I can't figure out who won or lost

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

I think WarMachine comic is going to be way worse of a problem than WoW comic.

It's one of those hobbies where if you don't have as much time, dedication and disposable income to sink it to it as the person you're up against, you'll usually lose.
Games Workshop regulars seem to have an infinite supply of all three.

MtG is pretty much the same. Generally at any Friday Night Magic or something, there are two types of people: people who construct and playtest the decks they want, and people who make decks out of the cards they have.

I really hated the people who would power game POKEMON. I played vs one guy who would spend his time while at work looking up strats and tips for killer decks and then try them out on childern and others
I really hate the jerks and douchebags in 40k or the teenage know it all childern I play it for FUN not because I want to dominate everything

I don't understand how miniatures exist in the same universe as easily available computing power to be perfectly honest

Even if you don't have great cards you can still do okay if you play the meta game. Admittedly I played back in the 90s before you could just search the internets for the most effective setups, but if you know what the good players in your area like to run you can sometimes do a number on them with a counter strategy.

also i mean you can just write the card as a proxy on a land card
if people don't want to play you because of that then you win anyway

I think it must be that it combines getting to play with something you yourself created with not being locked into one mode of play by the computer
also when you're done playing you can set them up around your desk to guard your computer

I've always been pretty successful building trading card game decks. I don't research or spend days configuring, but I've got a solid knack for it.
That being said, I've never played "professionally" or "professional" players, but I've always been able to beat most people I know on a regular basis.
Is it just me or is the Twitter Feed link broken for anyone else?
On-topic: I'm not quite sure who lost, whether Gabe spent all his money on crazy units or he just sucks at the game in general. I think it's the latter.

Warmachine and Warhammer are one of those things that I theoretically enjoy.
In like, a world where I don't need to do anything ever and have all the money.
Yeah, and even then, I want to say something like 'Well I'd probably enjoy watching it then!' but no, watching is probably incredibly boring
Assuming the players are familiar with the rules(and thus don't spend hours looking shit up in the book), it can be interesting. It's still more fun to play the actual game.
You can actually pick up a starter set for the game for ~$38 online. There's one for each faction, they include 3-5 models (one leader and several warjacks), and the starter rulebook. All you need is three 6 sided dice and some super glue.
when the 3050 manual and clan omnimechs came of for Battletech, me & a couple of friends took a full company of 3025 era Inner Sphere against two stars of clan.
We lost, but it took 11 hours to beat us. That was own little victory. Making them hunt us all over the map until they began gnashing their teeth and pulling their hair

I read it as the other guy took it too seriously and had crazy units (because he is someone willing to play Warhammer with a stranger at his house) and he was embarrassed by Gabe's puny army.
When Warhammer Online was about to come out I tried to get into warhammer but just couldn't. The painting takes so long, the pacing of the game is awful, and the people in the local stores just completely turned me off to the whole thing. I spent a couple hundred dollars and it kept my interest for all of a couple hours. I was pretty pissed at myself.

That's only 12 'mechs versus 10. Considering that I'd say lasting 11 hours was indeed an accomplishment.
Once we upgraded to the newer 3050 Inner Spere recovered tech, and I picked up all of the special rules and started playing by the tactical handbook I never lost to clanners again
put half my force into off-map artillery, aerospace fighters, fast hovercraft and then use my mech force more as bait than anything

reminds me of
I spent so much time painting my Tyranids and play them against my brother's Space Marines
but one time we went to the Games Workshop "Battle Bunker" and boy were our faces red

I haven't watched it, but I cannot believe that video only lasts 10 minutes

Like, planning out every single level, feat, prestige class, magic item, at what level he aquired it, etc.
When he tried to play those dudes I would kill them and he would get so mad.
