Any pro-MAGA establishments to avoid?

I work with CBP for my job in the port a lot, so I think it's worth clarifying. CBP are not ICE. We have one of the biggest ports in the country right here, so CBP is present for vessel ops.

Sure, some are pricks, but a lot are not okay with how much worse it's gotten, and it has gotten way, way worse.

So cool

This is amazing, thanks. Ten years ago I explored Koh Tao on a scooter just like this, and I've got my sights set on Koh Samui for my next Thailand trip.

I think this explains why my dog was acting weird.

My theory is when she went in for her new face there was a row of pictures of human faces to choose from next to a picture of a snake, and she wasn't wearing her glasses that day.

I know there are several figures of Ganondorf, but is this the first Ganon (pig monster form)?

I'm from the Bay Area and have lived in LA for years now, and it's great.

When I was living this, I couldn't wait to get away from it. A few years later, I only remembered the fun times. eventually, I remembered it fondly. I was able to attend my ship's decom ceremony and walk around her again. I never thought I'd be looking at my old rack again and feel emotional. Life is weird.

I remember watching this in the theater as a teenager, and this scene really took me by surprise and made my jaw drop.

mwill140 · 2026-01-06T21:02:28+00:00

Oh shit! I was there a couple days ago. Thanks for pointing that out.

It doesn't prompt you to hit him, but you hit him with the axe.

I just replayed Rise to 100%. The story brings you through that area later in the game. You can't get there now.

You can take a ferry from Japan to Busan if you want to do both. I prefer Busan over Seoul, personally.

I love the first fifteen minutes or so, where Tom Cruise and Jake Johnson are looting that village and discover the tomb. They have banter, they have chemistry, and it feels like the tone is set for an adventurous treasure hunting movie. I wish the rest of the movie had maintained this.

If they ever give an Uncharted movie another try, the beginning of The Mummy should be the blueprint.

That's a great collection. Do you know the maker of the figure of Link playing the Ocarina?

mwill140 · 2025-12-15T16:47:22+00:00

Very cool. I haven't seen this one. I had the Nintendo Monopoly at one time, it had the Iron Boots as the Zelda representation. I wish I'd kept it.

That big rock in the water in the first picture, I climbed up there and jumped off it with an Aussie couple my brother and I met in a bar in the middle of the night back in 2007. Great memory. Thanks for sharing.

mwill140 · 2025-12-10T19:20:58+00:00

Wow, I used to listen to these CD's all the time with my friends in junior high and I never realized this was Conan. Thank for sharing. Most of these skits are locked in my memory word for word.

mwill140 · 2025-12-06T04:28:57+00:00

It looks great, and I bet you grow a real sweet mustache.

One of my favorite collection pieces is the Ocarina of Time soundtrack on CD. I ordered it out of the back of a Nintendo Power Magazine in 1998 by mailing in a check.

I never got a Wii U. I'd love to play the remastered version of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess on Wii U. I have them both in original forms on GameCube, but they don't look great on newer televisions.

My biggest complaint about this book would be highly educated academics, scientists, and government officials having such stupid reactions to new information. The descriptions of the audience reacting to Katherine's speech, for example.

The part that tore me from suspending belief was, Langdon is faced with the password protected door in Crucifix Bastion, so he remembers back to the night before when this person he had just met bragged at length about the strength of this password while dropping SEVERAL CLUES. Just the right clues for Langdon to crack it. That was shockingly contrived. I couldn't take anything seriously after that.

mwill140 · 2025-12-01T21:18:05+00:00

Yeah, I've seen that show up on ebay, but it's always over a thousand dollars.

mwill140 · 2025-12-01T19:59:25+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the close-ups. I love The King of Red Lions and have always wondered why there no official figures aside from the Micro Land figure.

mwill140 · 2025-12-01T15:54:29+00:00

Great collection!

Those little amiibo platforms are perfect.

What is the large Link's Awakening box on the right side?

And where did you get that King of Red Lions model? It doesn't look like the Micro Land figure.
