You could always go poison control. Or Black Green for Sacrificial Dagger. Sacrificial Dagger forcing your opponent to grave or exile his cards from all over his field,deck and hand, meaning you won't have to deal with Emrakul.

My word, this is difficult.

How does green usually deal with all the discard and lightning bolt fests? I've tried adding Asceticism to my decks but everything is fatal push or that sorcery that reveals hands.

It's been like Pass Turn the mega game for the most part. Even met a couple decks that went for land destruction. And two now that played the infinite mana Urza shit, one did that for Emrakul.

Now I'm playing the Acidic Oozes and Woodfall Primus' too. Even got the Obstinate Baloths in the sideboard for black discard decks and a couple Naturalizes for the enchant-you-to-death decks.

Once again, add some Gaeas Blessings to your deck. Literally prevents people from milling you. You can either play it from your hand to return 3 cards to your deck, or if it goes from deck to graveyard, it shuffles your entire grave into your deck.

As for Emrakul, There are many options available to you. You can use cards like Ensnaring Bridge preventing him from attacking, or Fog to prevent combat damage, Memnarch to gain control, Scour from Existence(removing him from the game), Icy Manipulator to force him to keep Emrakul tapped. He is only immune to colored spells that specifically target him. Also there are overpowered cards like Door to Nothingness, or Coalition Victory.

Also, try and not go mono-green. Usually Dual colours are the best.

Its a combo of 3 things for me. The eyes aren't big enough, there are too many teeth, and the face isn't long enough.

4 things actually, I'm reminded of the oil or whatever it is they are using in the movie that makes him look a little too slick.

Maybe they could have added a bit more of elongation to the live action Venom costume. Something to make it look more similar to the 94' cartoon. a human face just doesn't work for it. That look is more akin to Carnage.

They can make it smaller, but I'd be doing modifications so the larger area the better. Normally with a transmutation circle there are 3 symbols in circles. I'd take those symbols out, and put in ones that mean more to me.

24 lands is a lot of lands. Usually I stick to 16-18 in a mana generating deck, as usually you can get mana from creatures or land enhancements.

This is my old deck, which plays off of Infinite. I've since stopped playing MTG.

4x Wellwisher
4x Llanowar Elves
4x Argothian Elder
4x Wirewood Channeler
4x Priest of Titania

18x Lands, consisting of about 10 forest, 4 island,1 Gaias Cradle, 3 Wirewood Lodge

2x Fireball
2x Brainstorm
3x Brain Geyser
3x Gaias Blessing(to prevent someone from milling you to death and reuse spells)
3x Pemmins Aura
2x Gemstone Array(this was back when mana burn was a thing mind you)
2x Fastbond
2x Howling Mine
2x Crucible of Worlds

and I might throw in something like a Fog, or Fertile Ground as the last card.

Basic goal is to get Wirewood Channeler, Wellwisher equipped with Pemmins Aura, which is an instant victory, as it generates infinite amount of mana/life.

I'm not a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls series or the Fallout series. I could never get into the games themselves, and while I enjoy GTA its not something I can put hours and hours into.

I would much rather see a Final Fantasy game done properly, though with their direction of getting away from everything that made Final Fantasy good, I doubt that will ever happen.

Speaking of good card games, I really want to play Dominion again....

From what I've read, they are usually caused by Shampoo running down your back. Its why you should scrub it properly and make sure Shampoo is all gone before you get out of the shower.

I met a chick online who wanted me to get her pregnant on the 5th date. Does that count?

I don't have any at the moment, I'm 32, would like to get one on my right shoulder blade, and my right arm half sleeved, maybe an alchemist symbol on my left forearm, though due to me breaking it when I was younger, I don't think there is enough space to do so anymore. Might have to go with my leg.

When I was 27, I dated a 20 year old. My buddy, at age 28 dated a 19 year old. As the old saying goes: If there's grass on the field then I'm ready to play ball..... wait... that came out wrong....

What the Fuck is usually my go to. Coupled with something I tend to start a sentence with "Down the Road", meaning in the near future.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+, so.... an open world Isaac game? I'd be down for that.

All the picks are nice, though I kind of wish Shadow Hearts was on that list.... makes me want to play those games again.

I'm actually going to agree with TC. I can't stand the taste of Beer. I guess I have the Tyrone Magnus drinking mentality. Fruity drinks remind you of your childhood and they taste great? sign me up.

I've tried a lot of beer, and none of them sit well with me. Stuff like Whiskey Sour, Sour Puss, Black Cherry Lemonade and Vodka Coolers just make me want to drink more and more. Beer makes me want to throw it away. The only time I'll ever have beer in my home is if I'm deep frying as I use it for batter.

I agree with you on the mixed drinks part. Generally speaking, I do prefer cocktails. But I recommend finding some local shithole brewery and trying some of their gimmicky stuff.

Beer is generally filler and feels like it, but local breweries are really common now and they have some extremely unique flavors these days.

Beer has the benefit of being able to just grab a bottle and being ready to drink though. I don't like going through the process of making a cocktail, though the payout is definitely better. *sips white russian*

for me it always boils down to the aftertaste. I can't stand the aftertaste of beer. I can get over the initial taste, its just the shit that lingers afterwards that leaves a horrible taste in my mouth(figuratively and literally). I'm always up for being proven wrong, but I don't drink much to begin with. A bottle of Sambuca might last me 4-5 months.

I figured out the problem after. Apparently Admins and Moderators aren't allowed to post. So I made a dummy account for posting.

The problem isn't their so called overall belief, its how people go about it.

Best example was Pamela Anderson and Heather Mills attacking the Canadian Seal Fishery. They literally did no research prior to making videos about how harmful the Seal fishery is to everything. How we were clubbing baby seals to death, when in fact that hadn't been done in over 50 years, and that our "fishery" was keeping the numbers in tact as Seals eat a ridiculous amount of fish and breed like crazy. So much so, that without being in check the worlds oceans would be dead right now. They spend millions of dollars on slander videos, only to be taken out with a single video done by our Premier(because the PM did jack all)

bump

its so frustrating. I don't know why it won't let me post in it either. I'm the administrator and everyone else in the group can post in it without a problem.

Its not that I don't want to see it. I just have catching up to do. I was hoping to do that with one of my lady friends but she decided to not text me back.... since last week.

I still have to see Guardians 2, Dr. Strange, Ant Man, and Iron Man 3.

Honestly, I've been a fan of indie games for years now. No they may not have the AAA length or graphical quality as bigger titles, but they are always made with such love. Hence why I love games like Super Meat Boy, Binding of Isaac, Party Hard and the hard to follow plot of Hotline Miami

Very much in the style of Bioshock, as long as the final product looks as good as the trailer, my god, and I don't say this often.... Day 1 purchase.

Yeah...a form of Tourettes. Instead of being vocally cued to repeat stuff(though to be honest I find myself humming the same song over and over again for an 8 hour period during work), mine is mainly my head jutting every which way, and was part of my whole seizure youth, which thankfully I outgrew.

I feel ya man, I've had tourettes for as long as I can remember, and it hasn't gotten any better with age. Never had seizures though, thankfully.

What do you take for it? I take 0.1 of Clonidine.

yeah, that's what I take. It also helps with my blood pressure issues as I have a screwed up kidney. I used to take .2, but it was causing me to pass out at random points(as it was 3x a day).

Yes, they had to surgery a kidney stone out. Wasn't a fun time.

damn man that sucks. since they did that was it easier? like you didn't have to pass it?

Ivany2008 posted...

surprisingly I've never had a problem with the one time I went to a Urologist. Probably because my mother was a nurse for 30+ years, so being around hospitals was natural to me.

What makes me the most nervous is brain surgery. I haven't had it, nor do I ever hope I have it, because I have head ticks(controlled by medication but it flairs up now and then).

So to answer your question. Testicular doctor, no problem, brain doctor tons of problems.

head ticks? i have ticks all over man. shit sucks. im not due for brain surgery any time soon lol so i should be good.

Cornmuffins posted...

If it makes you feel any better I had brain surgery. I had a benign tumor removed, and while I lost peripheral vision on my right side, I'm still kicking

woah i didn't know this wtf why didn't you call me

its not even the getting killed bit that pisses me off. Its the accuracy. I stand there and hit a guy dead center with a shotgun 5 times and he takes no damage, 1 shot to me and I'm dead from full health and 25 armor.

or in an earlier game shooting a guy with a pistol point blank 10 times and all the shots miss.

yet I'll hit a guy 250 feet away with a an assault rifle once and hit him dead on. I hope this is something they are looking into, because its happening far too often to be a coincidence.

word of advice, roll a fast attack healer companion. It will save you a ton of problems. You'll be healing more than you will be dying.

another word of advice, and I'll spoiler here since its a bit of a spoiler

on the second titan(whatever they are called, its been a bit since I played the game), where you meet the tribesmen, there are 2 areas where you can farm super strong enemies for items that will boost your attack power significantly. One of those items shot my attack power from 10 percent up to 60-70 percent, its that significant of an increase

much as people bitch about Gene Simmons, I'd probably say KISS.

But nowadays they are asking things like a 3 year office degree, with an additional 2-3 years experience(how can you get experience.... if no place will hire you without experience).

By knowing someone who already works there...

While the ad might suggest 'the ideal candidate will already have 10+ years doing this exact job and be willing to accept half of what they were paid at their previous job', if you know someone who already works at a place you get hired that day, almost on a whim. You might sit down and shoot the breeze for twenty minutes just so there's an 'interview' period on the books, but that's it.

Yeah, that doesn't happen. Least not where I'm from. I've applied to jobs where I've known people in the business, who have put in a good word about my work, and I still never got hired on. Not even an interview. Instead, what happens is that they hire on some 18 year old, just out of high school with no degree, jack squat, keep him for a month then replace him with someone else, because "he isn't working out because of his age".

Also, the computer repair bit, you have to realize that its based on area. Maybe in your area you don't need a degree, but where I live they refuse to hire you on without one.

yeah maybe the customer or whoever though will say they can't work on my computer if they have no degree

And that's a fair way to look at it, liability.

The reason birth rate is down is because the economy is pretty much on a downfall. Older generations are screwing it up for the rest of us. They made piss poor decisions which are affecting us as a whole. In my area, I can't even get a job for above minimum wage. My buddy who has a degree in computer repair can't find a job paying more than 12 bucks an hour without benefits(the min wage where I live in is 11). Of course this isn't all of them, but the vast majority of them who have owned businesses, or ran businesses have given unwinnable options to the younger generation. They have added stupid stipulations to basic jobs so that no one can get those jobs.

Anyone should be able to become a secretary. But nowadays they are asking things like a 3 year office degree, with an additional 2-3 years experience(how can you get experience.... if no place will hire you without experience).

Many of use are forced to work min. wage jobs, rather than risk the diploma because all those jobs aren't there anymore. Of a graduating class for computer repair only 2 got jobs in their field in that area.

What does this have to do with families and kids? No family where I live wants to raise a kid while working a minimum wage job. I myself have started to put things in motion where I can support just myself without having to work Min. Wage jobs. And those that have kids while working Min. Wage jobs are stuck in a position where they are forced to continue working there otherwise they won't be able to live with their families.

And now you have these min. wage jobs cutting hours but still increase hiring. My own hours were cut from 30 to 10 a week, and I've told my boss that I can work anywhere within the company, and that I'm a fast learner. But no, they expect someone to know everything immediately(in a grocery store, mind you).

Long story short. Some people don't want to have kids because they can't afford to raise kids. Others just don't want to have kids in general.

Thats a steady decline for 37 years straight since 1987.

the fuck, I'm 37 already?

Gonna say, someones math is way off. 30 years old, maybe 31 at most.

I've always been a fan of the classic remote mine, or the grinder in Orcs Must Die. A spring trap isn't bad either.

Phantom Pain would probably be at the bottom for me. Such a garbage game. Sure the mechanics were there, but everything else was utter shit. Story was terrible, there was.... 2 boss fights in the entire game? and the amount of times you had to replay shit to get to the next area was insane.

I'd probably choose Commander Keen 5: Goodbye Galaxy.

What some people seem to forget is you need artwork. I choose to go with the metal art pieces of different video game characters, though you can choose something else.

Also, invest in Chromecast as well as Amazon Echo(or some form of either), easy music that you don't need to search around for, and movies up the wazoo.

This is a hang out spot, not an art gallery though

Just wow..... you've never left your bedroom as a kid have you? Literally every bar or hang-out spot has some form of artwork, or memorabilia supporting their individual taste. Hell, growing up my room was littered with music posters, or game posters.

This is a hang-out spot, not a family room.

so you've never seen the X-Men cartoon series from 94? you really are doing yourself a disservice. Go back and watch that and Spiderman 1994.... Doctors orders.

The easiest way to describe Captain Marvel is this: You know Rogue from X-Men? The reason she can fly is because she absorbed Captain Marvels powers.

Never. Usually that filler ends up being as good as the main story.

Basically what I was trying to say monkey is that having 30 women show up claiming he raped them all at once is really fishy.

I'm not saying he didn't do it. But 30 is kind of an excessive number by any stretch of the imagination.

In your opinion, how many women is it ok to rape before it's a problem

Obviously 1 is too many. But you two don't seem to understand what I'm saying, so I'll try and spell it out a bit clearer. Bill is now 80 years old. These so called events happened over the course of....50 years? Why did it take them all this long to lay a rape charge on to him?

It wasn't until right after the 2nd woman came forward that all these unknown women came out of the woodwork and started claiming rape on Bill. I'm not saying that it didn't happen, or that Bill isn't a total scumbag. But its just interesting that so many claims have been put on him when he can't defend himself anymore.

I believe that Bill raped the first 2 women. Hell, he probably raped a dozen different women. But 30 of them? its a hard thing to grasp. And I honestly feel that at least a couple of them are just doing this trying to extort money out of him when he doesn't even know who he is anymore.

Was there ever any doubt? His lawyers are still calling the girls pathological liars with how many accusers now?

There was plenty of doubt. The problem lies in the mass numbers. While dealing with 1 or 2 cases is bad enough, having to deal with 30 different women claiming something really uses the numbers against him. He may be proven innocent for the first 29 cases, and then the last women having him found guilty.

I'm not saying he didn't do it. Clearly the evidence shows that he had ill intent. But its all about a numbers game unfortunately, and the numbers weren't in his favour. God forbid you get a crooked judge who can't see the colour Grey.

that's pretty much what I figure. He is in too poor health to enter the prison system, so he'll end up having house arrest for the rest of his life.

2 or 3 I can understand being found guilty. When the news first broke a couple years ago and what was it....30 women came out? It sounded a bit fishy.

I hope he gets the jail time that he should face, though with his age and deteriorating health, I probably see him having house arrest instead.
