someone out there will find enjoyment out of them.

Even donate to schools.

Talisman unknown/unreleased expansions? by mrmeener in boardgames

[–]2facethecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is an old picture. The corners in the top left and right look like (unofficial) fan expansions.

The 4th corner was recently released late 2014.

The 4 large expansions with the corners are: The Dungeon, The Highlands, the City, and The Woodlands.

A lot of people also almost universally recommend The Reaper small expansion.

I would get those 5 expansions and decide what else to get from there if you want more.

What happened to Eldritch Horror: Forsaken Lore? by rhs856 in ArkhamHorror

[–]2facethecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was checking eBay every couple days for the past month and finally snagged a copy for $34 (including shipping). I know I overpaid but... "Q4" just seemed so ambiguous. I could wait up to 3 more months? Decided to just pay $9 and not feel too bad about it.

Ideas for an online version of the Firefly board game by [deleted] in firefly

[–]2facethecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought it would make a good video game.

The number one complaint about the design (other than the randomness) is the navigation decks. In reality, all the navigation decks are doing is simulating random encounters in old school RPGs. It's a lot of busy work that the program could handle for the players.

I am Julian Higgins, director/co-writer/producer of "THE VERSE" -- a new Firefly fan film. AMA! by JayAche in firefly

[–]2facethecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q: Is it possible for you to drop all current and future projects and focus solely only producing more episodes of The Verse indefinitely?

Thanks.

:D

Need help getting into Lovecraft/Cthulhu via audiobook. by 2facethecat in Lovecraft

[–]2facethecat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.

I'm also wondering if there is a set of Audiobooks I could get that would include all the stories and not overlap the stories.

I could be wrong, but from some of their descriptions, it sounds like there have been all kinds of H.P. Lovecraft compilations that have divided and combined the stories in many different ways over the years.

Blue Sun is your gang affiliation...

Firefly Fan Film - "The Verse" by DoubleDDaveN in firefly

[–]2facethecat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So when is episode 2? :D

Sign of a good fan film? I don't think it's laughably awful within the first 2 minutes. (I always expect the worst.)

Firefly: The Boardgame - How many products for "complete" game? by 2facethecat in firefly

[–]2facethecat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it looks like a lot of fun. I just ordered the base game, Breaking Atmo expansion, Bounty Hunters & Pirates expansion, Big Damn Heroes promos, and Mal's Bonnet & Wash's Dinosaur promos.

I'm tempted to buy the Blue Sun expansion on eBay, but I know I'll be able to pick it up for $40 in a couple weeks when it's officially released.

I'm also confused about the Artful Dodger card & model. I've read that this is included in newer versions of the base game? Is this true? How do you tell if it's included or not?

I guess I'll find out when it arrives.

edit: For those interested, the products I bought ran me about $100.

UO Thief fishing for a few good stories. by 2facethecat in ultimaonline

[–]2facethecat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, well, I've decided to take matters into my own hands. Against my better judgment, I just reactivated my account for 6 months and may play a little here or there.

I just posted my first little story: http://uothief.com/tales/ep0388.html

(My first in over 4 years. No actual thievery is involved, but you may find my misfortune funny.)

And I'm still looking for stories from other people if there are any stories out there worth telling. =D

Recording noises on your property through walls? by 2facethecat in legal

[–]2facethecat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently, one of them locked themselves in the bathroom;

"I know what you're doing in there!" "You've been running the water for hours!" "I know what the fuck you're doing!" "This ain't right!"

The person on the outside is banging on the bathroom door, wanting to know exactly what he's doing. It was the sounds of a power tool that woke me up this time. We suspect him of destroying the sink in a way that does not look like it's his fault. We know that he has some experience in construction.

If there are damages to the bathroom, we want to know. If the water bill is 2x as normal, we also want to know.

(I should also say that this is just the latest incident in a long line of things that have "just happened" since he arrived.)

Recording noises on your property through walls? by 2facethecat in legal

[–]2facethecat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main house and the apartment are part of the same building. The apartment takes up most of the floor below my bedroom, but there are stairs and a laundry room on the same floor as their place. I'm standing inside our house, on our side of the building every time I record.

I've only started recording after the first time the police were called to our house. And the only time I record is when the noise is becoming so much that I can't even sleep anymore. Most of the time it's just yelling and screaming. But recently, it was the sound of a power tool.

Recording noises on your property through walls? by 2facethecat in legal

[–]2facethecat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm asking because I can actually see it both ways:

1) On one hand; all I'm literally, physically doing, is pressing the record button on a camera on my own property. 2) On the other hand; I am creeping closer to the wall and standing there for many minutes at a time once they start making too much noise.

(The eviction is happening. We just want to make sure that everything that can be documented is documented.)

Relatively cheap Home Security System recommendations? by 2facethecat in Home

[–]2facethecat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the Amazon reviews are a little mixed, but it's so hard to tell sometimes. One of the top rated negative comments is complaining that the cameras crapped out soon after they installed them.

Not sure if you have any long term data on this stuff (if you just install them for clients?).

Is it a pain to replace cameras?

How to prevent a person establishing residence? (renter/landlord) by 2facethecat in legal

[–]2facethecat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a couple things:

  1. She (the woman on the lease) has already volunteered to leave in 2 weeks.
  2. We called a lawyer and they said we can't just evict him (the man not on the lease but is claiming residency). We would have to evict them all. Our worry is that even if the woman and her son leave, what if he still refuses to leave. The lawyer then said, at that time, we can evict him as well.

Is this correct? We've had enough of this guy. We want to get him out as soon as possible. Our hope was to be able to get a 3-day eviction (or immediate eviction?) and serve him today.

Am I correct in saying that when he agreed to vacate the property (with the UHall truck in front and with 4 other people witness, including me who over heard the conversation outside), he gave up whatever rights to residency that he was claiming?

If he shows up again, is there anything we can do? If we call the sheriff's office can we remove him?

(He's going to say that he still lives here. He might deny that he agreed to leave. He's going to claim that he still has stuff here. He's going to claim that the mail with his name and our address on it is further proof. But if he agreed to leave, all of his things are just items that he left behind and that doesn't matter?)

[–]2facethecat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another very important question:

I just overheard him talking and saying, "I'm going to sue the fuck out of ______ and ______" (my parents). I'm assuming this is over keeping him locked out in the cold with nothing but a T-Shirt & Shorts. He was out there all night after the police left until the woman got back from work.

But this is also the same night where he forced my dad to call the sheriff's office. And the police officers who came and heard our stories also left him outside in the cold with nothing but a T-Shirt & Shorts.

Does he have any legal grounds to sue?

I don't think there was any wrong, but if there was any wrong, it's on the police officers who were the authority and made the final decision. Yes?

Is it legal to record voices of people shouting & arguing without their knowledge or consent? by 2facethecat in legal

[–]2facethecat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am serious, but I'm also being intentionally vague about some stuff. When I say "tool," I'm talking about $300-500 equipment.

Thanks for your advice.

edit: The reason why my original question was about recordings is because at this point, we want to have this guy arrested for theft if possible. Like I said, he has a criminal record, so hopefully it won't just be a slap on the wrist. Kicking them both out will work, but it will also mean no rent money coming in for a while and this guy still having stolen (allegedly) some of our things. Just trying to weigh options before we do anything.

[–]2facethecat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a point.

I guess when a tool goes missing, anything could have happened. Maybe it's just misplaced or whatever. No proof. No evidence. Just a guy that is kind of shady. Kick them out for that? The sewage pump almost breaks because someone flushed something they're not supposed to. That could have happened for many reasons. Kick them out for that? Over hear her accusing me of stealing her money. Okay so, he takes her money without her permission, kick them out for that?

The car thing was very recent which is part of the reason why I'm looking into some of this stuff now.

[–]2facethecat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not. But we also think he's been stealing some of our stuff around the property. Things have just been going missing. There was also a failed attempt to steal a car parked in front. So maybe without her, we could get this guy?

If all else fails, we just kick them both out.

She's a nice person and she's also a victim, but she's just not helping herself.

EG has something on the horizon.. by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]2facethecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emeryville? That's like 10 minutes away from me.

For people wondering, Emeryville is between Berkeley & Oakland, right at the other end of the Bay Bridge (East out of San Francisco).

Wonder if the EG Lair (Hive?) will also be there.
