@noir Depends how you get them. Intro packs (~$14) come with a 60-card deck and a 15-card booster pack, and are meant to be a casual starting point that you can add to later. || Event decks (~$25) come with a 60-card deck and a 15-card sideboard, and are meant to be good enough to jump straight in and play semi-competetively. || There's also the Deckbuilder's Toolkit (~$20), which comes with a mix of 225 cards plus four 15-card booster packs that you can use to build your own decks.

!calgary Speaking of M:TG and tommorow's game night: today is M13 launch day. I just picked up my fat pack, and I'm going to bring it, unopened, to see if anyone's interested in playing draft. Would be cool if someone else brought (or bought) a second pack. More cards = more players = more fun.
-
@noir Sure. Darcy also expressed interest in teaching new players tomorrow, so there should be no shortage of help.
-
@noir I told you it's fine. I'm not a collector, so I don't really care about condition. It wasn't bent that badly (in fact, I have two copies of that card, and I can't even tell which one was bent). Besides, it's only worth 10 cents anyways. Bring more of those cookies next meetup and we'll call it even.

!Calgary Been thrown off schedule since missing the zoo trip, when is the next meetup?

This cosmic dance of bursting decadence and withheld permissions twists all our arms collectively, but if sweetness can win, and it can, then I'll still be here tomorrow to high-five you yesterday, my friend. Peace.

!vgp http://bit.ly/PocA8r Okay, whose brilliant idea was it to stick Bribery in the deck that already has Panoptic Mirror and Rite of Replication?

!Calgary I was told I should make a twitter for the meetup for easy quick blurbs for news. I will get right on that when I ha e a spare moment.

!vgp Spec Ops: The Line looks like another generic shooter. All the commercials make it look otherwise. I'm pretty torn.
Tuesday, 03-Jul-12 04:38:16 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcino !vgp Instead of the typical "Buck yeah, American war hero!" storyline of most MMS games, Spec Ops takes the "War is hell" approach and really drives it home. || You are sent on what initially seems like a rescue mission, only to find yourself caught in an active war zone with no idea which side (if either) is "the bad guys", and having to defend yourself against both. || There are cutscenes -- perhaps a few more than strictly necessary -- to drive the story forward, but most of the story is told through in-game chatter between yourself and your teammates. || The game also allows you to make choices (with consequences) through the gameplay, rather than through any RPG-style dialogue. "Do I shoot this guy, or let him walk away?"; "Do I use this rocket launcher to clear the room of hostiles, or do I try to find another way around?"; "Do I go in guns blazing? oops, I just gunned down a civilian who was running for cover."
-
@puzzlemint @carcino !vgp In short, Spec Ops is a shades-of-grey style game that does its best to make you feel like crap. Which is refreshing, in a morbid kind of way.
-
@puzzlemint Oh fun.

@cabal I would take as much medical leave as possible and relax.
-
@communistprime That, and I need psychological help. I am taking my customer's complaints too seriously about me and my company, and its stressful being in techinical support for the 3rd largest Telecom in the country.
-
@cabal Wait. Tech support? I feel sorry for all the questions you get about why the computer's cupholder isn't working...

!vgp Been hearing that Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC is causing a lot of trouble with attacks on towns (As is my understanding, vampires can attack towns/cities without the player knowing and easily slaughter MANY NPCs). Can anyone really say how bad this is? I've got the PC version, so the DLC's not out for me yet, but when it is I'd rather know how many ghost towns I might be dealing with.
Sunday, 01-Jul-12 04:23:40 UTC from web-
@thunderdash !vgp Modders will fix it *shrug*
-
@puzzlemint !vgp Mmmm. Yeah, this is true, but I'm not entirely sure if I want to buy a DLC that needs modding to prevent serious gameplay consequences...

*Open the latest episode of Friendship is Witchcraft* *First thing I hear is Beeton Tracks* Could this be the best episode yet!?

!vgp Just finished watching the new Mass Effect 3 endings on youtube. They're.. longer. That's about it. || If you were actually hoping for a proper epilogue, or the slightest sense of closure, or any indication of what kind of impact the choices you made over the course of the trilogy have on the universe, you're not getting it here.

!calgary I finally did it! I made an OC pony. Will post link to pic once I colour it. *is pleased* Also, Mayhap & I will be in Calgary Thursday night to see the Benedict Cumberbatch 'Frankenstein' play at the Chinook theater. Anypony interested in joining us? We miss you guys. T-T
Thursday, 21-Jun-12 00:02:00 UTC from web-
@pseudoartiste !calgary We miss you guys, too. As for Thursday, I'm afraid I'll have to pass. I've spent most of the week getting over a cold, and I'd rather not spread it around. Assuming I didn't already infect everyone at the last meetup.
-
@pseudoartiste !Calgary aww that sounds like fun. too bad I can't attend due to work. darn evening shift ruining whatever kind of social life I wish to have...

http://deckbox.org/sets/141377 I can't believe I just swept a five-man free-for-all with this deck. And I didn't even draw Niv.

!calgary Anypony interested in working on a dance skit for next years Otafest? Is set to "Equestria Girls" and I ideally would like a (girl) Applejack, (girl)Rarity, (guy)Vinyl scratch. Any more would be awesome tho! :)

!calgary If you want to go to the zoo, you NEED to tell Darcy or leave a comment on the blog on one of the notices about said place. OTHERWISE YOU ARE NOT GETTING A TICKET AND YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR YOURSELF.

@Ceruleanspark @MrDragon I warned you guys to shutoff the website, and back everything up before going to the new server. Now lo - and behold, everything is broken.

@minti @ceruleanspark said that you should re-upload your avatars.
-
@doates No he said that you can, and that doing so wouldn't break the current transfer
-
@minti oh. I sit corrected.

The transfer is complete. @ceruleanspark is your god now.

!vgp I finished Mass Effect 3 a few days ago, but it took me a while to really process how I felt about the ending. || Well, I was already boycotting BioWare as an extension of boycotting their parent company, EA. At least now I don't feel bad about it anymore.
-
@puzzlemint And it was SO GOOD up to the ending.
-
@ceruleanspark I KNOW, RIGHT!?
-
@puzzlemint It was like reading an excellent novel only to find the author had wiped their mangoes on the last page. Not only does it spoil it for you, it makes you hesitant to go back and read it again.
