  1. The Fender Dual Professional reissue is FINALLY up: https://shop.jbonamassa.com/collections/music-equipment-amp/products/48-dual-professional-amp-jb-edition $3500
  2. FInally got the Catan 3D Seafarers & Cities and Knights to the table. Well, not Knights yet, baby steps. I hope they add the 5&6 Player Expansion soon. And the Great Covid Shipping Catchup of 2023 continues. A ton of big boxes, a weakness of mine, arrived. Already played Vindication and Western Legends. Looking forward to Final Girl Season 2 since we had such a blast with season 1. And He-Man hit - All of it. I probably won't be able to tell if this one is a good game or not because I'm so nostalgic for the IP. Dig those throwback boxes on the right! Should crack it open this weekend. It sure would be cool if CMON added big boxes for its games. EDIT: It was just announced that Klaus Tueber, the creator of Catan, has passed away at 70. RIP

  4. Without clicking I new what this bump was about. 😂 But Josh is right, listing that pedal for $650 is not the same as it selling for $650. This story works better as a cautionary tale of how too many guitarists rely too much on popular opinion and not their own ears.
  5. My oldest outstanding Kickstarter just arrived. Really looking forward to starting this and not finishing...
  6. That's the pedal thread's version of those dudes dropping that OG Les Paul and the 60s Strats in the guitar thread. Was this a coordinated effort to drop unobtanium all over the forum?

    SIAP Both sound great, but when that second dude drops in...
  8. That's badass. Really dig the homage to Vai. I imagine playing that is going to be like holding back a pitbull, it's gonna want to just go. But Henson's playing has a lot of delicacy, too, so maybe I'm just letting the built-for-face-melting appearance of the guitar cloud my judgement. Please keep us posted!
  9. As luck would have it, those clip in to the pick-up bezel so when you're feeling frisky and the guard needs to come off, no unsightly soul-crushing holes.

    Starring Lifetime Longhorn Eli Wallach!
  12. @atomheartbevo Finally got War Room to the table, which is a war game that looks like it could be the center of a table in a... war room. It even has staves, so you know it's the business. It's designed by Larry Harris, who's most famous for creating Axis & Allies. I think it's an amazing game and can see why people obsess over the war game genre as a whole, done right these are lifestyle type games. War Room is the first game I've played that has completely obsoleted my 5x5 table. I had to use a folding table to hold as much of the admin stuff as I could, and it was STILL very tight. They Live finally arrived, but we haven't had a chance to play it yet. Our names are printed on the thank you page in the manual, which is a cool touch. Looking forward to trying it out. I don't have many other traitor games and this theme is obviously perfect for that. If they nail the gameplay... Also tried Final Girl, a solo only game where you play the last girl alive in a horror movie. Fun and clever puzzle solver with a lot of replayability. Since that was a hit, I decided to try ISS Vanguard as a solo game. I've only just starting learning the game, but plan to start playing this weekend. Hearing good things and the theme is right up my alley - People are calling it Star Trek in a box, which, from reading the manual so far, might not cover the entire experience. We'll see. Also played Zombicide: Undead or Alive. This is my first proper Zombicide game (I own Night of the Living Dead, but that's only 2 measly boxes of content) but it seems haaaaard. Two games in and we haven't come close to beating a scenario. I hope I'm doing something wrong at this point. The game mechanics are awfully fun, though, and chucking that many dice is always a loud time. (Euros have a high floor, but Ameritrash games have a very high, exciting ceiling) The recent Western Legends mountain range token holder kickstarter delivered. I'm such a sucker for table presence and WL already had it in spades, pardon the pun. This kicks it up a notch while adding a bit of functionality. Still waiting for the Big Box to deliver. Lacrimosa is one of my favorite games of 2022. The theme is you're tasked with finishing the piece Mozart was working on when he died. The gameplay is super solid and the production is top notch. Amadeus is one of our favorite movies (shoutout to Texas Ex F. Murray Abraham), so this one was easy to enjoy. Also played Obsession. We very much love Downton Abbey and this is that. Great worker placement game with some pretty cool thematic elements. I'm not sold on the art, but apparently this is how shit looked around the turn of the century. Regardless, the game deserves its reputation. Looking forward to playing it some more. ChessUp delievered, too. I was on the chess team in high school (because I was too cool not to be), but rust has long set in and I can get my ass handed to me pretty convincingly by a yoked up AI. I'm hoping to travel with ChessUp and polish up those skills instead of wasting time on the Switch playing Metroid: Prime (aka the greatest game ever to be designed in Austin). And we've been playing the usual suspects like Return to Dark Tower (most recently with the card holders and 3D locations, complete with LED lights, because overboard is exactly where I like to be in relation to the board). Still our favorite co-op, even though it feels like we only win about 25% of the time. And Smartphone, which surprises me that it doesn't get more run than it does. Such a fun economic game. And, of course, Kingdom Death: Monster, because nothing makes you feel so alive as pain. That should catch me up.

    Marley Exodus UHQR is up on Acoustic Sounds. It murdered the server earlier today so expect its 3,500 stock to sell out soon.
  14. Too much money involved to leave it ALL up to chance.
  15. Meta Quest Pro with the new price worth it as a Quest 2 upgrade? Is there something on the horizon we might want to wait for?
  16. I noticed this too about my pedal lust, recently. It's been awhile since a new pedal caught my attention, but Strymon has a track record that doesn't have any misses so they're easy to lust after. And now I'm about 4 vids in... Did Kemper, Positive Grid, et al, create this general apathy towards pedaldom?
  17. Can't wait to find out how they fuck up Khan.
  18. Eddie is my number 2 guitarist all-time, behind SRV. (No one spends time learning Hendrix songs anymore. That's science.) I celebrate Van Halen's entire catalog (But prefer DLR. As someone once said, Hagar was great, but Roth made them dangerous), but Why Can't This Be Love is my absolute favorite VH track (pure pop perfection). It wasn't until I was in college that I found out it was a keyboard song. Learned a lot about myself that day. Still coming to terms with it.
  19. The question stands.
  20. That section's creature feature is a 15-minute homage to the Original Series, right down to Kirk solving the situation WITHOUT using his fists (in a manner of speaking). I'm getting giddy just thinking about it.
  21. I hear you. II is obviously the movie that finally validated nerds the world over and its place in SciFi movie history is unimpeachable. Wrath of Kahn is a great movie, but VI has everything II has except VI does it better (Kahn spends the entire 3rd act bumblefucking around, for instance, Chang would clean his chonometer (boop)). But what VI really is, down to its core, is the entire 30 years of Star Trek story and lore sticking the landing.
  22. 15%
  23. One of the first places I went when visiting San Francisco was going to that intersection. 😂
  24. VI >>>>> IV > II Watched Search for Spock recently and it's held up quite well, I dig that one now more than I used to. Time has been kind to that one.
