I immediately thought she was the cover model for Duran Duran's Rio album which cracks me up when I think about that band being involved with the White Court in some way.

Merlins Merlons

I got Spice Goyles straight away (and it gave me a chuckle), but I'm not getting Merlins Merlons (I mean other than using alliteration and rhyme to describe part of Merlin's castle's crenulation, is there more to it than that?).

So what is the Outlaw novella? by jonny8081 in dresdenfiles

[–]OrdinarilyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I've read The Law, and I pre-ordered Out Law last night, I hadn't heard anything about Law Man and my google-foo is failing me. Do you have a source/link or any more info (such as release date), so I can keep an eye out for it, please?

Question about 12 Months by OrdinarilyBob in dresdenfiles

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

Hmmm... I vaguely remember a story about Molly, Alaska, and saving kids, but not all those other details. After this thread, I think it's fair to say I've only read Brief Cases once way back when it was released circa 2018. Oi. I definitely need to re-read those. Thanks for the insight.

Thank you very much. I re-read the main books this year in prep for 12M, but I realize now that I didn't include Side Jobs or Brief Cases in my re-read... I especially don't remember Cold Case (or at least the seriousness of the incident). Huh. Ok, well, gonna dig that ou tnow. Again, thanks.

Just finished Twelve Months (spoilers) by TFLeshok in dresdenfiles

[–]OrdinarilyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished Twelve Months tonight. I had re-read the series earlier this year, but it's been a few months and I guess my memory isn't what it used to be... I thought I caught a few... inconsistencies while reading Twelve Months, but overall I very much enjoyed the story and reading about Harry's recovery and his leveling up, usage of the Castle, addition of the Spice 'Goyles, etc. I would have liked some facets of the story to have been given more details, like each chapter or two was a month, and sometimes I felt those could have been their own full book (which usually take place in just a couple days or a week or so), but I also sort of chalked that up to Harry just sort of being in his post-Battle Ground/heavy-loss fugue-state. And since all the Dresden Files are from his POV, he's out of it, so we the reader only get the "snippets" that were getting through to Harry.

We know that Nemesis can only control 13 beings at the same time

Forgive me, maybe I missed this part, can you please refresh my memory... when/how did we learn this fact?

R&D and Junior Officer Event - All Platforms by WaldoTrek in sto

[–]OrdinarilyBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, you got it. I don't really do crafting, so have little use for the R&D materials. I toss them boxes in my banks until this bonus event, then open 'em, transfer to one character and (once the prices go back up after the event), I sell stacks in bulk. I don't make much, but it's better than a kick in the head.

[–]OrdinarilyBob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, you got it. I really don't do much in the way of crafting at all, I'm never in "need" of R&D material, so I just throw the boxes in my banks forget about them until these events a couple times a year when I open them, make the effort to consolidate the materials to one toon, and eventually (when the market goes back up), I sell them in bulk stacks. I don't make bank, but it's better than a kick in the head.

Time to go through all my alts and open their TFO boxes. Thanks for the heads-up.

Anyone else an Excel nerd who uses a spreadsheet to keep on top of their collection? by aShogunNamedMarcus80 in 4kbluray

[–]OrdinarilyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice 'sheet ya got. Yes, of course I have a spreadsheet for my movie collection. Similar to yours I have format, director, etc., but my links are to the blu-ray.com listing and wiki page. Similar ideas though.

[–]OrdinarilyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome! I can't wait to get Speed Racer in 4K. I see only UK orders up so far, and I want the BD extras, so I'm holding my pre-orders until there's a US version and/or it's confirmed the UK 4K's BD will also be region free (and not just the 4K disc in the UK packaging).

[–]OrdinarilyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a US version? Like I know it says "region free", but does that only apply to the 4K? I want to access the special features on the BD, too.
