    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    Eh, allowing them to recycle through RTAC does seem a bit unfair at first, but according to that article only guard are required to attend RTAC, reserve and regulars had the option to go straight to Ranger School. In a sense, women are actually being held to a higher standard than men, not a...

    Geez lol. I was just being a smartass, the 'sleeper hold' just involved climbing on top of the covers and snuggling until she fell asleep. I try to avoid babying the younger one because she constantly makes a fuss about nothing, but when the older one is crying she's almost always legitimately...

    Had to put a 4 year old in a sleeper hold last night. Best thing about nieces is that they're nieces and not daughters.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    That is a bountiful day. I bought a 10 pack of Mayhem boxes which got me penix force magic, a bp token, and then a bunch of costumes that all went in the grinder. Got some useful boosts out of it too though

    Yeah I'm being a dick. It's true that they pretty much only sell cheap wines in a box, but if for some crazy reason you wanted to package a quality wine in something bigger than a fifth, a box would be best. You can sometimes find middling quality wines in a handle though. Only the best for...

    Boxes are actually the best way to commercially store larger quantities of wine.

    Nefarian got me a duplicate, but yeah. it gave me lethal. Nefarian is fun, I've been running him in control warrior since I don't have geddon or the second brawl that belongs in that slot. Really should just craft a second brawl.

    Blood Bowl 2

    Well that settles it. Under no circumstances would I ever play this game even if it was offered to me free. The shit they did with making up a team and leaving out star players in the original was bad enough.

    Hearthstone TGT Tournament: Rerolled Edition

    Eh, for Conquest I'd think you just want to use the three most broadly powerful decks you could. I'd be very surprised if the final winner of this isn't running both Patron and Secret Pally, although the third choice has a few options.

    Hearthstone TGT Tournament: Rerolled Edition

    Maybe you guys should actually read the conquest rules. I can't just steamroll you in 3 games with Patron, I have to win once with every deck I bring. Once I win with a deck, I can't use it against you again.

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    Despite being one of the better 40K authors they have, Dan Abnett's contributions to the Horus Heresy series haven't been very good. Horus Rising to kick it all off was fine, but Legion was dumb because it not only turned the Alpha Legion primarch into twins, it made their motivations for siding...

    Blood Bowl 2

    The difficulty of a dodge depends on how many tackle zones you're moving into, not how many tackle zones you're moving out of. So assuming your guys are spaced out evenly to make an X or a +, he's at a -2 for the first dodge and has no penalty for the second dodge. He needed a 4+ for the first...

    Hearthstone

    Well I was biased against it because of how bad the inspire mage vs joust hunter brawl was. You'd win most of your jousts with it but just continually clog your hand up with stuff you couldn't cast. In actual play, it's not terrible.

    I'd probably still go with Warrior, Paladin, Mage if we could swap decks between matches.

    Even playing it poorly you're favored against every variation of secret pally. *edit* I didn't read conquest rules first, that does change things quite a bit. Still think most people should be taking patron and secret pally though.

    this seems like a pretty safe bet. With no bans I can't imagine why you wouldn't run patron, secret, and then a third that matches up decently against one of those two.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well the only club in my town was pretty small, like barely enough privacy for a handshake much less full service. Very amateurish too, nothing but college students and single moms with tuition/bills to pay. I wouldn't push them out of bed but I wouldn't pay them for sex.

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    I enjoyed getting Space Wolf stuff that was based on actual ancient nordic/germanic traditions instead of them being romanticized space vikings. The story itself, however, meandered all over the place, had little to do with the Heresy, and had almost nothing to do with Prospero either. The only...
