  2. Dodger hit big on his Feature Game bet and was one of an unprecedented three players to call one of our Question 8 Weekly Leaders to surge ahead and grab the top of the leaderboard going into Week 6! His lead is slim and the majority of the field is still only a single good week behind; can he hold on?! ########## WEEK 5 RESULTS ########## Week 5 Feature Game: L.A. Rams (+1.5) at Seattle Seahawks The Rams lost on the field, but won in the MGT, beating the Seahawks by a score of 30.5(29+1.5)-30. Bets on LA win. QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Rams TD, Rams FG, Rams safety, Seahawks TD, Seahawks FG, Seahawks safety, or other? ($700 for the correct call) Zurlein booted an early 47 yarder for the first score, a Rams FG. Only Dodger and Slug called this one correctly. 2) Which team in the Feature Game will have the most total combined rushing yards? ($500 for the correct call) Seattle more than doubled LA's rushing total, 167 to 82. 3) Name the QB that will be sacked the most in Week 5. ($800 for the right name) The Jets apparently forgot to activate their O-Line as Luke Falk was sacked a ridiculous 9 times. Nobody called this. 4) Who will score the first touchdown (as always, the guy standing in the end-zone) in the Jacksonville @ Carolina game? ($700 for the correct guess) McCaffery took it into the endzone on 1st and goal from the 5 to kick off the scoring in this one. 5) Call the winners: Buffalo at Tennessee Chicago at Oakland Cleveland at San Francisco ($500 for EACH correct named game winner, $1,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Several players got one or two of these. Nobody got all 3 to earn the bonus. 6) Name the highest scoring team in Week 5. ($800 for the correct team) The Texans served a 50 burger on Atlanta, hanging up 53 points to lead all teams in scoring. Keyser_Soze was the only player to see this smackdown coming. 7) Name the lowest scoring team in Week 5. ($800 for a correct guess) Cleveland couldn't get anything going on Monday night, only scoring 3 points and taking up the rear in Week 5's scoring totals. Jose was the only player who call this one. 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week five. ($2,500 for each player named correctly, $4,000 bonus if both names are called) McCaffery led Week 5's ground game with 176 yards and Amari Cooper pulled down 226 through the air to lead all receivers. Three players (Dodger, RedSoxFan9, and SFLUFAN) called McCaffery's name for the rushing title! Nobody called Cooper though, so no bonus awarded. ######### LEADERBOARD ######### @Dodger - $11,600 @Biggie - $10,550 @Keyser_Soze - $10,100 @RedSoxFan9 - $10,100 @AbsolutSurgen - $7,200 @thewhyteboar - $6,850 @Jose - $6,600 @SFLUFAN - $5,500 @Greatoneshere - $4,900 Slug - $3,700 @johnny - $2,500 @BasemntDweller2 - $1,700 @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!

  3. I enjoy the show and don't feel like I need to hide it. So some segment of the show's fans are garbage. OK. That doesn't reflect on me. And as far as being popular...I've honestly never understood why that's a deal breaker for some people. If you enjoy something, enjoy it. If other people enjoy it, cool. If a lot of other people enjoy it? Still cool. That doesn't affect my consumption of that product at all so why deprive myself of something I find value in? As long as the quality remains high, bring it on.
  4. A buddy is gonna wrtie up a short one-shot adventure using that system and run it for us, maybe at PAXU.
  5. I thought it was...decent. The biggest problem for me was that it could've been a lot shorter for what it was. They kind of beat you over the head with one aspect of it for way longer than necessary before we get to the payoff. It was like, "OK we get it". It started to feel like filler. Ultimately I don't think it was a *bad* movie, there were a few really good moments, but it's not something I'd watch twice.

  7. With one of only two winning bets on the Feature Game this week and nailing every game in the Question 5 pick 'em, Jose blasts his way out of the basement to take control of the leader board! With a quarter of the season in the books, his stunning turnaround is proof that nobody at the bottom is out of it and nobody at the top is safe! ########## WEEK 4 RESULTS ########## Week 4 Feature Game: Dallas Cowboys (-2.5) at New Orleans Saints The Saints brought Dallas fans back down to earth, handing them their first loss by a score of 12-7.5(10-2.5). Only Jose and Slug bet the Feature Game correctly. QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Cowboys TD, Cowboys FG, Cowboys safety, Saints TD, Saints FG, Saints safety, or other? ($600 for the correct call) The first score of what turned out to be a mostly field goal fest was a Cowboys 28 yarder in the first quarter. 2) Which team in the Feature Game will give up the most turnovers? ($500 for the correct call) The Saints dropped the ball for a turnover on their first drive, but the Cowboys put the ball on the ground twice and Prescott threw a pick late for a total of 3 turnovers to New Orleans' 1. 3) Air Inferiority - Name the QB that will throw the most interceptions in Week 4 ($800 for the right name) Josh Allen, Jared Goff and Dwayne Haskins (grumble) threw the most picks in week 4 with 3 a piece. Any of these names get the cash. Biggie was the only player to call one of these names. 4) How many total points will be scored in the Seattle at Arizona game? 0-10, 11-24, 25-36, 37-45, 46-53, or 54+? ($600 for the correct guess) Seattle handily won this one by a score of 27-10. Calls on 37-45 get it. 5) Call the winners: Jacksonville at Denver Washington at NY Giants Cincinati at Pittsburgh ($500 for EACH correct named game winner, $900 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Several players got a couple of these but 3 players (Dodger, Jose and Keyser_Soze) nailed all three to earn the bonus! 6) Sunday Driving: Which team will have the most time of posession in Week 4? ($800 for the correct team) Did it feel like Jacksonville always had the ball? Maybe that's because they were less than 6 minutes away from having 3 full quarters of offense on the field, with a total ToP of 39:12 in week 4. Nobody called the Jags. 7) ROOOOOOAD TRIP! How many visiting teams will win in Week 4? ($800 for a correct guess) Good week for the visitors! 11 road wins were tallied in week 4. Nobody got this. 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week four. ($1,900 for each player named correctly, $3,500 bonus if both names are called) Leonard Fournette ran all over Denver for a ridiculous 225 rushing yards and Davonte Adams led all receivers with 180 yards worth of catches. BasemntDweller2 DID call Adams! Nobody called both for the bonus. ######### LEADERBOARD ######### @Jose - $9,100 @Keyser_Soze - $7,400 @Biggie - $6,850 @thewhyteboar - $6,150 @AbsolutSurgen - $6,000 @Dodger - $5,400 @Greatoneshere - $4,900 @RedSoxFan9 - $4,900 Slug - $3,600 @BasemntDweller2 - $2,900 @SFLUFAN - $2,800 @johnny - $2,500 @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!

  11. AbsolutSurgen surges back to retake his lead by the slimmest of margins! Can he hold on with most of the leaderboard breathing down his neck? Let's find out! ########## WEEK 3 RESULTS ########## Week 3 Feature Game: Chicago Bears (-4.5) at Washington Redskins The Bears beat the Redskins by a score of 26.5(31-4.5) to 15, covering the points as easily as they covered Keenum's jersey in grass stains. QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Bears TD, Bears FG, Bears safety, Redskins TD, Redskins FG, Redskins safety, or other? ($500 for the correct call) Ha-HA! Bears TD is the call as Clinton-Dix picks off Case Keenum for the first of his 5 turnovers of the night. Biggie, Greatoneshere, and Jose were the only 3 players guess this one. 2) Over or under? 42 combined points in the Feature Game. ($500 for the correct call) With a combined 46 points belonging mostly to the efforts of the Bears defense, the over gets it. Shockingly nobody called the over on this one! 3) Air Force - Name the QB that will throw for the most yards in Week 3 ($700 for the right name) Russell Wilson hangs 406 yards on the Saints D in a losing effort to take the passing crown for the week. Nobody called Wilson airing it out this week. 4) Flags everywhere - What team will be penalized the most, in terms of number of penalties, in Week 3? ($700 for the correct team) The Falcons got flagged a ridiculous 16 times on Sunday, which is only 6 flags off the record for a single game. Only Greatoneshere predicted Atlanta's lack of discipline. 5) Call the winners: Carolina at Arizona Houston at LA Chargers Baltimore at Kansas City ($400 for EACH correct named game winner, $800 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) KC was the only home team to hold down the fort this week. No bonus awarded as only 3 players (Keyser_Soze, RedSoxFan9, and SFLUFAN) called Houston's win. 6) 10 teams have no wins through two weeks. Name a team that gets their first win in Week 3. ($600 for a correct guess) The Jaguars, Giants, and Panthers all got their first dubs of the season in Week 3. 7) 10 teams have no losses through two weeks. Name a team that suffers their first defeat in Week 3. ($600 for a correct guess) The Ravens got a lot of players a free $600. :P 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week three. ($1,700 for each player named correctly, $3,200 bonus if both names are called) Christian McCaffery rushed for 153 to lead the ground game in Week 3 while Mike Evans hauled in 190 to lead all receivers. Nobody called either player. ######### LEADERBOARD ######### @AbsolutSurgen - $7,000 @Biggie - $6,950 @Kal-El814 - $6,800 @RedSoxFan9 - $5,900 @Keyser_Soze - $5,700 @thewhyteboar - $5,050 @Greatoneshere - $4,900 @Dodger - $4,400 @SFLUFAN - $4,300 @Jose - $3,100 @johnny - $2,500 @BasemntDweller2 - $1,000 Slug - $1,000 As always, if you think I mathed wrong let me know. ########## THE SEASON ######### Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 ############################### WEEK 4 FEATURE GAME AND QUESTIONS FOLLOW THIS POST
  12. I knew short people could be sensitive about being short, but JFC this guy. The delusion is strong.
  13. Well, the easiest thing from a "pain in the ass" standpoint would be to sell the whole set. Try the BGG marketplace. But you're right; if most profit is your goal then parting it out piece by piece is the way to go. Depends on how you wanna do it. But yeah, I'm interested in just the base game. Don't hold it or anything, but I'll check back when my bank account isn't crying and if you still have it we'll work it out.
  14. I'd not seen that one before. That makes me incredibly happy.
  15. Wow, all of 'em?! That's quite an investment! If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason you've decided to part with it unopened? To go all in like that you must have been pretty interested in the game from the outset.
  16. It would be just the base game. How many of the add-ons did you get? I didn't follow the KS, but being Petersen I have to imagine there were a lot of them available.
  17. Nah, I'm in Jersey. I make the GenCon trip every year, but it's like a 10-11 hour drive. It'd have to be shipped. Don't sweat holding on to it. Keep trying to sell it. But I'll check back with you when my bank account recovers from Fire Emblem, Borderlands 3, and Link's Awakening. If you still have it we can talk. What were you looking to get for it? Being a Petersen minis game I have to imagine it's in the $100-$200 range?
  18. Oh man, I actually want this. I loved Cthulhu Wars and from everything I've seen on this, it's like a tighter, more balanced CW (as much as I love CW, the factions were pretty poorly balanced). But seeing how it's a Petersen miniatures game it's going to be out of my budget for a bit. I might check back with you in a few weeks to see if you still have it, when my wallet is straining a little less from recent purchases (*shakes phist at video games angrily*). Hope you're able to unload it.
