I got the Soundtrack of The Thing on Vinyl, found it on a flea market. I’m a big fan of this movie, but who the fuck is this for? The soundtrack on its own is kinda… Strange and i cant imagine someone coming home from work after a long day, grab a drink, sit down on their couch and listen to an hour of this:

Hefty price for a record. You must be a big fan! I saw her at Lollapalooza a couple years ago. She was good.

Oh ho ho this can be said about any type of music, but I’ll entertain this question. Usually in film making a first cut of a film is put together before a score is created. This is usually done so the composer can manifest music from what they seen on screen

That being said The Thing is notorious for having its score done even before a cut of the film was ready and Ennio Morricone kinda winged it created a score that fits the tone of the movie with a sense of dread, paranoia, isolation and the mysticism behind what is “the thing”.

Now personally The Thing and it’s score is something I wouldn’t actively put on blasting for everyone to hear, but that’s largely due to general opinion. It’s easier to explain Lady Gaga to a person then it is listening to repetitive beats from a 1980’s Monster Movie. So when it comes to film scores that’s reserved for my Air Pods when I’m doing tasks.

I hope she isn’t charging that for them! If they aren’t made anymore and have become collectible / sought after and there aren’t many around then I can understand the second hand price going up and up and up, but 200 for a record is pretty steep.

Well… I’ve got quite a few soundtracks in this style. My latest purchase:

And yes, I listen to this for almost an hour. Sometimes playing Hitman with no sound along to this. Great atmosphere!

Those records are pretty rare. They usually go for prices around $400 (EU version). For the US version of this disc $400 is even kind of cheap now. They sell for up to 600-700.

I think the original retail price was around 30-40 dollars, but i got a pretty good deal for one that’s sealed, i’m planning on spending 600 dollars on another one of her records :confused:

Lifting straps that goes with my late bday present a Powerlifting belt, wrist wraps, knee sleeves and albow wraps. I don’t have all of the gear with today.

And I bought Bloodborne yesterday. So time to get gut and deadlift with for maximum strength.

Cool setup. Even the can of Monster Ultra suits your colour scheme.

I made a reservation ($5 deposit) towards a Steam Deck a couple days ago.

Why? It’s mainly due to the novelty of being able to play my entire Steam Library on the go. This is perfect for me since in 2023 I’ll be traveling a lot. And I want to play RDR2 on the go. Plus it’s just cool hardware.

now I’ll just need to get a good power bank.

Recently I played Yakuza Kiwami (which also made me go back to the Yakuza 0 side content I still haven’t done), and playing oicho-kabu in the game reminded me that I’ve been meaning to get myself a deck of Nintendo kabufuda cards for years now (but somehow forgot about it lol).

I never bumped into one in any store, so I just finally ordered it a few weeks back :slightly_smiling_face:

The 12 pack of 12oz cans was $5.39, so how much do you think the 10 pack of 7.5oz cans was? it was $5.79 :joy:
