Hellbeard posted:Ordered this miniature wargame starter set. The game is called Dropzone Commander, it's a 10mm sci fi game that's recently come out. The makers are a new company called Hawk Wargames. Looks pretty cool. I just wish some of these war games came with pre painted miniatures. I've got the painting skills of a drunk 4 year old and it always lessens the enjoyment of a game of 40k when your army looks hell.

I've got the painting skills of a drunk 4 year old and it always lessens the enjoyment of a game of 40k when your army looks hell. Thanks! Look, no one is born knowing how to paint. Anyone can learn through education(a search or two online) and practice. It's a skill like any other. A simple one color business, with a wash and some highlight dry-brushed on will serve most just fine in my opinion. On the other hand, have a look at the X-Wing miniatures game. It's a sort of dogfighting game that's very popular and lauded for its good mechanics. The miniatures look great and they come pre-painted to a very nice degree.  That's out the box!

Hellbeard posted:Thanks! I will sit down and have a look at teaching myself painting again at some point, it's something I've always wished I was better at. I have some old Eldar guardian squads knocking around here somewhere that will do for some practice. I have been looking at the x wing miniatures game (if yo can call it miniatures anymore, have you seen the size of the falcon?). It looks pretty cool but very expensive if you want to start building/customizing squadrons though so I'm a little put off by that.

Also I bought gta5. Edit: okay I'm not going to embarrass myself by saying what level I pledged, but I just gave a chunk of money to a kickstarter for a proper sequel to River City Ransom. You can tell from my avatar this is something I've desired for a long long time.

carnivaljunkie posted:So today the boyfriend and I ran to Staples for some pens. We started perusing the clearance bins and found two pairs of Audio Technica ATH-CKS55 noise-cancelling headphones without any price tags on them. We grabbed them and took them to the register to see how much they were, expecting that they would be at least $30, since these headphones typically go for $70-$100. Good find. I visit Staples every 2 weeks for clearance bin stuff. A long time ago i bought some original Blackberries for $20 i think, flipped them on eBay for $60 each.

These fuckers because I decided I wanted the bookshelf speakers I was planning to use on my new vinyl setup to remain attached to my computer because I hate money. The pair was cheaper than the bookshelf speakers by about $150 and by far the cheapest part of my set-up. They sound real good.

Glottis posted:Two of these! Is this image too big? Oh...I'm sorry...I'm so, so sorry. That is NOT a good phone. Seriously. Check out the last few pages of the Android thread in IYG. Which links to this review: quote:If you're thinking of getting the Verizon version, throw out everything nice I just said about the back. The Verizon variant has a different design that removes the great looking back pattern and buttons, instead using versions that could best be described as "cheaper." The diagonal inlay is gone. It's been replaced with a flat honeycomb pattern that isn't nearly as pronounced, and the sleek looking buttons were swapped out for a tacky sliver plastic. It really looks like Verizon saw the original version and told LG to bring the price down a bit. The result is something that doesn't look nearly as slick as the original. Honestly, return those things RIGHT NOW and get either a Galaxy S4 or HTC One. I mean, for God's sake, this is what the default system bar looks like on the Verizon G2:  quote:LG lets you tweak the system bar as well. You can change the button order and even add a shortcut to open the notification panel or open LG's QuickMemo app. You can switch between flat white, flat black, gradient white, and gradient black. The most "normal" and most popular option would probably be flat black, but on the Verizon version, that has been replaced with a fluffy, pink, quilted option. (At times, it feels like they are almost actively trolling their customer base.)

DrBouvenstein posted:Oh...I'm sorry...I'm so, so sorry. That's a ridiculous loving review. I spent 10 minutes messing around with it and there's nothing remaining of this UI bullshit you talk about except for a small, single, useful line of controls in the notification pulldown. It's a normal lockscreen. I put whatever I want in there. The back of the phone is plastic and in my opinion less tacky looking than the S4. quote:I mean, for God's sake, this is what the default system bar looks like on the Verizon G2: No, it doesn't. The default is solid white, and it's transparent on the stock launcher like in the photo. You can pick pink if you want, but why would you do that? Have you read any of the other reviews on the phone? It's almost universally praised.

Both of these things are the best. I bought a jacket, but I'm going to return it because the pockets are terrible. If you wear a pack with a belt, the belt covers them up. In its place will probably go this one, because I'm a sucker for online reviews and Outdoor Gear Lab said it was the best they tested.

I am a weak man suffering the urges of impulse purchases: Now I also have to buy a second TV so I don't interrupt my wife's viewing of some bullshit show like Dance Moms or Big Brother. Anyone have suggestions for a good 1080p 50"-60" non 3d TV? LED or LCD.

I have a Panasonic 42" E6, it's a smart LED without 3D and there's a 50" version, it's pretty drat good for a budget(ish) model.

Every time I come in here I almost always end up posting clothes and / or stuff for upcoming trips. A couple weeks ago I was gifted with a plane ticket to spend the Christmas holidays with my boyfriend and his family, so naturally I've been on the hunt for sweaters and cute accessories ...   But then this t-shirt called to me and I couldn't pass it up.  I am well on my way to becoming a fluffy pink Jojo princess apparently.

I recently got my school's refund money back. While normally I would be responsible and buy school supplies and books that I didn't need ASAP with it, I have come across my textbooks in a less-than-legitimate manner already so this gives me some spending money after storing some away for monthly bills. Surprise gift for my boyfriend, as well as a stupid cheesy card to put the preorder confirmation in  Birthday gift for a friend, 6 yards of this fabric  SuperBlack nailpolish in Plip (pictured), Drunk Dial, and Whip  Stone plugs  Silicon earskins, 2 in black and a single silver one to replace the one that mysteriously disappeared   Cute (and expensive) socks  A notebook for my lab research
