Probably a lot of research to do. Newegg has really good instructional videos, so that's a good place to start. As for the above, mobo = motherboard. Wasn't sure how much of the lingo you were up on.

I have yet to own and/or play a planeswalker so that's exciting! My physical collection is basically tempest block + urza block + 100% complete weatherlight + a smattering of 7/8/10th edition + a bunch of onslaught + a lot of the good rares from judgement. There's a bunch of unlimited in there too, including an…

I will be apartment hunting since I'm on a bit of a tight timeline for the new job, but I do hope to play some rocket league. Such a ridiculous and fun game. I think I got my ground game working pretty well, but I'm a MISERABLE goalie and I'm no good at the flying meta (yet). I played against one guy that absolutely…

Interesting. I will need to check out this Magic format. I just need them to release a commander format (which will never, ever happen but I can dream, right?)

100 is also fine, but yeah, don't neglect that stat. You WILL regret it.

For the PC: It's not too bad. Basically trawl around on newegg and look for deals. I, personally, like to have a really nice, big case so I have plenty of room to work and cooling isn't a problem. The bigger the fans in the case, the quieter and cooler it will be (200mm fans are the bee's knees). Water cooling is also…

It's surprisingly big in western/upstate NY as well.

Love Letters is really good for casual, sitting around outdoors play. A great summer game in my mind.

I can live like a king! Damn hell ass king!

1: nice Joltik avatar
2: For whatever reason, nobody wants to be considered upstate. Personally, I would start considering things upstate wrt NYC around Goshen (meaning you had to go up across the state to get there), but if we take upstate to literally mean the top of the state, then you're talking like…

I'm pretty sure the general rule is, "Did you go north? Must be upstate". But, to be fair, that's a non-trivial walk.

This is something that I really think D2 nailed and every other game with any kind of loot table should think about. It's really just not interesting to have to choose between the +1 sword or the +2 sword. The Witcher 2 was really bad about this in that every item you got was very clearly better or worse than the…

Ah, I went to Geneseo, you see, so I know Rochester better than I know Buffalo. Just Rochester had basically no jobs for me and Buffalo did. And, as to the extent that NYC folk have ANY idea of the world outside NYC, I lived in Sleepy Hollow for a year or so and was still considered "upstate". Now I will get to join…

This weekend I'll be playing whatever the heck I want because I just accepted the offer from the job I've been driving all over the place for! It's in Buffalo so about 350 miles away, which mean future me is going to need to do a lot of planning and stuff. But current me don't care and will be playing games all…

I like the spots in Demon's Souls where you can just put on the ring that makes you less noticeable and snipe down Flamelurker and the Old Hero.

This makes me sad.

Big Wave is the Kona one right? A kinda sweet golden ale? And 7 for the Lagunitas seems about right. Really can't go wrong with either of those, though.

I read that part as "It would be really cool to have Dinah (spelling? it's all phonetic because of audio-books) make a symbolic big bang with plastic explosives to kick off the era of seven eves. How am I going to make that happen?"

Yeah, that was the other thing that I found myself wanting. He was so meticulous about every detail about GETTING to Cleft, and then just did some hand-waving and back filling to say it all worked out in the end. Even if it was just, like, a short skip to 1st generation coming of age, then a larger skip to the bio…

Here I am! I'm about 4 discs from the end now, which (potential spoilers for people who might read it)
