HT, you kind of disagreed with me while agreeing with me. I specifically said sure, play 1 and 2 of if you are tutoring or thinning out somehow but the odds of having Abrupt Decay from a one and 2 of deck just when you need it are pretty low. If it is just a useful filler because you only have 2...

Disclaimer. I don't play Standard. However, generally speaking (imo), if you don't have tutoring of some form then it is never a good idea to go with less than 4 of something you want as a response to a game changer on the other side. Thus, either run 4 of Abrupt Decay/Thoughtseize or go all...

You cannot get around the fetches and you want all 8. It's not just for the mana fixing as you will end up pulling mountains with them, its for thinning out the deck and feeding DRS/Grim Lavamancer if you use them. You want to be consistently topdecking more heat. I have won games with one land...

So to the guy that was asking about Modern Burn a bit back. Been busy and didn't manage to reply. Burn is never more than 12 creatures. I run 10. 4 GG/VD and 2 DRS. 4 Goblin Guide 4 DRS/Grim Lavamancer (optional) 4 Vexing Devil (optional) The burn package 4 Lightning Bolt (ofc) 4...

That was ... pushing the envelope. Tiggy going radge like that was just not something I expect to see on TV. Hope they can keep this edge of the seat stuff up.

Be careful. The last 'resurrection' of Demonoid was a honeypot.

For my own sanity I have to believe he is trolling for the lulz. Otherwise he is basically a sociopath.

I do but you still need a pretty expensive mana base as you are splashing white or black (or even both) for the best effect. My burn deck runs with like 5 mountains ...

Kuriin said the same thing and I am genuinely confused at anyone who expects even acceptable quality from internal phone or tablet speakers. Basic physics says they are always going to suck. This is what earbuds are for surely?

Problem with the Modern dailies (I only play Modern because well, fuck Standard) is that you need to stay on top of the meta. It does change. You don't necessarily need to spend a fortune on Goyfs, Bobs etc but you DO need to have the mana base. No getting round that. Still, Modern probably has...

I know some of you like some prog so I am linking my current 'Tell everyone about this awesome band' mania. Check this out .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIxc_RPeepc Apologies if I can't get a Youtube embed right. 3 albums to date (new one just came out). Personally I think the...

It was the perfect Keep It Simple Stupid movie. Quick world description and then let the actions of the characters in the situation explain the characters. Telling you the story using the medium rather than the crutch of exposition. I have shown this film to women who hate action movies (and...

There are plenty of daily missions at each level range that give a huge chunk of xp. You do not have to grind. Up until about 120 you are talking nearly a level per mission. You can do 3 in a day from like level 20. Drops give high xp missions too. Quests to get weapons and other gear...

Johnny49, the gift that keeps on giving. A bit like Kristen's clap. I know you are a troll job but if you aren't this is one time I would support people getting your RL info and giving your wife a heads up.

Rewatched it again last night and the plot holes do stand out more. In particular Scotty just tootling up to a top secret shipyard and nobody even challenges him. It still clips along decently but they need to get better writers next time around.

Galaxy Nexus is not Google btw its Samsung. I have no issues with the volume on the Google Nexus 4 for calls or music (via headphones).

I like the Google Nexus 4. Stock Android with no annoying crapware. Snappy and responsive phone that does everything I want a phone to do and it's not as large as the S4/HTC One. With a SIM only deal you will probably end up saving money as well as the convenience of no contract.

So, my v1 Asus Transformer is starting to show its age. All I really use a tablet for is reading comics, seriously. Need feedback on whether to go with a Nexus 7 or spend more for the 10. Note, I am only interested in the comic reading experience and general browsing, my TV is for video. Is the...

Plowed through this in a week after I saw it linked here. Highly recommend. Highly.

It is a bit late in the day to pull unreliable narrator with absolutely no foreshadowing of it. In fact doesn't he explicitly tell the storyteller he will give him a true accounting?

The reason is Rothfuss's need to overdramatise at times. To be fair, most of the fantasy genre does this. Authors need to get the message that there is no cast-iron rule that your antagonist has to date from the pre-Cambrian epoch while your protagonist is barely out of diapers.

You know you aren't going to stay friends and this is going to end very badly unless you cut it off now. Seriously. EDIT : I should probably expand. Let's look at possibilities here and I am placing them in order of likelihood. 1) Her marriage is going through a rough patch and she is...

Kill the adds. When he goes red, run to red statue for shield. When he goes green go to the other one. Its really easy once you realise you just have to keep swapping between the statues. He barely does any damage apart from his big specials.

Stop overthinking If you are feeling it then, sure, go for the l bomb. If not then don't. However, it sounds like she is looking for a little positive reinforcement of some kind. Maybe, instead of "dancing around it" say something like "I am not there yet but it looks like that's where we are...

If I don't get my weekly Sloan Sabbath fix I gets cranky. REALLY cranky.

If your Dad is in no rush to sell then let her use that until she gets her own? Tell her she is paying the insurance tho

Fuck stealth in CRPG's. Seriously, fuck it in its eyes. Anyone who has played The Castle mission in TSW knows exactly what I mean. For stealth to work the game has to be built around allowing it as a solution. In CRPG's, it is always tacked on, so it's either ridiculously op or frustrating...

Shit, its just a bigger kimono dude But seriously, you already had that debate in this thread. That area is fraught with landmines. She could be relieved and grateful, she could be insulted you didn't think she could handle it on her own and she could have been playing the long game for the con...

I suspect she is one of the Chandrian and that's going to be the big twist. At which point I will roll my eyes so hard I will probably need surgery to correct it.

Its already clear that the one who was fired is Jerry Dantana.

He could kill Denna off on page 1 of Book 3 and I doubt anyone male (and a fair number of women) would care. Awful, awful character and motivation. The twilight crowd would break the internet however

Blade (or Hammer)/ Chaos works fine. Another option is an AR plus anything else leech build. Fist is a good secondary if you want to be pure melee using One/Two and Surgical Steel depending on whether you need dps or healing. Anything can be made to work for questing but some builds will feel...

Yeah, there are definitely things that needed attention more than making shotguns effectively useless. Generally speaking gun balance is all to fuck now. Pistols and SMG still have no point and the 're-balance' didn't address that.

I really should make another serious attempt at getting into CKII

ComicBT down for everyone else?

In two minds about this. I have enjoyed this being largely realistic GA (not too many trick arrows for example, which kind of got ridiculous in the comics in the 70's and was specifically address by the Mike Grell reboot in 84) but I suppose they couldn't keep Black Canary out and once she was...

Yeah, that was the dip. I thought it got much better after that especially with how Mellie was being written. It is a conspiracy theory show, mind, so that kind of stuff is going to be hard to avoid Anyways, ymmv etc.

Necro !!! Just watched S1 and S2 and I totally disagree with Gwen here. It dipped a little in the middle of S2 but it ended strong. For a Shonda Rimes show it has really avoided soap cliche very well and has had some really sharp writing. I suspect they weren't expecting to do a full season run...

Given the price of e-ink readers these days there really isn't any reason not to have both. Hell, I read on a Kindle (I also still have a 6 year old PRS-505 that works), my phone and my tablet (comics mostly) depending on circumstance.

Sigh. The Rothfuss/Lynch/Martin curse strikes again
