    Actually, happy, games do cost weird cents. They just hide it behind powercards at all modern arcades. You put points on a card (say 10 points per $2) and games cost 6.8 or 9.7 or whatever points. It is definitely by decimals. Not flat points.

    Dave & Busters and Main Event are that way.

    See I even thought of that while I was trying to fall back asleep

    why were they even using coins cards would at least kinda make sense

    "legitimate rape" has some obvious appeal to people who believe in a karmically just world, which is generally thought to be a universal instinct

    Make as big a controversy over it as possible, so liberals get very angry. If Chick-fil-a is any indication, it'll fly off the shelves when indignant conservatives try to defend American values, and you'll make bank.

    Oh man, I tried that Coconut Water stuff recently because I love coconut.

    Apparently the flesh of the coconut is where they keep all the nice flavor because the water tastes like fucking snot.

    the sucky part is that

    1) the teacher is actually really smart and personable, and makes great discussion (and on the occasion when someone ventures a dumb or facile opinion he is gracious and walks them to an interesting position)
    and
    2) i don't know a lot at all about colonial influences in the 16th and 17th century- i know a good bit about the wars but not the global economic factors and other stuff the class is focusing on right now

    so if more people got involved (leading to more broad discussion) i could probably learn even more, personally.

    but everyone else is intimidated by the professor i guess, or completely uninterested.

    i dunno.

    it's not a 101 course, so either they're history majors (which kind of makes me think- well, why the hell are they so apathetic, they majored in this and took some earlier courses in the sequence) or they, like me, chose this as an elective. why!? it's clearly marked writing intensive.

    it's frustrating, whatever the explanation.

    What's looking so interesting about Gatecrash? I had a brief look through the cig a couple of days ago in preparation for prerelease, but nothing strikes as supercool except maybe Bloodrush and Cipher.

    @Bethryn

    I think each of the guilds is well-balanced, and I think each guild has multiple archetypes it can draft. I think limited will have a pretty varied field.

    And it's hard to predict what Standard will look like in a month. Standard is already wide open with an unprecedented variety of viable strategies, and this set just adds to the variety.

    And the flavor is fan-fucking-tastic. They're pushing the "big city" theme really hard:

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    I agree. Boros can do Boros Elite -> Daring Skyjek -> Skyknight Legionnaire and attack with a 3/3, flying 3/1, and flying 2/2 on T3.

    Simic can do Experiment One -> Shambleshark -> Drakewing Krasis and attack with a 3/3, 3/2, on T3 and flying 3/1 on T4. (Edited to fix this.)

    You have a lot of opportunities to be aggressive with this set and I think that's going to keep Orzhov in check.
