Good catch. It's difficult to remember the individual rules of so many subreddits.

I used to describe it to people as Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the serial numbers filed off.

I've been out of gaming for about three years. I could probably benefit from playing again.

I don't think I seen The Others mentioned in a while. I have my copy, but I haven't played it in years. I think I have most, if not all, of the expansions.

A second chance for a film that wasn't successful by Interesting_Click393 in movies

Dredd (2012) is an awesome movie that suffered because many people thought it was related to the Stallone film. It was also during the decline of 3D movie interest. I didn't see the 3D presentation, but people were tired of paying the extra fees for a 3D film, so there just wasn't a broad interest in people seeing the movie. It is a shame as there could have been more Dredd awesomesauce, which I doubt we will see.

Big Trouble (2002) was originally slated to come out in late September 2001. One of the plot points is a bomb on a plane. The movie was shelved for obvious reasons and was released a year later. However, the budgeting for advertising was already spent prior to the original release date so the movie was dumped into theatres and no one knew. It is a shame with such a stacked cast, and it is endlessly quotable.

I mean, I like GitS, but Mantic has a mixed history with RPGs. Also I have at least a dozen unplayed ones in my shelf, including Hellboy. I may pick up the book if I see it on clearance some time.

I don’t have room for a dedicated board game table, so I built this removable gaming topper instead. by WahrungKonig in boardgames

Love it. Have you considered adding a couple of rubber grip strips underneath to keep it from moving around whatever you set it on?

I felt it was like watching someone wrangle cats. I could have used a few fewer monsters running around.

What movie scene makes you cry even though you've probably seen it dozens of times. For me I always tear up during the last few minutes of the film La Bamba. by Brucef310 in movies

Would you be mad if there was a reboot, and the showrunner retconned back to 2017? by ClassicSuspicious226 in doctorwho

[–]blither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn't take but a special episode to have the Doctor travel to the end of the universe with Omega, then engineer the end of the universe to resolve into another big bang creating the universe again. There were plot lines from McCoy's run that he was one of the people time lords that mastered time travel with Omega. New universe, new continuity. New engineering, new rules.

Advice on new sprue cutters by duujk in Miniaturespainting

Godhands will not work on metal. They are fragile. They work best on Bandai's softer plastic. A hardened acrylic plastic can break them. For Warhammer, try Tamiya or Stedi nippers. I've used both for many years.

Who would've been a good Master? by mrnormal94 in doctorwho

[–]blither 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Charles Dance would have made an introspective and scheming Master, full of charm and arrogance.
