It's going to be hard for this to actually "bomb." I think that it's a much stronger license than something like Total Recall or Robocop and the trailer makes it look like it would be a movie that's good for kids while still having some parental appeal. It's not going to be as successful as...

I don't get it. The trailer opens with "30 Years Ago Four Scientists Saved New York, This Summer a New Team Will Answer the Call" and it's a reboot? That's confusing.

That's a damned lazy direction to go but hey, this has looked pretty lazy to begin with.

If anyone is digging holes I could use one to crawl into and die please.

When I was a kid I always liked Wilson and never saw him as a token anything. Hearing the token black stuff with him and how the character changed just makes me sad.

It looks better than I was expecting but it also looks a little too much like one of the live-action Scooby Do movies. Could be fine? Probably won't be memorable.

Buffed Trak after the last set of pet changes dead on day 1 is impressive.

Are you implying that it is shit writing to have a character only ever mentioned in another brick of a book step through a literal magic door in the final pages of the series, say almost nothing, do almost nothing, and then beat the Big Bad of not only the series but the entire meta-fiction...

When the new set comes out an unknown number of cards in the base set are going to be changed. Either Force of Nature and/or Savage Roar are on everyone's short list of cards that are likely to be changed along with cards like Ice Block, Molten Giant, Alex, and so on. Stuff they don't really...

Yeah, you go on a journey. I'm hoping 10 Cloverfield Lane is at least this good.

I didn't want to make a new thread for this but I just got done watching Hidden. It's a story about a family in a fallout shelter and there's monsters, twists and turns, etc and it's just really really good. If you were interested in what Cloverfield here was trying to sell give this a try...

Yeah, you want to always be grouping.

The reason that people were factory farming low level quest items is because the early early levels really were dog shit. It smooths out some.

On the flip side the grind to 60 becomes bothersome is if you get stuck having to exp with average players in average locations. Rather than tweak global exp rates I wish Daybreak would just boost some of the shittier areas a little bit so it didn't feel like a waste of time to be in non-optimal...

It's been a while since I've been handling crime stats but there was definitely a super gap in incarceration rates in the mid 2000s. If that's changing then congratulations on their new found equality but I'm skeptical.

White women have the lowest incarceration rate of any group in the country. They are goddamn bullet proof.

Did Modern Masters get people interested in Modern and drive up some prices? This is a Vintage/Legacy oriented reprint set so maybe they are thinking that if people open up cards for those formats they'll start working on putting a deck together and those decks need duals. All of the dual lands...

Seismic Swans was alright for the three months it existed.

There very well could be rarities above mythic in this set. The online only Vintage Masters had Moxes and shit at above Mythic and the last couple Standard sets have had expeditions.

C'mon Kamigawa dragon cycle reprinted again at Mythic! Still need that playset of Keigas.

Chronicles 2, 3, and 4 have never been for me given their inflated MSRPs but they are damned popular products and overall it's a very good move on the part of Wizards. It's just a shame that optimal mana bases in Legacy are so prohibitively expensive. The amount of cool B and C tier decks that...

I don't like that prowess rule either for very much the same reason. It's a trigger that you do not need to announce or otherwise draw attention to its existence until it is relevant. Prowess is also a keyword that is going to be showing up in every set making it additionally cumbersome.

It's not just Tarmogoyf. If at any point in the game, with any creature in the game, you ask your opponent "hey, what's the body on that dude" he can look at you and shrug his shoulders. I don't think that does anything positive for the game.

Holy fuck you double downed.

Dude, go fuck yourself. Holy shit.

I just don't think the game is made any better when a question of "hey, what's that dude's current power and toughness" can be met with shrugged shoulders. I'm a casual limited player so it's never, ever going to matter for exactly the reason that Heylel gave. It's just something that I disagree...

It was just that I remember that debate going on at one point regarding what information you had to volunteer and I was on the side that wanted physical to effectively be the same as MTGO. I never, ever liked the division between derived information and free information.

Well no fucking shit. You know that guy got told some bullshit and thought he was doing what he was supposed to do.

The power and toughness of a creature (e.g. Goyf) is derived information. At Competitive REL an opponent is not obligated to provide derived information when asked.

"Hey, what's the power/toughness of your 'goyf?" "THIS ISN'T MTGO I DON'T HAVTA TELL YOU" Hate that ruling. Hate everything about it.

As this is now the EQ General thread could someone tell me who the big guild on Ragefire is and if there are more than one?

Nope, serious. Whenever I'm at Chipotle there's a line and I don't want to be the guy asking questions everyone else thinks are retarded and holding things up. Are the steak and the slow cooked beef seasoned differently?

Can you explain what a Barbacoa and a Carnita is?

The future future league doesn't really do all that much testing for eternal formats and that ain't anything new. What will be interesting is seeing how effective Eldrazi strategies are now that everyone has gotten a good look at them. You're going to have a ton of people experimenting with...

If you couldn't figure out Vile Aggregate, Eldrazi Skyspawner, Ruination Guide, Gemstone Caverns for Modern I don't know what to tell you. The deck builds itself.

I don't mind that Magic got rid of its core set because that game's core set had mostly become just another set. With Hearthstone I think it would be well served by having a core set that changed maybe once a year, effectively "reprinting" a few cards from sets that had rotated out while having...

Sixteen food!?! Do you think I'm made of money? They get four.

Technically they convicted her of lying to investigators.

At launch people quested as much as possible to advance quickly doing repeatable quests. What changed is that killed exp on Phinny was terrible enough that optimizing quest exp was incentivized. The early levels really are a slog and yeah, people will engage in other mundane tasks to skip those...

Having played some more I think it looks like it was just a streak of ugly RNG. I was running into madmen, double skeletons with cups, and vomiting pigs in almost every encounter and it was murder on my heros brains and I had yet to even see a Jester in the wagon. It's smoothed out some.
