    I think you're pretty damned decent with Lizards, honestly. I don't think ogres will be an improvement for you. They are basically more extreme lizards, with less speed. The ogres are beefier than the saurii, and the snots are wimpier and slower than the skinks. The tradeoff being that you...

    Do you have health insurance?

    Why the hell would you hit the out of pocket max? It's a kid. We paid one co-pay for the first prenatal visit, and then that's it. There will be a hospital bill for the delivery (whatever your deductible is) and that should be the extent of the baby bills unless you're going on record now...

    It's a pretty good plan if you think about it. Bait Dana into offering you a million bucks for a fight, then tap out 30 seconds into it and walk away 7 figures richer.

    Yeah, she'd just be posting on the Suicide Girls forums "I've been seeing this Pig Benis guy, and he's pretty tame. I do have some pics of his junk though (which I will share when the relationship goes south)"

    Yup, that was a mistake. Your minotaur is av 8 (average), and very, very expensive. Putting him on the ground opens up the door to him getting fouled, and as you already know, he might be there for awhile... Fire him. If I don't roll doubles on a mino, I get claws, tentacles, then...

    I replaced a dell power supply with a Corsair a year or 2 ago. If I remember right, it worked just fine. However, I was unable to replace the mobo without replacing the case, because it looked like some kind of proprietary connector to the power switch. I'm 90% sure you'll be okay getting...

    I love a thick low end. It's a lot richer sound out of a heavy string. I've got some cobalt ones on my Dean too, and they're definitely a different sound than the nickel strings on my other 2. Dunlop Tortex Purples (1.14). I have some of every color laying around and grabbed a red...

    Blood Bowl

    It's actually in one of the descriptions for Chaos in game -- something to the effect of "They're not terribly concerned about playing the ball, at least not as long as there's able bodied opposition alive on the pitch, anyway!" In the beginning, injuries are entirely random, until you start...

    Board Games

    This just sounds like you game with complete douchenozzles. Some days the dice work for you and sometimes they don't, there's absolutely no sense in fucking crying about it. I haven't even see that type of behavior in probably 20 years, when I was gaming with teenagers. And we remedied that...

    Well, the thing that makes it kinda suspicious to me is that Kingy10Kingy douche comes in, starts a "What would you like to see in BB 2?" thread, where everyone basically shits on him for it because his suggestions are fucking retarded, and then a day later, Angry Joe shows up with "proof."

    Blood Bowl

    Eh, it has very little to do with lore for me and more to do with laziness on the part of the dev's. There are already somewhat official teams in Slann and Chaos Pact (both of which would be immensely fun to play, judging from the rosters) that could have been included (Although rumor has it...

    I just took this entire sale as more of a reflection on the gaming industry than Steam. There's just not much out right now that I want to play, or I own already as a result of previous sales. There really aren't many games right now that are OMG MUST OWN, so I'm just working through my...

    They don't really shine out of the box, and they take a little while to get rolling, but once they do, they're pretty solid. Optimal TV in the 1400ish range. Claw on doubles, and the insane versatility of the bulls with cheap and reasonable hobgoblins and they're a pretty solid team. I...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    The only thing I see that could possibly even come close to what you describe is the human lifespan compared to mice article. Even without the 200 years claim, that's still pretty exciting stuff that should give anyone opposed to stem cell research for any reason a reason to rethink their...

    We had this discussion on FOH ad naseum. Basically is that it was originally planned to go 5+ seasons, but without Andy now they're just not feeling it anymore. New dude just isn't the lead character that Whitfield was. The show is good despite him, not because of him. With Oenameus...

    The Walking Dead

    The only "bad choice" you can make where you die is where you don't shoot the zombies in the head when they come at you. Or where you don't see that you need to pick up the screwdriver to stab them in the eye. There are no other "bad choices" you can make. Every choice leads to the same outcome.

    You guys are pretty angry over getting games for 50-75% off just because they're 51-76% off somewhere else. Lemme know when we're back to paying $60 for games and don't have a choice and maybe I'll work up some rage to join you. It's basic business. If you are selling a mass fuckload of...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    That's not an accurate assessment at all. Are you saying James Cameron did not go down to the Mariana Trench? Are you saying Voyager hasn't left the influence of the sun? I mean, thepossibleapplications of some of the tech may be overstated, but there's nothing in there that is premature...

    Album of the Year (2012)

    Pretty slow year for metal. Dethalbum 3 was probably the biggest disappointment of the year...just generic "collect a paycheck" type shit that will prevent me from buying a Dethalbum 4. Might have to bend the rules a bit, but I'd have to say I probably listened to Imaginaerum from Nightwish...

    The Walking Dead

    I thought the characters were shallow as shit. No matter what choices you make, no one changes their opinions of you enough to matter. You can help Kenny out all fucking game and you still need to scrap with the fucker at times, and he still cries like a little bitch every time you tell him to...

    Left 4 Dead 2 Revival

    If by better, you mean no game ever finished because any time any team actually completed a map, the other team immediately quit. It was nothing but a waste of time if you didn't have a dozen like minded friends to play with.

    Blood Bowl

    Hard is widely regarded as the easiest difficulty setting, because hard actually adjusts the AI to be more conservative and more risk averse. Therefore, if you apply a lot of pressure on them, they're likely to run backwards rather than forwards, because they don't want to lose the ball...

    This stereotype is extremely accurate. The one I dated wouldn't fuck me, because that was wrong, but she'd do everything else, all the fucking time. My dick was sore for 2 weeks.

    Blood Bowl

    I can churn thru a SP game in 30-45 minutes, mostly because the AI doesn't give you too much you really need to work against. I block, I move the ball, I foul, next turn. But vs other people, I think that match above with Obilio was like an hour and a half. Gets intense when you know that...

    I started working overnights the year after I got out of high school, and I also moved out on my 18th birthday, with my entire senior year left. So basically I was apartment dwelling for 11ish years there, and during that entire time I suffered from pretty much daily insomnia. It's how I met...

    Do you have health insurance?

    It would absolutely not be better. There would be millions upon millions of under/uninsured people because no one thinks that shit can happen to them.

    You'll get no argument from me on the matter, but unfortunately, single payer got shot down because people don't want socialism. So it is what it is. There's a sizable portion of my colleagues that agree as well, but for some fucking reason, here we are. Lost a week of vacation, lost 17 sick...

    That doesn't matter for campaign, which it sounds like they're doing. Campaign on advanced is actually pretty damned well balanced for 4 average joes. Expert tends to get a little ridiculous, and normal is just a snorefest.
