So, I won a Regional PTQ last weekend. Now qualified for Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar.

I did, but I sold my house and moving back to Oklahoma on the 7th.

Won Gameday at two different shops on Sat/Sun. Sold both mats and the Thunderbreak promos for $110. I wouldn't even have gone but I am still short a few PWP for two byes next year since I had to take off almost 5 months this season. I'll be at the Open in Dallas to finish things off.

Agreed. I won Alabama Standard states and our TO just used the minimum payout unlike many of the surrounding states who made each day 1ks in addition to the stock prizes.

I will be more than likely.

I'm level 8 and the only bug I encountered (pre patch) is the Ranger pet death debuff sticking until I swap them out and back in to the party.

Leaving for the Invitational in the morning and sticking with Abzan control. I still feel like the deck is well positioned with the upgrades of Duress, Dromoka's Command, Ultimate Price, and Dragonlord Dromoka. The first three cards are obvious. The Dragonlord is definitely spicy but I think...

So, the next Invitational is the same weekend Dragons becomes legal (due to the change in the block system). Looks like I am going to be raped by pre-order prices as I won't have access to cards if I don't buy them from SCG.

My comment was general in nature. It wasn't directed at you, Enzie.

No sympathy here either. I can't count the number of times I have been in turns (by virtue of the match up, slow play, etc) and having my opponent in a hammer lock yet they refuse to concede despite the fact that a draw is just as bad as a loss excluding some rare situations. GP New Jersey...

Fake tits for sure. Women can't get those kind of low body fat levels without their tits disappearing or deflating in to saggy bags. Ass is mostly genetics (pelvic tilt, etc), diet and hard work. Butt implants are extremely obvious if the woman isn't overweight.

I'm 37. No debt. No kids and no plans on any. 40k in a 401k. I don't know any of the details about what you're referring to Blazin, but I would like to learn. The reason I chose Vanguard is the minimal fees and from what I've read managed funds rarely (if ever) beat the returns of buy...

We're certainly not rich. What I meant by my "make enough" comment is that we can allow it to grow without being tempted to touch it.

I've got 400k sitting in my checking account (it's what was left over after a settlement) and I have decided to invest in Vanguard because I know enough about investing to know that I don't know enough about investing. I've always been very financially responsible. I have no debt, I have a...

I'm still qualified for the next 3 or 4, but I haven't yet convinced my wife to allow me to be away for 4 days while we are already away visiting family for Christmas.

I won game one and game two ended in 6 turns after I got Waste/Loam locked. So, no that wouldn't have mattered.

I'm on the plane headed home from GPNJ. The tournament didn't go anywhere close to what I expected. I am damn good at Legacy, but there's not a lot I can do about players who don't have a lot of experience with the format bordering on slow play every turn. I only took one loss, but I...

Preparing for GPNJ, I've jammed about 100 matches playing BUG Delver on MTGO in the last 48 hours and I keep getting shit on by Miracles. My build is more tempo oriented which may be incorrect for the current meta.

Anyone going to GP New Jersey? I just booked my flight.

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...
