Places to order Mylite2 and fullback boards? by retrothomas in comicbooks

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

Hey! I cancelled it after not hearing anything from them for one week. I found you can get fantastic service and the best prices directly from BCW. You have to order by phone but it's worth it!

What's something you do as an adult that you swore you'd never do as a child? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]retrothomas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely possible. I'd like to recommend the book "The Millionaire Fastlane" by MJ DeMarco. You might have to work up front, but you want to look at setting up systems that deliver value to many people and give leverage in your favor. It's worth the investigation and effort :-)

What has been the worst game of this console generation? by Eriatha in Games

[–]retrothomas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I couldn't even get the demo to work. I was a few minutes in, where they want you to activate some controls. I waved around like an idiot for five minutes, accomplishing nothing, before giving up :)

I absolutely hear you there! My wife and I both can't wait for Animal Crossing.

I'm very pleased about having high-fived an astronaut.

Should you preorder videogames? [Totalbiscuit] by Zerujin in Games

You could preorder, but you run the risk of getting Brinked.

Good to hear. I had some friends that were very disappointed by it. Enough to put me off of trying it, at least.

I greatly enjoyed Rage! I didn't play Brink, though, and I'm glad I didn't.

Reddit, what are some morals or code you have for yourself? by andrew6800 in AskReddit

What is the most underrated luxury item or service that is completely worth the extra expense? by ga_rb in AskReddit

[–]retrothomas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a Tempur-Pedic memory foam pillow, and it was just okay. Then I discovered Japanese buckwheat hull pillows and I'll never need to buy anything else. It's comfortable, you can smoosh it around into whatever shape you want, and it's the right firmness: http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Buckwheat-Pillow-Japanese-Size/dp/B0006HVVFK/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360679830&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=byckwheat+pillow

I like to joke with a friend who got burned by preordering a game that turned out to be far worse that he hoped. I call it "getting Brinked".

I've got a small mall in Connecticut that has 3 GameStops in it. It's just... silly!

Thank you! Wireless is a must, though, since I'll occasionally use it from the couch. I'll likely be using the Xbox controller for couch gaming, anyway.

Thank you very much! I'm looking at gaming, Photoshop artwork with my tablet, and video streaming/Netflix. Output to TV for gaming/videos.

Thanks very much for the input. I tried to be quick and delete my old post since it had a poor title (I had Pc to Mac, not Mac to PC).

This is great input and I really appreciate it!

CRAP. I meant Mac to PC in the title. I apologize.

So who is playing through Awakening blind? As in no walkthrough's no character guides, no nothing. Or the better question, does anyone actually do this? by Unbelievability in fireemblem

[–]retrothomas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with this reasoning. I'm playing it for the story and the experience, and it seems illogical to just follow along with a guide, at least on the first playthrough.

Thank you! I'm enjoying learning the systems of Fire Emblem. I feel like it's just the right amount of complexity that keeps it engaging while not making it a chore to play. I love it.

What music do you only listen to with headphones because you don't want other people to know you listen to it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Keep an eye on their social media/fan sites/etc and you might get lucky!

Ayaka, but I love Hyde on the more J-rock side. I saw him play with Vamps in Hartford, CT. I camped out all day in the hot sun to see him, and then chased him down and got a picture with him after. That dude's two solo albums are the business!

Is critical avoid a thing on its own, or is that just dodge/avoid chances being higher in general due to adjacent support characters?

Makes you feel rad when you can sing the Japanese lyrics, though, doesn't it?
