Okay...Fair enough

Fear not, ogres. Commandercool is here!

So, I'm starting to hit the wall again in my alarming consumption of podcasts. Does anyone have anything they can recommend that has a big archive and/or frequent updates to help keep me entertained at work?

I call BS on your BS.

At my venue, we regularly have 3 people show up week after week. The judge doesn't take a prize most of the time and he plays the odd man, so we have Double Fellowship which means we all go home with an LE.

Sure, every once in a great long while we get another person or two and one or two of us miss out on an LE or two, but we generally don't want all of them and we trade out to each other. We all go home happy.

Because of this, the prize really doesn't affect build.

There's even one guy who will outright tell you that he would love to Power Game, but he knows it doesn't fit the venue, so he doesn't do it.

But, BS on my BSing your BS because we're the exception.

I believe that when LEs are on the line, it should always be sealed. It'd help the venue and it's the best way to make it fair.

Do you know who Bob and Tom is? Ever listened to their radio show? VERY FUNNY

Youtube. I used to stay entertained at work listening to documentaries and stuff.

There's one we can agree on. It still won't get me to want to go out to a venue regularly, but I have tended more often to show up for sealed/marquee events than for constructed ones.

Have you hit the This American Life archive?

Too many sealed events could alienate the players with less money to their name, though. I know I would personally stop playing at a venue (And have) if they started running too many sealed events. Plus, it always seems like the same people have all of the luck when it comes to packs. Dngergrrl (almost) always pulls crap for sealed (Not counting when she pulled Lamppost Batman at C4TC) while I almost always pull good figures.

Yeah, really, the best way to handle it is to eliminate LEs as prizes. (Well, it's what works best for me, and seeing as how I'm repeatedly assured that the prizes are considered to be no big deal to various groups of great guys, it shouldn't be that much of an issue.)

I'm glad Adult Swim is renewing a show that should be renewed. I'd be very happy if they'd let Tim & Eric slip into oblivion. I'm tired of quickly reaching for the remote to turn the channel as soon as that comes on.

I had planned on using more sealed for our upcoming tournaments, but our venue doesn't have enough bricks left. I'm including a number of Super Boosters as prizes in addition to the LE's. I'm hoping once we get done playing for Super Boosters, the LE craze will have died down a bit so people aren't as prone to playing cut-throat teams to win them. Fortunately, I don't think we have anyone I need to seriously worry about.

I think I've heard a few episodes. If I'm thinking of the right show I found the hosts obnoxious. But I'll go back and download a few more I suppose.

I'm not always in front of a computer, which is why I like podcasts. If I am though I'm always on here.

Pretty sure it's buried somewhere on my Itunes history. I'll blindly download a few dozen more episodes. I like that show, but I forget about it.

Very excited about Venture Brothers being picked up. I'm not a big Tim & Eric fan, but I know people who are and they've sent me some incredibly funny bits from it. Given how cheap it must be to film I won't mind if it keeps going forever and produces mostly garbage but occasional really great stuff.

There was one sketch in particular that was an infomercial for a guy who ties paintbrushes to his cats and makes art.

Edit: Here's the clip. As much as I don't usually care for this show, I think that's hilarious.

Edit edit: Apparently the Realms filters a certain word that makes the link not go through, but you can probably guess it if you want to see the video. It's a slang term for "cat".

New Cap teaser.

I say we close these threads at every 1000th post and start new ones, all under the "Ogre" banther.

You good sir, have made my day.

I used to listen to Bob & Tom every morning years ago when I worked in a deli. They had some funny stuff going on.

I HATE Tim & Eric!!! The show is moronic!!! Even Tom Goes To The Mayor sucked big time!!! Get those clowns off AS...

Fellas, keep yer paws off my Heather Thomas poster. (Places poster over Suga's Kathy Ireland poster.) It's vintage and took me forever to find.
