You knew they would make a card of me sooner or later. That was just sooner than we expected.

Later,

LEGITIMATE REASONS TO HATE STU

1. Every morning, Stu spams the realms with irrelevant posts about his personal life and political views. I can only assume that this is because no one ever wants to talk to him in real life.

2. Stu's Metagame articles are equally asinine. It's been almost two months since we had a real Dave Humphries article. Metagame no longer has Development articles, but they still have Stu articles. What the hell is going on there?

3. Stu double posts constantly, sometimes for a gag, but usually because he either wants to bump one of his threads or he's just too lazy to edit his last post. That's just poor netiquette.

4. To maximize the amount of traffic his threads get, Stu deliberately posts them in General Discussion regardless of whether or not that would fit more accurately in another area of the site, then cries nitpicking when they are moved. This is called trolling, and it is also an example of very poor netiquette.

5. Stu dismisses all criticisms as jealously, which is well known as the easiest defusing argument for anything. Therefor, no matter how much he becomes universally despised, he only gets worse.

ILLEGITIMATE REASON TO HATE STU

I am the son of Stu conceived from a premarital relationship that he doubtlessly no longer remembers. Embittered by the father who abandoned me, I have dedicated my life to everything he stands against, protecting corporate America, and proclaiming the virtues of war and hatred to all who will listen.

To read more about the adventures of Stu, check out Kristopher Straub's Modern Humor Authority. Only there, they shaved his beard, gave him glasses, and renamed him Lance Sharps. You can't miss him; he's in every strip.

You used the adjective, it should be the noun.

Actually, jealous is an adjective, jealously is an adverb.

Just checking to see if you were awake. Cool.

Now I know you're kidding. Your mom is hot as hell, I could never forget her.

(Oops, bad netiquette again.)

Biz, you know I have a great deal of respect for you as a thinker and as a source of mythic knowledge. Please, in all seriousness, tell me what kind of an article you want me to write. I'm all yours, take me. (That goes for everyone here. Just tell me what you want.)

about army deck that are crazy...and fun....i sound sooo noobish. lol.

Stu Barnes once played Combat Protocols calling "Jews" as a joke. The result is what we now call the Holocaust.

Been there, done that. As much as it is my favorite way to play, as much positive feedback as I have been recieving from it, I would love to expand my repertoire and satisfy even more of the community. If anyone is interested in giving me constructive suggestions, contact: [email protected]

Stu: Just add in Mark IV's to IG army builds and you got yourself a deck.

o well...stus gone awall on army decks........sad sad day... =0(

omg, did stu really call jews on a combat protocols? hahahaha thats friggin funny. i dont mean to offend any1 but thats just funny.

Oh, how I yearn for the Metagame.com of days long past, when the game was first beginning. Back then, every article was written by an Upper Deck staff member. Every day, we were given inside information as to how the cards were made, what they represent, what aspects of play they are meant to invigorate, and hints of things to look forward to in the future.

Then they started letting actual players write articles and everything just went to hell. What was once our window to Upper Deck became hopelessly mired in generic, uninspired number-crunching. Instead of insightful analysis on what the game is, we get nothing but endless analysis on how it is played.

It's not really the writers' fault. Playing the game is all they know. But if I wanted articles about that, I could get them anywhere. Metagame used to be something really different. Metagame used to be all about inside information that you couldn't get anywhere else, and that's what I think it should be about again.

Stu, writers like you just get in the way of that.
