    Not everyone, Sredni. I didn't know. It is a shame you lack this interest, I was hoping for you to have neat insight on it like you do the stuff that interests you.

    I apologise for assuming that everyone remembered him referencing that before.

    I don't really have much insight on this subject. Dreamworks has done some nice stuff, even relatively recently, but as a whole their production ethos smacks of what was happening back with Pixar and Circle-Seven.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    I turned 18 in 1995, and I had my first relationship in 1998. If we'd gotten married and had children, one of them would be in high school now. Amazing.

    It makes me sad that Disney saw fit to associate this with their cash-grabby DTV stuff

    Also, DreamWorks Animation is falling victim to the Classic Media way of thinking: just dredge up faded, but still somewhat recognized, intellectual properties without enlightening people on what made them popular in the first place. Boom! Instant franchise!

    Well, yeah. Nostalgia is big now, but quality control isn't...

    I know classic ≠ evergreen, but classics are still present in the popular consciousness.

    It's not a guaranteed hit, but if they do a good job with an adaptation, its classic status will give it a boost.

    I;ve been playing Magic 2014, and I'm not sure I've hated any fictional character as much as I hate Chandra right now.  Cheap cheap cheap cheater, with cards named after her that do automatic damage to creatures and player, always playing a land every turn, having overpowered creatures and always drawing theexact card she needs, and her stupid card that makes one of her cards get haste that she abuses, and her stupid flying that I can't block, and I have a cruddy deck and she's overpowered and she's just a soaphole illegitimate coloradoan-washingtonian amygalaoid edisonian Williamish ohioan descriptivist kennedy-like snollygoster with all the fair play of a robber baron made of wasps glued together with melted american cheese, and she needs to be eaten and tortured and die slowly because gosh darn it your hair looks just stupid and I'm sick of your existence you flipping scrappy-doo of the planeswalkers.

    I swear, I am never going to play a flying red card, a card named after Chandra, an "instant-damage to other player" an "instant damage to creature" a "sacrifice this creature to destroy artifact", a "when this creature dies, deal x damage to enemy", or a creature automatically ressurrected when you cast a spell.

    I meant Washington, not Wisconsin.  I apologize to Wisconsin, which is a perfectly fine state.

    Ohio is the worst state in the union because Dghelaayce'e, Dghelaayce'e, Dghelaayce'e!

    The annoying thing is that Ohio isn't even aware of that, but IT'S NOT MOUNT MCKINLEY YOU SONS OF  COCKAMAMIE COCKALORUMS, CACAFUEGOS, AND SLUBBERDEGULLIONS!

    yeah, but the rub is that Mount McKinley/Denali/Dghelaayce'e isn't even in in Ohio, it's in Alaska

    as a washington state person i would like to state that i am 100% behind the place being named something that people don't confuse with some fucking city. and hey, the sḵwx̱wú7mesh snichim is cool in my book

    Yes, but Dghelaayce'e is the world's tallest continental mountain.  Everest is only "taller" because it starts out high on the huge plateau, and Islands don't count because that's oceanic crust, which is an entirely different sort of thing, with an entirely different sort of forces and rock. 


    I mean, William McKinley does not deserve to have Earth's greatest mountain named after him.

    anti-{trade union}

    theyr'e not from texas or south carolina
  • anti-{Union of States} or secessionism would really have trouble flying in places like that

    on the other hand, though, some crazy jerks have actually started talking up the notion of nullification lately
  • edited 2014-06-17 18:36:31
    that nullification shit was one of the biggest political cans of worms before the u.s. civil war

    Measuring the actual mountain, and not the base, Dghelaayce'e is the tallest mountain on a continent. 
  • incidentally...

    Q: why do they call really problematic things "cans of worms"?

    A: because you use them to go fishing for trouble

    First of all, if she's destroying artifacts, then you're trying to use the two Staff of the Wild Magus cards. I know you can't get rid of them until you get replacement cards, but try not to play them. They slow down the game for you, and they don't slow her down enough. 

    You shouldn't be having that much trouble with the phoenixes. The Garruk deck has, like, 5 anti-flyer spiders in it.
  • Her hair does look stupid though. 

    It's like, the more cards that a planeswalker has, the stupider they look. Jace and Chandra are by far the most prolific of the neowalkers, and they both consistently have silly art. Except for the Mind Sculptor, but we don't talk about that card.

    Precisely. This is how all success works.
  • Man, I keep having flashbacks to Knights of the Old Republic II. I really need to replay it.

    When I played through KotOR I in seventh grade, I toyed with the idea of waiting five years to play the next one because that's the actual gap between the games. I didn't realize that might actually happen.

    But Staff of the Magus gives me life points.

    And she keeps resurrecting the phoenixes.

    I can't get enough forests for anything good, and she keeps drawing lava axe
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Diagnosis on MD Geist: basically it feels like someone described 30 Hs to some Japanese animators and they tried to recreate it in a way that wouldn't be too different from what was popular at the time.

    It's not that good. Or that bad. It exists.

    Soundtrack is pretty sweet though.
