    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...

    Buying a car?

    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.

    Well then I guess the obvious follow up question is, why waste the $$ on comp?

    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.

    Blood Bowl

    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...

    Blood Bowl

    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...

    Your quote included 2 trains of thought, and didn't complete the second. I don't care much about how long I'd get to game when the power is out. My reason for buying them would be to have one on every floor and in the bedrooms running LED lighting for extended periods during a power outage...

    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. Most of your actions are controlled by the dice, so you need a really good understanding of probabilities in order to succeed...

    surge protector/UPS

    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.

    I guess it depends on your definition of "Any good at all." If you mean compete on a master level, then yeah, if you mean whoop old men in the park, you really don't need that much. My Dad taught me to play chess before I knew how to read, I was 4 or 5. Took until I was about 14 to beat...

    It's just parental nature to freak out if your kid isn't progressing like they're "supposed" to. Everyone does it to some degree or another, but some people just get more freaked out about it than others. First/only kid might be a major contributor to offenders here.
