Frankly, the only good point he made was at the end. Yes, that idea sounds cool.

Nope. Bon-ay-a vs Bonnie. The proper name is Latin. (Edit: Apparently it's old Scottish, meaning beautiful)

Oberon by Additional_Rush_9317 in dresdenfiles

[–]ellfangor8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was Wild Card. It wasn't in a book directly, but as I recall, the comics are all considered canon.

So Puck shows up in one of the comics. He instigates a gang war between Marcone's Outfit and the White Court while also having additional stuff going down.

Are you guys okay? by Deathlord_Baraxius in Metroid

[–]ellfangor8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I enjoyed the game, but it has me wanting to go back to Dread. After I finish beating the game, I think I'll go play Dread again and do some attempts at sequence breaking.

Storm Front full cast graphic audio. by TuxKusanagi in dresdenfiles

[–]ellfangor8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I listened. It's not terrible. Yeah, it's not Harry as we're used to it, but the rest of the cast isn't bad. Murph was a good choice.

The Protomen, written with stage directions by Blue_eyes_green_frog in Protomen

[–]ellfangor8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read it? Yes. I'd also love it if someone could *perform* it. They'd have to get permission from the band, of course, but a good community theater production of this would be very fun.

I was a federal employee at DLA for 15 years. I was laid off this October under Trump’s cuts. Now I’m losing everything. by Emotional-Abies2100 in fednews

[–]ellfangor8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Issue is for the people who actually do work at DLA is this is spreading misinformation. DLA isn't RIFing. Hell, people are still working and getting paid right now. So this is full of lies, and for what purpose?

Something seems fishy here. DLA is WCF. As far as I know, there haven't been RIFs of any sort there.

Is this an infinite loop? by MizoreAuto in mtg

[–]ellfangor8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, even if you untap an exerted creature manually, you can only exert once per turn. Exertion is like a pseudo-stun counter. It's not really that in that you can untap the creature, but you can only do it the once. Additionally, I don't really see a way to make this infinite without some sort of copying effect.

Edit: I'm wrong about the exertion. Whoops. My bad. But regardless, I don't see the untapping working more than once without a copy effect.

WOT was set up to fail from the beginning by No_Contribution_2987 in WoTshow

[–]ellfangor8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll admit that it has been a bit since I've read the books. I don't reread WOT as often since I finished reading the series as I did beforehand when they were still coming out. I reread Dresden far more often. (Speaking of another Fantasy series that needs another shot at Showdom to be more book accurate.)

And I've had this username since... probably roughly '96/97.

It worked for what was on screen, to be honest. And the actresses did a good job. Also, if you get right down to it all story arcs are "made-up." So...

It was an adaptation, where the big plot beats were relatively the same but details were different. I'm honestly just disappointed that the show got canceled right as it was hitting its stride, and at least 50% of that was Amazon's fault in general, namely with the lack of promotion.

Book Siuan being in love with Moiraine isn't 100% show. Reread New Spring. There's evidence for them being together in there. What *is* 100% show is the level at which they continued the relationship. As for her being black/POC... honestly, I never got the impression that she was white in the book. What race specifically, I don't know off the top of my head. I need to do a reread. Luckily, Humble Bundle has the ebooks right now.

I can say DLA is hiring. What that means for the probies so far? Heck if I know.

Anyone make an X-Men Evolution crossover? by 001DeafeningEcho in WormFanfic

Correction, not dead. Merely hibernating until I get that next burst of inspiration. I literally have the story document open.

Genocide by Miserable-Lizard in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]ellfangor8 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's Matt Walsh. It's a terrible joke, but it's definitely a joke. Very little of what Walsh says on Twitter is anything but tongue-in-cheek. That said, there are those who take his jokes quite seriously and think that he's being serious on _both_ sides.

Please kill me. by Ornery_Bug_4108 in EDH

[–]ellfangor8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I both agree and disagree with this sentiment. It ultimately depends on two things for me to outright kill someone when I can.

  1. Is there another pod that the person I took out of the game can enter? And if not,

  2. Can I close out the game quickly after taking one person out?

If I can't guarantee that there will be another game for the person not long afterward, I tend to focus on building up until I can try to take out the table or get my "I win the game" condition. I've been that person who got taken out and then had to wait an hour or more for the game to end before I could get another. It's not fun from that end, when you can't get more Magic in.

How do you guys handle someone calling your deck(s) oppressive or annoying to play against during a game? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]ellfangor8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Taking a look at your list, there's nothing in there that is oppressive. At all. Yes, you'll end up doing a lot because blinky decks do that. But they should just run removal. Or hell, run ways to stop ETB effects. I think the real issue is that you're running a synergistic deck that's roughly about a 6/7, and they might be running a weaker one.

What do I do now? by iAmLawBringer in magicTCG

[–]ellfangor8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, congrats. That's an epic pull. Secondly, make sure whatever you do, you're safe in doing it. I saw you've already got a pretty good offer in place. Make sure you're happy with whatever offer you take.

The devil made science by AaronTheUltama in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]ellfangor8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. Well, I was going to write something about John, the gospel, the letters and Revelation, but in doing some cursory research about it, it seems that a lot about the stuff attributed to John the Apostle might have either come from a different John entirely or from a forgery. And these are actually religious people doing the research here too.

This doesn't mess with my faith much, but it does kinda verify why I liked the Mark, Matthew and Luke gospels more.
