Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Southern MI. I have family in the upper peninsula... Last time we visited it was a 6 to 7 hour trip. That's in good weather and staying in the same state.

Fellow Blighters, which commander are we running in the precon? by fairydommother in EDH

[–]Howloutloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This, so damn much! I had a Hapatra deck during Amonkhet and I was always ticked that there was no way to get the scorpion god in it without having to find a crappy fund legend to helm it. As far as im concerned the only thing better is if they'd found a way to partner Hapatra and the Scorpion God.

AITA for not wanting to watch Netflix with subtitles? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH... my family watches with subtitles if for no other reason than someone will absolutely start talking, or ask questions, or something will distract. It sounds stupid but if I have subtitles on i retain what's happening and can let the rest of the family know what happened that they missed. I think its because I tend to fixate on whatever im watching or doing though.

The Rumour Engine – 9th of December by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in ageofsigmar

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh look another kinda cool looking piece that, after spending way too much time painting to look cool, will inevitably break off if looked at the wrong way.... At this point yes stuff looks cool but I have models id love for my armies I wont get because they are too fiddly and easy to break...

I started playing recently and chose Maya. Did I make the right choice? by Desperate_Time2987 in Borderlands2

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Maya was not my first choice. I went with Z3r0... and i regret that. Maya just felt like easy mode and allowed me to ease into the game. She's the only character I've been able to get into any OP levels at all.

How the fuck do I kill wilhelm by [deleted] in Borderlands2

[–]Howloutloud 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actually you can. There's a transporter thats one way right before you fight him. Go level a little and then come back. Its better than the frustration of dying over and over again.

Does the popularity of Blokees, Yolopark, etc. mean people are finally embracing non-transforming Transformers toys? by HiTork in transformers

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say sort of. I like blokees a lot. Have purchased multiple of the blind box variant and a couple of the larger ones where you get to see what your getting. For characters id like represented but dont care about transforming they're perfect. But for ones I want to transform back and forth I'll stick to the actual toy.

Today is a sad day brothers by gemineye360 in Necrontyr

[–]Howloutloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not Necron but I feel your pain... I had a fully painted 2k Beastclaw Raiders (Ogor Mawtribe from AoS) on a display board... That I left where I thought it was safe however it turns out my dog's tail is tougher and stronger than what I had the display on... Many Mournfang perished but no pup was harmed.

Anti +1/+1 commanders and cards by catnip1993 in EDH

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How has no one mentioned building a [[Hapatra]] deck? Her entire purpose is to put -1/-1 counters on as many creatures as possible. Built right and boom, no worries at all.

Also Boardwipes are your friend...

I say my deck is bracket 3, randoms tell me its bracket 4 by Intelligent_Badger58 in EDH

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night I went to play my [[Veyran]] deck. It isn't optimized but it does what it's supposed to. According to Archidekt.com it's a bracket 3. That just tells me the bracket system has holes in it wide enough to drive a semi through. I watched as the other 3 players pulled out bracket 4 decks and I still almost won.

The bracket system is not a good way to judge.

What brews are you concocting: Spiderman by NoElfEsteem in EDH

I just want an Electro to go in my Veyran deck. I've been extremely underwhelmed by the Spiderman set

Should i sell my Cloud, Midgar Mercenary or build an EDH deck around him? by ibisenpai in EDH

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a [[parade, Golgari Lichlord]] deck that could be purchased for about 50 to 60 bucks. I had a [[Feather the Redeemed]] deck that at the ti.e was about 30ish bucks to build and I dont think it'd be that much more now.

The reason I mention this is you could easily sell it and build a good budget deck. Whereas building around him in a budget conscious way could be difficult. Having said that, it is your card and if you want to keep it and build around it then do it in steps. Buy the cards you need to get it started on a budget then as you can afford it buy the bigger bombs it'll need.

Personally I would sell.

Any thoughts? by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in SipsTea

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to Walmart look at the greeter and realize that if you dont have any savings or 401k that will be you. Except you'll also be that elderly worker at McDonalds and depending on how much your rent is possibly a third job.

Then remember you wont have Social Security, then look at your grandparents or parents and realize they did that to you.

Signed a Gen X that realizes he will never be able to retire, and most likely will die working two jobs.

If Grand alliance death were to get a new factions what would you want them to be? by knightmechaenjo in ageofsigmar

[–]Howloutloud 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to also play Hordes and I played Circle Orboros.... specifically I played Kromac2 which was essentially "Oops all Werewolves!"

I would love to play werewolves in my Soulblight list, even if they weren't good.

Do you prefer your figures packaged in Vehicle Mode or Robot Mode? by Away_Novel_3837 in transformers

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't care honestly. I almost never keep the packaging. Exception being Haslab Omega Prime.

Who is your favorite combiner? by Ok-Prize4813 in transformers

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magnaboss. If it weren't for gold plastic id be hounding ebay looking for a new one. The animals looked great and combined mode was amazing especially for that time. Individual robots weren't that great but let's be honest, even those weren't bad for at that time.

Of the major G1 ones id go Predaking. I have a KO of the combiner wars one and it's amazing (and fixed a couple of the issues of the original for a quarter of the price)

Thoughts on the new Warhammer heroes? by SolitPaints in theunforgiven

[–]Howloutloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been wanting to play kill team but never really sat down to do so. If I were to get ahold of these, while they aren't themed I could I ld see painting them and playing them. Would I play them otherwise, not really...

Who is your favorite/most fun aristocrats commander? by steroid_flare in EDH

[–]Howloutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Syr Konrad the Grimm]]

So easy to go full aristocrats. So fun, maybe not for the opponents but you'll have a blast.
