To the idiot American, concussions are an invention of pussies. They beleive it's called "getting your bell rung" and should be ignored.

You know, fair enough. If the apature is small enough, even a little pressure can shoot water pretty far. I would like to point out that the hand held rockets didn't, you know, explode the way the garden hose ones did, which would make the OP's comment moot.

Yeah! Preach on brother! Kids should expect some goddamn asbestos in their fingerprint powder! Wussies...

I'm not sure you understnad the difference between the amount of pressure genereated by hand pump and the amount of pressure generated by a garden hose. Try washing your car with hand pumped water and you'll grasp the concept.

While I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment, I can't fault the owners for selling the station and retiring.

I saw them demoed at GenCon and can tell you that the 3" capitol ships and tiny squads of tie-fighters appear to use less plastic than the handsome X-Wing models. But phrase it however you like, bottom line is FFG is offering nowhere near $60 MORE value than the X-Wing core set and many of folks that I saw at GenCon…

I specifically asked the Upper Deck folks if they were planning on supporting Vs. to Hobby and Game Shops and they said that if they sold out at GenCon, they would be moving foward with Vs. Unfortunately, scuttlebutt is also that they used the term "Living Card Game" without permission from Fantasy Flight Games…

The official numbers were 56000+ unique registrations with 186000+ through the turnstiles. GenCon is in negotiations to use Lucas Oil Stadium next year for some events and parking.

Beers that are markedly inferior to Pabst Blue Ribbon

Wow, you were running in third place next to this guy when he was struck by lightning? What place did you finish?

I can't help but notice that no one in the article says the guy got hit by lightning, much less got struck in the head.

I don't think the outrage was over the tornado warning as much as it was outrage over needing 6 fucking minutes to say "be careful, there could a tornado in your area."

I don't mean that in a bad way ...

I can see why.

I agree with the Gor books.

Rovell: Yes! They smell just like 1-800-Flowers long-stem specials!

Aaand freeze-frame. You see, right here is where the credibility evaporates, folks. If you're going to bitch about people trying to preach soccer to the non-believers, that's fine. But if you're bitching about it and then, doing the same damn thing with rugby ... whelp, that's what we call a credibility problem.

I would SO wear any of these ...

We had a player in one campaign who loved the Wand of Wonder and would use it at the beginning of every combat. The other players hated it.

There is zero chance of a non-douchey future for that kid.
