  1. Not that I've seen, but it's a cool idea! Wolverine (2009) #74 . Has anyone ever seen a copy?
  2. @CGC Mike could possibly help or at least put you in contact with who can get this resolved for you.
  3. Yes. It really is all gone through in vivid detail, but to really get all of it you do have to play through the games. It really is a TON to keep track of at first. Once you adjust it really isn't that bad. It just takes a lot of time. That was my issue originally. Remembering that my first games were Atari and Phillips Magnavox Odyssey it really was a steep learning curve. I died countless times. There were many times it felt like episodes of " A million ways to die in the wasteland " at the same time this did make it somewhat more believable. It definitely is a challenge. There are tons of beautifully done cut scenes, but with Fallout I would say there is a LOT more game play than cut scenes. Especially when you factor in how much junk and dialogue you slog through. The first few times playing I wasn't paying as much attention to some of those details, but later plays I was taking more time to actually make conscious decisions about dialogue as well as playing through all side quest, add ons, etc. The amount of detail they put into is simply amazing and staggering. Same can be said for the amount of trash/junk. Each one of the Games Fallout 1-4 , New Vegas I have found each to be great in their own ways and in the end worth the time spent to go through them. The first few times I played them were on basic versions (no ad ons) I will say that once I played the ones with the expansion packs. I would highly recommend always playing the games with those. Between the weapons added as well as whole maps to new locations and added story they are definitely worth it. Some of my favorite stories were in those. Some of my personal favorites is still New Vegas expansion "The Lonesome Road " and "Big MT" and Fallout 4's "Nuka World" That said the entire world is so expansive and so much detail that once you have built your character strong enough to be able to wander around without the constant fear of turning the wrong way and running into certain doom, be it creatures or radiation, it is a very enjoyable game. Many of time I have just kicked on the radio (on the pip boy) and wandered the wastes. Between this and Johnny Guitar Those that have played these a lot will get it, but really they have a great soundtrack when it isn't repeating some of the songs.
  4. The game. There are many extremely detailed stories all throughout the wasteland. Just the same there are SO many very nuanced details not only in many of the stories of almost every character in the game, but even in many of the environments, the monsters, etc. So many variables that almost every play through you find so many new things and even the story itself can change depending on choices throughout the game. There are so many NPC characters that can eventually become companions and if you keep them with you certain places and parts in the storyline they will share their history that opens up even so much more. The first time I tried to play it I got semi overwhelmed by the amount of carp that is in some of them. Handloading rounds, breaking down almost every item in the game to different materials, modifications to weapons armor, guns, etc, etc, etc.. it really has so much to the game. Another issue is how many times you (depending on system) can have glitches that can also get very frustrating. That said if you really stick it out, explore everywhere, talk to everyone, it has so many levels of enjoyment. ( IMO) The reason so many find issues is that it is so massive that this isn't one of those run through in a day, week, or even a month kinda games. No matter which of them you play my recommendation is to make sure you get the game of the year editions as most of those come with all the expansion packs and they are definitely worth it.
  5. Thanks. That is awesome. Only issue I had with those and that groin vault ceiling is that they chose drywall over them as the finish. If it were left to me I wouldn't have used the plywood I would have steamed solid boards into the radius so it could have been sanded and stained. Same with the groin. First choice would have been to steam wood into the intersecting archways , second would have been plaster. Unfortunately too many go for the cheap and quick finish as apposed to the quality and skilled finish, that better showcase the craftsmanship that went into making some of these details.
  6. I've purchased some lots from that seller than indicated the condition was "AVG 9.8" and without even taking books out of the bags you could see multiple color-breaking spine tics on a bunch of books in a random batch selected. I've only continued to win lots because I adjusted my top bid way down and managed to win some lots for an average of a dollar and change per book. If the buyer here is expecting a lot of 9.8s, they're probably going to be disappointed. (But who knows, they might get lucky and be buying a lot re-sold from a collector that was the OO and took really good care of their books.) This only really hit those sales numbers due to it being sold NeatStuff, who has built a pretty good following and reputation on his standards, grading, and massive quantity/variety of books. Almost any other seller would have likely ended for half that.
