“Had they just left out the ability to spend Shark Card money on chips”

Actually they did!

I second the motion, Sunstone is lovely.

Honestly, good on Pekos for having the maturity, sportsmanship, and wherewithal to smile and fist-bump Rycroft there at the end—he really didn’t owe Rycroft that, especially after that display of “I’m so good I can beat you without my sword,” but it made me smile to see it happen all the same.

...and, hell, good on…

Seriously, I thought the last sentence would be instead: “And he was correct. When he was descending the last few feet, he was ordered to put his hands up. When he didn’t comply, because his hands were holding onto the building at the time, he was tased by the responding officer below him. He then proceeded to fall on…

I’d take it a step farther: they also have to make the Top 3 with at least 1 kill in at least as many matches as got flagged.

This, I really don’t understand why it’s not like that for all game. These people re-buy the game immediately after being banned. Playing against other cheaters may take some time to realize (unless it’s instant one shot from the other side of the map).

Only got one in Apex so far myself, it was incredibly obvious,…

Will they know they are being sent to the cheater-only area, or will it slowly dawn on them as they play?

i’ve long been of the opinion that you don’t ban customers from playing a game they paid for, and instead you sequester them to their own isle of cheat servers.

Fine.

I still have one of these with all of the parts.

I don’t have the armor (didn’t come with it when my cousin handed it down to me in 198X, but I still have the core toy, and it’s spectacular.

That was badass and I DID have one as a child -god it pains me how many transformers were lost of mine in moves now that I have children- but now as an adult with my own kids who also watch the animated show it’s far cooler to have a sky fire that looks like the cartoon.

I had an original Japanese Macross version that the Transformer was based on . My parents got it for me because it was somehow cheaper than the Transformers one, found in a local toy shop. It was the real deal, high quality, Japanese and poorly translated English writing on the box. The main difference was the color,…

As others have said, that can’t happen for legal / licensing reasons. If you don’t mind it the different markings you can pick up one of the early 2000's Bandai reissues for fairly reasonable $$. Or if you want to go off the deep end check out all the Yamato / Arcadia or the new Bandai 1:48 versions.

The new Macross ones are cheaper but different paint job. I believe Jetfire’s head is same as the Skull Leader version.

Holy Cow! I’ve never seen this before and totally thought it was a Macross figure until I read the packaging. Great figure though. 

they’re a lot cheaper if loose out of box and played with... :D

Difference is Cosby is an old fuck who, if nothing else, at least had some variety when it came to his sexual assaults, most of which went way past the statute of limitations, and was never actually dumb enough to self-create physical evidence of his shit.

Even without the tapes, he’s fucked. At this point it’s just a matter of adding years. As for why they held on to them, that’s easy. Money and quite possibly, these were people aiding him in his kiddy diddling, but when the roof finally fell in, they all want to make sure that they don’t end up going away like him,…

Not to mention that older stuff is often available uncensored.
