    If you had twenty years left on your mortgage would you sell the bulk of your collection to pay that off? That is the situation that Ratina said he was in. Multiple decades is what he said. I think you gotta pay it off in that situation.

    MTG thread

    If I recall correctly that came about after there were multiple targeted buyouts of certain cards. The goal of that behavior was to drive up prices and then sell at a profit. I have no objections with buying something you feel is undervalued and then selling it and making money in the process...

    The value of your assets are tied directly to the actions of the Hasbro Corporation and as such deserve an extra level of skepticism. People in this country used to throw parties when they paid off their homes. People prided themselves on not owing anyone. There's absolutely nothing about...

    I think if you can pay off a 15+ year mortgage with proceeds from the time you've spent playing a children's card game you pay off the mortgage.

    The D&D thread

    I've sold mountains of DnD stuff over the years on eBay and it's always gone fine. I've had bad experiences with other kinds of items but I'd have no worries at all about unloading DnD stuff there. It's all easy to ship and the books can go media mail.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is what it looks like It'll occasionally jump to a reasonable download rate but it spends most of the time at zero. This is the result of my starting it up and going to bed. I've followed some of the suggestions on Blizzard's website like deleting the battle.net data and I've tried...

    I went to log on after a few weeks away and I'm having the damned time downloading the patch. Is spotty connectivity a thing or is something fucked up on my end?

    The Walking Dead

    I had given up on the show when the governor raided the prison, whatever season that was, and only tuned in to this episode because I was curious. I thought it was pretty good. Was the last season of a similar quality?

    There we go, the double swerve. Pretty good overall. Equally horrifying in the comic.

    I just tuned in today because last season ended with Negan's introduction and I wanted to see what they went with. I'm not sorry that I stopped watching the show. This is just abusive levels of milking.

    I like the stories and dialogue just fine but in future playthroughs I better be able to skip all of that shit and skip it quickly.

    Poll Do you think Trump will actually win the presidency in November?

    I don't get all the citations. KEYWORD KEYWORD KEYWORD doesn't actually mean fuck all to me. Is your point that the media latches on to and pushes narratives?

    Poll Do you think Trump will actually win the presidency in November?

    Lackluster? He got dunked on and had to work hard to dig himself out of that hole PLUS RMoney didn't keep the full court press going in the later debates.

    Poll Do you think Trump will actually win the presidency in November?

    I'm going to vote for him but if he can't put it together for these last two debates than he doesn't deserve to win. Obama fucked up one debate as well. One. He righted the ship and went on to beat RMoney. Pence did his job and now Trump needs to do his.

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    Chrono Cross by far. I've tried to go back to it a couple of times and give it an honest chance but I just hate the fucking thing. It was the tombstone that marked the death of my life as a console gamer. I had been reading about EQ in magazines and once I got to spend the night at a friends...

    I've sold on eBay many times and it's gone fine. If you go that route I'd recommend sticking to domestic shipping only. Canada is fine, Japan is fine, and some of Europe is fine. Italy and Mexico are just asking to get fucked.

    The campaign I'm running right now has eight different players. At any particular session there's three to seven present and that's fine with me. Getting a bunch of adults together in one physical location for a few hours on the same day is tough and it's no trouble for me at all to scale things...

    A Game of Pool I would rank very highly as well. It says a lot about gaming and competition in its 22 minutes. As a dog owner all my life I've always had a soft spot for The Hunt.

    I watched some matches and it was pretty good. I didn't miss the cards that got benched, matches were interesting, commentary was good, etc. It also had some really unique moments like when Chakki ran out a Vilefin Inquisitor in his control Paladin and totally fucked over his opponent with an...

    Wait, people are talking about Crystalis? That game is great! It's one I go back to every few years and run through again. It does have a few spots where it's easy to just have no fucking clue what to do next but overall I rank it very highly among games in the NES library. It's got some iconic...

    I've always done double Lone Wolf personally. When the Enhanced Edition came out I tried a few different pairings for the Tactical difficulty mode.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Even though I was a Resto Shaman at the time and felt outclassed in some of them I overall liked TBC heroics. It reminded me doing stuff in EQ like revamped CT or other content not everyone could do. I may or not be a crazy person.
