    Greece - A New Hope

    This from Tsipras/Syriza Most of you, dear [German] readers, will have formed a preconception of what this article is about before you actually read it. I am imploring you not to succumb to such preconceptions. Prejudice was never a good guide, especially during periods when an economic...

    Greece - A New Hope

    They didn't just ignore it they were complicit in it. They knew exactly what was going on but it suited Germanys financial markets to have a place to put their money. BBC News - Did Germany sow the seeds of the eurozone debt crisis? Further, in the very article you linked it underlines...

    Greece - A New Hope

    This is interesting : Yanis Varoufakis as Finance Minister has drawn quite a bit of media attention. His description of EU-IMF bailout programmes as "fiscal waterboarding" has been doing the rounds. Varoufakis recently gave a comprehensive interview to Spanish daily El Mundo, where he...

    Greece - A New Hope

    Largely agree with you, but let's be clear that article is written by the editor of one of the UKs most right wing newspapers, owned by the Barclay brothers who have assets of ?6billion and not far off the Fox News of British media. This is the real problem, not that Greece is not right or...

    Greece - A New Hope

    Not sure if you guys are getting any/much coverage of the elections in Greece but a radical anti austerity party has arisen and come just 2 seats short of a majority this week. The striking thing is that they have formed a coalition with a right wing party that has almost opposite views on many...

    I like G/R Monsters and can see it doing more this time around. Tom Ross initially put together the G/B deck with Eidolon of Blossoms/Pharika etc - it's problem was it didn't have an answer to early Mantis Riders and, later, Rhinos. Now it can look at Xenagos, God of Revels into a hasted Atarka...

    I'm in. Happy to hook up if you guys want. Maybe work together on a treasure map rune library ? For folks considering it, it's worth a go. They've implemented a lot more (eg colored ore making magic weapons/armor, BoDs, changed the king and military system, all dungeons have been...

    I feel you mate - I have military PTSD. First time I've been out of my house in a couple months and I nearly turned around and came home just before I got to the store >< edit : As an aside, Citadel Siege was massive for me as was Mastery of the Unseen. Great card.

    Went Jeskai for pre release hoping to get a Soulfire, but no luck. Got a mish mash and had to play three colors (Jeskai) and a splash into green for Yasova. We kind of get screwed on prices and prizes over here. I paid just over $40, came second out of 80 people and only got 6 boosters...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Only problem with judging from the first 20 levels is you actually end up using abilities and skills from mulitple classes, where a lot of the class just using their own skills are pretty duff until lvl 30 or more.

    Only skim read so not sure if it was mentioned but you may not be aware Scholars base class is Arcanist and is the only class that levels up two jobs concurrently - Scholar and Summoner. Summoner is pet DPS. You can switch between Scholar and Summoner and they both get the XP. You'll need to do...

    Suspect it is closer to 50/50 on getting banned. It was only in a minority of the top 8 decks in the Modern GP a few weeks ago, although it was in the winning deck. It didn't dominate the Modern stage in the World Championship this week. Not to say that it doesn't deserve to be banned, but I...

    Control is pretty weak right now. I'm expecting it to get a boost through new cards in Fate Reforged and/or Dragons of Tarkir. As an aside, it got tossed into casual conversation on the World Championship coverage a few minutes ago that Helene Bergeot will be on this weekend making an...

    Shroud Of The Avatar - Shit Went Persistent

    I wouldn't buy this to play before release. They haven't followed a traditional development of put everything in then polish up things over time, they've left out whole systems (eg combat was put in quite late) and put them in sequentially. I could be wrong - I haven't played it for a couple...
