Got my empire shirt on, spreadin' knowledge to dees foos. They're doing some kind Cinco De Mayo thing, I've just co-opted it as a Star Wars celebration.

Sorry dude, but your May the Fourth has been co-opted as a Mexican celebration. From now on this date will be called the Estar Juarez Fiesta and will feature beloved and well-known characters such as Darth Vato, Luke Eskai-dude, Han Cholo and his furry co-pilot Chu-mama.

Orale, Freddie!

Heh, saw this and thought you guys wuld enjoy it. What If...Cyclops and Wolverine got their powers scrambled.

Shout out to Wade - thanks for the trade, dude! I received the LE Adam Warlock yesterday. I also appreciate you including the Soul Gem and the Alaskan Mosquito Trap special objects.

The Mosquito Trap is pretty darned interesting and I think that points-wise I can make it work on a 300-point team.

I was just trying to figure out WK's release schedule for sets in the next 6 months and I'm completely lost. I don't care about specific release dates, just what sets are coming, and what forms they come in. I can't seem to figure out what sets have GF's/mini sets/starters/full sets. They marketing strategy is off the wall now. I wish we had the old days of 3 sets a year with no GF boosters at all. It was much easier to follow.

Wow.

Wow wow wow.

I'm excited to see this now. You're telling me they didn't #### it up???

I've been trying to traverse that stuff, but it's tough to figure it all out. maybe I'm just not focusing enough.

At the risk of setting the bar too high and/or raising your expectations to the point where they won't be met by the quality of the movie...

Joss Whedon did not #### it up.

Quite on the contrary. He directed and worked on the screenplay.

Dude knows his ####. Prepare to be astonished.

And, as mentioned elsewhere, stay until ALL of the credits have rolled. All of them.

(According to Wikipedia, movie budget = US $220 M and box office to date = US $281.1 M. Opening of the US release today was 12:01 am.)

That is all I have to say about that.

From what I read over there, Dark Knight Rises, DC: New 52 and 10th Anniversary are single-booster expansions, i.e. CTD only. Chaos War and Batman are full-sized expansions with 5-figure boosters, but both will also include a CTD set.

I am promising myself that tonight I am going to bed at a decent time tonight. I have to be up bright and early tomorow to make a little extra money and it requires sleep, hydration, and food. None of wich I have done the greatest with this week.

I tend to have faith in Joss Whedon. I mean......when was the last time he disappointed?

I just don't have faith in the movie biz in general. Especially when the previews continually made it look like Transformers.

I haven't gone to bed before 11PM any night this week I believe. I really need to start changing that if I want to start working at 7AM...

I tend to stay up late on Friday, and sleep until noon or so on Saturday.

I am fairly certain a lot of that has to do with not sleeping throughout the week.

I go to bed at midnight, sometimes a little bit after midnight.

A lot of it has to do with my brain rationalizing that if I'm going to be at work for 9 hours out of my day, I'm going to try and match that amount with fun and relaxation.


....the math doesn't work.
