    100% agree. That's the way it is with us. I handle it all but keep her up to date on everything.

    The vast majority of Priests decks aren't actually designed to win games. They're designed to not lose and is part of the reason I find them so annoying. I play one and I'm all "what the fuck is your win condition exactly?" It just seems a lot of them want to stall the game until you run out...

    So I'm sure this has been discussed before but who handles the finances in your households? I won't say I rule our finances with an iron fist but I do handle all of our finances. I'm the CPA so I'm expected to be good with money I guess and I'm fine with that. I make sure we both got paid...

    Your best RW, from those listed, is Y'shtola with SS2 and you probably should just leave it there. There might be others that get more uses but they aren't as needed as SS2. When someone is doing difficult content they NEED SS2 if they don't have their own. Other RWs are just luxuries.

    I had someone who went turn 1 Onyxia. Turn 2 Frostwolf Warlord + Frostwolf Warlord. I conceded on the spot. I won my game with an Alex opener, Malygos + Arcane Missiles to clear board and get some face damage and finished with Rhonin and 3 Salvos of Missiles to the face.

    I'd really like to see Denver and Peyton win it all and I'll be rooting for them. But I just don't, realistically, see them beating Carolina. I'll, happily, jump on the "at least it won't be the Pats" train too.

    We had some friends over and they wanted pizza last night. My body is NOT used to that kind of crap food anymore. It was good pizza but it made me really nauseous. My body has adapted to the low calorie healthy diet I've been on.

    Yeah I'd make Full Break and hone it to Rank 2 if possible. The orb requirements for Rank 3 are ridiculous though so you won't be going past 2 for awhile.

    Check out this link: An Idiot's Collection of An Idiot's Guides : FFRecordKeeper These are very good guides for the Ultimate fights. He fell behind on updates but seems to be back at it again. He tries to get a guide up about one or two events in advance so you have a bit of time to prepare.

    Rubicante wasn't too bad. I did have to S/L on him once or twice though just to get the timing of his Cloak though. I was reading up on our next Ultimate, Beatrix, and she sounds flat out nasty. AT two points in the fight she will take everyone to 1 hitpoint so if you don't have a good...

    This was, by far, the easiest Ultimate so far. This was the first one that I completed on the first try and it wasn't even close. Like a lot of other people I have really good VII Synergy and I loaded up on mitigation. Yeah Yuffie, surprisingly, isn't too bad. I'm starting to really like...

    Update on my "failed" diet. I'm down nearly 30 pounds now from Mid-November. I made a goal during the holidays not to be set back and was successful at that. My biggest change has been my diet. Based on a calculator (Tool: Calorie calculator - Mayo Clinic ) my break even is about 2,100...

    Seriously fuck that Counter-Dispel. It's retarded. I kept getting him to about 10% but would always run out of steam as stuff would expire. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go to a Retaliate Strategy. I hate wasting the 60 stamina to re-try the fight though.

    I finally finished Tales of Zestiria. I liked the game overall. But the combat system was, definitely, a step back from Tales of Xillia. But it had a good story and the pace seemed pretty good. The ending was a bit WTF? but I'm fine with it. Overall I think the first Xillia was better but...

    Completely agree with Ancient. Look at your Synergy and pull to fill in gaps. Keep some stockpiled in reserve for the best banners but if you're not caught up with the game you should be willing to spend a bit more liberally. I don't suggest taking all 200 Mythril and blowing through it but...

    The 5 star Accessory for the XIII Fang Event ultimate boss isn't very good. It's called Soulfont Talisman and gives +15 RES and moderate resistance to Blind. It's a very niche accessory. Yeah those look like my pulls. Two 11x pulls with no 5 stars followed by a last ditch 11x pull where I get...

    I've said for awhile that the Browns needed a season like they had last year. A truly awful season that makes them burn the team to the ground and start over. So far I'm cautiously optimistic. Some of the choices seem a bit unorthodox but I think we got it right with the Head Coach (Hue...

    Odin was very easy. All of his attacks are physical so go in with Attack Breakdown / Steal Power, Protectga and Wall. With all of that mitigation up he doesn't hit hard at all. Also take a Thunder based attack and keep it on standby for when he raises his sword. Hit him as soon as he does...
