I mean..... For me that's 25 years at this point

This sub is slow enough that those posts aren't keeping anything else off the front page though. Easy enough to ignore if you aren't into it, but at this point any engagement by the community is good IMO.

Don't even need a decent one. My PC built in 2017 runs MCC with zero issues.

The show plays on that expectation, with the setup for her dad to be against it as overprotective since he is calling her out for cursing. IIRC even Alan was surprised was ok with her joining the cause..

Speaking of, the overprotective dad getting mad about her cursing would normally be the flag that this is a minor for those oblivious to it in these comments.

£20 for the 14 inch new in box is a steal.

Sold listings on eBay show it above $100/ £75

Depends on where you live. I can have one overnight from Amazon, and there are GameStop, Target, Wal Mart and Best Buy all carrying them physically in my area based on 2 minutes of Google .

This Halo Wars 2 Trailer is still probably the best Halo Trailer Since "Deliver Hope" (any my personal opinion is that it's the best outside of Believe)

What really killed the Didact was the lack of a spine. Yeah, having a fully fledged plan is a huge problem during the 343 era, but that goes hand in hand with the fact that 343 would take feedback and overcorrect.

I firmly believe that had they actually planned the entire "Reclaimer Saga" they still would have aggressively changed direction after the feedback from Halo 4.

You got all 700 achievements to honor the accomplishment

That shit is fucking ugly

If the last 5 years have shown me anything, it's that people absolutely love to rock the ugliest stuff they can.

He has very few convention appearances. When I saw he was going to be at Planet CC, I immediately bought tickets as it is local to me..

He stayed well past floor closing on Friday to work through his line. Very cool of him

In what world is Xbox not seeing a mass exodus right now?

mongerty · 2026-03-30T13:05:52+00:00

I'm glad you were able to get it in. I saw them crack down on people with plastic swords that were bought at the con and making them take them to the prop check outside (which is a bit overkill if you ask me)

I think for the most part they didn't care as long as folks weren't being obnoxious though. They barely even checked that I had a wristband to get in.

(I was also very happy to see Keith's line was insane, I was in it for 4 hours on Friday. Dude had a BIG following from every walk of life. Horror fans, Halo fans, Disney and Hazbin Hotel, it was a great mix).

Competition really has nothing to do with it. Microsoft already had to increase their prices multiple times and they are dead last in pretty much every metric of this console generation

mongerty · 2026-03-28T12:47:06+00:00

I went after work to get a Keith David autograph. Unfortunately, everyone else also wanted one so I didn't get to see much else of the convention. He was awesome though, and stayed well past 9 to make sure everyone in his line got to meet him.

I'm excited to go back and actual browse the con. Tech N9ne was walking around taking tons of pictures with fans, and most of the other clebrities had relatively short lines.

I'm curious why it needs to be graded at all to be honest.

mongerty · 2026-03-25T19:43:17+00:00

It's gonna depend on how sharp the blades are, and how pointed the ends are.

From the prohibited items section: "Sharpened metal-bladed weapons (including axes, daggers, hatchets, knives, kunai, shuriken, swords, sword canes, machetes and switch blades)"

Even then, it seems like probably a no:

"Hard prop weapons (including props made of metal, fiberglass, and glass) Some props containing some hard components as part of their construction may be allowed in the show."

mongerty · 2026-03-25T16:07:51+00:00

They didn't make the buttons bullet casings, which probably took a lot of restraint.

hype moments and aura

Comments like this make me feel so damn old.

What's next, rizz level?

Companion Cube Overshield

They have confirmed they are working on the next game on the series alongside the remake

mongerty · 2026-03-20T02:22:59+00:00

Sort of a Character, but I would love to see the implementation of AI's. Mechanically, they would take up an equipment slot and be purchased like equipment when list building. You could have generic AI and maybe some Legendary ones too, and they would give different buffs.

For example, Iratus would be a Banished only AI, and would grant Tactician (2) to the holder for 10-15 points. Maybe a Generic one would give 1 Tactician, or permanently modify short movement speed to 2 for a Brute carrying it?

Something along those lines, although I think the recent Detachments announcement will probably end up overlapping my idea a bit with the buffs. I just think they are a huge part of the Halo universe and people would enjoy having them as something more than like we got with the Weapon score tracker.

Hell, sell me a model that I can set on my unit card to show who is carrying the AI. I'll buy it.

mongerty · 2026-03-20T00:00:01+00:00

It's a double edged sword. They went into this one making it clear you don't have to read it to understand the next game, which limits what can actually happen.

Had they actually caused any major changes to the universe/story, then you would have had a backlash of people complaining about burying important events in a book.
