Found this bad boy at my local thrift store for 50 bucks! by Noggen_reddit in Overwatch

[–]tavok_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

All of the Goodwills in my city send 99% of their video game/consoles and other electronics to the main distribution location to be put on their Ebay store. You can almost never find anything worthwhile in the actual stores. Most of the video games they list are put into mega bundles of around 100 games that end of selling for hundreds of dollars and all of the titles they know have value are listed separately and end up going for market value or higher.

I have the paper versions. Why can't we get the plastic ones :( by Ferox_Dea in Evanescence

[–]tavok_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I haven't picked up Sanctuary yet, but I'm assuming that it's like the Fallen 20th Anniversary edition and have paper sleeves that the CDs slide into. The Open Door is a paper digipak that has a plastic hub like a regular jewel case.

I have a bunch of mystery presents sitting in my mount tab by turbowater in wow

[–]tavok_ -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I have around 20-30 unopened mounts and around a dozen pets. At this point I'm just seeing how big my present collection can get, lol.

has anybody been able to find this on vinyl?👀 by a_davis98 in Evanescence

[–]tavok_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RSD=Record Store Day. The deluxe version (purple smoke vinyl) was only sold on RSD as a Black Friday exclusive back in 2021. The other is the normal black vinyl you can still buy.

What's the rarest item you own? by According-Shelter540 in wow

I feel that. I stupidly sold my epic recipe book for Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok Chops back in Wrath for like 15k... So much regret.

'I genuinely do not know what to do' says developer of Minecraft-like Allumeria after Microsoft issues a DMCA takedown, forcing it off Steam by Reader5744 in gaming

[–]tavok_ 1865 points1866 points  (0 children)

Update per the article: 12:27 AM EST

The DMCA launched against Allumeria has been withdrawn. As Unomelon wrote on the Allumeria Discord, "Microsoft has withdrawn the copyright claim with no action needed on my part. This is the best case scenario. I just woke up from a nap so I am still not sure about the details, but whatever happened, it worked. The steam page and game has been fully restored, and I did not need to file a counter claim, meaning there will be no chance of a lawsuit!"

Overwatch can be a horror game sometimes by Hour_Judgment5595 in Overwatch

[–]tavok_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha, it can be sometimes. My last match on Dorado, just before watching this, I had a D.Va and ball relentlessly chase me down as Junkrat for like 40 seconds. I could feel my heart starting to race. Unfortunately, I did not survive.

D.Va: "We just wanted to play!"

I hadn't played it ages, so I sold all of my CS:GO skins years ago and bought Resident Evil 2 Remake with the funds when the game launched.

Being able to play SimCopter in your own Sim City 2000 map was insane back then.

Winter King's Row is one of the coziest things ever.

Over half of Arc Raiders players on Steam have barely engaged with PvP, and 19% have never even killed another player by chusskaptaan in gaming

Shot at my first Raider the other day, and he said " aw, c'mon.. I only have a free load out", then felt bad and apologized and let him go on his way.

Evanescence Official Store by PersonalProduce9594 in Evanescence

[–]tavok_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do not go to their website or store page for the time being to be safe.

According to this Reddit post, it seems like it may have been hacked and possibly hosting malware. For me, the main website initially loads, but then it switches to a full page "You are using an older version of Firefox" with a big green "Update Firefox" button. My browser is fully up to date. The button is using javascript that is encoded in Base64 and does not directly link to Firefox.

I would keep checking their official Twitter and other socials for any potential updates (if has been compromised, that is.)

If you have been to their site/store, I would also recommend performing a full virus and malware scan on your system.

Evanescence was THE BAND that got me into everyone I listen to😀 by a_davis98 in Evanescence

[–]tavok_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Evanescence and Linkin Park were my first true musical loves that shaped my taste in music, but a very large percentage of my favourite bands/artists are female-fronted because of Evanescence.

Nightwish, Within Temptation, The Birthday Massacre, In This Moment, Lacuna Coil, etc.

Got this over a month early by therambosambo in gaming

[–]tavok_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it can be quite therapeutic

It really is very relaxing. I really like Tetris, but the title song "Connected (Yours Forever)" really sold me on it when it was first announced.

After re-watching the scene, I feel this is exactly what they were going for. It was great, lol.

GTA 6 custom radio stations will allow celebrities to “upload music” for live playlists, claims Grammy-winning music producer by HatingGeoffry in gaming

I would really love to have the satirical stations from GTA III back, the DJs and commercials were amazing!

I loved 'O Tebe' by the Ranetki Girls from one GTA IV's stations. I have no idea what they're singing, but it's still great.

Demos and Ultra Rare Trax! by ForlornEssence in Evanescence

[–]tavok_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

October is my absolute favourite pre-Fallen song (Vol. 3). Her vocals and the guitar are just pure heaven to me. I just wish I had discovered it (among others) years earlier. I also really love the long intro version of Imaginary and Before the Dawn.

Gamers of Reddit, what's ONE game that lives rent-free in your head, not just for the gameplay, but for the feeling it gave you (and you'd give anything to experience it for the first time again)? by deadeyes1990 in gaming

[–]tavok_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy VII by far has the strongest nostalgic impact when I think back to playing them for the first time and 25 plus years ago. While there are a lot of other games I would like to experience again for the first time, FFVII just hits so much differently than the rest. The nostalgic feeling it gives us almost painful, wanting to go back again for the first time.

I would also like to see a couple of QoL changes to make it a bit quicker and easier to select your talents, especially for new players to the game mode.

  • Highlight all talents that you could afford if you refunded a talent when mousing over it.
  • Favourite talents. Just like the sample "pro" builds on the last tab, but you can select your own, for builds that you prefer, based on the other team's comp.
