He very much liked how during the early days of Magic you could buy some cards, play some games, and then have an entirely different experience as you interacted with more and more people. There would be cards you never saw being used in ways you didn't think of and isn't this all so special. He...

When I got Revered with Honorbound I went and bought all the location unlock scrolls not realizing they were 100 war resources each. Between those and the upgrade missions that followed I bankrupted myself. It's taken a bit to get back into the black.

That's amazing.

Twitter baffles me. A major director attached to one of the greatest film franchises in history is out on twitter taking shots at the community. How is that even something you're paying attention to, how do you have time for any of this nonsense, and why are you continuing to inflame the fanbase?

I look forward to being a geezer and introducing young people to The Usual Suspects, Snatch, Boondock Saints, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Layer Cake.

I got to watch Frailty at movie night with some fellow nerds and it really caught me by surprise. In a different era I think it could have been a major commercial success.

The slide with Tezz has the website for what I guess is Hasbro's official store HasbroToyShop.com? If you can just go and order these on their website at MSRP, even if that MSRP is very high, it'll be bonkers how much product they move. edit - could indicate a new series of super premium...

I rewatched Return of the Jedi when RLM put out a commentary track for it and I was not prepared for how much of a detriment all the changes were to that film. The ending has a fucking Jar Jar Binks cameo along with Hayden Christensen as well. It was bad.

Hearthstone 19th place in total viewers with MtG at 20th place, the end times are upon us.

I know people had a lot to say about Admiral Purple Hair but I was not prepared for just how patronizing her mannerisms, tone, and delivery actually were. This is the leader of the rebellion? How?

If your goal is biggest numbers possible than charm just isn't the way to go. On a target like Silverwing the correct spell layout is seven dots + FD with VP staff clicks thrown in as well. If the fight is going too fast and you have to dump mana swap in Gangerous Touch towards the end of the...

What I've wanted for a while now is a new game plus version of EverQuest. Go back and revamp Classic and Kunark with a full retooling of items and raids, jack up the difficulty, include Beastlords and Berzerkers, and let 'er rip. With some better itemization, some new raid mechanics (that you...

Going through VP it comes down to is whether or not there are enough Bards to go around. If you're light on Bards than Necromancers are still very good in whatever leftovers group they get tossed in to but the melee classes actually need to be supported.

Fuck, it makes so much sense to hold the rocket itself rather than try and hold the stick.

Star Trek has dozens of doomsday weapons and impossibly powerful alien technologies that are almost never, ever brought up outside of their specific episodes. It's just something that you get as sci-fi universes expand. Heck, there's one episode of DS9 where chemical weapons are used to make a...

Is there some kind of mechanic in place for alts or is the CoA grind exactly the same with a second character?

If the Kirin Tor emissary was offering 1500 reputation Champions of Azeroth tokens you'd be all about the bubbles. The Tortollas just don't have that extra cherry to balance out their lameness making them even more lame by comparison. To continue the bashing of CoA I'm disappointed that there...

I was keeping this as my personal secret but if you watch closely some of the idle animations of the objects cause them to reveal themselves in some locations. The crab with the spyglass is often visible if you watch carefully. This allows you to make optimal, guess-free moves at the open and...

Given the choice I prefer the Kirin Tor and I definitely prefer getting a token as the reward that I could assign to any faction. I feel there's some meta commentary on the relationship between the old and the young of society with the Tortollan world quests. Grandpa, why are you always trying...

Does anyone have experience with the follower equipment that gives a chance for materials upon mission completion? Are they any good?

I've got tailoring and without the Scrapper I don't see how I could ever get enough Deep Sea Satin / Embroidered Deep Sea Satin to do anything. Combines require a lot of shit and from 110 to 120 I got maybe thirty Deep Sea Satin as drops? I was fucking shocked to see there was a bandage combine...

Go one step further and hide the bar entirely. You know it's a carefully gated grind that is tied to character progression, you know that it is adjusted weekly, and you know that no matter what you're going to need a bazillion points. Watching it tick up isn't going to tell you anything useful...

Horde wanted quests in Kul Tuthans whatever the fuck are giving proper Honorbound faction. If you did the quests previously you can do the ones that were changed again.

Wanting to grind all at once without a gate mechanic is neither wanting everything handed to you nor not wanting to play the game.

So it's just some transitional gear and not all that big of a deal? Then why the hyperbolic strawman of "you just want the best items in the game handed to you."

I like that your defense of the game is indistinguishable from criticism of the game. There's something to be said for completing your objectives so you don't have to log all the time. You put in the extra effort now so it's off your plate. There's nothing wrong with a forty year mortgage...

Whenever I log on it's like WoW has arranged a very detailed and orderly play date for me and I just wish the whole thing was a little more freeform. Everything is gated behind a long series of small chores all carefully compartmentalized, sterilized, and portioned out. Playing through Legion I...

Hot Tub Time Machine 2 I had liked the first one, heard the second one was a trainwreck, and it was. It wasn't without some good jokes but a large portion of the film is truly dreadful.

Getting to max level and seeing 90 different world quests available that refresh daily including such winners as "match game" as well as TWO copies of "protect baby turtles by trying to gauge arcs in a tight first person" combined with the knowledge that the entire rest of the story AND the rest...

Have you ever seen the original I Spit on Your Grave? I think you would like it and by like it I mean you'd barely make it through and then never watch it again. It's good though! Rape revenge exploitation flick from the '70s.

Still on break from 1st quarter 2015 and no complaints so far.

Now, I never saw the movie. I haven't seen any of the new Star Wars movies. It sounds like the ships just release bombs in what looks exactly like a WW2 bombing run. That's still dumb. It just didn't have to be.

Gravity well - Wikipedia You just give an object a little push down a body's well and gravity does the rest.

The guy that worked a second job for a while to maintain his Percocet habit pointing out he isn't in nearly as deep as the methodone crowd doesn't look like less of an alien to the rest of us. edit - like this but for Magic cards "Once you get locked into a serious drug collection the...

Discussing the costs of Magic with Heylel is like having a discussion with a masochist about having your scrotum nailed to a chair. Their perspective isn't invalid but the amount of overlap between how you see things and how they see things is going to be pretty low.

Oof, you don't even get to replace the fakes with real ones provided you can buy/borrow some right quick? Maybe between rounds but not during the match itself?

One of the problems I ran into doing lower level content was that zones weren't even vaguely on par with each other. For example I found Sithilus to be absolute trash with tons of running, kill 15 of this now kill 20 of that, and no story. I bailed to Felwood and it was night and day. A quest to...

Sure, that's going to raise suspicion but that's also the dummy move. I think the way to go with counterfeits of old cards is to try to pass them off as in poor condition. Throw them in a tumbler with poker chips (wooden, ideally) to simulate natural wear. There was a particular way that old...

Yep. Fakes don't need to be perfect. They just need to be within the margin for error.
