So I'm bored, and I have a minifridge full of beer. Let's go down the rabbit hole.
Ask me random shit.

@harrison5371: Not sure. I haven't followed the competitive Magic scene for a long time.
@Scytec: African or European?
@VampireArmy: A woodchuck would chuck no Chuck Norris, even if a wood huck could Chuck Norris.

What kind of beer? how many have you had so far? what is the most ridiculous thing you have seen on this website (like someone legitimately claiming Lhurgoyf is better than Tarmogoyf, or other things like that)

I now have extra income to spend. What alcohol would you recommend. I'm tired of bad beer and cheap whiskey.

What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?!

Gidgetimer says... #16
julianjmoss you should try Kracken rum, it isn't top-shelf but it is a good smooth drinking rum, and I don't even really like rum.
November 17, 2014 11:25 p.m.
julianjmoss says... #18
Gidgetimer i'll try that. All i usually have access to is fireball and jack daniels both of which arent the greatest quality (fireball isnt even real whiskey).
November 17, 2014 11:32 p.m.
The rabbit hole runs deep here.
Oh, and what's the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything.

Epochalyptik who would win in a fight, you or yeaGO?

!Azure124: Ban? Not really sure. Nothing really seems offensively and unanswerably broken right now. I do hate control player effects, but they're few in number and not egregious. Unban? Primeval Titan. I really like that card and what good it can do for the format. It's a shame to see it banned.
@nemesis101: Popcorn isn't my favorite, but I guess if I have to eat it, butter is fine. I prefer caramel corn to any other kind, though.
@Gidgetimer: Both. I happen to have Kraken right here, now that you mention it.
@EvenDryke: That's a tough one. I might have to come back to that. There are so many choices, especially if you're considering names and effects. Phyrexian Obliterator, Act of Authority, Overwhelming Stampede...
@CommanderOfBolas: Right now I'm on stout 2 of X.
A long time ago, someone wrote an article about his K-Red deck. I hung my head in shame at that one. The article, the writing, and the discussion were quite the rollercoaster.
@julianjmoss: Depends, what do you like to drink?
@lemmingllama: Infinite. Infinite goat combo.
@Ohthenoises: 25mph.
@miracleHat: Dunno. Surprise me.
@JA14732: 42.
But seriously, live to help other people. It's the noblest and most fulfilling thing a human can do.
@Behgz: Sup?
@julianjmoss: Not sure. Probably me. I'm a bulky 210. Pretty sure yeaGO's a bit lanky, but he could be a scrapper.
November 18, 2014 12:08 a.m.
I'm a buck eighty and tough to wrestle but 210 is rough

Ok then. I am trying to hook up my computer to a 2013 bravia TV internet for mirror screens. Do you know how to do it?

do you feel anything when you see Earthbind and Siege Wurm right next to each other?

Epochalyptik says... #30
@miracleHat: Should be able to connect with VGA or HDMI and set the mirror in display preferences. Shouldn't be any more complicated than that.
@nemesis101: That's basically my weekends. And occasionally my weekdays.

@GoldGhost012: You mean the same ones I have? No idea.
Not really sure where I'd live. I want to do some serious traveling at some point in the hopefully-not-too-distant future, so I might know the answer then. I do love the cold, though. And Europe.
@aeonstoremyliver: So many choices. So many.

@GreatSword: I was chosen one day, and my life has never been the same.
I'm a technical writer (and also kind of policy writer) for a public ivy institution.
I'm not really sure I was hoping for any one question, but everything so far is kind of tame for this community.
@Fulcrum: Big enough.
@adventfaith: No. No it is not.
November 18, 2014 2:17 a.m.
gasp
For this community? What are you trying to imply?!?
November 18, 2014 2:31 a.m.
He's implying we're not yet hardcore batshit crazy.
Yet.

What's the craziest shit you've ever gotten yourself into?
November 18, 2014 2:49 a.m.
Something I've actually been curious about. When you leave comments about moving threads, do you copy/paste the comment or have you actually written it so many times that it's second nature?
November 18, 2014 3:17 a.m.
If you had to replace your brain, and you couldn't choose Hans Delbruck or Abby Normal, who's do you choose?

How does my card-throwing skills help me to become a better player?

@vampirelazarus: In your time of need.
@GoldGhost012: I haven't gotten into any really crazy shit.
There was the one time three cops showed up to ask me to kindly remove myself from the top of my university's memorial archway. I guess the suits don't like parkour if it's on their property.
There was also the time a bunch of my friends and I got hammered at a party, piled into a car (the driver was sober), and got pulled over in three blocks. One of my friends (and longtime interests) got out (I had two flasks on me), nodded to the officer, and walked off.
Pretty sure that was the night the two of us made out in a cemetery and stumbled back to my suite.
@Fulcrum: I could probably type any one of them in under 10 seconds with my eyes closed. I have them set as keyboard shortcuts on my phone, too.
@almerican: I take it that this question assumes that I'll automatically inherit all of the knowledge of the other individual. I suppose the question becomes more interesting as you add parameters and caveats.
It's a hard question. For the most part, I'm capable of learning most of the things I'm interested in learning, so any choice based on knowledge would only have the benefits of expedience and experience. In this situation, I'd probably choose Christopher Hitchens. I greatly respect the work he's done, and he's one of my influences and a (late) model intellectual.
If I also gain the neurological function of the other person's brain, I might choose a savant instead.
@NorthernRaven: Play from ten feet away from the table. Throw your cards into position on the battlefield.

Have you ever engaged in fisticuffs? If yes, were you the victor? How did it start?

Epochalyptik says... #47
@nemesis101: Thankfully, I have not. I carried a knife while I was in college, and I've certainly entertained the idea of fighting someone (who hasn't?), but I haven't ever found myself in a situation where such action would be warranted.
November 18, 2014 4:46 a.m.
Do you play any games other than magic, if no have you seriously considered any?
November 18, 2014 5:26 a.m.
Epochalyptik says... #49
@Azure124: Eh. I mostly play video games, but I'm trying to ditch them in favor of reading. Much more productive and relevant to my anticipated line of work.
I know a lot of players who are huge board game, RP, or tabletop players, but I don't find the same appeal in those things. Settlers of Catan is probably the only other non-electronic game I could reasonably say that I play, and I play it very, very rarely.

Have you ever been a Magic judge? Have you attained a level of judge-ness?
