  1. As mentioned, I was traveling for work. I am back now and have accepted my ticket. Let the pain begin!
  2. Not a problem. Just making sure I didn't miss something and leave people waiting for me. I am traveling for work next week so I won't be able to check things then.
  3. Tickets have not gone out have they?
  4. I think (hope) it is new rosters. If it is a continuation of old teams I probably need to change teams to survive the first matches where I will meet skills and have none of my own.
  5. Just a heads up... I am travelling for work the week of 8/2 and the week of 8/30. I will be totally offline those two weeks and will respond when I get back in case things pick up specifically in those weeks.

  7. I want to participate this season but I want to confirm a couple of things first... This will be entirely through BB2 online (since I am three time zones away). I am going to be travelling a bit over the next two months and will not have my gaming computer with me when I go. Two of these should be week-long (including weekends) but one is potentially two weeks long... Will that be a problem?
  8. Ah, the memory of good times when my money didn't straight into the CGL [big bad swear word]ter (remodel) and jousting lessons. Kinda NSFW based on subject matter (enough to get it an R rating in 1989)
  9. This one is my girl who is a newfoundland (very small, weighing in at right about 100 lbs). I'll see if I can get a picture of her brothers that does not violate size limits.
  10. Been a while since I watched that one but I can see that interpretation... As I recall it got a lot darker between Butcher's storyline and the new Super that shows up (trying to avoid spoilers). I didn't get to the point of pulling the ripcord but I did find it a bit more of a slog (although I agree it was probably better written).
  11. And see, this is the same problem I have with JL in a nutshell. Batman *can* fight and kill Superman. Why the heck can he *not* fight Steppenwolf? Aside from GRR Martin, *nobody* writes stuff where the outcome is indeterminate (and George's writing is so bad that the only logic to when characters die is "I was bored of him" so that's not an improvement). I mean, let's get serious... DCU is the one we were talking about 6 months ago with Wonder Woman '84. Did you have any questions about the outcome there? Was there something I missed where Maxwell Lord wished to be invincible and able to take punches from an Amazon? Don't get me wrong... I'm not denying what you are saying about the MCU... I'm just saying DC is not doing it better. I will *totally* buy the argument that this felt ZSJL offered you something different and unexpected. It didn't do that for me but that has more to do with my expectations than the movie itself.
  12. Are you on a shared server? If so then go steal them from one of the people ahead of you (since they cleaned out the Delves you need). If you're alone on your server (e.g. on your private desktop) then you just need to hit more delves. If there aren't many in the forest biome you are in then move to the next one, at least to explore.
  13. So many movies... Live and Let Die, Alien, Brubaker, The Running Man, Midnight Run, so many others... Amazing actor.
  14. How to overwhelm with information... First, let's admit that there are loads of switches and things that can be manipulated in Wargame and you are probably not starting with "Let's build a custom force deck" as the first one when you begin thinking about how to play. That said, the following examination of a custom force deck tells you *so* much about what is going on under the covers that I think it makes for a *wonderful* introduction to the details of play. Note where the conversation talks about the rock/paper/scissors play of infantry, armor and air and how lightly armored vehicles (including armored helicopters) can be used. Also note the places he discusses micro-management and where it can benefit units. This should help you get a feel for things to look at in your own OoB (even default ones) to get a plan for your approach to a match.
  15. Yeeeaaaahhhh, except you can't get me into the current league, @Burk, so I have to muddle along in my half-state in purgatory for now.
  16. Oh God, my eyes! Giving this away for free has really hurt chat. More mutes in 10 minutes than in the last 4 years.
  17. I should mention that I also just requested additional (non-BB) voice channels on the Ordo discord for this kind of thing as well.
  18. I would also be interested in getting in some Co-op Wargame. I didn't enjoy it as much PvP or solo vs. the computer because I was still learning when I quit playing with @Justjokin before.
  19. I thought that I saw you join the Discord just after I sent the invite so I figured you had resolved your issues, @Justjokin. Sorry I didn't follow up earlier.
  20. Fear the fish-folk. I hear they just say what you want to hear to lure the brood of Kroak into the sea and eat them.
  21. Found Weav's thread with the perma-invite in the Blood Bowl thread here so I am in now.
  22. Not sure if there is a better place for this topic so I guess here... Is the Discord link above validating that my e-mail here and in Discord are the same? And if they are not, what do I do? I am trying to join but once I get into Discord I seem to be unable to join and I am looking at a ghosted server where I cannot see any of the channels.
  23. My guess would be a short. What you have described is something you can see if you over-tax power on the motherboard. An older mobo supporting a higher end videocard on a slot that can just barely handle the power draw can and will eventually start shorting across the pins. This results in a clean reboot when it shorts. More strain on the card results in more power draw and kicks the short causing a reboot. Without identifying where the short really is this one can be hard to fix. That's just one of many options, of course... It's just the one that always bites me when I have upgraded a graphics card on a machine.
  24. Just finished Tenet (for probably the first time of many). I'm not normally much of a fan of Pattinson but all the leads in this did very well (in particular Branagh). I thoroughly enjoyed Inception although I did after multiple viewings have problems with the "layers within layers" concept at some points. Like Inception, Tenet is thoughtful sci-fi and on the first watch I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's possible that later I may pick up something that I see as a flaw but after the initial watch it hangs together well and does some very interesting things both cinematically (much like Inception did allowing Ariadne to play within the dream) and in terms of writing and plotting. In the end, definitely a film worth multiple viewings.
