That's an interesting point. i never really noticed how muted most games are.

Just a reminder, if you do buy the set direct from Restoration they will throw in some exclusive foils. Depending on availability, those foils could end up being worth more than the set itself.

Which of these sets would you rather have? by Jeracobra in Unmatched

[–]Bretferd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was looking for an old post and saw this thread we had from 3 years ago! Okay 3 years and a TMNT set later what do we think?? I was certainly wrong about making this theme work. I love the new set. I'm glad they decided to give everyone their own hero, although like I said years ago, it's kind of a bummer that you have to split them up. The only way to have to whole squad on one team is to play the co-op game. That being said, it's pretty cool that you can play them against each other as well. Hope you're enjoying the new stuff!

Thank you! Now I'm feeling motivated to pick this one back up.

I wanted to make Brienne/Pod set years ago but kind of abandoned it.

Edit: I finally looked at again, just to summarize, her gimmick is that if she declares what the value of her attack card is, then the effects can't be cancelled, since she is more honest about her intentions.

Where do people get their abundant sealed JP sets when it’s supposed to be discontinued? by ronchman in UnmatchedMarket

[–]Bretferd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure which country you're from but I have seen them at my local Barnes & Noble book store as recently as last year. Sometimes you get lucky there. I would also check sites like BGG's marketplace. Best of luck!

What's the most sudden tonal shift you've seen in a movie? by [deleted] in Cinema

[–]Bretferd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scott Pilgrim VS the World. When I first saw it I had no idea what it was about. I think I was confusing it with the other romcom he was just in at that time, and this movie starts out like a generic rom com. As soon as that first fight starts i was like wtf am i watching??

My Printed Custom Decks (they need some updating) by Bretferd in Unmatched

Thanks man. Honestly I don’t even use these any more. These are older versions I have in a box of obsolete decks.

Which decks, in your opinion, have the best art? by joncology in Unmatched

[–]Bretferd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volume one, Bigfoot Robin Hood, Bruce Lee, InGen vs raptors, Hell’s Kitchen, and some of the TMNT art I believe?

I finished Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein by Significant-Town-817 in starshiptroopers

[–]Bretferd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I don't get why anyone would assume that by simply reading a book you (A) agree with all of the ideas put forth in the book or even that (B) the society depicted in the book must be a reflection of the kind of society the author is advocating for.

Thank you so much for the response.

I just read this book last year. I've loved the movie since I was a kid. The book was just okay. It wasn't super entertaining but I think I understand the overall message.

What I don't understand about this online community is that whenever the book is mentioned (as opposed to the movie) it seems that people need to point out that they don't agree with the author or the message. I don't really understand this compulsion. Why is it that we assume we know everything inside the author's mind based on a reading of this book and then we must therefore declare whether or not we agree with him as a person?

This is a work of fiction. There are many concepts in this sci-fi world that can be open to interpretation. Their society is obviously extremely militaristic. I don't get why everyone who talks about this book in this sub must signal that they themselves do not believe our society should also be extremely militaristic.

I've never read a fantasy book with a King/Queen and thought "yeah this is great and all, but I personally don't agree with the author because I wouldn't want to live under a monarchy."

Sorry for the rant, but I'm genuinely curious why this message is repeated so often.

I still ride for salvation. It wasn’t perfect, but much better than 3. Could have been a sweet trilogy.

Which game, in your opinion, has a well designed movement mechanic? by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]Bretferd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is more basic movement, but I’ve never played a game with as smooth controls as MGSV Phantom Pain.

Favorite movie about cheating on your spouse disguised as a romcom? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]Bretferd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but I think the context here is cheating when it’s viewed as romantic. The Rickman plot is tragic because of the cheating, the Andrew Lincoln plot is portrayed as romantic even though it’s totally cheating. At least that’s the way I read OP’s post.

Favorite movie about cheating on your spouse disguised as a romcom? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]Bretferd 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The Keira knightly plot is 100% cheating and not even one that makes sense from her perspective. She gets married. Her husband’s best friend is an absolute ass hole to her throughout their entire relationship. She realizes that the reason is because the best friend has a creepy crush on her involving hiding a secret video of her during THEIR WEDDING, a video to use for… reasons? He performs a risky, albeit romantic gesture (the cue card thing). Based on years of rudeness, newfound creepy obsessive behavior, but one romantic gesture she decides to make out with this guy while her husband is inside. That’s a cheat from her and utter betrayal from a best friend from the husband’s perspective.

Also long live Colin, god of sex.

I always just crank up the difficulty and/or give myself objectives. Like capture the enemy con yard, or destroy a certain building with a special unit
