This is really cool stuff. I love reading about the knightly orders of the Crusades; I just today finished William Urban’s military history of the Knights Teutonic, and I have books on the Templars (The Knights Templar by Sean Martin) and Hospitallers (The Knights Hospitaller by Helen Nicholson) as well. I’ll have to…

I know for a fact that there’s a 3rd-party (so completely unofficial) transformable not-Bastion figure with diecast parts floating around called “Freeman”. TFsource.com still has it in stock.

It’s also $125 USD, so I don’t know if that’s better than this.

The character I’ve been running in my older brother’s 4E game that has been going for well on seven years now (just got to Epic Tier last month!) is a Goliath Barbarian, and she is easily the best character I think I’ve ever created. Magna of the Thunderlord tribe. Her backstory was that she was a den mother for her…

Yeah, this entire scene gave me chills. Freddie Prinze Jr. is SO FUCKING GOOD. Sabine’s actor as well, but I don’t know her as well. But FPJ, holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, he fucking nailed this scene.

Kanan and The Iron Bull for the win.

My father isn’t dead, but like my brother and I, he’s a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. We used to watch that show religiously every Tuesday back when I was a kid, but by the time the final season aired, we kind of lost track of it. I was into high school and busy with drama club stuff and a part-time dishwashing…

Sabin Figaro be like “Bitch please.”

If it makes you feel better, I was joking about Yusuke being a serial killer. I just don’t like him. XD

I always liked in Q’s third appearance in the show-the debut of the Borg-after he transports the Enterprise deep into the Delta Quadrant and they have their first encounter with a Borg Cube (and get mightily licked), after they manage to escape they go have a meeting about this in the conference room and Q shows up to…

I might make more of an effort to use her whenever I get around to NG+. My first playthrough ended up being my bro Ryuji (who pretty much never left the party once he joined), Makoto, and Best Girl Haru. Makoto covered the heals pretty well, with Joker helping out where he could.

I liked her too! I just feel like I could have liked her MORE, but the story never gave me the opportunity. Ann didn’t see a lot of use in my party past Madarame, and I’m kind of sorry about that.

Fair enough!

Ann has such a promising start during the whole Kamoshida arc, that I don’t think the rest of the game actually manages to capitalize on. Like, the scenes where Carmen first manifests, and how she deals with both Shadow Kamoshida and post-change of heart Kamoshida in the real world are all solid as hell. Like when she…

I was at FanExpo in Toronto back at the start of the month and one of the guests was Billie Piper, and we decided we wanted to go see her panel. And it was great! She also talked about her role as Brona/Lily on Penny Dreadful, and then the floor was opened up to questions, and it was all going swimmingly, but the…

I laughed too hard and now I’m completely Knackered.

Tintern Abbey is a really good ruined cathedral too. My family went on a vacation to Wales (my mom’s side of the family is predominately Welsh) about ten years ago that included a visit to Tintern Abbey, since it wasn’t far from where we were staying. My mom got into a conversation with a sculptor who was busy carving…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t even the spider-thing, in the end, not actually It itself, but some sort of organic interface for the REAL It, which is a collection of light (the so-called “Deadlights”, which the spider It can also generate to a certain degree) that resides at the edge of the universe or something…

As an outsider to this particular hobby I actually kind of find it fascinating because how customizeable they are; like there’s a huge cottage industry of clothing manufacturers, accessories, wigs and shit like that for dolls. And I actually tell a lie, I do own a SINGLE BJD that my wife gave me as her first ever…

My wife collects Asian ball-jointed dolls, so they are EVERYWHERE in our house (where there aren’t already Transformers, since I collect those). They don’t creep me out, but they TERRIFY my older brother. He can’t stand them.

“All five fingers of the Hand are highly-skilled martial artists”

“We are made of sterner stuff” he sobs in the middle of whining about how everyone is mean to him and hurt his precious little fee-fees.
