When they made Namco X Capcom, there was never going to be a 2. When they made Endless Frontier + Exceed, there was never going to be a 3. Reiji and Xiaomu will continue on. If nothing else they'll probably show up in either a future Super Robot Wars, or alternatively a Xenosaga spinoff. Maybe even Xenoblade. And there will probably be a massive video game RPG crossover at some point too, regardless of what it ends up being called.

Speaking about Hasbro/Wizards though, and in particular about their mismanagement, I'm reminded of how about five or so years ago I purchased some Avalon Hill line board games, and remember being shocked at that time about how poor the quality of the material was compared to pretty much any other board game company's offerings. Of particular note was the card warping present in many printings of Betrayal at House on the Hill, which seems very similar to the warping seen in Magic cards today. There it was particularly fatal since the warping also affected the house tiles, which were used as a board that pieces were placed on. Of course, just generally the product was pretty shoddy. I got my hands on a printing that didn't suffer from the warping (or to be more precise had warping, but only slight and not enough to affect play), but it still had problems like the fact that trackers used on the character profiles were far too big for the cards (or maybe the cards shrank?) so that they would slide around, making them impossible to use for their intended purpose of tracking stats (I ended up just replacing them with paperclips). Anyway, the reason that I bring this up is that at that point the Avalon Hill lined seemed to be pretty mismanaged. Maybe things have changed now since I haven't purchased anything in that line since then, but I doubt it. I wonder if there were already management problems at that time, but they were shunted away to a line that no one cared about while the heads tried to protect the big lines of Magic and D&D.

Has that new "no seriously this time we're totally going to beat Hearthstone since now we have Twitch support" Magic online game come out yet?

You may remember that like half a year ago I got a three month ban for posting a smiley face on another message board. Well, I just got perma banned for doing it again. Got an explanation message from the mod doing it which explained that while they normally do not do permabans, and while there is no official procedure for perma banning someone except for posting illegal files/pornography/etc., that the mod was making an exception in this case because of the unacceptable lack of respect towards the community that this exhibited. Of course, the only reason that I had posted there at all in the past few months was to see how idiotic the reason I was banned would be, so this works out fine for me .

I hate when I spend plenty of time to figure out how to kill just enough of an opponent's guys so that he'll only take me down to 1 life on his turn.... ...only to realize that I could have just swung all in to kill him and get the win right there.

Also, I now realize that I don't have Touhou correspondences for like half of subspuf because you guys stopped posting on bigspuf years before that became a thing.

You know, despite all of his accomplishments and his hall of fame induction, Randy Johnson is always going to be known primarily as "that guy who killed a bird with a pitch."

Why is this accent identical to coffee green tea?

Touhou characters probably get their socks dirty all the time.

You know, I'm surprised we haven't gotten a Lupin IV yet. I mean with the number of years that have passed you could even have a Lupin V, really.

What the hell there's multiple virtual yukkuri channels: It might not be apparent from the thumbnails, since the format is identical in all of these videos, but those are all from different channels.

A few years ago I thought that half swording was going to catch on as the new meme cool move in games and shows, but it didn't seem to catch on.

Recently Wizards is starting to remind me of the last days of TSR. Inconsistent product quality, a seeming ignorance of what products the customers actually want made worse by a general oversaturation of products, and a steady loss of business to competing that they don't really understand (Magic: The Gathering in the case of TSR, Hearthstone and its imitators in the case of Wizards).

Stop giving them a hard time. They've only had 25 years to figure out how to distribute things. On a slightly more serious note though I'm seeing a lot of theories that Jace is printed at his own rarity, and that's why he wasn't repeated even though all the other rares and mythic rares were.

When are we getting Ulgrotha part two though.

To be serious, you probably need to get it up to 3-4 rats a day to make a dent.

So we have it on good authority that there are in fact 650 virtual youtubers: What surprises me more is that somehow there are six of them referenced here which haven't been posted in this thread yet.

The last time they gave us a vote, this is whom I voted for:

Now that I look into the design document, lots of individual things look good but many choices seem to go against the general theme of streamlining the game and making it conssitent that Wizards has adopted in the last decade or so. In particular: The legendary supertype is applied to sorceries, but in a manner completely different (though not entirely disconnected) from its other uses. Adding rules baggage to the subtype "saga" completely reverses their decision on legends and walls. The "historic" word seems kind of random. In particular, why are random artifacts always included? Though since this is almost certainly a block only mechanic it's not the biggest deal. The use of "any target" is a good way to open up design space on burn spells, but can be confusing on other cards. In particular, if I'm reading this right, "destroy any target" wouldn't be able to target lands, artifacts or enchantments (unless they also happened to be creatures). If they just don't use this terminology on things which are not burn spells I suppose it's fine. That being said, this move is not necessarily a bad thing. It could lead to a game with more flavor and more room for creative usage of the rules, rather than the somewhat staler game that Magic has more recently become. In particular if they make good use of reminder text it should be fine.

I'm calling right now that sagas are all going to be expansions of MTG.

It's on the official ohoho channel, it checks out: If you aren't familiar with the ohoho that channel is a good place for research.

I legitimately can't tell if daddy derek is being ironic or not in this video. I mean, past history suggests not, but at the same time... EDIT: Lol, he deleted the video after he decided to use the money from this project to one that would be cheaper to film.
