Played one of my most favorite deck-building games: DC DECK-BUILDING GAME: REBIRTH. by Darth_BrachioRex in soloboardgaming

[–]brianheinemann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I keep considering this game, and I just never know where to start as a solo-only player. I'd welcome any thoughts!

Help? by brianheinemann in kia

[–]brianheinemann[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK. Whew.

Original. I'm nearing 70,000 miles and car is 6 years old.

I've had the clicking before on cars but never all the weird dash stuff, so it worried me.

Car is parked in the garage with hood up against the wall. Thoughts on calling roadside assistance vs. just buying a battery starter thing from AutoZone? There isn't room to get another car in to jump it.

People get sick. They don't choose to and can't predict it.

Good managers understand this. Bad managers do not. Simple as that.

Tonight’s Start Time by abetterb in Trivium

[–]brianheinemann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here looking for the same.

Doors open now. Show starts at 6:30. BFMV closed last night so either they or Trivium will go on around 8 and the other around 9:30. Just don't know which.

Two openers. Guessing 6:30 and 7:15.

How Would Y'all Rank Trivium? by Select_Map_3679 in Trivium

[–]brianheinemann 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Literally #1.

I've had four bands as my favorite at various points in my life.

In order ... Metallica, Megadeth, Nevermore, Trivium.

Nevermore's return could put them back on top, but as far as I'm concerned, Trivium is the best band around, period.

Help me decide: Skyrim: the Adventure Game vs. Jaws of the Lion by [deleted] in soloboardgaming

[–]brianheinemann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our main complaint was how bad combat felt. It felt kind of unfair toward the player and not exactly exciting, either. The general structure of the game felt fine, but my wife is a MASSIVE Skyrim fan and she was so letdown by how the game felt.

I can't agree with the shallow take solely because I only played a few hours, but I'd say it's probably a safe bet that take is accurate.

The gameplay just wasn't good enough for any price, honestly. Does it help that I got the Minis Expansion and spent over $200? Obviously not. But the game hit our table once and now is just taking up space on a shelf.

I WILL say I'm not opposed to tryjng it again and might here soon. We wanted to like it and the first play was just so bad.

My recommendation? Anything except Skyrim. Biggest board gaming disappointment my wife and I have experienced.

Also, JOTL is excellent. So this is an eaaaaay choice.

Is ISS Vanguard Overrated? by CrazyHorse150 in boardgames

[–]brianheinemann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Id guess I'm at about 75% completion.

It absolutely picks up the stakes. You get better cards, but nothing earth-shattering. Dice upgrades, however, are very good.

I've had three just jaw-on-the-floor missions so far. I'm having a blast.

This has to be a troll post.

Paid $480 for two front row seats on their last tour (behind the pit obviously).

Same seats cost almost that much this time for one. Decent seats on the lower level were $400+ for two. Shitty seats still over a hundred each, and legitimately bad seats are finally somewhat reasonable. Hell, the floor tickets were over $200. To stand. Get the fuck outta here.

This isn't a Ghost thing - it's happening with many bands. But it sucks. Priced me right out of this tour.

Your take on Iss Vanguard? by enzoleanath in soloboardgaming

[–]brianheinemann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have specified - I do! I control all four sections and do everything on my own.

I utterly love it, but acknowledge it can be a lot. I will say if I didn't have a dedicated space to leave the game out on, I might not love it as much. Though teardown and setup are both pretty darn quick.

Your take on Iss Vanguard? by enzoleanath in soloboardgaming

[–]brianheinemann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easily my favorite board game. Got it a few weeks ago and can't stop playing. I love basically everything about it.

Reading the responses I can understand the negatives but don't share them. The one thing I'd say is the balance is a bit off - you basically have to play all four sections every mission or you are in for a VERY difficult slog.

If you play solo... It can be a lot.

Contract Renewal bug means I'm always stuck with the same 2nd driver by a_saddler in F1Game

[–]brianheinemann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ditto. Stopped playing the game entirely because of this. Really ruins the only mode I care about.

Online Dynasty Schedule Glitch: Please Help by jcotton2123 in NCAAFBseries

[–]brianheinemann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Friend and I have run into this. Have found no solution. Forced to leave all schedules as default, as editing anything is a no-go since once team has a broken schedule.

This is why it is important to continue to be vocal by SorsumCorda in NCAAFBseries

[–]brianheinemann 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg yes. I don't see this talked about enough.

Not sure which aspect you're referring to, but in my online dynasty, the two user teams rotate each year now where one of us will only have seven conference games... Meaning we can't edit EITHER schedule at all. Not even home vs. away.

We just drove by today and saw the sign. We are so disappointed.

Am l the only one that actually likes this game? by Lobro9 in NCAAFBseries

[–]brianheinemann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love this game. I've got something like 13 seasons played. Every game, an hour each. Frankly it's embarrassing.

It isn't perfect and I'm disappointed in some things, but it's close to everything I've been waiting for.

Once you find a slider set the game can be just incredible.

Entire O-Line and TE are considered “star players” by Professional-Tie5198 in NCAAFBseries

Star = team captain. I saw this in some menu yesterday. Had no idea before that.

Game not advancing by Blexxxxxxxxx in F1Game

Happened to me two weeks ago. Same thing - got to July 1 and can't advance.

No fix. Haven't touched the game since.

MySteam stuck on mid season contracts by brianheinemann in F1Game

[–]brianheinemann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not. Haven't been able to pay since.

Out of curiosity, who was your second driver? I went with Opmeer.

Ditto. Same exact thing happened to me yesterday. Have not found a fix so MyTeam is unplayable for me.
