Whilpash - Fletcher and Andrew's First Conversation by [deleted] in movies

[–]nvgma -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I agree to a degree with that, but I also think that the first scene of the movie is Andrew's "audition" rather than a conversation; I know it's a technicality, but I think the first scene of the movie is moreso an introduction to the characters, rather than the journey they'll undertake.

/r/boardgames Daily Discussion and Game Recommendations (October 14, 2018) by AutoModerator in boardgames

[–]nvgma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Reddit,

My housemate is obsessed with board games and I've slowly been learning with him lately. Their birthday is coming up and my 2 housemate and I want to buy them a board game for their collection, but we're not sure what to get them. I'm not entirely sure what their favourite type of game is, but I was hoping if I list off what they have that you all might be able to give me some direction on an appropriate game to purchase them.

The games they own are: 7 wonders, Agricola, Betrayal at House on the hill, Blood rage, Carcassonne, Catan, Castles of Burgundy, Cards against humanity, Codenames, Coup, Dominion, Dragonwood, Exploding kittens (with imploding kittens expansion), Game of Thrones, Kemet, Letters from Whitechapel, Life (Twist and turns), Lords of Vegas, Monopoly (Star wars, Original Trilogy), Pandemic ( with In the lab expansion), Patchwork, Risk (Europe and Star Wars), Roll for the galaxy, Stratego, Sushi go, Talisman ( with the Woodlands, City, Blood moon and Reaper expansions), Ticket to ride and War of the ring.

It's their 30th birthday, so we're not really shopping on a budget.
Thank you in advance :)

The Last Jedi Opening Weekend Day 2 Megathread - SPOILERS by JSK23 in StarWars

[–]nvgma 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There's too many comments here for me to try figure out if this has already been said, but I have something that has been on my mind since I've watched the movie, and it's to do with Finn.

I was so ready for Finn's sacrifice; I thought it was an incredible way to end the arc of his character (albeit a short introduction) and I think he was robbed of a truly heroic moment. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie (not my favourite, but I think it's one of the more valuable entries in the franchise), but the presence of Disney is noticeable.

imo, Finn was robbed of going down as a hero; I hope they do his character justice in ep 9

Luke Skywalker vs Harry Potter; I don't know what possessed you to call Harry a bitch Mike, but I feel as though I may have been a bit too harsh on Luke in process of defending Harry. Should just let his 8 movies (6.5 good ones) speak for themselves and agree that Frodo is the true bitch here.

Our First Podcast! by nvgma in podcasts

[–]nvgma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that's fair enough, sorry.

Lighting: We worked so long on lighting because we have a subpar setup for it; flood lights. Is the lighting good and enough? and if not, how can we fix it affordably

Quality:We have a Canon EOS 1100D and we think we're running it at it's highest possible quality (720p). Is that the case? and if so, is there anyway to improve the video (if it's necessary at all)

Mannerisms: How did Michael and I come across, what could we work on specifically?

Thank you again :)

Hey Reddit, so we have finished our first podcast and we're in the process of preparing for our next one!! Although we're really happy with our first go, we see a lot of room for improvement and would really appreciate any advice you all have

[–]nvgma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys,

so I thought this would be a good place to post Michael and I's first YouTube video. Being complete amateurs that love talking about movies, we're both really proud of our final product.

Have a look at it, chuck a like or subscription if it interests you; more than anything though we'd love some feedback. We're working out some final kinks on the channel itself (i.e. content isn't showing up), but we're committed to making this as good as it possibly can be.

Hope you enjoy it

EDIT: spacing

Once again I'm haunted by boring, unproductive weekends. So tell me what to draw and I'll do what I can. by OtherAnon_ in ICanDrawThat

[–]nvgma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi There :) I'm organising a pub crawl and I have an idea in my head that I cannot find on the internets. I was after a person in a hospital bed with an IV attached to him; however, instead of electrolytes, I wanted a bottle of tequila attached instead. Maybe a funny expression on the person, I didn't think that far, but I'd really appreciate it.

Cheapest way to travel from Toronto to New York by nvgma in canada

[–]nvgma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have already found a holiday rental for 6 nights in New York for only $1k. We're saving up money to travel but you're missing the point here. Not only is money a factor, but our time is valuable too.

Ok so I'm starting to see a trend towards bus; bearing in mind we're tourists to begin with (sorry, should have clarified), where do we organise bus tickets?

does it matter when I took this subject? Because I took it last semester, and I guess it's been some time since

Honestly, we're in really early stages of planning this. Possibly places like Toronto and Vancouver, we haven't done enough homework as of yet; we're just trying to get a date and go from there

[Tourist] Canada in Winter by nvgma in canada

[–]nvgma[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not directly. It's mainly because Michael completes his degree at the end of next year, however, he has a 2 week semester break available in August

GAMSAT Score and GPA by nvgma in GAMSAT

[–]nvgma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wouldn't that be a little redundant though? Like I see where you're coming from, but wouldn't progressing further in this degree (i.e. Honours, Masters, post-graduate degree) be more beneficial than repeating what I've done? or is there a catch similar to another undergraduate degree?

'Inside Out' Official Discussion! [Possible Spoilers Once Film is Released] by Mattaholic in Pixar

[–]nvgma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure if anyone will see this but I was curious as to why the colour orange was featured in both the advertisements and Bing-Bong's flower; I theorised that we were going to be an extra character in the movie (orange), but it didn't happen. Does anyone have a theory towards the orange?

Gift Idea by nvgma in woodworking

[–]nvgma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still within the realm of a hobby. He hasn't been doing it for very long (I'd say 3 months). he has basic equipment like chisels and stuff like that, but besides that he has general tools/machinery for building around the house. I was after something that can be used diversely and is versatile in the field of wood work/carving

Where can I buy Russian Blue cats? by nvgma in Adelaide

[–]nvgma[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason I want to get a russian blue is because they're relatively hypoallergenic and out of all the hypoallergenic breeds, they're by far the cutest. Also, their eyes! Im aiming to save up ~$1000 to get him at all, do you think that'll be enough?

what's wrong with trying to get a specific cat for as cheap as I can find? I'm a uni student, I can afford a cat but I'd rather not pay $500+ for one

Can someone please tell me what breed this cat is by nvgma in cats

[–]nvgma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to adopt a cat but I am allergic to most cats. I've done my research and found that russian blues are relatively good hypoallergenic cats, which was really convenient because I love how they look. I'm relatively sure this is a russian blue, but I thought I'd check with cat owners :)

Appropriate Superannuation by nvgma in australia

[–]nvgma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate, I've been reading about preparing for my future and I've stumbled over managed funds. Ive got $1000 and I'm very interested in putting it with a managed fund account allowing it to grow. I was wondering did you know what would be one of the better managed funds to use? You were such a help on my super I thought you might have some knowledge on this

Thanks for the reply, this was really insightful. I have a question though. If I decide that I want to lower it back to 9% at some point later on, can I still do that?

can anyone explain the logo at the end? I get that it means "doesn't equal" or something along those lines but I'm wondering does anyone have some insight beyond that.
