@blzzzrrttt: No worries, thank you regardless for your generosity!

Do you mind if I grab Psychonauts? It's come up as a game we're covering on my podcast, but I don't have the money to buy it at the moment. :(

Lil' Peebles for ya.

@carcass427: Yeah, it's definitely had a quiet release both domestically and internationally. Shame, really, as it's every bit as unsettling as his previous film.

The Lobster was finally released in a theater within 50 miles of me, so I jumped at the chance to see it. For anybody unfamiliar with this director's work (Yorgos previously made Dogtooth, another favorite of mine), it's predicated on ripping apart the assumed 'conventions' of human expression, in this case how individuals form a romantic bond with one another. It's bizarre in a darkly self aware way, and is fronted by a ridiculous cast.

9.5/10 SEE IT.

@baronsamedi: You are a lifesaver. A part of me wants abandon the Silver Eagle just so I can parry (plus it's incredibly taxing on my equip load), but so far it's the only shield I've found that has 100% physical absorption.

Hey duders/duderettes!

My name is Caleb. I had a GB account quite some time ago, but that slowly washed away over the years. Figured I would rebrand myself with a new one instead of hounding down my old username and password. Absolutely adore this community--it's been fascinating seeing it grow so drastically, but still remain as supportive and wonderful as ever.

Anyway! I'm a freelance video game artist in my spare time, while working a part time job at a non-profit art studio that facilitates artists with developmental disabilities. If you're curious about some of my work, chikka-check my portfolio below. Excited to meet you all!

Am I crazy, or do some shields just not give you the option to parry? I'm rolling around with a Silver Eagle Kite, and any time I press L2 I default to my weapon's special stance.

@technician: That explains it. How much of an upcharge was there to change shipping priority? I had stacked a $25 credit on top of the $13 Prime discount, so I'm an idiot for not choosing one day.

How did you guys guarantee day one delivery? I'm a prime member, and pre-ordered well in advance. Even still, they're telling me that Thursday is when I'll be receiving my copy, which is suuuuuuch a bummer.
