Awesome dude. You'll enjoy it. 

Unless you die immediately. 

I've got dibs on dying immediately.

You... look a little like GoCollect Jeff.

But I know you're not the same person because I doubt he owns and wears a Zelda shirt.

I'm also wearing a Zelda hat you just can't tell cuz I'm wearing it like an idiot. 

You're not the first one to tell me we look similar, and sure I can kinda see it, won't deny.

I need a shave and a haircut, I've been too lazy about it.

Lately I've been finding time for a "nice" Final Fantasy 4 or Zelda randomizer seed roughly once a week. By nice, I of course mean I get trolled horribly and flip my desk.

How do you find the ff4 ones normally go? I've never done a random seed on an ff game but it sounds like it might bring a fresh feel to my favorite series if it's actually playable. 

Working from my local Starbucks. 

Yeah click around, try stuff out. Don't be afraid to get messy and make mistakes. Consider it an adventure!

@Gloves ain't in charge here

I'll send you an invite to the Werewolf club.

I am everywhere. I am all. And nothing. Here, there, tomorrow, today. Always.

@Gloves figured i'd ask since you are in charge any chance we just have a werewolf section in here, so instead of everything else its just werewolf since we do it from time to time and easier to find when comes up be all in one place instead of spread out in everything else with everything else?

I think the plan is to post signup here, but to restrict the game itself to a Club so it doesn't get lost. Then it doesn't disturb people who don't care about it either. 

My legs get pretty ignored, yeah.

People keep relating the comic and video game world, not just NA or VGS but even in mainstream media. I wonder if earlier Nintendo Power's will start being graded at some point.

That's a good point. I imagine the existing comic grading companies might just add them to their roster if they don't already accept them.

Actually... Lol this might be someone's chance to corner that market out of the gate. Get some mags on Heritage/Certlink and make yourself rich!

You and me both, bud. I didn't know anyone used 2 spaces after a period. It is one, I can't imagine 2 spaces after a period being taught to anyone at a scholastic level, it just doesn't make sense.

I actually learned that it was 2 spaces in my first computers class in elementary school. This was in like 1993 or so though, and by a really old woman. It became pretty clear after a few years that 2 spaces was the old way.

it's one. it's always one. one. unless you're padding your paper, it's one. one. jesus, it's one. it's not two nor has it ever been. if it was two then there'd be a second space bar for a 2 strike space. it's a space bar, not a space lane. one. shut up, it's one, just make the change. in fact, switching from two to one spaces means you're saving precious time. think about it: you're going to die and won't get those moments back, wasted days, from hitting the space bar twice. in conclusion: one.

It's really painful seeing you both telling people how many spaces to use AND not using capitals at all.

One thing I think the comics folks are going to be disappointed with is how free of them the casual market really is, for the most part. 

My comparison here being the difference in completeness. A casual comic collector who wants every Wolverine comic for instance needs to get every one of them, and the whole lot of em are the same - just a comic. But in video games you see people all the time sharing their "complete" sets of Franchise X on social media, and they have the cart games cart-only. There are tiers of options available, and I honestly can't see them buying up all the Mario 3 carts to try to game that specific bit of the market. 

CIB was already pretty niche comparatively, and sealed far moreso; specific rare variants most people don't even register as a thing that exists. So they can buy up all the CIB Mario 3 all they want, but it will really only impact those specifically into CIB collecting, and let's face it - the vast majority of us who collect CIB already have Mario 3, and probably in pretty decent condition due to the not-scarce nature of it.

I think there's going to be some interesting growing pains for the comic guys coming into this, and some potential surprises for them.

One space. The two spaces is from typewriters and monospace fonts. Kerning on modern systems eliminates the need. Anyone who's using two spaces online or in word processors today is only doing so because someone (often much) older than them insisted that it was a rule.

Really happy to hear you'll be making use of the blog feature! It's great seeing people making use of the Clubs as well, and all the options we have. Something for everyone! Welcome!

Realistically NA worked on the honor system regardless. If someone gets scammed or something there OR here it'd be public. A regular user can't delete or edit another user's posts, nor lock their own threads, so there's no way as a scammer to stop the other party from posting their negative feedback for all to see.

The method for feedback that I have outlined is quite common on Reddit and I think it works well, and will help a lot I think while we get settled.

Misunderstandings in transactions are a bit tricky at times but at the least straight up scammers will be banned. In that sense nothing has changed in the transition.

I can't recall his name, but mine is the one that says 'Bulbasaur' all the time.

I believe that character's name is "Pikachu". 

Finally:

I'm down.

Frankly I'd rather not show em on mobile. Bit of clutter on devices with not a lot of space.

So basically instead of having a feedback profile you just have your own personal feedback thread that anyone can search?  Do you still get a number count?

I mean, you can keep track... 

This is a solution "for now". We'll see what the future holds!
