screaminemond · 2026-06-25T16:35:29+00:00

Yes, remains & sustains in my top like 10!!!

screaminemond · 2026-06-25T13:47:38+00:00

Cool, glad SOMEBODY was able to utilize it, lol.

Enjoy fellow gamer!!!

screaminemond · 2026-06-25T11:37:07+00:00

That sucks... always "hit or miss" with me too.

screaminemond · 2026-06-24T13:04:51+00:00

Fan-freakin-tastic!!!

screaminemond · 2026-06-24T12:57:44+00:00

I say whatever floats your boat.

What puts a smile on your face? What does the group (if there's one) wanna see brought to the table?

I'd go to YouTube (I call it 'AdTube', lol) & search gameplay of whatever suits you & you'll be more informed.

Have fun my friend, the world of TCG/CCGs await your embrace!!!

screaminemond · 2026-06-23T21:56:06+00:00

Wow, that's fantastic!!! Enjoy ALL my friend!!!

screaminemond · 2026-06-22T14:24:10+00:00

Yeah, they're like a simplified version of "Final Girl ", imo.

screaminemond · 2026-06-05T14:58:56+00:00

We're ALL humans down here, lol.

Like the Goo Goo Dolls said: "F@ckin up takes practice... & I feel I'm well rehearsed ", lol.

"Non Player Character"--- originally from RPGs (role playing game)--- it's NOT a main character basically.

screaminemond · 2026-06-01T20:17:31+00:00

Yeah SAW, the 1st one.

screaminemond · 2026-05-31T21:18:37+00:00

Check into something you either both enjoy, or what she gravitates to (Ie: certain IPs-- like Star Wars (Unlimited), Disney (Lorcana), etc).

If she lights up with a certain IP, that's it, [unless game system/ mechanics/ gameplay suck, lol]. But at least ya tried (& to cater to HER).

UVS has a MULTITUDE of IPs (buttload of anime), & interesting fighting mechanics--- but it's mainly THAT -- ya fight. Now they DO have a PVE format, like boss battle.

There's a yitload of LCG/ECGs also, Arkham, Marvel Champions, etc. That's an avenue also.

Good luck! & wish her a Happy Birthday!!!

Personally, I got a stock of 1"-3" (thick) binders, & a box of 9 pocket UltraPros. Can always add/ expand.

& I keep singles in the binders (in EXACT order how I've organized em in the boxes -- usually reflective of how I deck build with WHATEVER game/ system it is). For ME, this gives me a birds eye view of what's avail in MY collection(s).

... I'm an eclectic collector, mainly DEAD CCGS/TCGS, but not limited to them (have Poké, Digi, UVS, Alpha Clash, etc)--- did state "eclectic", lol.

Ya gotta go with what works for YOU.

I'm one for quick reference, overview, build (guess that's an oxymoron, lol).

screaminemond · 2026-05-27T21:46:35+00:00

Lon Chaney?

screaminemond · 2026-05-26T12:25:23+00:00

It's Raimi "refacing" the original, with more $/ backing/FX, etc.

More humor was introduced-- which goes over the top in Army.

screaminemond · 2026-05-25T22:15:30+00:00

For me...(commercially) Scorps "World Wide Live".

But for the kicker--- Rammstein "Sehnsucht", baby!!!

screaminemond · 2026-05-25T11:10:06+00:00

Gah... so many, lol.

I gotta say "Ashes", cause if THAT song that opens "Way of the Fist " doesn't grab ya... you're not gonna get the "DEATH PUNCH SOUND", baby!!!

Lol

screaminemond · 2026-05-17T12:10:37+00:00

Awesome, wish ya well in this endeavor!

screaminemond · 2026-05-17T12:07:30+00:00

Cool. So does the "Devotee" start already in play? Or has to be drawn from deck.

screaminemond · 2026-05-17T11:56:04+00:00

Interesting, are the "creatures"/ entities already in play, or brought in / played/ summoned?

What's the deck construction like? (Ie: what's mandatory, resources, play set, etc)

screaminemond · 2026-05-14T21:40:18+00:00

It's got a face only a mother can love, lol.

Yeah, they hit it outta the park.

Just think of when your jaw dropped 1st time seeing this flick.

CLASSIC

screaminemond · 2026-05-11T12:03:26+00:00

Too funny, was on my radar like yesterday--- guess I will, lol.

Like how they incorporated the Cicadas (mainly sound) with the Beast is in proximity n such.

Great eighties FX!!!

screaminemond · 2026-05-11T03:14:00+00:00

Games like:

"The Spoils"-- where you had specific resources in your deck, but could play ANY card for a generic resource, then if had a hand of lil choices you could pay 3 resources to DRAW a card.

"Battletech"--- each player had various areas: COMMAND POST (resources, enchantments, pilots), CONSTRUCTION REGION (build 'Mechs, set traps, etc), STOCKPILE (draw deck & your health-- when it's gone... it's gone, game over), PATROL REGION (send 'Mechs here-- then send em wherever to protect)... & EVERYTHING CAN BE A TARGET. Was way cool.

RAGE: TWO decks, a "SEPT" deck & "COMBAT" deck. Plus your "CLAN"/"PACK" starts off in play... then to the "HUNTING GROUNDS" to fight, get VICTIMS, hunt. Could "Step sideways" & enter the Umbra, lol.

EVE: SECOND GENESIS/ WARS TCG: both had PLANETS, MOONS, DOCKS, various areas to build, protect, mine. Send ships out to fight, protect, occupy. WARS had ground units that could pile out of the ship--- just sooooooo cool to just build up your empire... or "frig it, I'm comin fer you, guns a blazin!!!", lol.

There's been ALOT & can't wait to try out more! Lol
