Is it just an ego thing? Do they do it just to show off their guns? Maybe tear the sleeves off their robes, throw some Copenhagen in their lip, and then go around breaking islands while drinking a PBR?
And where does all that lava that is always flowing around in Hades go? Ever been to Hawaii and seen the lava there? It's constantly piling up and forming huge messy piles of lava rock when it cools. Is that part of the punishment of Hades, having to clean up dried lava rock? #mytheon

lol if that's true, then he might win all the time if he plays Shinobi for the ps2 on super difficulty before every game (^_~) #nba

Don't ragequit kids! Learn from your mistakes and come back stronger - this applies to just about anything that requires any semblance of skill. #nba

To quote from Batman Begins "Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up."
Something that bugs me about this "everyone's a winner! Nobody loses!" mentality drummed into kids is that it offers no scope for improvement.
My friend dominated me in Street Fighter on the weekend by using Blanka and flowcharting. Instead of getting pissed off and not playing, I learned what I was doing wrong, stopped doing it and improved.
It's like when I was at school. Everyone always told me I was smart, and I managed o get by without doing any work so I believed them. Now I have severe motivational issues when it comes to trying to learn in a typical school (or college) environment and I've become an autodidact to compensate.
The only problem with being an autodidact is that most of the time your teacher is an idiot who knows nothing about the subject.
Tangential much? #nba

I sort of that take built up aggression and use it on my girlfriend, sadly she doesn't lose her power at ALL and I'm the one left whimpering before closing my eyes to indicate "losing power".

I actually forked a fireball so many times that it crashed my desktop. Did some 680 damage. Ahh, the good old days. #magicthegatheringtactics

The act of playing a card game and enjoying those mechanics and the game of chance that comes from a shuffled deck can be enjoyable to a lot of people, but the deck building and money sink aspect can be both daunting and frustrating. Divorcing the two gives us a card game... for the masses perhaps?
There are a lot of casual CCG players out there who enjoy the act of playing but can't handle all the stuff around it. Chess still has its fun without shoving extra pieces on the board. I like CCGs but I like my deck building aspects to be limited or else the pressure to keep up with new expansions and new counterdecks and all that drives me up the wall.
Hence the popularity of Dominion which has a very fixed smaller card pool to deck build from saving a lot of headache for CCG enthusiasts who can't handle 1000 cards or something. Call us casual but we still like cards with shiny pictures. :) #magicthegatheringtactics

In my book, an exclusive is only exclusive when you only have one option. Xbox and PC is still two options. But yeah.. go figure.. #magicthegatheringtactics
