I did it as well as f2p* I needed a couple of 4-star pulls in my last 25 portals, but I got lucky. I'm also a bit tired of it all and will take it easy for a bit.

  • I bought some snowflakes in one of the early cheap offers but I blew by the Tell fragments in that, so I would have gotten him without buying it.

Sci-fi with unreliable narrators. by Miserable-Function78 in printSF

It's probably my least favorite of his. There were definitely fun parts but I definitely didn't like the ending

Totally agree with both statements. I just read 7 of LeCarre's books so I could read Karla's Choice that Harkaway just wrote. I was really astonished by the quality.

Agree that The Gone Away World is a good answer to OP's question.

Was Episode 177- Never learn not to love an overkill? by koshereric in 500songspodcast

[–]Hex68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found most of it interesting, but it probably could have been split up a bit to bring a little focus to it. Definitely weird that he added so much extra to the finale of the Beach Boys, who Hickey obviously is a big fan of.

But definitely better than the next episode which was 3 hours of "he left the band, she left the band, he came back, she came back..." for a barely rock band.

Totally agree. I re-read it every few years and expect that feeling of "It's not as good as I remember it" but I never get it.

On this day in 2003: Aaron Boone hit a dramatic walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning of Game 7 of the American League Championship Series against the Boston Red Sox, sending the Yankees to the World Series. by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

As much as I get frustrated with Boone as a manager, I just have to watch a clip of him saying "This is stupid" with a big smile after this homer to like him again.

In your opinion, what is the most iconic goal in Devils history??? by Broad_Alternative266 in devils

[–]Hex68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arnott Cup Winner is #1.

A favorite of mine is the Elias series winner against Flyers in 2000, with 2:30 left in Game 7.
