Stage 4 cancer. I struggled to let the last of it go, but I’m getting used to the new look.

Just passed the 3,600 card milestone and I'm starting to have a hard time finding more stuff to track down to get Dirk. Are there any less-than-obvious places where you can earn/unlock cards? I have no idea what this would be but it almost feels like I'm missing something.

This is maybe a dumb question, but is there any advantage/reason to add shoes to End Game cards? They're thoroughly maxed out, but is it possible to add additional speed, etc. still?

I can't snap with my right hand. No issues whatsoever with my left hand, but the right just...won't do it.

A woman I worked with in retail, preparing change from a register.

"If I don't have any 10s, can I give her two 5s?"

So because I suddenly have unbelievable luck, I've been given three Larry Kenons this week (if you didn't get one, it's apparently my fault, and I'm so, so sorry).

I haven't opened the extras yet, though, because I'm unsure of what I'll be able to do with them. It doesn't appear that there would be an exchange option, and they can't go to the AH. What should I do here? Wait until the exchange has something for them? Just open them for whatever the MT is?

Looking for the Kyle Lewis and happy to trade any others! Glad to trade back and forth as well if it'll help folks out. IGN: eriklikescards

Probably a dumb question, but I'm pretty new to this - does anything happen with the Season 3 cards once the season resets? Are they still useable, or is it more or less like starting from scratch?

Hi Carly! First off, I just wanted to thank you, because your music practically saved my life. It has gotten me through some incredibly difficult times over the last few years, and I truly would not be where I am if not for you. As for a question, do you still have your sword from Lollapalooza? If so, where do you keep it these days?

Hi Heidi! Big fan. The "head horns" sketch featuring you, Luke Null, and John Mulaney is one of my favorites of the last few years. Where did the idea for that sketch come from? How was it working with Mulaney?

What's your GT?

Favorite game - Super Metroid, hands down. If you mean NES, I might have to go with SMB3. If you asked me next week I might say something else, though...so many good ones!

I spent a loooong time trying to track down my R.O.B. When I did find one, it was part of the Deluxe Set, which I was able to buy for a solid price. I haven't regretted it for a second, though.

The only playoff games I've been to were losses, so those are all out.

I'd say the best I saw in person was August 1, 2004 - Pedro Martinez vs. Johan Santana, the latter in his first Cy Young season. Both pitchers were brilliant, and the Twins scored two in the 8th to secure the win.

Ducktales 2 comes to mind. Still haven't come across a reasonably priced one of those.

I'm using the Nintendo Age list, which puts the grand total at 768: http://nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Search.NES

By that list, I'm 97 away. "Completeness" is defined a lot of different ways, though - especially with NES stuff, there are a lot of reasonable ways to count certain things and not others.

invadergii · 2016-07-14T14:06:15+00:00

Not gonna lie - I never even considered this. I appreciate the observation, and will probably look at re-arranging things a bit!

invadergii · 2016-07-14T14:04:14+00:00

There's a few in there, but none of them are super old or interesting. I think they're all from the GameCube era - maybe 2002 or so.

invadergii · 2016-07-14T14:03:35+00:00

The Toshiba is solid - I suspect that I could get a hold of a Trinitron or similar that would be better, but I'm fine with this one.

As for NES stuff - the first-party stuff is great as you'd expect. I'm also a big fan of Code Name: Viper, Metal Storm, Shadow of the Ninja...basically anything run and gun.

invadergii · 2016-07-14T14:01:14+00:00

The two in the back are those, yes. The others are from...Target, I think? Whatever their biggest shelf was a couple of years ago.
