    Basically for sealed you sort by rarity see your best rares, and craft your deck around your bombs and removal. Making a synergistic deck is very difficult in sealed so you basically just pick the strongest cards available to you.

    In animation no. There is this:Flashpoint World Of Flashpoint Batman TP:Amazon:Books Flashpoint is only a couple years old though so they haven't really revisited it. (Probably won't either with the new52 in place).

    Too many games?

    I was looking at that photo there and was like, I certainly can't be that bad. And it's true, I'm actually worse. What I've finished this year: What I have yet to pass: It's those goddamn sandbox games man. They eat up SO MUCH TIME, and I finished four of them this year.

    FNM is usually standard, modern, and/or draft. Depending on what the store owner is supporting that week (usually standard) or whether they can gather 8 people wanting to draft. Standard is current expert level block + last years block + last years core set + this years core set (when it...

    Hearthstone

    Nah Flash is instant, and your land is in play before his main phase. So you can do this combo on his upkeep before he plays a land. That being said Flash is banned in legacy, so it is a vintage combo. A format nobody plays not the least of which is that decks run into the THOUSANDS of...

    Hearthstone

    Mages might be a little too strong in this game just due to the fact that you are guaranteed hit your mana every turn. In a burn Deck in MTG it is rare that you ever get enough mana to be able to cast a spell like pyroblast which can do 30 percent of your life in a cast. Perhaps the fix is...

    Amazing Spider-Man 2

    Spiderman 2 is great, I watched it when I was in a similar position to Peter Parker (broke and in University living in a shitty room 2 hours by bus off campus), so for some reason I have an personal affinity to the movie. Doesn't hurt that Doc Ock is a conflicted and interesting villain. Plus...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Well apparently she's 5'9". If she trains seriously she might actually look athletic enough to pull off the physicality. Then again the women in Sucker Punch were tiny as well. So I doubt Snyder cares.

    The Astronomy Thread

    It's kind of a bad example. Especially when we're talking about comets because comets have a tail made up of dust and ice. In space there is no air or anything for the 'tail' to drag against, but it's trailing behind the comet instead of hovering around it. It's because the sun is constantly...

    Hearthstone

    The game is designed to be kinda one dimensional in archetypes. Aggro or bust basically, control is hampered due to: - Weak sweepers, most are expensive or one sided. One sided sweepers favor aggro more than control just due to the huge tempo swing of having creatures while they have none...

    Hearthstone

    Most people in M:tG play proven decklists in tournaments. So for the most part they can study the metagame and know the full main 60 cards of most decks they will face. Not true of course for draft/sealed.

    Not sure how that's related to the Rhino since they're from a line way older than humans, the Ice Age relic version of them went awhile ago.

    Comic Books

    You're right, but I'm not to sure a comic company is going to fall over themselves to hire a new somebody who can only work fast enough to do covers. Unless, again, they are just awesome. Alcala wasn't really given an opportunity to find his voice though, a little different than never finding...

    Jack Kirby was 44 when he drew Fantastic Four and became the most influential artist of the silver age after working in the business for 25 years at that point. Can't knock the old farts too badly. It's not exactly easy to break into comics when there isn't an upstart company hiring tons of...

    The choice of the six faces was weird really though. It might just be six comedians he likes, it's obviously not the six most influential. Probably the most influential stand-up that people forget was a stand-up.

    The 90's as in a collective group of artists which started in the 90's or a collective group which all worked in the 90's? Little confused. Half the people you mention in your list started in the 80's but also worked in the 90's.

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    They can add pretty much anything they want really, the cartoon added stuff, pretty sure the "Wolverine and the X-men" cartoon had this as a premise too and it was totally different. I assumed he was asking about the original comic. Although, if X3 is any indicator, faithfulness to the...

    Inglourious Basterds

    Style difference halfway? Sure. Doesn't really change the facts though, unless they're just outright lying in interviews and faking it on the little documentary that was filmed on the filming of From Dusk Till Dawn and the labour issues associated with them film.

    Inglourious Basterds

    He wrote all of From Dusk Till Dawn, Rodriguez directed all of it. It's pretty obvious from interviews at the time they were all about impressing horror fans with practical effects and didn't give two shits about the critics.

    Inglourious Basterds

    The first chapter in this movie (the part with Waltz and the french dairy farmer) is by far the best part of this movie. Actually, if this was a 20 minute short film just consisting the first 20 minutes, I'd probably recommend it to everybody. Really demonstrates the banality of evil. The...

    Man of Steel

    Luthor, Zod, Brainiac, Bizarro, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Doomsday. Those six are probably as memorable as Batman's A-list villians. The thing is that Batman literally has the best rogues gallery of any hero. It might be because Batman needs villians more for interesting storytelling actually. A lot...

    I enjoyedOld Man Logan, although the final showdown was a bit of Mark Millar's signature over the top silliness. It's like his other seriesWantedexcept Old Man Logan has some hope to it in the end instead of bleak darkness. I'm still not sure where he banged 16 year old Jubilee though. (17...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I think a lot of the issues with DA:2 was that it was rushed out the door as soon as possible. DA:O was released in Nov 2009, DA2 was released in Mar 2011, which is like a year and a half between games, it's not surprising that the game feels semi-complete in that state. This is projected to...

    How will the world (or maybe just civilization) end in the next 50 years? (Poll)

    The most likely way the civilization will end in the next 50 years, if it in fact happens is either nuclear war (which seems unlikely now but in 50 years who knows), or a truly lethal pandemic. Some of the other stuff is unlikely but certainly civilization ending (no kilometer wide asteroids or...

    JL: The Flashpoint Paradox.

    Yeah this one is pretty good, Flash never gets enough good stories in other media, even though he's the favorite character of a bunch of comic writers. The artwork is especially good in this one as well.

    Standard has been a turn 4 format for awhile now. That's the turn blitz kills you now, that's the turn Primeval titan was ramped out last two standards, that's the turn Splinter twin killed you etc etc. Hell, Tempered Steel and infect were turn 3 decks in standard last year.
