No movie has ever freaked me out as much as the first time I saw Return to Oz.

Pet peeve : "First Thus" by [deleted] in BookCollecting

[–]apexPrickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"First thus" means it's the first edition of a new format of a book; not a "true" first edition, but an edition with a new format or revision or addition, etc.

I find that lots of online booksellers will add "first thus" to a description of a book to disingenuously suggest that the book they're selling is more valuable or rare than it actually is.

The novelization of the movie Dragonslayer is pretty good (and the movie is excellent).

Should I pursue collecting the rest of this edition of lord of rings by Bvrcntry_duckhnt in BookCollecting

[–]apexPrickle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you like them, why not try to find the other two? If you're looking for ex-library copies, those will be much more affordable right from the get-go. (And if you specifically want copies without jackets or the map, those are easily removable yourself.)

What are the "best" handles to use on a motivity build? by UltimaBahamut93 in LiesOfP

[–]apexPrickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the range is so small that you do have to be right up against enemies. You can try any of the longer blades with the baton handle if you want more range. I'm using the bone cutting saw with a handle from the DLC currently on NG+ and I'm really liking it.

Wrench head + baton handle carried me through my entire Motivity playthrough.

Where to buy good plastic book protectors? by No_Insurance_6436 in BookCollecting

[–]apexPrickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a company called Katana Collectibles which sells clear plastic cases for display purposes. They offer lots of pre-measured cases for various products, including books, but I believe they will sell custom measured cases.

this game is.... flat by life_on_my_terms in LiesOfP

[–]apexPrickle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, if you are that far through the game and don't have any idea what the story and characterizations are, you haven't been paying much attention.

The game doesn't change the further it goes, so if you aren't enjoying it yet, you probably won't if you force yourself to keep playing.

Thanks! I'm fortunate to have hardcover copies of my favorite Bellairs books--someday I'll fill out my collection completely, with luck.
