    The Walking Dead

    I missed the first airing entirely. I was interpreting your disinterest with the episode centering on Rick having to pleasure Lucille with his mouth for 50 minutes. Which I'm on board for.

    Oh man, now I'm excited to catch The Negan Show rerun later in the evening if Chuk is out.

    South Park

    I thought the first three episodes were pretty great, then the next couple episodes were alright, and then these last two were below average teetering on bad. I don't really know what we are doing or where we are going and that's a bit of a problem eight episodes in.

    The Walking Dead

    I haven't watched in a couple seasons so I don't even see Rick as the main character or even a star.

    Does anyone know the current condition of Mage and Necro pets? Are they as weak as they were in Kunark after the nerfs or have they gotten back some of their power as new expansions were unlocked? I tried playing a Necro on Phinny and it was just rough how frail the poor little guy was.

    If they are trying to get me to not be on board Team Negan they aren't doing a very good job.

    Was like 1/3rd of a good episode and nowhere near as strong as the first couple in this season.

    I won my first piece of power, an Alpha Time Twister, at a Mirage/Visions/Weatherlight sealed event. I traded it back to the store two weeks later for credit.

    My youth nothing, I used it as a reference last year when I was playing the Microprose Duels of the Planeswalkers computer game. I tried to keep my decks sorta era legal. Rack/Balance with unrestricted Balance was a pretty good deck.

    I found out the title at least, it's Totally Unauthorized Magic the Gathering by Bradley Games, cover is purple/black. No idea where I stuffed the damn thing.

    I used to have a book about Vintage from back when the oldest set released was Homelands. It had contributions from I think eight different players each going through their signature deck with some history of the game. There was Brian Weissman with The Deck, I think Henry Stern with Winds of...

    It was a real rule back in 1996, I kid you not. City in a Bottle? That's why you play cards from Chronicles and not Arabian Nights!

    If you're playing an old school format you should have to use old school rules! Untapping a Basalt Monolith with Basalt Monolith mana is FORBIDDEN.

    Do this. Get out the terms of your mortgage and run through a mortgage calculator how much money you're going to be saving on interest if you paid off the loan today. If you've got more than one decade left as you said, depending on the size of the loan, this could be six figure territory over...

    I want to go back and separate wealthy people from the financial elite. I said financial elite, Heylel said wealthy people, and I quoted him. I've been at home of many a person with more money than I'll ever dream of that made terrible fucking decisions and is now inviting a scrounger like me to...

    If you had twenty years left on your mortgage would you sell the bulk of your collection to pay that off? That is the situation that Ratina said he was in. Multiple decades is what he said. I think you gotta pay it off in that situation.

    If I recall correctly that came about after there were multiple targeted buyouts of certain cards. The goal of that behavior was to drive up prices and then sell at a profit. I have no objections with buying something you feel is undervalued and then selling it and making money in the process...

    The value of your assets are tied directly to the actions of the Hasbro Corporation and as such deserve an extra level of skepticism. People in this country used to throw parties when they paid off their homes. People prided themselves on not owing anyone. There's absolutely nothing about...

    I think if you can pay off a 15+ year mortgage with proceeds from the time you've spent playing a children's card game you pay off the mortgage.

    I've sold mountains of DnD stuff over the years on eBay and it's always gone fine. I've had bad experiences with other kinds of items but I'd have no worries at all about unloading DnD stuff there. It's all easy to ship and the books can go media mail.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is what it looks like It'll occasionally jump to a reasonable download rate but it spends most of the time at zero. This is the result of my starting it up and going to bed. I've followed some of the suggestions on Blizzard's website like deleting the battle.net data and I've tried...

    I went to log on after a few weeks away and I'm having the damned time downloading the patch. Is spotty connectivity a thing or is something fucked up on my end?

    I had given up on the show when the governor raided the prison, whatever season that was, and only tuned in to this episode because I was curious. I thought it was pretty good. Was the last season of a similar quality?

    I just tuned in today because last season ended with Negan's introduction and I wanted to see what they went with. I'm not sorry that I stopped watching the show. This is just abusive levels of milking.

    I like the stories and dialogue just fine but in future playthroughs I better be able to skip all of that shit and skip it quickly.

    Poll Do you think Trump will actually win the presidency in November?

    Lackluster? He got dunked on and had to work hard to dig himself out of that hole PLUS RMoney didn't keep the full court press going in the later debates.
