Pennets are items that I love, and would like to collect/hang on the wall, but have none of.  I had a couple as a kid for the local Baseball farm team, but I love items like this.  That's really cool.

I can't make out the copyright date on the photo.  When was this and was this an item you picked up at the show as a kid?

I have a Dallas Cowboys pennant signed by the owner and coach during the 90s in their 3 super bowl years.  My grandparents won it at an auction for charity in 1995.  Freaking love that thing.  Pennants are so cool!

I'm down to do it.  I have some handheld stuff I can toss in.

I am interested but have a couple questions.

1.  Is the intent of this to take what you would like out of the box that arrives to you and then add your own stuff to it?

2. Replace each box.  Just the box itself so it doesn't get super beat up or take all the contents of the box and fill up my own large box to send forward?

I had looked up the previous train posts and these weren't entirely clear to me from what I read.

Dont know anything about it but I am from Everett haha.  Cool item. Lots of awesome stuff up here that I can never seem to get to before its gone.  Lots of crazed resellers polluting everything here also.

Get down on it, get down on it.

I didn't become active here again until about a month ago, but I created my backlog challenge for 2022.  I know I am a couple months late but better late than never right?!  Some of these games I started years ago and tapered off and some I had played as a kid but never finished them.  Metroid Prime is one I am really looking forward to as everyone has great things to say about the series.   There will be games I complete for the "Beat Every Game" threads that aren't included in this, which will probably derail me from completing these haha.

Years ago my wife and I were in a local game store and saw a painting by a local artist.  I loved it, but it was way out of my price range.  She found the artist on Etsy and bought a print of it for me. Ecstatic!

T-Shirt charm incoming @Matchbook

I feel like one of the cool kids now!

Oh snap!  Just set up my $10 a month subscription to.  I got 2 charms coming woohoo! 

Happy belated Birthday @Submissive421

Happy Birthday! @Chevmatic

@bowser Your space looks amazing!  I hope my next house will have a large space for my gameroom like this.  Unless my next house is the one I build; then it will definitely have a space like yours.  Looks great my dude!

The fight is in Heavensward. >_>

I am an idiot. I looked it up and I have most definitely done it lol.  I may have been a little hazy eyed when I ran it haha.

There's a raid in FF14 where you fight the Knights of the Round, it's pretty awesome.

Ahh that's exciting. I'm halfway through the Stormblood MSQ.  74 WHM.

I’m at the Elite Four already. Hopefully it won’t be very hard to finish it.

Awesome!  I only made it to Surge and rage quit.

It's a really good game, especially if you're looking for more FF7 content. Of the FF7 side stuff, it's among the best IMO.

I am a big FF fan but honestly have played little FF7 (I know WTF am I doing).  I have watched him play quite a bit of it though and seen enough to be pretty familiar with the story and characters.  Those dang summons are epic.  I always remember Knights of the Round summon pretty vividly.

I only have a couple PS2 games but I might give Dirge of Cerberus a shot this year. I have never played it and my buddy really enjoyed it back when it was first released.

I'm in the midst of upgrading my gameroom space with a new gaming desk and bookcase.  I cant wait to finally get so much stuff out of boxes.  Here is my NES CIB and GB collection.  FFIV and Super Breakout are sealed.

I finally captured Arceus on Pokemon Legends and now I can go back to Pokemon Stadium.

Can't wait to beat it.

I'm glad someone else is gonna go for it.  I started it and got frustrated and haven't returned. I was using rented pokemon though. I'll gladly move to a different game lol.

Welcome!

August was awesome.  Great setlist.  Wish the bass and drums were down a notch and the guitars and vocals up one, but the mix was pretty clear overall, and the stage energy and setup was great.

I've seen Killswitch 4 times now, and this was the weakest setlist.  Of the first 10 or so songs only 1 (Serenade) was from the first four albums.  And you can tell the guys are getting up there in age: Adam is a lot more subdued than in the past and had a leg brace.

They ended with a bunch of crowd pleasers, where Howard and Jesse did dual vocals, so that was awesome.

I don't usually waste time with pics with my crappy phone, but you can see I had to piss at the end of Killswitch so I fell pretty far into the back by then.  Separated from my group as well

Sounds like a great time.  It must be odd not seeing Adam running around in a cape being rambunctious.  I think I saw Killswitch last in 2009.  I havent been to a show since 2019 and I am itching for something.  Seattle has been sucky with the covid restrictions, but they are finally lifting.  I was hoping Devil Driver would tour up here but as usual they are mainly doing the Midwest (my old stomping grounds) and then on to Europe.

San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing complete.

After two frustrating failed circuits and a 2nd place, I won on my 3rd try.. I've learned the things that make this game bad are great for split screen multiplayer. The roads cause crashes, the steering is jerky and the AI has preposterous catch up mechanics.

Congratz!
