    They appear to have fixed it here pretty fast. That might of course change this evening when people get home from work. I like the look of it but agree at the previous comment where the shows lack a preview slide when looking ahead.

    They must be doing something. It finally came up on my TV. Hopefully by this evening they will have the traffic volume sorted out. I am a bit surprised that nothing was sent through email about the service being ready. I guess it does not matter but I get stuff from Netflix all the time. I...

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    Yeah but it will just piss off the people trying the free trial. They should have started the service for paid customers only and then introduced the free trial a few weeks later once they had stabilized and established the needed connections for the incoming swarm. The free trial option should...

    They are already having problems. "We are prepared" indeed. My T.V. states that the connection is too low and my computers only see the circle of death. With a free trial, they should have been ready for 100 million people easy. Looks like it will be a luck thing to get in at the right moment.

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    It will not happen. The votes want the best teams going into the top 4. Now there can be arguments for an undefeated team having a shot over a 1 loss. That will never get ironed out until they take it to a top 8 at least. If the SEC East had a 6-3 team beat the number 1 SEC West who was...

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    I think conference championships should no longer exist. With the playoff system, conference championships are really no longer needed. That would solve the problem and allow for an 8 game playoff system since you would remove the conference games. This way you have the best teams going to the...

    Nothing says good game faster than the first turn Mythic blue that summons 3 0/1's.....cough...3/3s on your side.

    MTG thread

    Oh, I did not mean to imply that what happened with Oko was an accident. They knew what they were doing when they released him. I was more referencing the idea that occasionally they are going to design a broke card as a way to compensate for the limitation of design. They want a chaser card in...

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    I think the current top 5 pretty much stay that way until the divisional matches. Ohio has the greatest chance for an upset as they take on both Penn State and Michigan. UGA has to get through Auburn as does Alabama. Clemson should beat South Carolina but hey..SC did beat UGA. The interesting...

    Oko is getting banned. There is no doubt that Oko is getting banned from Standard. Not since Jace has there been such a meta defining Planeswalker. It was bound to happen. There really is only so many cards that can be created and so the occasional broke one gets released. I just wonder if they...

    The King (2019)

    We mildly discussed this in the Netflix thread. I will just echo what I said. It was worth watching and the battle scene was pretty good. I also enjoy period pieces as long as they do not drag on to much.

    Wow, The caffeine in strong in this one. You have a bad day at work? Thank you for the laugh. That was awesome.

    I also enjoyed The King. The fight scene was well done.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    I plan to buy it as soon as I can preorder it. Apparently it is a Best Buys only affair and so far it has not lit up for preorder.

    I guess that person wanted to see your deck. I would have ceded that game long before they lost.

    The Mandalorian

    As much as I despise Disney for what they have allowed the movie franchise to become, this would go a long way in forgetting that mistake if it ends up being as good as the previews look. I want to believe that this show could really be the "Bar Scene" of Star Wars that I enjoyed as a child. The...

    MTG: Arena

    They will have to ban Oko from Brawl. Yes decks can be made that beat his ass but his +1 ability has such a devastating effect on this format. I play him for daily wins because half of the match-ups instant concede to him. Eventually they will Ban him entirely. How his +1 was not a -1 is mind...

    Dracula

    Title says it all. This actually looks pretty good. I will definitely watch it as I always enjoy a good vampire series or movie. It is only 3 episodes but each episode is 90 minutes long. The effects and production look to be movie quality, which might explain the 3 episodes. Hopefully that...

    Regretfully Georgia does not deserve to be number 8 in the nation. Florida will show them that this weekend...sadly.

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    While I am sure that Alabama can hold its own just fine, LSU is going to give them all they can handle. It would not surprise me if LSU beat Alabama. I think in the right situation, Auburn could beat Alabama. Ohio is taking wonderful advantage of the University of Georgia's mistake of letting...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Yes, and it will end with Rey stating "Let me not talk of how Luke Skywalker died. Let me instead talk of how he lived."

    The Mandalorian

    I like the cast for this show. It has a lot of potential for being the greatest thing to come from Star Wars since the original three movies. The western feel, mixed with technology, has been attempted in a fairly popular show before. Firefly did not have aliens or the force as part of its...

    I have been wanting to try a mill deck but I am average at best for deck building. If you get a chance, I would be curious to see what your build is.

    What We Do in the Shadows

    Regretfully watching the series before the movie kind of takes away a lot of the charm in the movie. It is better to watch the movie and then the series but the movie still has a few parts that are humorous.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    This part of the preview made me do a double take. We are now initiating mounted combat against a star destroyer?? I suppose you have to use whatever is available but this wreaks of toy promotion rather than just common sense in script writing. That one scene easily sold me on not going to see...

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    Its the largest reason I finally just got tired of Hearthstone. I do not mind a little bit of random. Its one of the things that can translate well from table top to computer. I do not like a random like "Spend 6 cast a random legendary creature". Those kind of randoms are just weak and...

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    That explains that then. My first impressions of the game are outstanding. I was impressed with the layout and the ease of play. They already had a nice tutorial that even players not familiar with these kinds of games could easily understand. There is a mix of a few games that have all come...

    I also no longer have access. I assume the access was a limited amount of time or the server is down? Is everyone else also having this issue?

    I am enjoying this game. As long as this game does not create 100 different kinds of counterspells(Hate that mechanic), I am good.

    I also registered as I am kind of over Magic Arena. The game looks nice. I am glad to read that others on this board are enjoying it.

    Gods Unchained

    So I gave it a try. The game itself is HearthStone with a few worthy changes. I enjoyed what they are attempting to do with the system. Initially like Hearthstone, you can get 1gem/mana per turn that builds up as you go along. The difference is that once you get too turn 5 the incremental...

    What We Do in the Shadows

    I finally got around to watching this on Hulu. I loved it. As many have already stated, there was a treasure trove of masterpiece comedy in the season. The show is so wonderfully different from everything else. Looking forward to the second season when it arrives...

    Gods Unchained

    So that would be a no then. I am surprised a little bit that nobody has even tried this game. It looks well enough made. I have no doubt that it has a strong Pay-2-Win component, but with a trade system, a lot of that gets knocked down. I guess maybe I can be the guinea pig and see how it is.

    Gods Unchained

    Given the publicity this game got with the whole Hearthstone debacle. I was wondering if anybody had tried the game itself. It appears to pretty much be a Hearthstone clone with the ability to trade. I watched a few videos on the game play and it looks fairly well made. As always, balance is a...
