One of the links in the article (regarding strict cancellation policies) describes restaurants trying to employ policies as you describe. Then you get people who think that even though they agreed ahead of time to be charged regardless of if they show or not, they should be excused because something came up and they…

Even for frozen, that is some crappy looking pizza. Home Run Inn frozen is where it’s at.

That just got carried over from the copy and paste. I don’t actually know how to do any of the advanced Kinja stuff on mobile. On a desktop browser it’s fairly easy, but not of the options are available on Safari mobile.

“Rhode Island state representative Robert Nardolillo III has proposed a 10% tax levied on the sale of M-rated games in the state, with the money raised paying for mental health and counselling resources in schools.”

So how does that translate from corporate bullshit to plain English? That money just goes to Twitch? Or Twitch takes their usual 40% or whatever and the rest goes to OWL to be distributed to the individual teams?

It looks like a glorified GI Joe. I don’t know how else to say this. I don’t think it looks like it is worth the money, that is my opinion. I am allowed to have it and expose it in the comments section until the admins feel fit to ban me for having an opinion. You are not going to convince me otherwise that I don’t…

Echo this. My PC will wake itself from hibernate multiple times a night if it has an update scheduled that it wants to install, but can’t because of the lock screen. I finally changed the active hours to 12 noon to 6:00 am, so now it’ll update while I am at work instead of when I am trying to sleep. Curse you RGB…

I play mainly Mystery Heroes, so my opinions are coming from that perspective. I agree that King’s Row is the best map. Lijiang Tower is okay, Night Market is bad. I do not like Ilios in general, though Ruins is the least worst of the three maps. Eichenwalde is good. Hanamura is a pain in the ass; if you get the wrong…

Can we get Jason or Kirk commenting on whether this fulfills the “Trump and video game controversy” prediction?

The modeling of the figures you cited is good, I will give you that, though I’d wager 3-D printing helps quite a bit with vehicle production these days. I do not find anything impressive about the painting. I have seen garage and hobbyist kits with paint jobs, either in person or online, that I think are comparable…

I’m shocked. SHOCKED. Well, not that shocked.

For clarification, the Homura figure is an AmiAmi exclusive. It has a listing on Good Smile’s website, but cannot he purchased there. The Futaba figure was only available in the US from Play-Asia, otherwise required pre-ordering with a proxy service, and also has lighting effects (that Kotaku described as a “desk…

I’m not set on hating it. I just observed that it seems expensive and remarked that it was probably due to the Destiny license, and that the paint job seemed iffy. With regards to other limited editions and/or single retailer (available to the US), since you bring it up: Homura and Hikari from Xenoblade Chronicles 2…

Why not? There are much nicer, less expensive Japanese-produced figures in existence. There was literally the largest figure festival in the world last weekend in Japan. The only unique thing about this is that it’s Destiny and costs $229.

Soe’s outfits have been pretty great, while the guys look like they are all bachelors (as no one in a relationship would allow their significant other to go out in public wearing that much denim) or got into a fight with a closet and lost.

Didn’t see the bit about articulation. So really it’s just a very expensive figma then.

That’s a bit more expensive than your usual 1/8 to 1/6 scale figure out of Japan. That price is more in line with what you would expect for a 1/4 figures. Guess you have to pass of the cost of the license somehow. Also, hope that’s a first pass on the paint job, as that is a pretty shitty looking prototype.

Into the Breach is out on the 27th, right? Or did that get a delay? Jason and Kirk were just talking about it on the latest episode of Splitscreen.

The Harry Potter license must be pretty expensive, because that is a pretty underwhelming set for $99. The Simpsons House set was, I believe, $199 and came with a huge number of unique pieces to that set. Even a lot of the Star Wars sets that I remember from my childhood were a lot more impressive for less.

The 7:00 pm EST is unfortunate. I actually preferred the Thursday schedule where they started at 5:00 EST. Meant I could actually watch all three matches without having to rely on VODs the next day.
