Following the day where you're thankful for what you have comes a holiday pushed by corporate America. An event to promote selfishness and to encourage needless consumerism by convincing people that they don't have enough. What did you pick up? I ordered a cheap PC case(Phanteks Eclipse G300A) with a grey 120mm Noctua fan to go with it. Two things I 100% don't need.

Don't really care for it myself but I can see how it could hit some people right in the nostalgia button.

I'm reading this entire series and just finished that book. I always wondered what happened with the Tin Woodman's head and how he could be the same person after it got replaced. This book explains that and it's kinda messed up. It's why I'm typing out this thing that nobody is going to care about. Before anything, I should tell you that nobody dies in Oz....Except for the witches Dorthy killed but whatever. The Tin Woodman is a man named Nick Chopper. Nick loved a Munchkin girl and that pissed off the witch who held her captive. This witch enchanted his axe and one by one, he ended up chopping off all of his body parts. The witch even got in some of fun herself and hacked at his body with his own axe. After every incident, he'd go to a tin smith and he'd make him a new body part. Of course one day he rusted and Dorthy saved him after some time had passed. Eventually the Tin Woodman decides he would find his old sweet heart and marry her thus the adventure began. He claimed that his heart was not capable of love but felt that it was his duty to marry her to reward her loyalty. On this journey, him and his companions(The Scarecrow and a boy named Woot) came across a Tin solider. He had the exact same story has Nick Chopper and even loved the same Munchkin girl. They decide to find her together and let her choose who she would marry. After finding her old home empty, they went to the tin smith who created their bodies to see if he knew her whereabouts. The tin smith wasn't home but they entered his house where Nick Chopper found his old head in a cupboard. This head was still alive. It was cranky and it's personality was different from when Nick had it. It also didn't seem to have any memories besides his name. The tin smith comes home and explains that after finding some magic glue, he used the body parts of both the Tin Woodman and The Tin solider to make a new person. Being short an arm, he had to fashion one out of tin. He also had to shave one leg down to get them to match in length. One day this patchwork person decided he would leave to go adventuring and never came back. You can probably see where this is going. Towards the end of the book, they all find the Munchkin girl. They discovered her and the patchwork man were married. Like Nick's head, the man was very disagreeable, rude and not a lot going on upstairs but it seemed the the girl didn't mind as long as he did basic chores. I Ieft out a lot of the details and other events but that's basically his story. They said their farewells and left her alone.

I don't care for the song one way or another. Just thought that a new song by them was interesting.

Every playthrough. Little shit has it coming.

It has been nearly 20 years since Monster. Wasn't expecting a new Astro Boy series and I definitely didn't expect it from the guy who did Monster. Looks like the really mixed the art styles.

It's named Daima and it's something that absolutely nobody wanted.

I'll eat apple sauce but I never go out of my way to get it.

No shit. It's Top Secret.

Think I saw 10 seconds of the 2nd one and nope'd right out.

Or does the water get him instead?

I'm not entirely convinced that it's not a Pokemon.

I think it's just a reflex on FBs part at this point.

I best run ins are the ones where you're trying to remember who the hell they are for the entire conversation.

So since this post I've learned there are 13 books. I'm on book five now. I'm only reading during breaks at work so it's going to take me a while to get through all of them. They're books for children but I like to target books that have a lot of cultural significance.

This must be a dream come true for Sponges.

So I finished the book and I'm not sure what to say about it. Not even sure if I'd recommend it or not. The structure of the book is weird. It goes back and fourth between subjects and just goes off on tangents. I think that's done to draw you into the books universe or to subliminally set your mind up. There is a lot of attention to detail, lots of references and puzzles of sorts of look into. My next book will be the Wizard of Oz.

House of Leaves. I'm most of the way through it(A little over 100 pages left) but I still don't know how I feel about it. The thing I can say I like about the book is that it's different and a unique addition to my collection. Formatting it must have been a bit of an undertaking.

Forgot all about this song until I heard it in a book store the other day. Didn't think much about it when it came out but I seem to have a new found appreciation for it.

Knew what this thread was going to be about before I even clicked it. Was just telling a friend about how nonsensical these isekai have gotten the other day and then this comes out...

No idea this was going to be a thing but yeah, two episodes are up. I've only watched the first episode and about to watch the 2nd. It seems to be a remake with some changes. So this is basically just a heads up for those who may be interested.

I get up to use the restroom once or twice but can otherwise stay asleep. Helps that I now have a job with regular hours so my internal clock does it's thing.

Thanks guys. Sorry I'm a bit late. Just got back into state yesterday.

Not a lot and the ones I did make never really took off. Ironically, my most popular thread here was split off from another thread. I didn't even make it.
