    MTG Strats/Cards that you Like and Dislike

    Does it count that I've been playing the game since the Channel/Fireball combo was legal? Back when being "exiled" meant there was no way back into the game, and Swords to Plowshares did that rather efficiently. I've seen people lose because someone played The Rack back to back with The Black...

    Activision Announces Guitar Hero Live For Fall 2015 Release

    There is something else they're going to have to address. The peripherals themselves. The cheap plastic 'guitars' of the past usually had a microswitch break down, whether it was because it was cheaply made, or overuse (which can happen with microswitches, especially when they're as hammered as...

    Poll: Have you ever bought a game you knew nothing about before seeing in the store?

    Twice, and both times, I was not disappointed. The first, was Unreal Tournament (the original one, came from the Unreal game as the multiplayer aspect, which was tacked on, as an afterthought). The second was (and many people will agree with me) Painkiller. There's just something about...

    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    Extra Credits takes a powder: "Okay, they had to do what they had to do, it's understandable." LoadingReadyRun exits: "Umm... that was unexpected, but still, people have to look out for themselves. It's understandable." Jim Sterling leaves: "Uh. Okay, didn't see that happening. Hope everything...

    Fun ways to screw with Telephone sales people

    My absolute favorite, used recently. Got them to hang up on me. They'd been calling every day, around the same time (dinner time) so I think they had this one coming. "City morgue. You stab 'em, I'll slab 'em"

    What is your favorite dog/cat breed?

    There's two breeds of dogs that happen to be my absolute favorites. The first (but not what I have now) would be the Akita. The second (and what graces my house now, and has for the last year and a half) is the American Akita. Commonly confused with each other, and I'll not go into why...

    What's the most awesome thing you did in school?

    Somehow managing to fly under every radar, even though I had saved the lives of 4 people, one every year, for the entire time I was in high school. That trend continues to this day, as since then, I've saved another 6 under other randomized circumstances. The 4 (once a year, every year) were...

    A random Super Power Thread

    I'm about to trump everyone else in this thread. Common sense. Yes, common sense needs to be classified as a super power, because it's so terribly rare to find in today's society (just go look at the 'fails' on youtube, you'll see what I mean).

    What would you do if people suddenly started coming back to life?

    Well, after quietly freaking out about people coming back to life, I'd have to get me one of these bad boys, and go straight to town on the nearest corpse. Of course, then I'd have to find some gas. Most likely because swinging that bad boy around like a madman can get a little tiring, one...

    Mouse problem.

    Mine suffocates them, or chokes 'em out, then brings the carcasses to me. He also beats the crap out of my Akita. It's quite hilarious to watch.

    Playstation 3 and PS+ questions

    If you do get a ps3, and decide to fork out the $50 USD for a year's worth of PS+, that will most likely pay for itself inside the first week. This time around, the free games are Tomb Raider, Brothers, Borderlands 2, Payday 2, Remember Me, Thomas Was Here (indie title), and there are quite a...

    The Surgical Surgery Thread!

    Let's see. I've had a quadruple hernia repaired, a titanium alloy implant placed in the right side of my face, to replace the shattered cheekbone and orbital bone that I suffered when I was a kid. I've had the left side of my face completely repaired after a dog (my own) bit half my face off...

    Dungeons & Dragons Next Release Date, New Product, Leak - Update

    Let's just say I'm more than a bit perturbed about yet ANOTHER D&D product being released by WotC. I'll go into my own history with the game briefly, and from that, you might understand why I'm upset. The first set I ever got was in 1981, a box set with the Basic rulebook, and the Expert...

    Changing a Lifestyle and loving it

    Are you still trying to eat 3 square meals a day? If you are, don't. It will work against you. Instead, try eating what could be called a 'diabetic diet'. Quite simply, is less food more often through the day. Here's how it works. In the morning, you have breakfast. What you have is kind of...

    Do's and Don'ts of a Dungeon Master?

    Back in the late '80's there was a module called "The Keep" which was a direct 'port' of the movie by the same name. Even the villains made the transition to paper. OT: One rule to follow at all times. If a rule in the book either breaks your campaign, or doesn't mesh well with the players...
