No doubt occasionally you'll buy a stinker you'll take a wash on when you resell it on Ebay/BGG that's part of the hobby unless you're one of the moochers. But not that there's anything wrong with that, everyone ends up paying their way somehow in my experience. (Lots of the "moochers" here...

Meetup is amazing some places - apparently they sucked in Maryland from talking to people since we left - but they've been amazing for getting gamers together here in the Space Coast.

Ah, yea, same bug here - but clicking on it and then selecting PS4 has the buy prompt show.

That seems like a silly quibble - plenty of games do the "You got your ass kicked by something you can't handle" as an intro that you then deal with eventually once you get your shit together and it works out fine.

He's a Canadian too, possible it's a region restriction if he's been entering it correctly. (Although I've only heard of the Americas PSN restricting things for South America)

Elder Sign with Gates of Arkham really is a reinvention of the game - it really felt like a sprawling adventure now instead of the old version that felt abstract and arbitrary. Did win vs the new Hard old one but we did screw up one rule a number of times before I caught the error from not...

And on XCOM: TBG after the second play - we were on the cusp of winning, we actually finished the final task - but as far as I can tell with the timing we lost as soon as everything hit panic - everything was going to shit but the wife swung the Final Mission the same turn. Definitely the most...

Uhm - regular Elder Sign not too much, I think it's kinda too much Yahtzee style randomness with no real "feel" to the game - the new expansion (Gates of Arkham) is supposed to alleviate that and really get the feel right finally - but I unboxed it earlier before running XCOM twice with the wife...

Not sure I'd even suggest it at $9... I was excited for it, and has been my biggest disappointment in recent memory.

Quad-----threadbreeeeeaaaaaker. And yea, we've got plenty of "dabblers" and "moochers" in the group - but there's a handful of us that literally have multiple bookcases filled as well, heh. It's all good. (Also fits in my business that I'm planning for to be seen as a "provider" when it comes...

Weird, mixing you up with someone then... maybe Iannis... (he did a animal avatar for a bit, right?) if it was multiple burgers might just be a franchise alteration. I'm a salt fiend so I'll always be biased on such things, but the wife isn't and she gave me a confused look just now when I asked...

Boss Monster is a pretty amazing quick game - it feels like it would actually run best with 2 (less ties to worry about) - but only run it with more. Inexpensive too. Don't own it myself yet though - but the theme is great BTW - basically you're one of the Old NES monsters luring heroes into...

It's a tax thing I'd imagine for Arizona - I know for MTGO technically you could only play if you forfeited prizes or lied in Maryland before I moved - and it was all about the tax dollars there.

Steven at our group brought "Pandemic: The Cure" the other day which is surprisingly good for a dice game. I've not played the real version of Pandemic yet (can't justify buying something so many own, but no one ever wants to run it!) - but it was surprisingly strategic and amusing for "just a...

Eh, really into board games? I'm actually not even on the "fast buying" side of the pool when it comes to board games in the cliques down here - all these software engineers are buying $200+ a month and besides months like this where the wife's birthday dovetails extra board game budget at her...

EVERYWHERE does - man, the last two years before we left Maryland it seemed like anything knocked the power lines down - then down here we get ridiculously windy days that have to be in the same ballpark and only minor interruptions if anything, long live buried lines.

Second opinions are always a good thing, I appreciate it - still waiting for my mom to respond to my email with any advice (she was an RN in her working years) - would certainly make life easier not micromanaging it.

You out of town right now? I thought you were up in Maryland? And depends on the burger - the Garlic ones absolutely are, otherwise sounds like a fluke, probably dude was salting fries nearby carelessly or something.

Yea, always been fond of bidets the few times I've used one - didn't realize they had contraptions to add to a regular toilet - I'd looked into the cost of running two in a bathroom before and the cost was a huge turnoff, but no additional plumbing? Good deal. Not that it'll fit the budget too...

Not really - old news to anyone that delves outside of this forum...

Eh, always got money I can take out if I need to - but with it being investment based I don't want to undermine it if I don't have to - fixed income lifestyle = sticking strongly to budgets. And besides rent would never matter - I pay rent on the 5th and most of my income comes in on the 3rd. =P

1-2 hrs three times a week since GvG came out and I'd quit from probably October previous to that. One more Legendary to go (and almost zero dust since I just reduced that from 2 to go last night) before I'm "done" GvG. [well, besides filling out some Epics - I like to have full sets besides...

Probably am, once the mechanic calls with the damage on the repair I'm getting done - unless that demolishes the monthly budget, if so I'll get it early March. I'll probably only use Belcher, but he's really damn good.

Yea, its funny - still haven't broken past 8 yet with my Priest deck that I'm running the most now - but actually bumped into a near mirror match last night even though I've never shared it [seriously only large differences were Naxx cards I've not bothered with yet]. Tried to friend the guy...

It's impossible to know how much time you really have - so dwelling on how much time you've lost is relatively pointless - with the time I allowed myself to be down before I changed my path was literally almost 20 years of my 38 years on this planet. And I kept letting stuff get worse and worse...

Getting full nights sleep is definitely a good place to start - if you don't already, with the "mind always racing" issues that used to lead to me having trouble sleeping I found white noise to help alot. [i.e. a white noise generator proper or any of the relaxation sound apps running on the...

Sure you do, even small things are bound to happen to make one day slightly better than the last. It's hard to focus on them when you're learning - but even something like "my breath is less horrible today" or something like that can be a small victory. Start celebrating the small victories...

Most are... even average woman has a few inches on me... (well, at least height wise before anyone is a smartass...)

So no ABC/Fox/NBC/CBS on SlingTV? Have to go HD rabbit ears for those?

Ah ok, good that is how I initially meant it - didn't realize you were transitioning Graham to RL. And didn't pay attention to "distant unexplored territories" lore enough to realize there still were Utah ones. Hell, didn't know Caesar was a FoA originally...

If things are as bleak as you're making them sound today, then I have one point of good news for you. If you can focus on the positive instead of dwelling on the negative (which is difficult when you're new to it) - you can really take a ton of weight off trying to make an uphill climb. I've...

Yea, hopefully the one 45 min away has cards on hand Wednesday when I'll be about 15 min away doing a board game night. Sounds like a good deal at 1 year like I initially thought it was at $30 - at 2 yrs its a nobrainer.

Depends how much additional content comes down the pipe and how much side content/etc.

My copy is getting here Tuesday on Xcom - needed something to hit $100 for free shipping, and decided on it. (Argent: the Consortium would've been my choice, but I let the wife choose between the two to make free shipping - Argent is definitely the next though) [In fact, noticing I literally...

No matter how bad you feel about yourself - and it's an easy trap to fall into - most people out there are truly good people that will appreciate and support you. (Although I will say, some regions are better than others - if by some lark you moved out here near Cape Canaveral that attitude...

Update - looked it up - does work online... now to see if the shipping makes sense with the 20% off... Edit: Free Shipping over $35 - so barring oddballs always would be Free Shipping assuming that's a regular thing... sonuvabitch, I've gotta make a long drive soon...

Does that work ordering online too? I know you have to buy the card in person - but the idea of driving 45 min to Best Buy weekly at times sounds shitty if it's not usable online.

What the hell... wow.

I don't go too nuts with fast food and such - although has been ramping up due to being more social IRL - but got my own wake up call a couple days ago, getting cholesterol warnings from my doc and weighing in just shy of 150 (keep in mind I'm 5'2" - that's the beginnings of being fat)...

Just quick muse on such a thing - much like Android generally tries to cut off how long of a string it's handling but when you're doing specific voice strings that are going to be longer it gives you some "breathing room" (literally...) once it's already given the initial part of the command...
