    Fuck that, everytime I use them they hit maybe once a game. I've played against Abyssal Dwarves though and got raped because the dice gods were kind to them.

    Speaking of career change, one of the teachers at my school was arrested for selling drugs 2 days ago. Cops did 4 controlled buys before arresting him.

    Sucks bro, I got lucky. Normally I'm only in for about 5-6 hours every other Monday and then get to walk around with a bag for 2 days. Pain in the ass but it's better than being stuck at the hospital. Also, everything tastes like pennies.

    This is true, we have the same problems they just come from the "holler." Parents are drugged out and dont give a shit, kids dont give a shit and want to fight everyone. It's like Lean on Me but with white people.

    I'm not complaining about the hours or the fact that unless I'm snorting coke off a teenagers titties while railing her best friend at school while on tape with 6 witnesses present I can't be fired. Its the fact that I take pride in what I do, no matter what I'm doing. Whether it's working at a...

    Yes. Sadly most of the private schools around here are religious. Not my cup of tea personally.

    Long story short being a teacher sucks balls. I currently teach English at the high school level and it sucks. It feels more like retail than education, "gotta get those numbers up!" Instead of sales it's test scores. I have a B.S. in education with a focus on secondary school (middle and...

    Went to the pre-release at SCG in Roanoke Va. Little brother has gotten heavy into Magic and asked if I would take him. I haven't really played since Kamigawa. Got my ass kicked, had fun though.

    Warmachine is popular here because we the few 40k players we have are complete assholes. They go out of their way to shit on every other game. It pisses people off and they just stop playing 40k. Hopefully 8th edition pisses the old bastards off and they die of heart attacks.

    Theres a couple of AoS players around here (Charleston WV) but mainly they are the die-hard GW lovers. No matter what GW does they defend it. KoW and Warmahordes are the most popular table-top games. We have 6-8 KoW players on Tuesdays and 12-15 for Warmahorde nights.

    Its a simpler faster game than WHFB while still being very deep strategically. It's got good rules that are easier to pick up. Also you can use any models you want to represent units in game. Try it out, it's rule set was designed for tournaments and it can be played quickly.

    Fantastic, I'm hoping 8th edition slims the rules down a bit and not require 6+ codex to play a game. The models GW are coming out with are simply amazing and I want to play again, just not have to drop money on numerous books just to field a viable force.

    Very nice, yah got talent bro. Been playing a bunch of KoW lately. Signed up for Daycon in Ohio and Manticon in TN. Might still go to Adepticon in Chicago and T-n-T in TN. Wish I could go to Lone Wolf GT, I've heard rumors @Phazael may show up to that.

    Not in intense pain anymore, I've figured out the whole bag thing (kinda). Chemo is in 6-8 weeks, it will be with the port this time so I'm curious if I'm going to lose my hair. If so I've already got a couple of my students on tap to pencil me in some awesome eyebrows. I think I may go for the...

    No, it's something I'm going to talk to the nurses about. I joined a support group which has been helping a lot. As with most 'Murican dudes I never thought having someone to talk to would ever be useful but between this board and the support group it has eased a lot of fears.

    Next week is my last week of radiation and chemo. It honestly hasn't been too bad. Had some pretty serious but problem but Gas-X and some Flexeril have mad life a little easier.
