  1. Yep, I've never been a pre-order guy or gotta play on opening day type but this might be the exception. I've watched the preview a couple of times and all of the little details just add up to make it look incredible:

    the facial reactions when getting hit

    injuries are to specific locations and not just a generic damage. Shooting the lady in the face shows exactly where she was hit. Ellie getting hit by an arrow means she has to pull it out from that specific spot.

    animations just look smoother, she can pick something up and throw it without breaking stride

    even seeing little things like the bow cross-hair in the shape of the fireflies logo is just a subtle but cool touch

  2. So I made a big mistake.

    Usually I avoid trailers/previews for games and movies since they usually fail to deliver or give away too much story. And for the original Last of Us I consider that as an interactive movie so it double-downs on the preview risk. But I was weak. Surfing the Youtubes and noticed they had the E3 gameplay trailer posted. Tried to fight the urge but couldn't hold back and pressed that magical play button. And now I completely regret it. BECAUSE THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE FUCKING EPIC!!! Now I can't sit still without thinking how badass this game is going to be.

    I'm not sure if the new one can touch the emotional range of the first but I trust Naughty Dog will put together a strong story. However the gameplay portion just looks fucking incredible. The animations, the actions, the visual and audio details all look superb. The attention to detail is just stunning.

    Protesting your Property Value for Dummies

    5. Bring photos and estimates of needed repairs. There is a good chance an appraiser has not been to your house in years (maybe ever). You’ll need to show them what your property looks like and why your house is different from everyone else’s. You need to present your house as the ugliest house on the block with all its faults and structural fails.

    This is my best advice for getting a reduction in value.

    3. Photos and Repair Estimates are your best evidence. The CAD appraisers can’t see inside your home. They don't know that it hasn't been updated or that there are foundation problems. It’s your job to inform them so take some good photos, ideally 8-10 clear and centered images will illustrate your concerns. Note: the CAD and the ARB can’t accept the digital photos on your phone so stop at Walgreens and print out your pics. If there is something wrong with your house, have a contractor come out and give you an estimate for repairs to support your photos. Don’t expect a dollar-for-dollar reduction, if the appraiser gives consideration for 2/3 the total of the estimate, I’d consider that a win.

     

     

    Good stuff there, any other tips on getting them to knock off prices based on recent damages? In year 2 of home ownership with an increase of 10%, not as terrible as some of you old fucks but still a kick to my wallet. I'm definitely not the surly 2% and need every amero I can get. 

    Just confirmed water damage from a pipe leak. Its older house so when they stripped out drywall/flooring we identified wood root & mold. Plus outside drainage problems that may have contributed as well. Still working on insurance to see what will be covered but right now the place is an absolute dump compared to my purchase price from 2016.
