You mean tiny WJ? That's just the way he looks.

Nice Tiki tower you got there Cobo. I like how the one in the middle looks like he's been sacking on an ink pen.

That's what I'm talking about. The bleeding from his mouth!!

Chapped lips?

Maybe, but I'm going with ruff and tumble battle scars. That's how he looked on the show.

Minus the goth lip balm.

Cary, I'd love to get some of that animated stuff! Bulk was always one of my favorites, and Oilslick is just so slick! He looks awesome!

Those guys are great. I need to open Prowl still.

As a proud owner of samurai Prowl, you will not be disappointed. it is a great bike mold and loads of fun!

So last week this was happening.







Then this happened today.



And this is about to happen!



I'm the best at space...

See ya when I get back

Godspeed sir. Find all of the planets and things.

Well, since Cary is not going to be around for like six months, I think we should hijack his thread for something nefarious... O_o

Dang Cary you're really living it up! I've personally been in London on vacation all week. (I'm from the US).
That game looks incredible, and is one of the major reasons I wish I got a ps4 instead of an Xbox one

Send us a post card!

Not sure if you're talking to me or Cary but here is Bee saying hello from the hotel room. Not much of a view but I promise we're in London

What good is a vacation without taking your favorite Transformer?

I meant cary from outer space, but I love your card Joe. It's real.
Have a great vacay. I love that old town.
Except for the native cuisine.

Oops
Just got back today actually. I spent the last week over there.

Cary, you've gotta let me know how good this game is. I'm literally considering buying a PS4 just for this one game.

Why thank you! Sorry for the delay, things got a little soggy down here and I also stopped getting emails for the thread.

I have lots of things to say and I need to do a review of sorts in my game thread, but the short version is don't go buy a PS4 for this game. Am I enjoying it? Yes! Did it live up to the hype? Sadly, no

As it currently stands, NMS scratches a very specific exploration itch I have, and I like that about it. So keep an eye out for my full thoughts. If you can't wait then these reviews do the game justice.

I'm honestly disappointed this didn't happen.

Well howdy Space Ranger!
How was the long cold dark of space?

Howdy to you, Sheriff!

How was the long cold dark of space?

Filled with intrigue, wonder and mystery followed by long stretches of loneliness, tedium and boredom that has lead to both great accomplishments and failures alike.

No Man's Sky has a lot of aimless wandering and grinding that satiates my hunger for exploration with just the faintest whisper from deep space that gives me a yearning for adventure. I'm still enjoying the journey, but the longer I play the more I see behind the curtain. There is a good bit of controversy and disappointment surrounding this game and for some, leaves a lot to be desired. NMS isn't for everyone, but as a whole; it is exactly what I've been looking for.

I'm enjoying the game for what it is and not letting what it isn't tarnish my experience.

To infinity, and beyond!

Welcome back Cary! I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying yourself. Thanks for the info on NMS. I've read and watched some reviews and it's unfortunate that it isn't living up to the hype. It really had potential but it sounds like it's a very dumbed down version of what people were hoping for. I was envisioning something
like Mass Effect but without RPG elements. Just in the sense that you could explore planets, cities, and encounter intellectual beings.

Yeah, I'm playing NMS and ME3 at the same time. ME3 is a great game and I've been able to go all this time spoiler free.

Space, apparently I needs it. I'm enjoying NMS, but like I said it's not for everyone. I purposefully avoided all news and previews of it so my expectations were way lower than a lot. I like to go into games blind like I did as a kid so I can experience the game unjaded and for myself. I'm very zen about games and they are how I wind down, relax and hide from the world.

If you're a pc player, go check out Elite: Dangerous. You may like what you see.

I have an Xbox One and Elite Dangerous is available but I've yet to check it out. It seems fairly similar to NMS.
It's funny you mention ME3 (don't worry no spoilers), because in ME2 I guess I didn't complete the necessary side missions and my character ultimately died . I lost my previous save and I refused to replay the entire game over again, and I also refused to play ME3 with a brand new character because obviously I couldn't carry forward my dead character

Excellent summation and I'm glad you are enjoying the grind

In other news, Titans Return Wheelie should be arriving today!

Awesome! Super neat lil figure. Lots of fun and a great paint job. They really are killing it with some of these legend figures. And bonus, you'll have another ride for your TMs.

Bruticus keeps being veeeeeery tempting, I'll admit, especially after playing around with some of the bots at TFNation. I may have to keep an eye out for stuff when I'm in Japan next month...
