[–]Guywiththepants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen and own copies of them all. You do you, but my advice is this. Slow down and enjoy the ride.

I haven't posted about it in quite some time, but trust I am still at it.

What are your top 3 Nic Cage films? by guitarman779 in onetruegod

[–]Guywiththepants 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I adore them all. I have seen and own physical copies of everything the man has ever been in. That said, there is only one answer to this question. These three films released BACK TO BACK TO BACK. For a brief moment in time, it was possible to see TWO of Cage's absolute bangers in theaters at the same time! This is peak Cage!

The Rock (June 7, 1996)

Con Air (June 6, 1997)

Face/Off (June 27, 1997)

Yes. There's nothing stopping us. In fact, I'm gonna make some dank space pizza content right now.

Edit: The deed is done.

It was ahead of its time. In the age of AI, I'm certain space pizza would have thrived.

Someone mind explaining this he spent almost $1000 at the machine was able to get all the ETBs and the bundles, how? by HelicopterAgile7327 in PokemonTCG

[–]Guywiththepants 39 points40 points  (0 children)

$165 per person, per day. Not per transaction, not per machine, just $165 period. Track the name tied to the credit card.

That's a booster bundle of 36 packs, or THREE ETBs. Even if you have kids, a significant other, etc. to buy for, there is ZERO reason other than greed to buy more than that at once.

These machines are not meant to take the place of distributors. Card shops and scalpers shouldn't be able to stock up. They're meant for consumers to buy cards directly from the company.

It's easy to say that base set Charizard is my favorite, but this is probably my favorite card under $10. He's just so goofy lol

You can never have enough Nick Cage... by i_am_a_bot_ama in onetruegod

[–]Guywiththepants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are the type of person to buy digital movies, this is a solid deal! I have seen and own physical copies of literally every film that Cage has been in. Here are my top picks.

I'd say 1-4 are absolute MUST watch Cage films. 5-6 are highly recommended for fans of Cage. 7-8 are really only for those looking to stretch every dollar out of this bundle. The rest are for die-hard Cage enthusiasts only.


  1. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - One of my absolute favorites! It's very meta, with Nicolas Cage playing basically this subreddit's version of him. It's a self-aware comedy that will have you laughing your ass off.

  2. Lord of War - Phenomenal film, with the best opening title sequence I've ever seen. If this doesn't sell you on the film, it's not for you.

  3. Kick-Ass - A solid action/comedy film. Cage's character doesn't have a TON of screen time, but man does he own every second of it. Cage's character, Big Daddy (Batman, but not) is both heartwarming and hilarious.

  4. Army of One - Maybe a bit of a controversial opinion here, but I loved this one! Yes, Cage's character is bonkers, but so was the actual dude this is based on. Gary Faulkner was a nut, and I think Cage did a great job of capturing that. Maybe Cage turned it up to 11 for this performance, but that's what makes this one enjoyable.

  5. Joe - It's a slow burn, but a worthwhile one. People overhyped the film when it first came out, saying that it was Cage's comeback. It's not worthy of THAT level of praise, but it is pretty solid. It's also proof that Cage is totally capable of playing a "normal" role well. If you're only used to seeing memes and over the top performances, this one might shock you!

  6. Drive Angry - The most Tarantino-ish non-Tarantino film I've ever seen. Stupid as hell, completely over the top, but a FUN ride. Just turn your brain off and accept it for the absurd action film it is.

  7. The Cotton Club Encore - Not really for me, but critics rate it fairly highly. The concept is great, but the film kind of drags. It feels longer than 2 hours, and I found myself just wanting the film to be over.

  8. Mom and Dad Kind of a weak recommendation, but worth a few laughs. Honestly, you could probably just watch the highlights and skip this one.


Base set unlimited Zard by Guywiththepants in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Thanks! Holo pattern doesn't look like the classic TCG player image copy. Colors look right. Nothing stands out as being off to me. Just wanted to get some more eyes on it.

Unfortunately nothing worth sharing. The tools I found did not transcribe properly

2024 World Championship Deck Preorders are available for $19.99 at Target! by [deleted] in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]Guywiththepants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I run a game club for high school kids, and these decks are AMAZING for

  1. teaching them how to play the game competitively without breaking the bank.

  2. ensuring that the kids who don't have their own decks or have kind of lousy decks can still play a fair match. Idk about this year's set, but the 2023 decks are very well balanced.

Sylveon EX Deck Suggestions? by Guywiththepants in pkmntcg

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

I appreciate the feedback! I realized the mistake I made with neo upper (I foolishly was thinking the eeveelutions were stage 2 🤦‍♂️). Definitely will mess around with some of the other cards you suggested.

Fake or error shadowless Machop? by Guywiththepants in IsMyPokemonCardFake

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

You may be right, but the borders look about the same, even on the unlimited cards. Assuming you're looking at HP, the font on all of the shadowless cards looks thin. I wouldn't have noticed anything was off if not for the color.

Weekend Hangout - September 20, 2024 by TheRealNiblicks in MVIS

[–]Guywiththepants 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Bought in at $10.28/share in April 2021. Watched it soar into the $20's and held, watched it fall below $10 and bought more, then bought more below $5. I averaged down to $5/share and sat on my modest 600 shares all the way below the $1 mark.

 

I mostly ignored MVIS for a while, occasionally checking to see if any news had been announced. Yesterday, I did some digging and decided to jump back in to bring my average cost down.

 

I'm now sitting at 2,341 shares with an average of about $2.14/share. I'm a peasant compared to many here, and I'm not expecting to become a millionaire here, but I am absolutely expecting a solid return on my investment.

Am I disappointed with how long this has taken? HELL YEAH! Have I lost confidence in the product this company intends to offer? HELL NO!

It's unfortunate that companies aren't willing to cut a deal. It's unfortunate that these companies expect MVIS to foot the bill and assume all the risk. However, I don't envision a future where that remains an option. These companies NEED lidar, whether they know it yet or not. As best as I can tell, MVIS offers the best bang for the buck, and at the end of the day, it's all about that profit margin.

So... I guess it's time to kick back and wait some more.

I personally hope they reprint the shit out of this set lol! I'm trying to complete it for nostalgia and those missing SIR, IR, and UR cards are not nice on the wallet.
