Well they did find someone who could measure up to David Tennant's performance….

It's not that crazy. You're playing with stuff worth a fair amount of money, and that's a fairly cheap way to protect it. I always double-sleeve.

It's hard to say which is more expensive these days. For instance, you don't need power in Legacy, but you do generally need more and a wider variety of dual lands. You also aren't really going to find Vintage decks running cards like Karakas or Moat or (God help you) Candelabra of Tawnos, but you will see some…

There was a bit of a Vintage boom a few years after you started which raised prices. It's also the case that during the sluggish US economy of the latter Bush years (a name I am invoking here solely for temporal purposes), the weaker dollar led to a lot of power being purchased by Europeans, which further drove US…

I could get into a long essay on the resource restriction caused by the one-land-per-turn rule, but suffice to say being able to play a 4-mana spell on turn 1 when your opponent is stuck with 1-mana spells gives you a huge advantage.

Well, bear in mind this is for an Alpha Lotus that's been graded about as high as possible. An ungraded Unlimited Lotus is probably going to run you more in the range of $1200, and probably more if you look for particularly good condition or buy from a dealer instead of off of eBay.

A couple things about this.

It's frustrating that Korra has moved to Friday nights because I actually have stuff to do then.  Without a DVR, I'm going to have to hope they put it up to stream somewhere.

Yeah, I'll be staying with Vertigo stuff as well. It's strange to me how Vertigo can be so great while the main imprint is such a mess.

The Batwoman news was the final straw for me, and I'm going to be winding down my DC purchases as storylines end.  If DC can't respect their creators and their characters, I can't justify being emotionally or monetarily invested in them.

Absolutely everything about that clip screams Terry Gilliam, but I specifically wanted to note the ridiculous tiny cars.  He had those in Brazil too.

There's no way a beige Volvo can fail to elicit despair.

Is this really up to me?

He's not so much "controversial" as "fucking terrible."  It's not that he can't draw, it's that he chooses not to, preferring to lightbox.  It really doesn't help that one of his primary sources for his traces is pornography.  The result is you end up with a lot of porn face, a lot of same face, a lot of…

Agreed. You haven't finished reading Montoya's story if you haven't read 52.

I remember seeing some video of Moroder talking about getting back into the game and hypothesizing artists he'd like to work with shortly after Random Access Memories came out.  I remember thinking it was cool that he was re-energized and wanting to create again, but I was concerned that he might be overestimating the…

Just a reminder that Hawkeye is still being published.

What does Helen Hunt have to do to get a nomination for Best Shirtless Performance?

Trent's job isn't to make a poster. His job is to play with the gradient color sliding wheel.

I've been a fan of the Offspring for about 15 years.
