You should have driven to a police station. No creeper is ballsy enough to keep it up(no pun intended) in front of the cops. Also, take down the plate numbers. Repeated stalking isn't cool because what if your gf is driving your car one day when he starts following it.
I saw this last week and enjoyed it. Having not seen the previous 3 films and only a vague memory of the 80's cartoon probably greased the wheels of enjoyment. *sigh* Had this been a Beast Wars movie I probably would have more to say about it. It's just liquid entertainment inside easy to digest capsules! No more, no less.
It's pretty similar to the final playtest materials that we're using for this season of Encounters. The system is very streamlined so you spend more time roleplaying and exploring than calculating things or deciding which powers to use. Also, it's open-ended enough to allow your group to play whatever way is best for them. My group likes to use a mat and minis for exploring indoor spaces so we can make the most out of our movement actions but you don't need to use those things.
The PDF of the Basic Rules looks great and gives the bones of what you need to know about Next(I probably won't call it 5th at this point). The changes to the classes are pretty small and reflect the ability to play until level 20. I really want to see the PHB because I'm using a Tiefling in Encounters and want to know if there will be rules for use of wings or tails. I'm pretty sure that Tiefling and Dragonborn are staying core races and I think Gnomes might return to core. Also, can't wait to see the new Monster Manual. The new stat blocks are easy to understand so even the newest DM shouldn't have a hard time reading each entry.
IMO the lightness of the system is so that the setting of the campaign you're in or running will add flavor and complexity to the game rather than the rules or core mechanics. 3E(e.g. the enormous library of OGL supplments) and 4E(e.g. D&D Insider) had a lot of additives and that often caused problems for DMs and made playing very clunky and unfun at times. Plus, there's a feeling of inclusiveness that I've never felt from any other edition I've played. Many people in my Encounters group are veteran players but a handful are new to D&D and Next's easy character creation(or Wizard's surprisingly good pregens) and game mechanics have closed the knowledge gap.
I love gaming cons! Being able to play new games with strangers is really fun to me. Also, I get to trade Magic with new people. I want to go to a Comic Con but the tickets sell out too fast and in some cases the organizers are totally clueless about how to deal with creepers and **** shaming. NYCC sold out quick but I'll probably buy a ticket off of an auction site*. I picked NYCC because it's within my state and so traveling there will be cheap.
*=It's illegal to sell NYCC tickets...unless you can deliver them within 30 days on most sites. So once the tickets get mailed out it'll be ok to buy off an auction site.
Looks like one of the two land slots is Evolving Wilds and the other one starts with A or B. I'm hoping for Ancient Tomb but wouldn't be shocked if it were Ancient Ziggurat. Though with all the reprints both could be new cards instead.
-Weird pasta my brother made. It had italian sausage, broccoli, red & green peppers, and not enough alfredo sauce.
-PB&J
-Nachos
This is the most I've eaten all week. There was pretty much nothing in the fridge until an hour ago and I went to a local soup kitchen twice so I didn't have to eat beans again. My mom went to Price-Rite and bought stock in Goya beans a few months ago and I don't want to eat another bean for a long while. The soup kitchen gives away bread so I I'd been eating PB&J a lot the past two weeks. My family isn't even that poor but my brother eats like a hog and so we have food for a few days after shopping and then its a grind until payday. >.< I am moving out again, for good this time, as soon as possible because I can live quite nicely on $50 of food a week but its hard to do that when I live at home.
On topic, that's a lot of Gushers dude. Give them away to some kids and forget they exist. If you have to be addicted to candy be addicted to quality candy, like Dairy Milk for example. My low brow candy addiction are those mini Kit Kats they sell unwrapped in bags. I limit myself to eating them only at the movies though.
I went to click on another user's name, to read their other posts, and it said that person was banned. A quick glance in the suspended/banned thread tells me he is not banned and since he continues to post I assume he is not. I'm not bothered by it but it's strange enough to report.
Hell isn't exactly what people think it is. It's not eternal torture or suffering in the way that we could understand it. Hell is to be utterly and completely without the presence of God. In Revelations it's said that when you're judged if you go to Hell that your name is stricken from the book of life and God will not know you anymore. The whole "lake of fire" thing is how it's supposed to feel when you're without God in your life or in this case afterlife.
One of the ways Konami has reduced singles prices, theft, and counterfeiting, is by aggressively reprinting chase cards. If there is a staple that costs $50+, it will be reprinted in a lower rarity. As a result, speculation is not as profitable as Magic and counterfeiters do not want to fake cards that aren't in as high demand.
The original printing of a chase rare remains valuable, but not enough to make it worth hundreds of dollars. The caveat to this is that it becomes less profitable for stores to sell singles. Although not as profitable as Magic, running Yugioh is still going to make a store money(not sure on exact numbers, I would have to ask some of my friends that own/run stores).
One of the reasons Konami was able to handle YGO the way they did was because it has been aggressively branded as a TCG from day one. They're aware that players collect the cards but it is first and foremost a game to be played and to that end pretty much tournament cards are reasonably affordable. Players are more concerned about getting good at the game and often have 2 or 3 decks rather than just 1. Magic players want to put the blinders on to the fact that YGO is growing but it is and soon your little brother and his pals will be at your LGS playing in YGO tournaments.
Anyway, I think that Legacy and Modern tournament play has exceeded Wizards ability to maintain a decent supply of cards for them. That cute little trickle of staples they've been seeding into various products just ain't cutting it and MM did almost nothing to actually grow the format or cut prices. It's clear Wizards wants Modern to grow so the whole "too bad you're poor" attitude isn't really in keeping with that goal. Legacy has been all but cut loose as an official format but Wizards has to keep it around to avoid being accused of being in it solely for the money.
It seems like there's some sort of misunderstanding between the people that currently own the cards that are being counterfeited and those that want reprints so the demand for fakes will wane. I know it doesn't seem like it now but the fakes will soon have an impact on you. Every trade or sale will now put a thought to the effect of "I hope this isn't fake." in the back of your mind. That poor bum at your EDH table that suddenly has ABU duals will make you distrustful of your peers. At some point you will want to cash in and the store owner who has known you for years will demand the bend test for every card above $50. The collectors that the RL was meant to protect will stop buying and collecting because the integrity of the supply has been breached.
But go on ahead and think that it won't happen to you and that the supply of fakes will stay small.
While I enjoyed the movie I am sick of the nigh omnipotent mutants in the form of Prof X and Magneto. I mean Magneto can now take railroads and reprogram robots with it? I can only see this getting worse with the introduction of Apocalypse as well. It is kind of hum drum to me.
Magneto didn't reprogram the Sentinels. Remember, Trask made them without any metal in them and so Magneto had to put some metal inside them so he control their movements with his metal fu. They turned on only because they were in close proximity to a mutant.
Xavier and Magneto are only the tip of the iceberg. Jean Grey as the Phoenix trumps both combined. The X-Men timeline isn't far enough in the future for Rogue to have sucked Ms. Marvel's(she's owned by Marvel Studios so the comic version of Rogue ain't happening) powers out yet. There are tons of powerful mutants but they would be best served with solo films. Once Marvel Studios reboots Blade and Daredevil I think Fox will be forced to look to mutants they wouldn't touch before, like Psylocke, Daken, Cable, and X-23(I can dream!).
As plain as that is, why do you keep trying to trip me up with your rhetorical tricks?
Highroller is just using the dialectical process to increase his understanding of you and your position. He hasn't actually insulted you or demeaned you and has only presented his own arguments and questions in response to his. It seems like he's trying to trip you up because he's not really providing an answer or conclusion. When it comes to a topic like this one I'm not sure there can be a definitive "right" answer.
From the outside it looks like Highroller believes in a truly loving God who forgives and doesn't consign people to hell while PandasRpeople2 believes in a God who rewards and punishes strictly based on the laws laid out in the Bible, with maybe a little wiggle room to ignore clearly outdated concepts and rules. Highroller wants to know why the idea of punishment of sin is so important to Pandas' and such a large concept in his mind and Pandas' has yet to really answer that question.
I would appreciate a better response from Wizards than we've gotten. Why? Because my faith in them as a business venture is waning. When I started playing in late 2003 I only had a rudimentary understanding of the TCG/CCG & tabletop gaming industry but a little over a decade later I've learned a lot. This past decade has seen Wizards muck up on a grand scale, from losing Pokemon to allowing Duel Masters to die in the US market(and then pretending it never happened with Kaijudo) to turning its back on the OGL(Open Gaming Lisence) concept to spitting in the eye of tabletop industry giants like Monte Cook and Tracy Hickman. On top of that Magic changed a lot on the OP end and many of those changes(the end of Player Rewards, no more launch parties, the abrupt end of Gateway, the lack of interesting swag for stores, etc) made me play less, not more. Wizards has learned some tricks from how Konami does things with YGO but missed the point of why Konami did what they did. Making a foil reprint set every year is fine but giving it a limited print run and only giving to hobby stores is creating the next generation of "Mr. Suitcase", not making hard to find cards more readily available.
Counterfeits are worrisome to me because they increase the chances of entry level players of Modern and Legacy getting cheated in a trade or sale. I wouldn't buy into a format that carries a decent chance of getting a fake staple card. No one wins when people won't buy fetchlands for $25 OR $70 because one might be a fake and the other is just too ridiculously priced AND might be a fake.
Why Emmara instead of somebody like Trostani? Honestly, Emmara has always underwhelmed me, even when she was merely part of the 99, and I suspect that as a general that's even more the case.
I don't have a Trostani. It's really that simple. I'm unemployed until the end of the month and haven't had money to get one and none have been in trade binders that I've seen. Anyway, Emmara is kind of a game sealer and I like being able to play it when I need to and not have to draw it.
We always end up singing Still Alive at the shop for one reason or another. Usually because someone mentions the cake, which is both delicious AND moist. The only song that inspires more lulz is Ninja Of The Night.
Who cares about this? Probably only the 12 year old boys who have a crush on her(or Zack).
