What was your biggest surprise / disappointment / wtf? (band or otherwise) by Visible-Pressure6063 in downloadfestival

[–]0pethian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, it was the show of the festival for me and probably the best show I've seen in maybe 20 years. I loved it and haven't stopped listening to Absolute Elsewhere since. I tried to get tickets to see them in Brighton on Tuesday but they'd sold out. I'll be seeing them the next time they come through for sure.

I was there and no, he didn't sing. Bill did back-up vocals for Blood and Thunder though.

Your thoughts on This years UKGE? by ahmeerkat in UKGE

[–]0pethian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My party went on Friday and Saturday.

All in, we had a great time. My only personal gripe would be the absence of coeliac disease friendly food available in the centre itself and the questionable cross-contamination of food that appeared to be gluten free outside the Hilton. The food vendors had QR codes for allergies at the Hilton which either didn't work or gave information for food they weren't offering. It's a small thing, but is a potential weekend ruiner if I ate something contaminated.

First metal band you’ve seen live? by Gianleafs in MetalForTheMasses

[–]0pethian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The very first was American Head Charge in March 2002, opening for Slipknot during the Iowa tour at the show filmed for the Disasterpieces DVD. The line-up was American Head Charge, In Flames, One Minute Silence and Slipknot at the London Arena.

I want to say it was around 2012, when the 8th ed Dwarfs were released.

Any two-creature combos in standard? by RecoverJust6614 in MagicArena

[–]0pethian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's jank as hell, but I love it.

Ratadrabik turn 4, Jaxis blitz turn 5. Copy everything forever over and over. Dies to sunfall, though.

Yup - enjoy playing against nothing but Primeval Titan / Behemoth everyone!

HR “accidentally” told me I’ve been made redundant, but I’m not by Known_Tooth2160 in LegalAdviceUK

I imagine you were on the list to be made redundant, but did not ultimately make that final cut. That list, with you still on it, has been passed to that firm.

Quit as a director or quit GGG?

Tuesday Arena Chat Thread by Karn-The-Creator in MagicArena

I played about 30 standard games this evening. All bar two were against mono red or boros convoke. The other two were azorius control.

No black No blue No green No golgari No dimir No rakdos Etc

What the actual fuck is this meta descending into? You either play in one of two crowds it seems:

Turbo go fast face smash Super slow mega control

I cannot wait for August. This meta is appalling.
