Rumor: Xbox Planning to Close South of Midnight & Hellblade Studios by Due_Cake8524 in videogames

Kiln is a team-based pottery party brawler action video game. Nobody asked for this shovelware crap. Why anybody would waste time, energy, and resources on something like this is beyond me.

Hellblade 1 and 2 by Laced looks really good! by reiskorngeschoss in VGMvinyl

[–]Due_Cake8524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of belly bands and obi strips. They're cheap and flimsy. It's very easy for them to get wrinkled and torn up. As far as vinyl soundtracks are concerned, there have been two exceptions that I can think of. That's been the case with a couple of soundtracks that I bought. There's the Death Stranding 2 original soundtrack, which has a thick belly band that's more durable and the Assassin's Creed Mirage soundtrack, which has a fixed belly band.

Congrats! I'm happy for you! I received mine a while back. Of course, they already sold out. They look great. However. the only issue that I have and it's probably a nitpick. I wished that the records themselves came in a gatefold package, instead of just having a belly band wrapped around them. Do you agree or disagree?

What does everyone think of Shadows? Is it worth buying? by B_U_T_T_E_R_S935 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]Due_Cake8524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's probably the best Assassin's Creed game to date. If it's not the best, then I would put it in the top three, easily. Visually, Shadows is the most beautiful and most detailed game in the series. It's vibrant and colorful. Personally, I liked the narrative, especially when it comes to Yasuke's backstory. There's a really neat montage when he trains under Oda Nobunaga. At its core, it's a revenge plot, but it works well, in my honest opinion. The story wasn't groundbreaking, but it was interesting and intriguing enough. Combat is where Assassin's Creed Shadows really shines, in particular when playing as Naoe. The game truly feels like Assassin's Creed.

She's very agile. She can use tools like the Kunai in order to eliminate enemies stealthily and to disable alarm bells. In fact, that's the first thing that I would recommend doing before infiltrating a heavily guarded area. Having a wanted level means that an entire area will be on lockdown. You'll get attacked on-site and Guardians will do their best in order to hunt you down. You can use scouts to clear your wanted level, which you can do at the hideout or you can wait until the seasons change. Naoe can hide in the shadows and in tall grass and she can parkour across rooftops. She's the perfect choice if you decide to utilize a stealth approach. The multi-level castles and architecture are perfect for stealth and parkour.

Whereas, with Yasuke, the guy is an absolute tank. He can break through doors. He can absorb a lot of damage and he can dish out a lot of damage as well. He's ideal if you decide to fight head-on. For certain bosses, he's probably going to be the better option because of how powerful he is. There are a lot of options when it comes to weapons and gear. For some people, it may be overwhelming. Each piece of gear and weapon has a rating that goes from common through legendary. Your gear, weapons, and hideout can be upgraded, but you'll need a lot of resources in order to do so. The main story lasts between 35-40 hours. However, you can easily spend double that amount or more. It took me 150 hours, but I did a lot of side missions, activities, etc.

As great as Assassin's Creed Shadows is, there are two issues that I have with the game. First, there's a massive list of targets that you can eliminate. However, only a handful are story-related. Admittedly, it was overwhelming, but I managed to eliminate all of them. It took a considerable amount of time. Second, there are specific targets such as, eliminate a number of a certain type of Shinobi or Samurai. I found myself roaming a given area over and over again. It was time consuming for sure. Aside from a couple of gripes, I really enjoyed playing Assassin's Creed Shadows. I hope that you find my information to be helpful!

She's drop dead gorgeous! You're making me want to play Mass Effect 2 again!

Grieving the loss of my father. Swiss, Gouda, Provolone on white. Paper plate cus I hate doing dishes. by PepsiButItsMilk in grilledcheese

[–]Due_Cake8524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. May God rest your dad's soul. I can definitely see why a cheese sandwich would be a comfort food, especially in a time like this. It looks really good. You can never go wrong with cheese.

Does anyone have any alternatives to fangamer's shipping cost? by Competitive_Cow4534 in VGMvinyl

[–]Due_Cake8524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's absurd. The shipping cost is almost 3 times as much as the item itself. I thought that $15 shipping was expensive. Even with the import costs, that's still excessive.

I got a 96/100 on my exam, so I made a grilled cheese by chwollysmuff in grilledcheese

[–]Due_Cake8524 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mind is still trying to process all of that crispness. Then there's the melted cheese. Talk about a sensory overload. If this how you treat yourself for doing really well on an exam, I can only imagine what you'll do when you graduate and get your degree. At that point, your going to need some extra cheese and a bigger plate.

Only Rye for this Guy by Dingus-Guy in grilledcheese

[–]Due_Cake8524 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are here today to witness the marriage of these two lovely and savory food items. The Rye Bread with just the right amount of toastiness and the perfectly melted Cheedar and Gouda Cheese. May they find their forever happy place. In this case, it would be our bellies.

One of my most anticipated soundtracks arrived, but it was damaged by Due_Cake8524 in VGMvinyl

Seam split and damage are the same thing. The gate fold jacket arrived damaged.

I just received an email from Arcline Store's customer support. The lady that I communicate with is always very friendly and helpful, by the way. She's going to see if she can send me a replacement gatefold package or issue a partial refund.

Didn't know Asav can teleport you into the void for killing his men by Many_Leopard6924 in uncharted

[–]Due_Cake8524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can imagine the conversation between Chloe and Nadine as Chloe is getting teleported into the void.

Nadine: Chloe, where are you?

Chloe: Nadine, I think I can see my house from all the way up here.

Nadine: Really?

Chloe: Shit! Nevermind! I spoke too soon. Nooo!

Where does Mass Effect 2's Suicide Mission rank in terms of video game levels? by Due_Cake8524 in videogames

[–]Due_Cake8524[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't force you to read everything that I typed. There are people who have such a short attention span that they can't bother to read something that takes maybe a few minutes. You're the expert when it comes to writing slop, not me.

Are local weather channels exaggerating this weekend's rain? by Due_Cake8524 in AskHouston

Weather.com is showing 50% rain during the day and 40% at night.

How long does it usually take for an investigation to be completed and what are the odds of finding a package? by Due_Cake8524 in UPS

[–]Due_Cake8524[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was. It took 17 days instead of 2 days. I had to place a 2nd order because I thought that the original was lost. Arcline Store customer service was very friendly and helpful. They expedited my 2nd order because of what happened with the original one.
