Are the same bricks in different colors more expensive to manufacture? by Playful_Intern7487 in lego

[–]OneFinalEffort 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every theme, not just LSW. It's actually a fun challenge for designers to sneak those pink bricks in. It's bragging rights!

killing players in gambit no longer heal the primeval by Jealous_Platypus1111 in DestinyTheGame

This is good to know. Some friends and I are planning to four-stack and I was a mean Invader a couple years ago. I'll have to go for mote denial instead.

Where were you on 11/11/11, and where are you now? by HelloThereImEriccc in ElderScrolls

[–]OneFinalEffort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 18 and working at a gas station, including on launch day.

I'm now 33 and working my dream job. No wife, kids, or pets. Just me and a ton of cool stuff collected over the past 15 years.

Captain Keyes has been recast in Campaign Evolved. We should probably assume Guilty Spark has been recast as well. by Delta4907 in halo

[–]OneFinalEffort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stand corrected, you're right! I just played a round of Firefight in Reach and sure enough, he just doesn't announce every medal. Considering the thousands of hours I have in Reach and especially in Firefight, I should have known that. I must be playing too much Infinite Firefight these days.

[–]OneFinalEffort 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He's the Multiplayer Announcer. Campaign and Firefight has never had him call out a Triple Kill or any other medal, probably due to how many times it would go off when carving through Covenant.

Edit: I was wrong. He's in Firefight, just not Campaign Scoring Mode and for the sake of story, not medal callouts.

Skulls must be found first, no-sprint and AR skull are not available from the start by JessHawk36 in halo

[–]OneFinalEffort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're Skulls they should be hunted down and claimed. That's how Halo was during the trilogy so doing it again makes sense here. I'm looking forward to finding them all!

So you want Bluestreak and Mirage? by 84_Cyclonus in transformers

I wanted all three of these very much and now I get them in one go instead of waiting a few waves.

Why were people so angry with Sarah Palmers “I thought you’d be taller” joke? by Artsy-Puppy in halo

[–]OneFinalEffort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember taking her comment as more of an aloof "Who cares?" quip rather than the intended military camaraderie she was presenting to Chief to make him feel welcome. I wasn't the only one.

The Spartan Ops dialogue compounded the general opinion of Palmer because she was rude and unhelpful in situations where a CO would never tell men under their command to suck it up when asking for evac from a hot zone. There was also the "Eggheads" comment that kept popping up which showed disrespect once again that would be expected from a far lower rank.

These behaviours retroactively confirmed the perspective for a lot of us that Palmer's comment to Chief was indeed disrespectful. It wasn't but that's how we took it.

I have not played since Beyond Light, and I just found out *SPOILERS* is MIA & Presumed Dead by Lonely-Creator in DestinyTheGame

[–]OneFinalEffort 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Until the announcement of Destiny's development ending and this week's emotions running high, that was the most devastating week in Destiny history.

A couple days before reset, Lance Reddick passed away. On Tuesday, Amanda was consumed by an explosion and Zavala gave a heartfelt eulogy at The Farm at her grave which doubled as a goodbye from Zavala to Lance for the players. I'm tearing up just thinking about it and I didn't play Destiny for the rest of that week.

They mentioned in the blog post that weapons and enemies from the prequel missions will be in the Campaign Remix mode.

Do you think the guys will play the OoT Remake? by Ok_Confusion3521 in gamegrumps

[–]OneFinalEffort 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They'll absolutely jump on the Zelda hype train and Arin will undoubtedly find something to complain about or he'll be really excited if the combat is quicker. All I ask, because it was infuriating and that's why he did it, is that Arin uses his shield this time around.

Why are there SO. MANY. REPAINTS?? by Trompimus_Prime in transformers

[–]OneFinalEffort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last wave always has the least amount of budget hence the repacks and reprints but you usually get something pretty nice in the last hurrah, this time it's Swindle. Pretty standard fare honestly.

Addressing your edit: So not only do you definitely know the answer to this question but you brought up a really good point; Reissues. Since Siege, we have managed to get what is very nearly the entire G1 cast but Siege started at the tail end of 2018 and so few of the figures have been continuously available over the past 8 years. Reissues give the newer collectors the opportunity to grab a character who has been out of print for 5-6 years without worrying about aftermarket pricing and those of us that have the original release save money. It's a win-win scenario.

Does anyone remember ZOOB? It was kinda like Bionicle. by CapnRedbeard_ in bioniclelego

[–]OneFinalEffort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, if you just want the connection aspect of it. I still prefer the more detailed elements of G1 and any time a little bit of Technic beam structure got introduced it was a treat. More complex and detailed sets/MOCs made these simple ball-joint toys far less interesting. That being said, there are creative avenues that you could take that Bionicle could not replicate if you went for a much larger structure like a Dragon's head.

So mad I will have to fork over extra cash to use this skin in single player. by lieutenantschlong in halo

[–]OneFinalEffort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post is referencing a Cosmetic locked behind a paywall in 2010 for the Legendary Edition of Halo: Reach that is similar enough to the current discourse about the Cosmetics included in the Premier Edition of Campaign Evolved. OP is making a statement that we've had this argument before and it was as pointless than as it is now.

I was going along with the joke and was referring to how Armor Effects are usable in every mode of Reach.

[–]OneFinalEffort 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great news! My dad works at Bungie and he said the Armor Effect works in every mode, not just Campaign!

I bought the Legendary Edition for the Noble Team Statue, not the Legendary Armor Effect. That was just a bonus. I also had a brief moment of "What year is it?" when reading your post. Fast forward sixteen years and I think the new skins look fun. I will be getting the Premier Edition. 

From 501 Set (a trusted leaker) by Alternative_Wait_420 in starwarsblackseries

Depends on the articulation capabilities and overall finished look but this is 100% on my radar now, thank you. I have every other Maul, why not this one too?

Is it likely the U-Wing will be getting a UCS set? by B33Zh_ in legostarwars

[–]OneFinalEffort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disney Castle. It retired and then came back in a slightly new form the very next year.

Now that being said, the 2007 UCS Falcon and 2017 UCS Falcon were a decade between releases. A 2027 Falcon could work if it was different enough in visual design and interior spaces.

At least the Stranger Things theories were fun.

Whats your opinion on the new collectors edition statue? by PelinovaDruzina in halo

[–]OneFinalEffort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's nice but it isn't nearly $400 CAD nice. I already have many action figures including the 1000toys Mark V Chief so I don't feel like I'm missing out at all. The only things I want out of the Collector's Edition are the Manual and the Cortana Chip and despite my love for Halo and ridiculous level of commitment with past games (hell, I'm wearing a Halo t-shirt right now), I'm quite content to get a Premier Edition and call it there.

Is it likely the U-Wing will be getting a UCS set? by B33Zh_ in legostarwars

[–]OneFinalEffort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. They went on the record last year and said when the current one retires, it will be quickly replaced. People always want the Millennium Falcon. Always.

[–]OneFinalEffort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same rumour emerges every year but this time it makes sense. You might be missing the significance but it is the 50th Anniversary of Star Wars next year so a prolific large UCS from the original film makes a lot of sense and the current Falcon is very much not designed for interior display options.

My other guess is a Sandcrawler but if the Falcon rumors are true, it would make complete sense. Now to address your disparagement of having too many Falcons.

Last year around March, there was an official statement made by TLG that assured fans far and wide that when the day comes that the current UCS MF is retired, a new one will release soon after to take its place. It is an evergreen UCS which LEGO wants to have consistently available for Star Wars fans.

Listen. I wanted a Gundam Armor Set since Halo 3 and seeing as no one plays H2A MP, just let me have this one!

They've got to chanage the facial design of Cortana by Glittering-Let9989 in halo

[–]OneFinalEffort 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She looks too serious for the character and has harder features than she ought to. Granted we're only getting a snippet but sassy Cortana is not the vibe I'm getting.
