Community

I thought it would be nice if we could have just one thread (this one!) where we, as a community on this part of the forum, could talk about whatever we liked, be it DoTP, Magic in general, or other things.

Just like anyone else I wouldn't want this forum covered in off-topic posts, but I figured that if it was all in one thread then it's not going to hurt anyone.

The thing is that I believe a lot of people here only come to this part of the forum, because it is the friendliest and most pleasant. So to be told to take our topic to another part of the forum defeats the object, because we specifically want to talk to our community here and not to the general people browing the entire forum.

I hope that would be OK with everyone? We could then chat as a group without worrying that we'll get spanked botties and frog marched off to where our mindless drivel should properly be posted in the forum. We often get off topic here and it's really enjoyable to go off at tangents and involve everyone in whatever strange discussions come up, and that can happen freely in this thread. I hope that the members here and moderators would be happy with this?

I would like to open the proceedings with something hilarious I've been concocting:

"Being based on history, the stages of the game are based on actual battles that actually took place in ancient Japan .

So here's this Giant Enemy Crab .

...

So what I'm gonna do is flip this crab on it's back, and attack it's weak point for massive damage ."

[I guess I should explain what the heck that is about for those who haven't heard of the phenomena! Here's a link for you.]

I think it's a frames per second issue - if the camera and the tele are at the same fps setting, the flicker disappears.  Though it's been a long time (college) since I had any involvement with recording a monitor on camera, so I may be misremembering.

Just use magic general for general magic topics, or the rec room for non-magic topics, that's what they're for.
 

Exactly, you miss the point Rudolf. If we post it there, we're not posting to our community here. I don't go to those sections and I'll bet not many people here do.

Here's my random contribution: I don't love Halo Reach like I want to.  I'm such the Halo fanboy, but I dislike most of the maps when in combination with the armor abilities (the size and scope of a lot of the maps aren't well suited for sprinting, for example, which shrinks the maps unnecessarily).  Hugely disappointing.  I'm still playing it a bunch, but it's going to get replaced as the disc in the box way sooner than Halo 3, which sat in there for almost 2 years, give or take a day or two.  I've been jumping into games of Monday Night Combat and Toy Soldiers (both done by local companies) when no Halo friends are on.
