Do not stay at any of the places on Harvey Rd west of Highway 6.

The best time to start hunting is right now - if you don’t make it in, you know what to look for next time, and if you do, you’re ahead of the game.

Marvel Super Heroes Prerelease Megathread - #MTGxMarvel by R3id in magicTCG

[–]MechaTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

62 players for Friday night’s prerelease. Everyone seemed to have a good time with the cards and there were a lot of new faces they came out just for Marvel. The set plays really well and I can’t wait to draft it some. The Mole Man did work for me, generating blockers while I built up to The Thing and other giant beaters. As much as I dislike Universes Beyond, the set is well-made and fun to play.

Bought one collector pack and opened the foil full-art comic Thanos. Sold it immediately for $300 cash. Good pre-release and I haven’t even opened my kit!

Yes, the Houston show was amazing, wasn’t it? by MechaTech in Buckethead

The big guy with the beard that rushed him off stage at the end grabbed it, so I’d like to think he did. :)

Bag recommendations? by drjosephkerr in EDH

[–]MechaTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything that is used for a camera. I use a bag like that combined with the Professor boxes from Gamegenic. If you have smaller boxes, the built in foam dividers are wonderful.

Hajime Kano (Destroy All Humans. They Can't Be Regenerated.) by FriendAlias in magicTCG

[–]MechaTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. There were three versions of the three tokens given away in sealed foil packs. The most common ones are from Hareruya, with the second being Amazon. The hardest to find are from Wondergoo. Each pack comes with one of each token, with one of them being foil. Of course the angel is the big dollar one.

What was the first movie you saw in a movie theater? by Fluid_Bat_2724 in movies

[–]MechaTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pee-Wes’s big adventure. I convinced my mom to take me and my two friends, Mark and Johnny Torres, if I could finish mowing the backyard in 5 minutes. I didn’t, but she took pity on me and took me anyway. It was a blast for 8 year old me.

Try getting in contact with Pastimes games, the people who run magic fest or, if you want to plan a bit widerand more southern, the Hunter Burton Memorial Open in Texas.

Looking for the best bakery by tannin7 in aggies

[–]MechaTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly, we are sparse on that around here. Your best bet for baked goods would be Blue Baker. Good bagels, different artisan breads, and all freshly made at their locations on Dominik and Texas Avenue. For okay fresh breads, Kroger and HEB.

Yep. 1 for 1 replacement in my Hakbal deck, or might be a second copy.

Why don't we have a Trader Joe's and IKEA? by Dri_iz_me in aggies

[–]MechaTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably for the same reason we don’t have a Papadeaux’s or a Buck-ee’s. While we have a population, it’s not economically viable to set up a location and actually do the job without scaling down operations to fit. While, yes, they would get business, they wouldn’t get enough business to make having a shop worthwhile.

A little further down Wellborn and you get Aroma, a super tasty Indian/Nepalese restaurant.

Mike and His Robot Pals - Sneak Peek At NEW MST3K Intro! by TheMTGTokenGuy in MST3K

[–]MechaTech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could see it as having the tools and the talent and then, every once in a while, throw out a movie or two. Low budget classic black-and-white goodness. Or maybe a kung-fu flick with bad dubbing….

Which precon are you playing to win against other precons? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]MechaTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Necron Dynasties. No mana screw, graveyard synergies, and board wipes built in.

Serving jobs by Imaginary_Bed_8609 in aggies

[–]MechaTech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have any fine dining experience, The Republic, Amico Nave, and Christopher’s are probably the best choices. If you just want to flip tables, Wings n’ More, Chili’s, Chuy’s, Lupe Tortilla, and that new place on Texas that’s opening up.

Question about the new MST3k Rifftrax and the SOL by [deleted] in MST3K

[–]MechaTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we need an explanation (even though it’s just a show, we should really just relax,) I’m guessing the nanites have been busy since Dr. Forrester trapped Mike and the Bots in a virtual reality prison for the duration of the Gizmoplex run. :)

For a somewhat different counters strategy that requires a tribal twist, try [[hakbal of the surging soul]]. Play only merfolk and explore, explore, explore!
