Excitement, if you haven't done it before. Dread, if you have.

talking about the player or the company? The player doesn't have that option. Your money is converted into $USD when you deposit. It's not until you withdraw that you get it converted back to btc. It's certainly not without risk on the company's side, but with how much btc is going up, they...

and? What's your point exactly? That anyone with any magic cards should be a mtg finance expert? If they were, the few people who put in the time/effort to keep on top of these things wouldn't make any money. Even if Ancient Tomb goes up to 200 in 3 months, you'd have to compare that with what...

Its definitely time travel, but it might also be a different dimension. The earth blew up like a 100 years ago, the station has been there over 90 years. They were prophecized to be coming from 'the past'. We are definitely in the future, but it might be an alternate time line, of course.

I wouldnt ever do that. From the few vids ive watched of him buying collections, if it isnt reserved list hes not even as competitive as card kingdom or scg. Which, i totally get his position there. But, he's not buying/selling as many cards as most card shops. Hes holding bigger ticket items...

I have read other stephenson stuff, snow crash and diamond age, but not that one. He wasnt bad, tho diamond age takes awhile to get going and then falls off a cliff in craziness, but like i said its not specifically 'cyberpunk' that i like. I used to think thats what it was, but there are quite...

huh? I said Neuromancer is my favorite book of all time. I've read all that, The Blue Ant and Bridge trilogies. Bridge was good, but it's like halfway between the tech of Neuromancer and current day. I want more Neuromancer level stuf (and when I say neuromancer, I really mean the whole Sprawl...

I think there's almost more money to be made in certain auxiliary markets then direct btc investment, if you have the means and connections. Poker/betting sites have taken btc for a awhile now, and they are making money hand over fist just with how much btc they get to sit on all the time. ex...

yea, I'll probably get around to it and enjoy reading it, but the 'near future' setting is never my absolute favorite. I'm hoping to find some more gems along the lines of Altered Carbon/Neuromancer.

Posted this in the Altered Carbon thread, and realized I should ask here too. "So, I read the Kovach books, and they are some of my favorites ever. I realize they might not be the best 'writing' ever, but I love the hardcore sci fi, high technology, cyberpunk style.. and these were the best...

So, I read the Kovach books, and they are some of my favorites ever. I realize they might not be the best 'writing' ever, but I love the hardcore sci fi, high technology, cyberpunk style.. and these were the best I'd read since Neuromancer (my favorite) to scratch that itch. Other 'cyberpunk'...

Is this the same guy from awhile ago you posted about? Or are you crazy enough to do all that for a 2nd friend? :-)

well, or if you focus on higher priced/reserved list cards. It's orders of magnitude harder to invest in standard, modern and even some legacy cards and turn a profit. Especially since WotC started reprinting lots of staples the last few years in various products. Is it possible? Sure, but most...

The cost to ship internationally, in a reasonable time frame, will eat half that extra profit. I ran an online card store for awhile, and even i think getting 135 for a card sellinf at 150 on tcg is a great deal, especially for a non-dealer. When id sell a card for 150 on tcg, id probably...

I loved that line since most fan theories were about them effectively becoming S.W.O.R.D. or involved with them in some way. Not sure how I feel about this season yet. I liked the episode, but no Fitz?? Just doesn't feel like the same show now. It was still entertaining, but they've basically...

I thought this, but I had people on reddit tell me Blizz confirmed they do NOT lose durability when their effect happens. It makes no sense to me that they designed it that way (so, i guess it makes perfect sense then, right?!).

Why wouldn't they agree to 8's plans? They made a point of saying she basically saved each of them, she was the leader and she is the one with powers. I don't know what you mean by robbing the gas station being a plot hole. They are living off the radar, being hunted by the police and...

Thats an invalid question. You havent defined any parameters. For one, you havent defined who 'you' are. Straight white male that quit becaude they made alesha a trans? Middle aged dude that out grew the game cause he got married/had kids/demanding job? Depending who 'you' are, i dont really...

Ahh, the weirding WAY. Paul teaches them that, ok. I knew he taught them 'Weirding something' and demonstrated it for them. Also, obviously we rename 'Muad'Dib's Jihad' to 'Muad'dib's Murder and Mayhem Movement' and we're good to go. Call me, Hollywood, I got more where that came from.

Yea, i was hoping that was the direction they were going when they introduced 8.. but, they also made a point of saying how they only knew each other. Implying most of the others never panned out, or otherwise didnt develop powers. I mean, it was only an implication, they didnt totally close...

Cause there was over a dozen posts from your side before i said a god damned thing, and ive not made even a 3rd as many posts. Its all fine when youve got 5 mouth breathing alt-right shitheads all sucking each other off with how 'real' you all are, but one person disagrees and im 'sperging...

err, did I see Penny do his *BAMF* disappearing act in that trailer? Does he still have his Traveler ability without magic being around?

man.. that preview of the episode, holy crap. Why does it seem like the last few Doctors REALLY hit their stride at the end of their runs? Also, the combination of Hartnell as the 1st and Capaldi has so much chemistry. I really wish they had put them together sooner, somehow. Capaldi's doctor...

who said anything about consent.. -_-

but see.. it wasn't that her and her crew were bad, I actually liked THEM. I hated how they only had her in ONE fucking episode and how out of place it felt to the rest of the story. Had they brought them into the main storyline, teamed up with 11 to defeat the shadow monster or something, that...

So, going from 100% to 95% of the fictional characters being straight males causes you to hate the entire game? ok then. You have some misplaced anger if that is THAT upsetting to you. Wrong. Don't get your data from Rudy. That info was taken out of context from a Maro tweet. He was referring...

Honestly, in the interest of fairness, I did not know that. Know why? I don't really give a shit what genitals she/he has. Those were just the first 3 female names I could think of that I've seen who have more of an interest in the game competitively, rather then EDH/cosplay/whatever. But, as...

Jesus christ some of you guys are as pussy shit as all the 'feel feel SJWs' and just cant admit it. 'Alienating' you by making a couple of their fictional characters on cards female/gay instead of straight males? By telling people to just NOT be assholes to women? They arent forcing you to...

Ok, no.. there isnt a problem in depicting people of muslim decent in a film. Even 'muslim slave descendants'. If they make them all one dimensional thugs constantly raping or murdering for no reason, suicide bombing a children's orphanage, or flying a plane into a skyscraper.. then yes some...

jesus some of you have such a hardon to hate you jump to conclusions way too quick. I live in the country. Rural Arkansas, 40 minutes from the nearest actual town over 5k in population. Most of the characters were VERY accurate to how some people act, especially when seen through a comedic...

err.. then I think you are approaching it wrong. Overload just delays paying the mana cost. A one sided 2-3 damage board clear would cost 5ish mana. You only pay 3 now and 2 the next turn for it. A 7/7 should cost 6-7 mana, you pay 4 for it up front and 2 the next turn. Ex: It's turn 5, you...

Y'know, actually the more i look at all the rosters.. there's an intereting storyline to any of them being good. Im kinda just rooting for NA to be better in general, dont care who is on top. I mean, even a team that looks weak in comparison, such as GG, would have an intriguing story if it...

If TL doesnt work, that shows you how good the IMT coach was. I mean, maybe flame fits their style better then impact, or doublelift's shot calling conflicts with xmithie/olleh's, but those seem like small hurdles compared to the raw talent upgrade. They should be a top 4 team at least, being...

If C9 gets the 'good' sven back, they arent bad at all. The best version of sven is probably better then contractz last year and Licorice has a very high ceiling from what ive heard. He has shown potential without the support and coaching system of C9, so maybe they take him to another level...

@Brando Yea, your first post made it sound like you were just playing thrall on 5, even on an empty board. Thats why he said that. But, you should normally be aiming to do something like evolve a doppelgangster or saronite at least. Something that cheats the mana costs a bit. Thats where you...

Well, I was mostly right so far (not that it wasn't pretty obvious) and Biofrost joined CLG since aphro is officially leaving. There was really only two potential outcomes there, Aphro stays and Bio goes to 100T, or Aphro leaves (I'm guessing either to 100T or he's gonna retire/take a break to...

So, 'ambush' is the card that summons 4/4s for your opponent.. from that rogue card that put them into your opponent's deck. I first read this card as putting that version of ambush in your deck, which would summon the 4/4s for opponent. Just dont understand why they used the same wording if...

Hmm.. priest gets twisting nether for 1 mana less with the only drawback being you can't really fatigue opponent? Yea, that's pretty good.. Suppose there will be some times where you shuffle your super OP minion into their deck and they draw/play it the very next turn.. but it's still worth it...

Oh, peanut joined Longzhou. Reunited with gorilla and pray from the ROX lineup. However, im not convinced it will work. Kuro was such an important piece because of how flexible and low resource he was. Everything revolved around what peanut wanted to do early game. Not sure Bdd can do that. Khan...

Yea, you level up pretty quickly. I wanna say ive been leveling up every 8-10 games. At first, at level 30, each level is about 2500 xp, and you get like 500 from first win, and 100-200 per game, i think? So, if you play 4 a day, youll get 1400xp each day with the quest and normal xp. If you...
