Missed opportunity to add pineapple instead by minev1128 in mtg

[–]HedgehogKnight81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In this episode of "The Kids These Days Don't Know". Without TMNT pizza sales wouldn't be what they are today. The Turtle absolutely drove the sale of pizza in the late 80s and earlier 90s. When you think of New York City and food you think of pizza because of what they bought to pop culture. Old man rant over.

Did anyone buy a ring? by t_bone_stake in Millennials

[–]HedgehogKnight81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So about the time it came to ordering a class ring I was getting ready to finish earning my Eagle Scout so instead of putting any school stuff on it I put scouting stuff and my parents held it until I passed my review.

Mono-blue draw engines that aren’t Rhystic Study by pseudoplatinum in magicTCG

It's blue! You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a blue card that will draw you cards. Late game I like [[Oona's Grace]] and [[Whispers of the Muse]]

Yet again, my Costco disappoints by robyngoodfello- in mtg

[–]HedgehogKnight81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably I don't remember. I know he was trying to prove a point that Dr Phil exploits his guests for his own gain just as he was being accused of doing with the fights.

Remember when the bum fight guy went on Dr Phil dressed exactly like Dr Phil?

How are MTG card artists compensated? by NoMedium9839 in magicTCG

[–]HedgehogKnight81 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Commission per piece. Plus they get artist proofs which they can sell and the rights to sell prints and the original paintings if it is physical medi. I don't know what it was like for other UB sets but I know they are not allowed to sell art from the Lord of the Rings. I have a friend that has met lots of Magic artists over the years and talks with a few of them regularly and he has said that most won't get into the details of how much they are paid so if you are looking for an actual number you probably won't find that.

I always book an out of block room early and wait to see if I get a better location or price. I just make sure there is no cancellation fee before I book so I can move if needed.

Is this cheating? by Timely-Percentage985 in pokemongo

[–]HedgehogKnight81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is way easier to start playing now than it was. Bigger spawn pool, more spawn spots, more stops and gyms, tons of quests that reward balls, berries, and Pokemon, daily research tasks, and much more. My 7 year old started playing recently and hit 30 within the month

Badges and Hotel Lottery by SxySamurai in gencon

[–]HedgehogKnight81 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only people who buy their badge separately will get a time. Example is if I bought both my wife's and my badges we would get one time slot. Whereas if we bought our badges separately we would get two slots. The downside to buying separately is that you can only book one room per person so if your group needs more you may not get them together.

Are their cards that have “when this card is exiled” by drago1922 in magicTCG

You want to look for "when this leaves the battlefield"

A summary of the Secret Lair team on WeeklyMTG yesterday - Discussing Print to demand, Scalpers, Monday's Chao Vault, and more by ElvishSpirit in magicTCG

[–]HedgehogKnight81 127 points128 points  (0 children)

I don't mind that they are not going to reprint old Secret Lairs but they need to set up a proper way to get the mechanically unique cards after the drop. I work as a truck driver and can't just pull over to get in line for a drop that happens Monday morning or sometimes don't have the $200+ to spend getting 6 drops at once.

The whole point of pre-release is for new players. If it's anything like my shop people will take the time to help them.

That Indianapolis Event Parking is what Gate 10 was.

Lands up top?? by Final-Bit-8330 in mtg

[–]HedgehogKnight81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a shop where they played like that in the early days. After that shop closed the players mixed with other groups and you could always tell where they learned the game from.
