  1. All in. I loved the first 2 Bravely games. Edit: Also it's dumb that this is named Bravely Default II instead of "Bravely Third" or something.
  2. Huh, so it is. I thought it was 2010 or 11. Strike it from the list!
  3. I'm still going by the "your opinion" part. :P Minecraft isn't one of my personal favorites, but I think it is absolutely a top 10 game of the decade.
  4. In no particular order (I don't think I could rank them): Dark Souls (series) TLoZ: Breath of the Wild Skyrim League of Legends The Last of Us Super Mario Galaxy 2 Persona 5 Bloodborne Destiny Xenoblade Chronicles Minecraft* * I've never played Minecraft myself, but I don't think any "all decade" list could honestly pass on it given it's popularity, impact and influence. Edit: There should also be a BR game (Fornite, PUBG, etc.) on the list for the same reason.

  6. In a week that saw major leaderboard shake-ups, Biggie comes out on top; losing winning on the Feature Game, but and doing well enough in the questions to maintain his position atop the standings. With only 3 weeks left in the regular season and half the leaderboard in 1 week striking distance of 1st, nobody is safe! ########## WEEK 14 RESULTS ########## Feature Game: Seattle Seahawks (-1.5) at L.A. Rams The Rams schlock the visiting Seahawks by a score of 28-10.5(12-1.5). Bets on LA win. Only BasemntDweller2 and Biggie called the Feature Game correctly! QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Seahawks TD, Seahawks FG, Seahawks safety, Rams TD, Rams FG, Rams safety, or other? ($2,400 for the correct call) Seattle went up early with a 1st quarter field goal to get the scoring started. It was all down hill for them from there. 2) Which team in the Feature Game will have the most combined receiving yards? ($2,000 for the correct team) LA's receivers pulled down 293 yards to the Seahawks' 245. Guesses on the Rams win. 3) Pick a win for any team that is currently last place team in their division. ($2,500 for a correct pick) If you called one, you got it. 4) Washington @ Green Bay - Does either team score 3 times unanswered? ($2,000 for the right guess) In a game that was a lot closer than many were expecting, no team scored thrice unanswered. Jose and AbsolutSurgen were the only players to get this one. 5) Call the winners: Dallas at Chicago Carolina at Atlanta San Francisco at New Orleans ($1,700 for EACH correct named game winner, $3,500 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) A few players got close with 2/3, but nobody called all 3 correctly to earn the bonus. 6) Which team will score the most points on SUNDAY?

($7,000 for each player named correctly, $14,000 bonus if both names are called) Joe Mixon ran for 146 yards to lead all rushers and Emmanuel Sanders caught 157 through the air to be your Week 14 receiving leader. Nobody called either player. ######### LEADERBOARD ######### @Biggie - $56,950 @Keyser_Soze - $45,700 @thewhyteboar - $44,850 @BasemntDweller2 - $42,200 @AbsolutSurgen - $42,000 Slug - $29,600 @Jose - $13,100 @RedSoxFan9 - $12,800 @Dodger - $6,300 @Alpha1Cowboy - $5,300 @SFLUFAN - $3,900 @johnny - $2,500 @Greatoneshere - $2,100 @Kal-El814 - $1,500 As always, if you think I mathed wrong let me know. ########## THE SEASON ######### Week 1 <-- See here for full rules if you're interested in joining the competition!

  7. Yeah Frosthaven had a huge presence. I didn't check it out at all; Gloomhaven intimidates me. I played it once and it was fun, but there was a bit much to track. I don't think I'd ever be able to get it to the table if I owned it, even though personally it's right in my wheelhouse. It's like...my D&D pals would be into it, but if we're getting together we're just going to end up playing D&D and Gloomhaven is too heavy for my other game pals. But damn it was fun the one time..
  8. Got in some fun Magic drafts, including one with Mark Rosewater in my pod; drafted corner with him. DM'd a great D&D session, played in another. Played several good minis games. Simultaneously laughed/raged at Tokyo Highway, found out why everyone loves Potion Explosion, bluffed my way through Overseer. Spent waaaaaaaaay too much money on new games. All in all a good con this year. My only ragret is that I wasn't able to take in any of the panels I wanted to see; games I had scheduled before them ran longer than anticipated and I just didn't make 'em. Ah well.
  9. Hey they'll be doing a meet 'n' greet at McGillin's this weekend. Maybe I'll drop in and see if they're cool.
  10. How wildy out of touch am I? I've played nothing off the Post's list and only 3 of the 30 on the Pastemag list. o_0
  11. For anyone in the area who wants to pregame PAX U, the Philly Game Shop is doing a PAX Eve event tonight with game demos, preview games, and more. https://www.phillygameshop.com/ It's on 5th, just off South St. near Wooly Mammoth.

    I'm 31.

    There's that ray of sunshine the thread needed. :P
  13. Yup, I was off on yours somehow. How the hell do I screw up the math on your entry 2 weeks in a row? Updated OP with your correct total.

    I'm 31.

    Every decade you look ahead and those people seem so old, but then you look back and those people seem so young and dumb. Like, I look back at early 20-somethings and they seem like kids to me. I think the 30's are terrific. You've got enough life experience that you can handle your shit. You know what you want out of everything and how to get it. Your body hasn't started to fall apart yet. Basically you're young enough to still have fun and old enough to know how to do it right.

    I got that feeling at 25, when I realized I was closer to 30 than to 20. I got over it pretty quickly. The 30's are awesome.

  17. The tight race at the top of the leaderboard shifts again as Biggie pulls ahead of the crowd! Not a lot of correct calls on our Thanksgiving Touchdown makers made Week 13's bet on the Feature Game a crucial one and with our deposed leader dropping the ball, Biggie was quick to snap up that top spot! As a side note, the number of people who called McCaffery as the week's rushing leader is disappointing. You should all be ashamed. *wags finger* :P ########## WEEK 13 RESULTS ########## Feature Game: Chicago Bears (-3.5) at Detroit Lions In a close contest, Chicago barely edges out the Lions by a score of 20.5(24-3.5)-20. Bets on the Bears win. QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Bears TD, Bears FG, Bears safety, Lions TD, Lions FG, Lions safety, or other? ($2,000 for the correct call) Trubisky hit Robinson from 10 yards out for the first score of the Feature Game. 2) Who will score the first touchdown in the Feature Game? ($2,000 for the correct player) Allen Robinson. Did you even read the Question 1 answer? 3) Who will score the first touchdown in the Buffalo @ Dallas game? ($2,000 for the correct player) Jason Witten pulled in a short pass from Prescott for the first touchdown in a losing effort to the Bills. 4) Who will score the first touchdown in the New Orleans @ Atlanta game? ($2,000 for the correct player) Brees shovels a short one to Taysom Hill for the first TD of this one. 5) Call the winners: Tennessee at Indianapolis Tampa Bay at Jacksonville Cleveland at Pittsburgh ($1,500 for EACH correct named game winner, $3,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Dodger was the only player to earn the bonus, calling all 3 games correctly. 6) Who will score the first touchdown in the Washington @ Carolina game? ($2,000 for the correct team player) Another passing TD, Samuel gets a 4 yard grab for a score early in the game as the Panthers get off to a quick start before the Redskins came roaring back. 7) Who will score the first touchdown in the L.A. Rams @ Arizona game? ($2,000 for the correct player) Higbee. That's a fun name to say. Higbee. 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week thirteen. ($6,000 for each player named correctly, $12,000 bonus if both names are called) Derrick Henry rumbled for 149 yards on the ground and Rob Woods hauled in a ridiculous 172 through the air to lead offensive players in Week 13. Nobody called either player. ######### LEADERBOARD ######### @Biggie - $48,650 @thewhyteboar - $46,150 @AbsolutSurgen - $44,100 @Keyser_Soze - $43,700 Slug - $38,700 @Jose - $37,700 @Dodger - $24,600 @BasemntDweller2 - $18,000 @RedSoxFan9 - $12,800 @Alpha1Cowboy - $5,300 @SFLUFAN - $3,900 @johnny - $2,500 @Greatoneshere - $2,100 @Kal-El814 - $1,500 As always, if you think I mathed wrong let me know. ########## THE SEASON ######### Week 1 <-- See here for full rules if you're interested in joining the competition!

  18. I'm planning on doing some D&D AL and some M:tG booster drafts. Aside from that I'm gonna go with the flow and see what piques my interest. There's also a DM'ing panel that looks interesting I might attend.
