Higginbotham sounds familiar for sure. Sounds like an awesome double major. If I could do it all over I would go to the U of Montana and major in Forestry but growing up in Texas/OK I had no idea wtf a real forest even was. And ya I interviewed for a couple environmental consulting jobs in...

UNT, I worked in Dr. Jim Kennedy's lab. He's one of the top aquatic invert guys in TX and has a former PhD student doing a lot of work down at A&M with freshwater mussels. I have a feeling a lot of the people we know, know of each other. We have those same fish screw traps here in Salmon on...

Hey thanks man I appreciate that! I will definitely give you a shout if/when I end up back in TX. It sounds like the projects you were working on were more short term and amenable to volunteers than the projects I've been on. Most of em up here you are catching fish all day every day from May...

Eh, kinda. Most positions and jobs are temporary, i.e. - no benefits and can't work for more than five consecutive months, but I've never heard of any unpaid volunteers or people getting hired that aren't at least enrolled in a related program. They're not going to hire some local lumberjack...

True dat homie. It's been the best summer I've ever had and it's not even close.

Graduated 9 months ago and am just wrapping up my first field season as a freshwater field biologist. It's crazy fun and adventurous. This summer I was paid to backpack into alpine lakes to do surveys with gill nets/rod and reel, I electrofished rivers and streams and handled thousands of fish...

Threw together an aggro/murloc Paladin deck. Hella fun, but obvs inconsistent. Good way to get out of the low ranks though when you don't have much to lose and couple win streaks will move you up pretty quick. Surprisingly have only played one secret Paladin this morning.

Stalled out at Rank 8 thanks to Paladin AIDS, got golden Freezing Trap, Unleash the Hounds, and Siphon Soul. Midrange Hunter with 2x Flare it is.

Can't you just let someone be a little butthurt and vent without injecting logic into it?

Well it was fun for a couple days again now it's back to shitty. Time to catch up on my Steam backlog.

This fucking secret paladin shit makes me long for the days when Huntertaker was all over the place. Who the fuck wants to play against a never ending parade of Paladin douches? The devs must hate their own game.

Aviana is really pulling me out of some jams today. Playing against Dragon Priest and the fucker has four minions on board and mine's empty on turn 8. Turn 9 Aviana + Innervate + AoW + Kel Thuzad. Turn 10 Belcher and Ragnaros. Concede.

Chysamere's post 19 posts up. ^^

I love that the lead dev. brings up fucking Nat Pagle and Tinkmaster when talking about RNG and high level play. Because those two cards have seen SO much play the last couple expansions. Jesus.

I really try to avoid innervating into a four drop on turn two unless it's an emergency against a perfect aggro opening. Turn three innervate into a Belcher or Druid of the Claw if against fast decks, but if not then hopefully you can save it for Thaurissian or an AoW. The two jousters...

Antique Healbot to get me that extra turn against hunters, Evil Heckler to trade with Belchers and Loatheb. It's definitely not re-inventing the wheel, but seems pretty solid and got me from 13 to 9 this morning.

Way of the Road Bubs.

Just got my Grade 10 playing with my Ramp Druid, 5-2 so far this morning. Stands up well to the glut of paladins and totem shamans at that end of the ladder. Must fight the urge to craft Aviana, but it seems like a win more card.

I really feel like there's a good token Druid build lurking out there.

25 packs, one legendary - Acidmaw. Bleh. Few goldens and four or five epics though, not too bad. Will wait a couple weeks for things to shake out before I use up any dust though.

Does the 'Best rank achieved' thing start this month? I checked my quest tab and it hasn't been in there.

I've played a lot of ramp Druid the past few months in my quest to get a golden portrait and I rarely, if ever, end up top decking. Was watching Strifecro last night and I think he's right. Aviana should be able to pull off some pretty sweet turn 8/9/10 shenanigans for a huge tempo swing. Aviana...

So much this. Unfortunately it looks like it's going to be more of the same.Step on up and spin the wheel of RNG folks, where it lands nobody knows!

So...just new cards and no new tournie mode?

Last weeks was fun but this one fucking sucks. Whether you win or lose is 100% on the deck that the RNG gods give you. Slightly less worse than Nef vs. Rag, but horrible. Get my one win and I'm out.

Salmon. I don't think any of the old mining towns around here were for gold but it still gets me thinking.

The part of Idaho that I'm in this summer has these old mining ghost towns all over the place. Most sporting goods stores even have a small section devoted to mining tools/kits and I'm always tempted to buy a basic metal pan. It could also serve time as something to cook in for backcountry...

I would love the ability to play an 8 or 16 man sit-n-go tournie with a 100g entry fee where the top three finishers get the entry fee gold. That would be a shit ton more fun than Arena for me and a decent way to make cash/collect cards.

Oh shit, haha!

Ya what he said ^^

I've always just screwed around for a few days at a time and never really got that deep into it. Multiplayer with the new patch sounds pretty fun though.

WTF is going on with wait times and a new counter displaying how long I've been in queue and approx wait time?

Jesus, Amanda's light years ahead of those other nasty skanks but she probably doesn't need Capt. Save-a-ho to come to her rescue on a weekly basis like the others.

Ya I liked it a lot better than last week's boss battle. Still lame but at least I got an epic card from my pack for extra dust.

I've been playing all day and besides one or two grim patrons have run into nothing but non-standard decks. Blood knight paladins, Gang Up rogues, spell power shamans, etc. I'm getting my fucking ass kicked, but whatever, definitely not seeing what some of you guys are bitching about. Maybe it's...

Just encountered a novel play for the first time. Warlock drops Stallag/Feugen against my patron warrior on the board. I was close to having the combo for lethal and ignored them. Next turn he drops motherfucking Deathwing which spawns TWO Thaddiuses from them. FUCK....

I did the Old Faithful thing when I drove through it briefly a couple summers ago. I drove the Beartooth last August and there were still some massive snowdrifts off the road when you got close to the pass and it was very chilly even on a bright on a sunshiney day, that's some serious asshattery.

Sweet, thanks! Those all sound great. Ya after doing a little more research most of my Yellowstone adventures are going to have to wait until later in the summer, but will probably still spend a couple days in the park while I have my lady friend with me in early May, but nothing too hardcore.

It's on Netflix I believe. The doc itself is a little disjointed, but great footage and will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Man that sucks, in a rich white person on an expedition kind of way. I've been doing some reading on K2/Everest lately myself. Can you imagine the pants shitting that would happen if you were doing the Hillary Step and a motherfucking 7.9 decides to shake the mountain? Hell even doing the Khumbu...
