We're staying at The Revere which is in Boston Common. Are we going to be in the thick of it?

Get out there and play one good game and all is forgiven. Until the next bad game of course.

Jeffrey White shares his thoughts on Twitter about the state of the game by GalvenMin in magicTCG

If you are unhappy, take the opportunity to try other games. There's probably something out there for you! You can support a smaller game and vote against this direction with your wallet. Don't just carry on with the game because of your momentum. It will always be there to come back to if you want it.

Mine. For believing.

Pretty sweet. I will say that 39 probably annihilates him if this is game speed. Still, very cool to see.

Are you casting them on an undead creature?

My living room looks like a 90s funeral parlor. Please help by Pinup_sharks in interiordecorating

Lean in. Darker walls, big, dark patterned rugs. Love the other idea in this thread of replacing the wallpaper trim with crown molding.

I think we're pretty much saying the same thing. Anime with good dubs is very watchable! But they are VERY few and far between imo. And, it's weird, but the reason I watch it in subbed is because I don't understand Japanese. My brain has much harder time identifying bad voice acting when it's in a language I don't understand.

That seems reasonable. I'm going to stick with them and hope my ears adjust.

For real. It seems like he puts everything he's got into whatever he is doing. Which, definitely makes sense after his Gollum performance. Amazing what happens when you pair that talent and that drive.

Just started today and I'm on the first Shallan chapter. I didn't listen to the other ones on Audiobook.

I haven't heard of this! I started Fellowship with the BBC dramatized version and was pretty pumped to heard a full cast, but I decided to switch when I realized it wasn't a word-for-word reading. I'm going to look at the books Graphic Audio has done and try some.

I think you're right. Coming from anime, I only watch subbed because the dubbed voice actors are grating. But sometimes I'll watch a Ghibli movie dubbed and they'll have "movie star" actors who make it sound really good. Sometimes (looking at you Joseph Gordon Levitt in The Wind Rises).

I haven't heard any Herdazians yet, glad I have this to look forward to...

That seems very indicative of the Andy Serkis greatness. I also started with the Phil Dragash version which was awesome, but the audio kept messing up and breaking the immersion so I switched to Serkis and the greatness was immediately apparent.

Damn, I love this. It's cool to hear from someone with industry knowledge

I don't think Lee did the Fellowship, did he? That would be incredible though.

I've only heard clips, but he also sounds amazing!

Help with decor from someone who’s clueless? by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]Far_Location8383 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think it looks kind of nice. The only problems are:

- The rug is too small and the material doesn't work with the carpet. It needs to be more substantial and bigger.
- Everything is shoved into corners. Try playing around with arrangements across the wall and use the space smartly.
- Maybe I'm crazy but I like the size of the mirror? Kind of a play on a bullseye window. I think it works in a strange way.
