    Blood Bowl

    Making a league now. I'll created the Rerolled Open League...a place for us all to gather. If we have enough players, we'll create a tournament league.

    Blood Bowl

    Yes, they just can't play the new teams. There are specific circumstances where they can't (direct IP), but I believe that using the in game client, they can. Dark Elf edition, is no longer supported, however. You need Legendary or Chaos.

    Blood Bowl

    I'll look into setting up a league, if nothing else kind of a challenge league where we can play against each other. I haven't really looked into adminning tournaments/leagues, mostly because I don't have enough friends who can tolerate playing this game to be worthwhile

    I was thinking of doing the same, I'd love to see if we could put together an 8 or 16 man league here. Sure be a lot more enjoyable than playing with randoms in matchmaking Well, you gotta understand that the majority of the vamp team is AV 7. That's as squishy as it comes. Thralls are the...

    Blood Bowl

    Vampires are a tier 3 race (as in, worst). They're very difficult to play correctly because thrall positioning is extremely important. You also can't field all of your vamps at any given time, or you run into trouble with too many bloodlust rolls hosing your game plan. Lizardmen are one of...

    Have you only played the first 2 episodes? Because I don't wanna ruin the game for everyone who's excited to play it, but we were all very excited about the first couple episodes, and then some glaring flaws started to show up in the later episodes that left us all feeling basically the same...

    I thought that was Gilmour from the title screen, and yeah, don't need to listen to that to know what it is. There's a distinction to be made there...Gilmour and guys like Slash are widely regarded to be great guitarists because of their "feeling" and emotion they put into their playing. But...

    I spent a long time educating my wife on the merits of most metal. Honestly, metal has some of the best musicians on the planet playing it these days. Mustaine, whatever you think about the man, is probably the best rhythm guitarist alive today, because he's taken the kind of shit that would...

    Buying a car?

    Yeah, I've been told even living here (MN) that 4x4 is not necessary for winter travel, it's not worth paying the for the 30k truck to drive in it. Except I work before the plows go out, and I end up having to go thru a lot of side streets and other areas with 6+ inches of snow. I don't care...

    The guy across the street told my wife at the mailbox one day that we need to keep our garage door closed. And it wasn't for some reason like security...it was because the lack of clutter and white walls was making everyone else look bad. Well, don't be packrats. Not my problem! I've got a...

    Buying a car?

    MN. And heated garages are pretty common here. Mine in my house has a heater in it, but the masonry for the fireplace is also between the house and the garage, so in the winter when the FP is used a lot, it's never below freezing out there. I only turn it on when I need to work out there.

    Car Accident? Ask an Adjuster

    I guess I'm confused. $500, or drive around in a dented up piece of shit with a mirror hanging off the side, and you chose driving around in a dented up piece of shit with a mirror hanging off the side? Isn't that what you carry comprehensive for?

    Hrm, yeah, if you don't want strat body, LP body, explorer, warlock or V's, that pretty much leaves you with telecasters, 335's, gibson SG kinda stuff, and customs. At least you've got your choices narrowed down pretty good.

    I've got a Dean AOD II which is explorer body, and that's pretty damned good for metal. Big body, lots of tone. I don't think you need to eliminate things like a strat body for metal. Look above at mine. All you really need is a good humbucker in the bridge and you'll get that meaty feel...

    Dexter

    Doakes is almost universally considered to be the best part of S1 and S2. I dunno how you can even make the claim that he should be more gone. With the exception of Season 4, which was entirely carried by John Lithgow, the entire franchise has gone to complete shit since Doakes' departure.

    Blood Bowl

    That'll happen man, all part of the game. The goal is to minimize it as much as possible, but not much you can do when your opponent keeps rolling blitzes after he kicks off, or you get a nifty rock throw on turn 1. My very first player to ever hit level 7 was a Claw/MB/PO/Tackle Beastman...

    Best Covers

    So many good memories of this song, unfortunately before HQ cameras and shit became readily available. Was always fun to go to a concert and see which covers they were gonna break into during the set. They did a lot of great Sabbath and Beatles shit, and brought them up a level.

    There's potentially up to 3 ways to play single player, depending on which edition you have. Competition, Campaign and World Cup (Chaos Edition only). There's also Story mode, but honestly, it sucks. Competition is a one time deal..you set up how many teams you want in the cup, how many...

    It is, and unfortunately, the in game tutorial is fucking terrible, so feel free to browse the BB site or ask here. There's way more traffic here than there, so I'll probably respond faster here, although you'll get a lot more different opinions from excellent coaches over there.

    Blood Bowl

    That's true, but like I said, block + tackle gets you into bad habits because it's so safe. For example, the basic strategy with dwarves is just to get mass guard, and then clump together to win the bash war, by putting every player in base contact with another player...forcing them to dodge...

    Blood Bowl

    High Elves are okay for a beginner. You need to learn where to pick your fights though, because with pretty average armor, you're not gonna win a lot of fights. It's real easy to get behind on numbers quick if you take a few unlucky rolls. Dark Elf are kind of the professional grade elves...

    Play Classic Turn Based mode, it's what 99% of the online community plays. Blitz and Real Time mode are poorly balanced trash. I made videos to help with the learning curve, because literally for like a week while playing the game I'd go "Oh, I wish I had known that" and restart my team...

    I'd probably advise this as well. Chaos Edition contains 3 teams, one of which is non canon, and completely made up (so not in table top version), and Underworld are fun, but kind of underpowered. The only real useful one is Chaos Dwarves, but they're basically wrecking balls. So up to you if...

    Blood bowl is pretty much the ultimate strategy game. If you go in expecting Madden, you're not gonna like it. It's like a mix between American football and Warhammer.

    Yeah, I looked into those last year, but for $115, fuck that shit. 13 minutes at 210w? You could get some good run time out of a 13w fluorescent on that, enough to make power outages a lot more tolerable. But it's just not worth it to have several of them around at the prices they're at.
