I still haven't played Uncharted 4 yet.

It's absolutely FANTASTIC. Definitely my favorite game this gen.

Just scored JSA certified Nolan North Signature 16 x 20 Uncharted 4 picture for $63 shipped. It dropped off $105 last night.

Congrats! Nolan North is hilarious on Twitter.

I'll have to pick it up. I should look at our Hastings since everything is getting heavy discounts before they close their doors.

Absolutely, I'd be hard pressed to think of another dumb action game that's so thoroughly entertaining and surprisingly emotional like U4. I'm currently playing the new Tomb Raider game and it just can't compare. Have you played the previous 3? Those were remastered on PS4 as well.

 

[Jameson Rook]

Also, did any of you added anyone on our private Sideshow Freaks PSN group? I saw that we have a few new members that I didn't authorized. If those members are legit, then fine but I'm worried about the hack Zod mentioned few weeks back.

I played some of the third one (I think ) on my nephew's PS3. I remember liking it but didn't get to play it enough to really get into it. 4 looks really good though. I didn't know they remastered any of them for the PS4. I may look for those as well.

I haven't added anyone to the group. My account with Playstation has been messed with twice in the last year and my wife's account did as well. We each got our names banned or suspended at different times of the year. When we contacted Sony, both times they said there was some error but wouldn't explain it further. They just unblocked our names and ended the chat. I think they still have issues with people hacking them (besides the big ones they announce) and don't want people to freak out.

Oh, in that case you'd better play the "Nathan Drake Collection" on PS4. It has the first 3 games and it will set you up for the forth game. If I were to compare the series to anything, it's Firefly since they both have similar writing and Nathan Drake is basically Nathan Fillion.

If that's the case then I'll love it.

Hmm. Let's hope it's ether Pliss, Solidus or FSLAR then or I'll just remove these folks.

I can't think of any reason why you won't. The series is composed by Greg Edmonson (the composer of Firefly) and the series wears it's Firefly inspirations on it's sleeves. The story isn't brilliant, but the writing and interactions are. Nate and Mal are almost the same person just without the emotional baggage.

Speaking of Nathan Fillion, I thought maybe he'd attend Wizard World Tulsa this year since he cancelled last year but no announcement yet. I met him in Dallas a couple years ago but wanted to get my Mal's pistol replica signed.

That's so awesome you met him! I know he's less busy now that Castle was cancelled. Word had it he's doing more cons so I'm sure you'll get your chance. How was he in real life?

He was really nice and talked to my wife and I for much longer than I expected, especially considering how many people were in his line. He was rubbing anti-bacterial stuff on his hands every now and then and had too much when we got up there so he grabbed my wife's hands and started rubbing his hands all over hers to thin it out. I thought she was going to pass out. He asked me about my glasses and said he was considering getting some like them but wasn't sure if he'd like the thicker temple pieces. I left his table with a huge smile on my face because I just expected the normal "Hi. Name? Thanks for coming out. Next." conversation that a lot of celebrities do at conventions.

That's such a great story! As you know, Fillion is one of my favorite actors ever, it's great to know he's so cool in real life.

JESUS CHRIST! We just had a HUGE earthquake! My displays were shaking like crazy and all the cats freaked out. I'm actually surprised none of my figures or statues fell and broke. I'm glad I was awake for it because if I was sleeping and woke up to that I probably would have **** my bed.

Is everything (and everyone) okay now?

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Yeah, looks like it's finally stopped. It was a 5.8 about 20 miles from my house.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I'm about to throw out my coffee and have a cocktail and a cigarette instead.

 

[Jameson Rook]

That's good to know and I'm glad all is good. I remember you said you don't use display stands, maybe it's time to rethink that.
