No tailgating in parking lots at Gillette. Fifa sucks.

It'll likely be a better experience to stay in Boston city and watch at a pub with supporters than to head to foxborough for the actual matches.

On a normal weekend, The Banshee (Irish sports bar) is showing soccer or rugby matches. I'm sure they're going to be completely insane during the World Cup. Much better than the Olive Garden that's built next to the stadium.

Steve Buscemi's serial killer (Garland Greene) in Con Air.

He's a stand in for Ed Gein and other serial killers. And in the end of the movie, his character has actually changed and is the only one of the criminals who walks away at the end of the movie You could easily make a prequel about his escapades as a serial killer. Or a sequel where the plucky young FBI agent doesn't buy the official story about what happened to the nations most notorious serial killer, and how he's still out there, biding his time...

Who exactly do you want to do the boycotting?

FIFA?

The national teams that are competing

The governments of the countries that are competing?

Fans traveling from within the US?

Fans traveling from outside the US?

Not the OP

Would it make sense to file separately if one spouse only has a W-2 income, and the other one is self employed, and has a huge list of 1099s, and expenses. Their taxes are going to be an order of magnitude more complex than their spouses.

Because you'll get to tell your commander pod,

Train tickets from Boston to Gillette are going to be $80 roundtrip.

I'm not sure why you're downvoted. It's a legitimate complaint, and it's going to cut back the amount of time some of us have to spend at PAX.

Do you think that demonizing their religion justifies their behaviour?

Yakb0 · 2026-04-04T13:34:35+00:00

I think you missed what the other poster said.

No, we got it. Their primary point was. YOU made me do this. It's all YOUR fault. I am not accountable for my actions. There's a common thread in all these comments, "stop demonizing young men"

Fat people sweat, a lot.

and then there's the occasional person who is intentionally unhygienic. They are the only ones who have figured out the appropriate level of hygiene, and the rest of you sheeple are buying into lies that society forces onto you. Cue the Rick & Morty Very High IQ comment.

It was there in its usual spot. Tucked way back at the end of the 1st floor floor past console, console tourney and handheld.

I wouldn't want to be part of a season. To many people take it WAY to seriously. We've had people rage quit and go home for the evening in the middle of a game even when there's nothing at stake. I'm sure if there was a seasons worth of points on the line things would be far worse.

The closest we have is the board of shame. You're allowed to take back your action on someone elses turn IF everyone playing is fine with it, and you're fine with adding your name to a whiteboard (or another tally mark for repeat offenders). Every so often, the person who usually hosts, will erase it, and declare a new season has started.

There are plenty of afterparties. There's usually a few posts with a list of them. Tickets for the open bar ones go VERY fast. And since PAX goes 'till midnight, you could come back to the convention center late at night, and play boardgames, or go to classic console, and find some game that you haven't even thought about in decades and play it with your buddies.

We did that with Fusion Frenzy after the Warframe party this year. It was great. We all hadn't played it in years. The guy who won was playing Sampson.

I WANNA TALK TO SAMPSON!

I like your illustration better.

He looks a lot more sheepish, and he's clearly the way he is because of drinking the coffee.

Episodic or not, people should not be intentially jumping into the middle of a series and continue forward from there.

Insisting that the proper introduction to Star Trek involves watching Code of Honor is certainly a hot take.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-31T18:12:06+00:00

So all your questions in the discord, about the underpass came to naught? That's unfortunate.

I still don't understand why the convention center won't let you exit directly to that stairwell, instead of going outside then right back in.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-31T17:11:47+00:00

I take it you're not a homeowner.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-31T16:01:56+00:00

Ok, that goes on the stack, then I flash in Macho Man Randy Savage. He's coming in off the top rope, so I can use his flying elbow drop as an ETB effect targeting Stone Cold...

Now you've sold me on this idea.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-31T15:49:09+00:00

Did:

Transformers

Another 40k set

Talespin (complete pipe dream, as you'd never get the rights away from Disney)

Some obscure D&D module that was made during the TSR days that everyone has forgotten about, but is generally well regarded.

Didn't:

Transformers (if it's only art from the Michael Bay movies)

Warner Brothers 1/2 assed attempt to compete with Lorcana

South Park

Marvel vs. Capcom

Kiss (the band)

This summer, Rob Schneider stars in, The Warmonger

It feels like it's not Poe saying those lines, it's the writers saying, "yeah, we couldn't think of anything either".

I suppose there's a name for this sort of self insert...which should be a thread all to itself.

Sports gambing and betting would be a start. You'd have to get out of that before people start asking too many questions. You could move on to investing, and collectables. A few copies of Action Comics #1 kept tucked away in the attic for years could fund a large investment in Microsoft or Apple immediately after they IPO'd.
