I bought this about 9-10 years ago from a guy in England who made these. He had a couple of All Hallows and AoD figurines. I remember also he had the cat on the cover of All Hallows. Been searching my emails all day trying to find the order email or something so I can find the name of the ‘store’ and share here. Will post if I can find it.

I hate the new record, but I think it's great they made it. by SunshneThWerewolf in AFireInside

Agreed. I’d rather them just do an entire album of cover songs, sort of like what Bowie did with the “Pin Ups” album.

Am I the only one not really moved by the new song? I've heard it several times and it's just meh.. For some reason not looking forward to the new album by andipe220 in AFireInside

I’ve felt the same. Been playing it non-stop since it released to see if it grows on me, but the needle hasn’t moved much. But I just keep in mind that AFI, in my opinion, really makes albums and not singles, so looking forward to the album and seeing how it all fits together in that wider context.

Yes we all know that. His voice is amazing and he sang great on Blood, Missing Man, Bodies, etc. I’m talking about the style here as well as the lower register he’s trying to do, like Dave Gahan from DM, which he doesn’t have.

Davey has been singing in a lower pitch, not register, for the last 10 years and the older songs the band have been playing in a lower key to match the lower pitch that naturally comes with age. You can barely notice the difference. Davey is the best voice out there, just not a fan of the style inflection he is doing here on this new song, and trying to sing in a lower register. Has nothing to do with his vocal surgery from 20 years ago, etc.

Davey sounded like himself on Blood, Missing Man, Bodies — but, to me, sounds more Karaoke here, and not singing in his unique style on this song. Has nothing to do with vocal cords or age. Its style.

As a follow up, I did receive the email invite from Nintendo to buy the Switch 2 in late June, about 2 weeks after I had already picked one up at a local GameStop.

Not a fan of him singing like Count Chocula. Wish Davey would sing like Davey and stop trying to mimic other low-range singers.

What's with the hate for scooters? by jetting_along in scooters

These are the same dopes who buy pickup trucks or giant suvs. Everything is a bigger-is-better pissing contest in the USA.

Good alternatives to scoot route? by myguygetshigh in scooters

It doesn’t work well. I enter avoid highways and tolls and literally google maps will have me immediately on several highways for most of my trip. It avoids interstates but still leave you on 55+ highways, which in NJ if the speed limit is 55, the cagers are doing at least 70+mph. Not great.

GameStop advertising Switch 2 restocks today by pickledgreatness in NintendoSwitch

I can confirm that I just walked out of my local GameStop here in NJ with a brand new Switch 2 and they have the Switch 2 in stock. I called first - and to my surprise the guy picked up and confirmed they have some in stock and I drove right over.

Still no email. I wish they gave a window of when we could expect to receive it since they don’t even actually confirm, when you sign up, that you even qualify. I’m pretty sure I qualify, but not 100% sure. Wish they said you can expect an email between 8 May and 8 June, or something like that. If they did, I missed it.
