Jared Boettcher is also extremely likely to receive the banhammer. I am super disappointed because it was kind of nice to see someone be that "good" at Magic and put of those kind of results, but statistically it was highly unlikely simply due to variance.

I think the card is very underrated right now, but in the example you gave, it's just win more. Generally, when you untap with an active Elspeth you're going to win.

This game is going to be awesome and I hope it inspires more developers to come back to this genre. It's going to be a pretty lengthy game too. I read somewhere that Icewind Dale was about 80 separate maps and that Baldur's gate was around 200. This game is at 150ish. I literally just...

I'm probably in the minority here, but I really like DDO and it's perfect for a small group of friends.

Thanks Szila, I appreciate it. Before I was hurt, I couldn't fully sympathize with people with back injuries. I always thought they might be exaggerating it a little. Now, I know different. Rotanee, I appreciate your input. Case value - It is what it is. FELA case awards are...

This is me about 20 months ago (I was 35). I was about 205-210lbs in that picture (I'm 6 foot). I was bulking when that picture was taken and over the next 4 months I put on another 17 or 18 lbs. I had just started cutting the excess fat when I got hurt.

As I said before, it had nothing to do with my injuries, the accident, or my treatment. I'm not going to air my dirty laundry on a public forum to strangers. We've all got skeletons and when the fine tooth comb of the defense threw this one out on the floor in front of me, I was like "I have...

Yep, I know I've had a shadow at least once, but I couldn't give two shits because I'm not faking anything. The liability aspect isn't really an issue because The Safety Appliance Act and the Locomotive (Boiler) Inspect Act have them by the balls. I wasn't at fault in any way and they know...

You're a jaded one aren't you, Kirun? Not to mention I don't think you actually understand the specifics of the case. Back/joint pain? I wish that's all it was. We all have pain as we age, but I have been in amazing physical condition my entire life. In the old real life picture thread I...

There hasn't been anything said here that any injury attorney would charge for. I could easily get a free hour or more of face time explaining my case to a dozen attorneys here where I live. Like I said, I'm not looking for real advice. It's really just banter.

That's very true, but railroad defense attorneys are very savvy at knowing what level of trial experience your own attorney has and their negotiations reflect that. Since my attorney refuses to answer questions concerning his experience I can only assume he hasn't tried many cases or if he...

Araysar is correct, it's either or. Look, I'm not going to cry about how my injuries have affected my life, but I'm young and my injuries were/are serious. I am not looking for the moon, but I do want what I feel is reasonable compensation for worsening my life, permanently. I no longer...

A lot of suits come from people hurt at crossings. And I am not sure what railroads you are referring to (maybe passenger?), but Class I freight companies are extremely healthy and making more money than they ever have with even more growth forecasted.

FELA damages are nothing like workman's comp. A very large portion of permanent disability cases (although I am not completely disabled, just unable to perform the scope of my previous duties) is lost wages. Under FELA you're entitled to everything you would have made during your career + past...

I don't know. CSX.

There was an oil leak on the locomotive (very close to strict liability) that I wasn't aware of. When I went to dismount, I fell roughly 7 feet. The company security cameras caught the fall on tape. I didn't know it until I saw the tape, but the fall knocked me out for over a minute. Like...

I'm not looking for legal advice (although any actual real advice will be considered). I just need to bitch to someone besides my wife. I'm a railroad conductor who was seriously hurt on the job last year. I ruptured multiple discs in my lower back and neck. I am having a spinal fusion to...

I played this game with a buddy a few months before its release. We made it to a major boss battle where there were like 4 bosses in the same room (not the shrine area where the bosses are spawned). I remember there being a big fire like elemental and an acid like elemental. We killed them...

I don't understand the hate for Max Payne 3. Over the last few years there have been very few games I liked enough to finish. MP3 was one of them. It may have something to do with Man on Fire being my favorite movie of all time.

Full art basics is my guess.

Jund is one of the decks I play in Modern and despite not having DRS it's still a great deck. You're just not going to get any free wins like you could before. Turn 2 Liliana was great, but the real loss of DRS is not being able to cast 2 spells a turn in the early game. Affinity is a...

Seriously? Let's see pictures of the basement dwelling snorlak troll beast bitches you fuck.

I've been silently grinding away. When the SCG Players Championship points update on Thursday I should be in 40 something place. It seems like a long way from getting there, but if I have a decent finish at the Invitational (or one of the Opens) at the end of the month it'll at least put me in...

Headed to Nashville for the Open Series this weekend.

A buddy of mine started playing this and thinks it's the bees knees. Is it worth playing?

I never understood the appeal of EDH. I've played it a few times, but I absolutely hate it.

Ya, it is a safe buy. I'm hunting a playset of Karakas (last cards I need for DnT) before they are a million dollars.

I redeemed myself a little bit today (after punting in the T8 of the Super IQ last week) and won an IQ here in town. This win puts me in the top 100 of the Player Championship points race (once the points update).

Exactly what I do. I pre-ordered a playset of U and C from my local shop for $25.

Yep (once). My first year in the Navy. I was stationed in Coronado, CA. We spent a lot of time in TJ and hookers were everywhere. It wasn't a memorable experience, thankfully it was cheap. Biggest lie you've told on a resume/application?

5th. Punted hard that cost me the match. Situation - it's my turn, opponent has two pack rats in play and 1 untapped land (Mutavault). I have two Pharika's cures in hand a 4 black mana available. I cast one cure targeting a rat (hoping he may forget the Mutavault pump. Multiple packrats...

I'm purely a competitive player (so whatever the tournament calls for). I can't remember the last time I played a game of Magic that wasn't in a tournament or play testing for one.

Picked up a set of Stoneforge Mystics a few days ago for $40. What a steal. The card has more than doubled in the last 10 days and I don't think it has topped out.

178. 338 is a ridiculous number.

Went to a Standard PTQ today in Atlanta. I was one win short of top 8'ing =(.

I have no idea wtf that even means. ***Edit*** Google rewarded me with an answer. Sorry Gravy, I'm 10000% hetero with -10000% homo curiosity. Thanks for the compliments though.

Well, thank you both. Over at BB.com the "no homo" is used all the time. I always thought it was lame as fuck. Guess it does have a use. =P

I'm 6' 215. I have 50" shoulders and a 32" waist. Finding shirts that fit my shoulders/chest without looking like a tent from my nipples down is not easy. That said, My shirt does look a little small doesn't it? It was probably the angle and the way I was sitting. If not, fuck it. I'll...

Wife caught me not paying attention while watching a pair of windsurfers in St. Maartin.

And to answer the rest of your question Big W. The only deck that I can think of that is similar to one you'd like to play is something like the following. Personally, I want to try it, but I am not convinced it's tier 1, yet. Creatures (4) 4 Chandra's Phoenix Planeswalkers (2) 2...
