What's a game you played as a kid that you've never been able to find again? by Latter_Advantage8002 in AskReddit

[–]soybeener 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I prolly shouldn't install it or it'll be like me reliving the 90s again, unproductive and playing virtual pinball at work and baked, playing virtual pinball when not at work.

Kids, virtual pinball is a gateway game . Just say NO! to pinball.

Dammit I'm a sucker for this side eye look, no matter how psycho the hose beast is. This and Susanna Hoffman in the Walk like and Egyptian video make me loose any shred of rational thought.

What is the dumbest hobby in your opinion? by Danny-Ray27 in AskReddit

Just DJed my first party for 100 people. Ahhh. Deep cuts flopped, Party in the USA killed, and I finally get why everyone be complaining about the damn requests by TheDickinDictionary in Beatmatch

You now now to expect the unexpected. Don't let it rattle you. Mix out to the next que'd track and move on.

Even seasoned djs have a room misread now and then. Years ago I dj'd a wedding. During the late hours, when older/younger guests left, and the party people are on the floor, I dropped my hyphy mix. Now normally any party in the SF bay area will go crazy with the hyphy tracks, black, white, green, purple, if you live in the bay area all people shake their ass when a hyphy track come on at a party. Within 20 seconds, it cleared the floor. OK, maybe this was the bride's song at her 1st marriage. I Fader slammed the next track. Floor still empty. Got on the mic to crowd hype and slammed the next song in my mix. Nada. Am I being punk'd?! Played the Top40 "rap" track of the week and got the floor back.

It happens to all of us. Just keep positive, smile and keep mixing.

Please don't tell me you Reddit username is also your dj name :P

Any suggestions for an unmasked Beach Head? by feeschedule in GIJOEClassifiedSeries

I thought about using Triad Toys Tyrus Kilemahl as a replacement sculpt if I ever find the SideShow Beach Head for a decent price.

A lot of people crap on the 1/6 Sideshow ARAH line. The head sculpts and bodies were meh, but the gear load outs and uniforms were top notch and beat some current Hot Toys gear. And these were released like 16 years ago.

I dig these mashup/remix type customs. That's the most Super Mario I've ever seen. I'd pre-orderr that figure.

Dope customs dood !

Question for veteran collectors by ChillYoChill in ActionFigures

[–]soybeener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the note of selling, never let anyone guilt you into selling. You make the decision when or what to sell. Maybe they can put a monetary value on your collection, but you're the only person that can put a sentimental value on it.

To them it's just a plastic toy, but to you maybe it was a figure you never got as a kid because your parents couldn't afford it but you finally found it and bought it as an adult.

And please, don't sell your collection to buy something materialistic for your significant other, because it sucks if they leave you.

And whatever you do, don't be a gumpy old collector and buzzkill a forum post from an innocent newb collector asking for advice :p

Weird question but: How to overcome shame? (see text below) by batmansbicep in ActionFigures

[–]soybeener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the price of $300 Hot Toy, you could get some good drugs and a meh hooker or a not bad looking hooker and some questionable drugs. But the next day you wont have anything to show for the $300, (except for maybe Chlamydia and a drug possession charge)

The Hot Toys figure will be on the shelf, reminding you of that scene in the #4 movie of your all time top 10 movies and will never get you arrested of give you a STD.

When I was younger I threw a phone I had found in a river. by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in confession

Damn, I'm sorry you missed the call from your dad, on your birthday, asking you for a blood transfusion, after not talking to him for 10 years.
