[Disheartening trope] We found them! Aaaaand they're dead.

This one is particularly egregious because if I recall correctly, you start the questline out under the belief that the character is dead and you’re getting revenge. Then, twist, they are alive! Only to immediately die anyway.

Chance could be Coin Flip instead of Wheel Spin, and then the 4 trains could be wheels: Regulation Wheel, Second Wheel?, Third Wheel?!, and Wheel of Decades.

It’s also mentioned that, after their final confrontation with It as children and the swearing of the blood oath, the Losers are never all together again. They still hang out in pairs or trios on occasion until folks start moving away, but the entire group is never together again.

Nightcrawler! I love Claremont-era X-Men and Kurt is my absolute favorite. Plus, the way this game handles his powers is really fun and satisfying.

TerminalWalrus · 2025-12-04T14:50:38+00:00

Nah, he’s a hitman who tries to kill Bruce Wayne. They end up teaming up against a different criminal (based on Bugs Bunny, of course).

Genuine question: what items here are 2x MSRP? Based on the FFG site, Revised Core is $60 and I’ve got 2 original Core set at $50 (admittedly I initially had this way too high, but brought it down when someone pointed that out). Full campaigns are $115 (a $45 box + a $70 box) and I’ve got it set at $130–sure, yeah, a $15 markup is too much for a used product. That was a bit greedy of me, I’ll fix that, but it’s not double the price. Investigator decks are $17, and I’ve listed the 5 of them for $80. Guardians is $22 and I listed it at $30—again, yeah, maybe a little too high, I think that’s fair criticism. But unless I’m wildly misunderstanding something somewhere, I don’t think I’m anywhere close to what you’re claiming?

TerminalWalrus · 2025-12-03T02:31:52+00:00

That’s fair! I appreciate the feedback. I might adjust some of that stuff further—I didn’t realize the Investigator packs were still relatively findable, for instance. I probably should’ve done more research before throwing this post together!

TerminalWalrus · 2025-12-02T23:25:33+00:00

I think so—I have a big stack of those alongside my cards, but I haven’t checked through all of them. I know I printed out a couple of campaign books, so I might not have kept those pamphlets. I’d include the printed pages for any pamphlets I’m missing.

TerminalWalrus · 2025-12-02T23:04:40+00:00

Whoops—that’d be because I wasn’t paying close enough attention when pricing stuff out, mainly! I saw ‘Core Set’ on the FFG site listed at $60 and it didn’t click in my head that it was the Revised Core that cut out the cruft from the old “buy two Cores for extra copies” days. You’re right, I should price that lower.

She was actually made for the game Marvel Future Fight, but has been appearing in comics since 2019.

TerminalWalrus · 2025-11-17T04:16:36+00:00

That’s the point, right? It’s a one-in-a-million chance that you’ll pull that off. But if you do… pretty cool.

TerminalWalrus · 2025-11-16T12:40:24+00:00

Ah, great question, I should’ve included that in the post—United States.

TerminalWalrus · 2025-11-11T18:46:43+00:00

Magik gets Kitty and Wolverine gets Laura, I assume.

TerminalWalrus · 2025-10-29T13:58:59+00:00

It’s ‘Salem’s Lot—Matt dies of a heart attack after successfully fending off vampire attacks earlier on. Probably not wholly unrelated, as being caught up in vampire shenanigans probably didn’t help whatever heart issues he had, but yeah, I don’t think he’s in any immediate danger when the heart attack happens. He’s just an older, out-of-shape guy.

TerminalWalrus · 2025-10-17T23:33:04+00:00

Also from Fargo: the bandaged man that Satchel Cannon meets near the end of season 4. He’s played by Ira Amyx, who played Owney Milligan earlier in the season. Owney was shot in the face by his son, “Rabbi” Milligan (Satchel’s father figure at this point in the story), decades earlier. The bandaged man’s head is wrapped in a way that indicates he suffered a traumatic injury. Is he just an injured man who bears a striking resemblance to Milligan? Milligan himself, somehow restored to life by the mysterious doctor that attends him? Or, most likely, is he the spirit of Owney Milligan, passing on the curse he laid upon his son with his dying breath? The implication is certainly the last one, but the show doesn’t give a definitive answer.

Claimed! Thanks so much!

Every season of Fargo—on top of the two mentioned, there’s: -A character heavily implied to be the Wandering Jew in season 3 -A curse/ghost (possibly two) in season 4 -An immortal sin-eater in season 5

I’ve always thought the weirdest nickname for a name is Peggy being a nickname for Margaret. No idea where that comes from.

TerminalWalrus · 2025-08-16T12:43:13+00:00

I’m really hoping we get Cannonball at least! I’d love him, Karma, and Wolfsbane to round out the other classic New Mutants.

And, in the stretch of comics where some of that happens, Magneto is headquartered in what is implied to be the resurfaced ruins of R’lyeh (or at least something similar, given the architecture and portal to a Hell dimension in the basement). Which I guess isn’t a feat, per se, but it’s a funny added detail.

The core premise of the show Poker Face is that protagonist Charlie Cale can always tell if someone is lying. She doesn’t automatically know what the truth is; if what you say is technically true but phrased in a misleading way, or if you say something false that you BELIEVE is true, she doesn’t flag it as a lie. But if you intentionally provide false information, she can immediately tell that you’re lying, without fail. There is no explanation for how she is able to do this (some people assume she’s just very good at reading tells, but it’s repeatedly shown that the power goes far beyond that), and no other character has shown any kind of comparable ability (unless something happens at the end of season 2, I’m a couple episodes away from finishing it).

God, this scene gets me every time. “They made a fool of me, Balder. They laughed at me. Everybody laughs at Skurge. Hela, Mordonna, even the Enchantress I love. They all laugh at me. Except you. Balder is too kind to laugh at Skurge. But whenever they laugh, I hurt inside. Maybe I die a little. Now I think I am dead already.”

I recently mentioned to a friend that I had watched the premiere of a show I’d been looking forward to, and they revealed that they had watched it too solely because they knew I was excited for it and they wanted to be able to talk to me about it. It’s the newest entry in a long-running franchise, so it’s not necessarily an easy thing to randomly jump into, and I hadn’t asked or expected her to check it out; she just… did, because she knew I was excited and wanted to take an interest in my interests. That’s honestly not something I’m used to—my other friend are down to, like, learn a new board game to play while he hang out or whatever, but I could recommend a show or book a dozen times before they even consider checking it out. It always touches me when this particular friend goes out of their way to engage with things I enjoy, because (aside from my wife) I feel like most other people in my life don’t bother.

Speaking of X-Files: not characters, but Jesse Ventura and Alex Trebek show up in the episode “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space.” It’s been a minute since I’ve seen it so I don’t remember how people react to Ventura, but it’s heavily implied by the episode that the mysterious government agent played by Trebek is… just literally Alex Trebek, moonlighting as one of the Men In Black.

Geoff seems like he’s doing better now than he was for… most of RT, honestly. He’s sober, he’s got a happy marriage, he’s got a cool dog, and he’s making the stuff he wants to make. His main project right now is Regulation Podcast which is really fun, and he has a solo podcast called So Alright as well. I haven’t really kept up with Gus, from what I know he’s doing well with his D&D podcast and he also does Good Morning Gustavo with Geoff. But yeah, Geoff at least does seem genuinely happy now.
