There's one particularly annoying character in Episode I who makes me cringe just about every time words issue from his mouth. His presence makes the movie rather unwatchable for me.

I refer, of course, to young Anakin. My left eye has begun twitching just remembering an errant "Yippee".

When you buy a $1 scratch-off lottery ticket you get a piece of nicely-printed card stock coated with some sort of scratchable surface that would probably cost more than $1 for most people to individually produce. Ergo, it doesn't matter whether you win or not with such a ticket - you haven't gambled because you got *something* that was worth the money by a personally meaningless metric.

Interesting. I earned it once and had absolutely no use for it on that character. I looked at it in the costume creator and contemplated various costumes that I might use on a new character incorporating those pieces, but since they weren't available starting out they remained useless and I never bothered chasing them again.

I was happy when it became potentially available for everyone from the start. It didn't kill a piece of the game for me, it brought a dead piece to life.

When you say that it bothers you irrespective of the actions of others, but then outline why it bothers you in a manner that incorporates the actions of others it makes your statement seem self-contradictory. Of course, if you didn't include the potential actions of others you'd just be highlighting your own kooky hang-ups (and I've never met anyone who doesn't have a kooky hang-up or two, so that's not meant to be an insult). Nonsense isn't necessarily sensible, no matter how reasonably we try to present it - so maybe it *is* exactly like religion or politics...

Potentially true (and perhaps even likely), but I wouldn't say it's a wholly logical conclusion. Indeed, I'd say getting upset over such a situation would be pretty illogical in the first place.

The ugly situation could be avoided entirely by not putting exclusive items in the Super Packs - in which case they become more like grab bags, which are a way to get non-exclusive items on the cheap in random assortment. (Oh, Crystal Caste, how I loved your assorted dice grab bags...)

I liked that one as well. At this point, however, I can't be more than cautiously optimistic about a new Popeye movie.

An argument that many institutions engaged in an unsavory practice for purportedly beneficial reasons might make.

That's another reason I would much prefer to get them in a single package.

I, for one, find it more acceptable than the current state of affairs.

I'd say that such is a clear sign that having exclusives in the Super Packs is an... unfriendly move.

It had Clancy Brown playing the Kurgan, too.

The fact that the protagonist was expected to win is about the worst argument one could make to support it being a bad movie. That's true of most heroic action movies. Anyone who went into Die Hard seriously expecting McClane to be the one who dies hard was an idiot. Anyone who expected Conan to be defeated by Thulsa Doom was truly naive.

If I'm only taking two of the Leadership toggles, I tend to take Assault and Tactics and skip Maneuvers. But even if I went for Maneuvers I'd probably take Tactics - one of my pet peeves is the Blinded status and I like to make darn sure I have some protection from it.

I would've preferred ending on a sad note with a loose end or two, to a happy ending with the loose ends tied up that felt very forced.

Yeah, that was one of the things that really irked me. Way to devalue that whole heroic sacrifice, guys.

But I guess it wasn't much of a sacrifice anyway, since everything almost immediately went back to normal because... uh... a wizard did it. Yeah.

It was an excellent season right up to that bunk ending. I had to wonder if they ended it that way in case it wasn't going to get a second season.

I probably would've noticed that it was a Newsie when I got down to it. It's a similar style at a glance, though, and I'm afraid I don't spend a great deal of time admiring LSZ's hat(s).

Given how they've gone about it so far, they'll probably never put out content to solve the issue. Indeed, experience shows that instead they'll more likely put out content that compounds the issue.

I can't help it. Lately, the head-voice of your posts has been Lumpy Space Princess.

That doesn't solve the issue, it just puts it off to another day.

The goal, and thus the people who create the goal.

Thanks for the update, LSZ!

Expecting to not *have* to rerun it on the same character to accomplish the goal its targeted at should be fair, however.
