Here you go... ...and for comparison. Stock is in position 3. Brat might approve. Maybe.

This is probably the wrong place for serious opinions, but here goes anyway: I'm looking to sell a custom AR and not sure how to value it, so I was hoping to get some serious opinions as to what you all think it's worth. Platform is a Noveske N6 Gen 1 chainsaw upper/lower/BCG, with mostly Troy components/furniture (13" Bravo quad Battlerail, folding tritium sights, Battle Ax CQB stock, sling mounts, muzzle brake, etc.) but exceptions are Giessele 2-stage trigger (think it's the SSA), Ergo grip, BCM Gunfighter 3B charging handle, and EOTech 512. Parted out it's probably worth $1,750-$2000 give or take, I'd guess. Brand new, I think it was about $2700 before the EOTech but that was four years ago and I don't remember. There's maybe 50 rounds through it and not a scratch. I just never really used it. Noveske still sells the Gen 1 u/l and complete rifles. What do you all think? Is it worth $2500? More? Less?

The Searchers would like a talk with you.

And that's part of the problem. Those are all great movies, but Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction are barely in the discussion for GOAT list, and L.A. Confidential isn't. That doesn't change the fact that they're still great movies, or that the 90s were a great decade for movies. Out of the 90s you have Schindler's List, The Silence of the Lambs, Saving Private Ryan, Unforgiven, and The Shawshank Redemption as likely the greatest movies of the 90s, with only Schindler's List being part of the discussion for top 10-20 GOAT, then you have Forrest Gump, Dances With Wolves, Titanic, Goodfellas, The Sixth Sense, and Pulp Fiction in the discussion for honorable mention. So anything since 2017 that approaches Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, and L.A. Confidential? Probably. Maybe you don't think so and maybe you disagree, but I'd put The Dark Knight, Inside Out, Boyhood, Mad Max: Fury Road, Zero Dark Thirty, The Grand Budapest Hotel, I Am Not Your Negro, The Big Short, and Inception, maybe a few others, in the discussion for honorable mention GOAT--not top 100, but worthy of mention.

How many universally-regarded "great" movies are there? Maybe it's just bizarre to think that every decade will produce one of the 10 or 20 greatest American movies: Casablanca (40s), The Godfather (70s), Raging Bull (80s), Citizen Kane (40s), Vertigo (50s), Gone With The Wind (30s?), The Empire Strikes Back (80s), The Shawshank Redemption (90s), The Searchers (50s), 2001: A Space Odyssey (60s), Apocalypse Now (70s), etc. Then there are non-American produced films that are worthy of being all-time greats: Shichinin no Samurai (Seven Samurai), Bronenosets Potyomkin (Battleship Potemkin), Tōkyō Monogatari (Tokyo Story), La Règle du Jeu (The Rules of the Game), Ladri di biciclette (Bicycle Thief), La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc (The Passion of Joan of Arc), etc. The 2000s had some great movies: Memento, The Dark Knight, The Incredibles, The Departed, No Country For Old Men, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, There Will Be Blood, Children of Men, Mulholland Drive, LOTR: The Two Towers (more like all three films together, but if you have to choose one...), Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Silver Linings Playbook, City of God, etc., that were each worthy of consideration among the best 10-20 of the decade, last twenty years, maybe quarter century...but not necessarily of all time. That doesn't mean they aren't great. Likewise with the 2010s: Inception, Django Unchained, Manchester by the Sea, Gravity, Inside Out, Boyhood, Dunkirk, 12 Years a Slave, Zero Dark Thirty, Birdman, The Big Short, The Wolf of Wall Street, Argo, Toy Story 3, Skyfall, The Avengers, her, American Hustle, etc., again worthy of consideration for great films of the last 20, 25, or even 30 years. Again, not necessarily of all time. Still doesn't mean they aren't great. It's kind of like the thread about the the greatest basketball players of all time. James Harden and Russell Westbrook are great, but are they even top 50? Probably not, but that doesn't mean they aren't great. They're easily top 50 of the last 10, 25, and maybe even 30 years, but not all time. How many current players crack the top 50? Lebron, KD, Steph Curry, Chris Paul, Kawhi Leonard? And of those, how many are top 10-20? Lebron and KD? Doesn't mean Steph, CP, Kawhi, etc. aren't great. Every decade has produced 10-20 great movies.

Same here. I don't think they knew what they had on their hands, even though they had some really great content. Jump to Lightspeed might have been the greatest expansion of any MMO ever. When I was waiting for my bar results I went to Alliance Master Pilot with Havoc, then changed allegiances and went to Imperial Ace so I could get the Jedi Starfighter, then went back to the Alliance and did it again for the Crimson Phoenix badge.

I tried for about a month a year or so ago but the bugs and omissions made it unplayable for crafting. Has it gotten any better?

Luckily for me it didn't come out until the summer after 2L when my class rank was already decided and I'd done all of my shitty law review time. Pretty much all I did on weekdays for the last year of law school was play golf in the afternoon and then SWG until server reset.

If they brought Johnny back, I figured they could get the whole All-Valley gang back together.

If you know, is it like crafting in Skyrim or one of the other TSEs? Otherwise, I'll take a look. For some reason I can't articulate, I've been avoiding ESO.

Years and years ago I played Star Wars Galaxies. I'm old. Before it got destroyed it had one of the greatest crafting components of any MMO maybe ever--all the way from mining/hunting/scavenging for resources and components, to obtaining blueprints/schematics, to detailed specialties and sub-specialties for weapons/machinery/vehicles/homes, to merchandising and marketing. Regardless of where SWG ended up, the crafting component was fantastic at best and no worse than merely good from inception to termination. I haven't found another MMO that has anything like it and gave up on MMOs when my first kid was born about six years ago. I tried LOTRO and SWTOR and did the trials for a few others, but nothing with the depth and breadth of SWG. My kids are school age now and I finally have some time on my hands--not infinite amounts of time, but they're pretty good now at keeping themselves occupied for an hour or so at a time with toys and books and I don't have to constantly keep them from stumbling into injury and things they're not supposed to be getting into. Is there any MMO out there now that comes close to the crafting/exploring component of SWG?

No Elisabeth Shue? WTF

I heard Chip Brown is attracted to little boys.

Great movie.

A long time ago there was a shitpost/postcount thread at Shaggy. It was in Bellmont, I think. Is it so wrong to want some sense of continuity and not have to jump through all the hoops again? Also...where do I exchange my 189k reputation points?

And now you understand. Anything goes wrong, anything at all... your fault, my fault, nobody's fault... it won't matter - I'm gonna blow your head off. No matter what else happens, no matter who gets killed I'm gonna blow your head off.

It’s a lie. It’s all a lie.

If I had to guess, I’d say 48B.

Holy shit. That’s where that comes from. I’ve been saying it for about 20 years.

Profane? Or really offensive?

Life expectancy for a cairn terrier? I need more information...what's your bra size?

He was a lawyer, right? Pretty much all lawyers are tools.
