And actually, they must've been surprisingly fast given how slow I was sending that letter back.
The one time I got jury duty I got excused so easily. Just a simple "I don't live in that state anymore" and it was all good. No verification or anything, they just went with it.
And I don't know how I feel about whatever specific definition of steampunk you're using. Steampunk isn't even like Cyberpunk where it has clear definitive works that you can point to that started the whole thing. It is pretty much meaningless outside of it being a vague collection of elements.
This is why I try to ignore the entire steampunk category-of-things inasmuch as possible. It's grouping a bunch of wildly different things together by a vague and often misapplied aesthetic. I may as well organize my movie shelves by which ones have the color brown in them.
My friend with a million DVDs does organize his by color. He knows where they all are.
We did it to him as a prank once, but he liked it and since moving has always reordered them by hue. He has a LOT of dvds.

If you buy sensible cards, though, you can usually get a fairly good return on your investment.
This is not true. If you have valuable cards you have a dilemma. Do you
1) Sell them when they're in T2 and make Texa$
or
2) Use the, in a deck until they rotate out and become pretty worthless.
Neither option is ideal. If you go with the first one, you're not going to be able to build any deck you want. If you go with the second, you will be fucking broke.
so i was at my japanese classes preparing for JET when a girl came up to me with her bosoms showing and two of her sexy friends, saying that they liked my cosplay. i was impressed because it's not a mainstream anime and it deals with a lot of themes, so i invited them airsofting with me. unfortunately they have boyfriends but i still had a fourway, too bad one isnt my girlfriend

Any format is going to cost a decent amount of cash. T2? Gotta update your deck every set and I can guarantee there will be at least 4 $20 cards you need to buy. Booster draft you have to be really good to have that pay for itself.
Yeah, you have to be in the top 5% of all magic players to make more money than you pour into it, and even those guys probably have a net loss if you average it over their lifetime.
Honestly, what I really wish was that there was a competitor to MTG for real competitive card gaming to make them lower their absurdly extravagant prices. Sadly there's no card game in the same vein (discounting much less complex children-branded games) that comes close to approaching it.

Winky, the magic pros now are celebrities who write articles and are paid to appear places.
I will throw down the gauntlet that I know more about this stupid game than other people here.

Yeah, I quizzed him once on where all of his individual seasons of the West Wing were and it was scary.

You wouldn't buy a booster at regular price which was like 3.99 last I checked. We run drafts for $12 and there are prizes. That's $4 a pack without accounting for the prizes.
Boxes are... uh, maybe $100-120. My roommate buys them, I don't.

At least with miniatures I can fool myself into believing the casting process and materials are rather expensive
When it comes to cardboard with pretty pictures and text though I can't really build up that illusion in my mind

a modded nerf gun he had painted in black and camo
i think i'd tell him to go home
go home, hardcore
casuals only

I use my modded Nerf gun to shoot at co-workers in the office. I modded it because it was fun.
It's still a nerf gun.
pony-sama onii chan did you notice that i specialized my weapon after the mecha from butz maru fighter squad go!
i feel like it really encapsulates the spirit of nerf
uguuuuuuuuu~

so i was into warhammer
i was also into drugs
one day i looked at how much i had spent on those two things in the past month
one of them was $70
the other was $300
so clearly one of those two things was a problem that i needed to cut down on in my life
can you guess which one
Dammit you go to sleep thinking you are a pro wrestler and when those nightmares come you give them all chairshots.

From 10 feet away you would still miss a silly number of times.
The arrows were so horribly dented and bent that it was amazing they traveled any distance at all.
Like shooting bananas.

i learned it from watching uguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
depends on why
if you're modding it to give yourself a competitive advantage in silly nerf games with your friends
that's unacceptable
if you are modding it so when you sneak up on your buddy at work and shoot him in the face, it stings a bit?
okay carry on
derek holland is amazing
I'm guessing the "problem" was Warhammer?
Miniatures games have the opposite problem of MTG. High start-up cost, low long-term cost.
It's just fun to do. Why paint pictures or go fly fishing? That is why some of my friends mod nerf guns. They share the modded guns out when we play.
I can spend a couple dollars and have a book to read.
When the two armies I wanted to play cost me well over $500 a piece? I'm ok with calling that expensive.
best feature of the new forums, hands-down
quote trees are a close second
It was very pleasant. Sitting around making New Orleans style beignets, telling stories. Did a little hiking.

?
Yeah, I quizzed him once on where all of his individual seasons of the West Wing were and it was scary.
I want to get to know that nerf gun.
Biblically.
That said, the 3D was FUCKING AWFUL. I swear it looked less blurry without the glasses on and almost nothing benefitted from the 3D.
What if I am dissatisfied with the rate of fire and want to empty the clip in 5 seconds?
Yeah, I mean booster packs run what? 5 bucks a pop now?
