Someone linked the Tim Tebow chronicles up in here yesterday and I read it instead of working for a few hours and it was pretty good. The beginning was especially great. The ending went off the rails a bit into poorly-thought-out science fiction land but was still satisfyingly melancholy so I liked it.

It is probably particularly good if you have some inkling of who Tim Tebow is (he is a remarkably good terrible football player), and have the standard level of American awareness of Canadian football (which is to say, you know it exists and have heard they only have three downs and that's all you know about it).

It does take a long time to load, and has to be read using that loving interface they're using, but if you can just let it pull down however many unnecessary hundreds of megs of data it's trying to shove down your browser's throat, it's OK. Don't try to read it on a phone.

Broken Loose posted:

Depends on the suit. In the original Mobile Suit Gundam, the Gundam was made out of lunar titanium which was a tremendously stronger material than what other MSes were made out of at the time. Suits prior to it were made out of alloys of steel. Robots in this storyline continued to be made out of titanium alloys for about 40 years in-universe until somebody made a ceramic composite that was cheaper but lighter (because beam weapons didn't care about how strong your armor was, but being faster allowed you to avoid them, and ballistic weapons had grown out of favor).

In Gundam Wing, the grunts were made out of a titanium alloy and the Gundams themselves were made out of a super alloy called Gundanium from which they got their name.

In Gundam Build Fighters, they're made of ABS plastic because they're literally model kits.

Regular Gundams are 1:144 scale, right? So you could use N scale train accessories. They would be a little small (N is around 1:160) but it wouldn't be too bad. If you use a bigger model you could also look at HO (1:87) or O (1:45) scale train stuff.

Here are a couple sites with N-scale stuff. There is actually a dizzying array of this stuff, including 'Kids having snowball fight' and 'people mooning passing train', so you can look around and really put together basically anything you like.

Are you kidding? A tier 1 standard buy in - you know, the approachable ground level format - is approaching like "40k army" expensive now.

You could buy full tournament lists for two warmahordes factions for the price of dark jeskai last I checked (I don't follow mtg finances that closely anymore, though)- you could probably buy every X-wang mini before hitting the same price as two tier 1 standard decks, let alone modern. They've been reprinting modern cards for years and I doubt the format average buyin has dropped by 33%, let alone actually not gone up.

Serious, how the gently caress is any OOP driven format supposed to be reasonable to buy in on when the secondary market is so loving bananas with actual in print, high supply cards? Nothing is going to come down in price when the pigs are this face deep in poo poo at the trough.

Also Leperflesh you know stores crack 40-75% of the initial supply of boosters to sell as singles, right? So basically there is positive EV on cracking ten thousand boosters, if you can reduce friction in the system by being a retailer.

Leperflesh posted:

OK, highlights from the GW six-month report effortleperpost:

First, understand that this is reporting results from May to November, 2015. That's the most important period for Age of Sigmar release and revenues, but it's also the less-important of GW's two six-month periods: like most retailers they sell more stuff during Christmas.

The report is not bad. I mean that: almost all of the numbers are only changed a little from the previous May-Nov period. Currency fluctuations can legitimately be blamed for the very small (think 1-2%) changes in most of the numbers. GW did not spend an inordinate amount more on Cost of Sales, it did not see its revenues fall precipitously, there were no scary numbers anywhere. GW seems entirely capable of continuing to pay its 20p semi-annual dividend, which is the most important number for its major investors; the other being Earnings Per Share (EPS), which is actually up very slightly, from 14.5 to 14.9.

A few tidbits worthy of note:
-GW's licensing revenue more than doubled compared to the previous May-Nov period. This is probably due to releases of new videogames; vermintide wont' be on there yet, but some of the mobile games and stuff. It's still under 1.5M, and I've seen numbers from years and years ago that were triple that; but the next period will include some bigger titles like Vermintide, and Warhammer: Total War is coming up soon. Overall I'd expect GW's licensing revenues to be good for a while; four million pounds a year or so per year in new licensing revenues will more than offset the quite small declines we're seeing in trade and retail.
-GW's business in most geographical areas is OK, but it is collapsing (particularly in Trade, which is sales through independent retailers) in Australia and New Zealand:

But be careful when reading these numbers. All of them are reported in GB Pounds, which means that the different periods (the columns) represent different sets of exchange rates. For example, the US dollar has been rising against the GB pound:

During the May to November period of 2015, the US dollar was significantly stronger (and continued to strengthen) vs. the GBP, than it was the previous year's May-Nov period. This means that, looking only at the Trade revenues, while GW made 8.7M pounds for this period vs. 8.2M pounds in the previous, US sales were probably actually lower, as measured in US dollars. (I can't say exactly how much lower because I'm not sure how often or when GW converts currency; does it continuously convert its US sales profits, or only bring over hunks of cash every six months, or what?) I can say confidently that this higher number is not a sign that sales in the US are growing. (On the other hand, the Australian dollar is actually weaker vs. the pound in 2015 vs. 2014. So the loss of revenue from Australia is actually overstated a little bit, too. It's not a huge difference, though.) What is important from these numbers, though, is that none of them are profoundly different.
-GW's online sales ("Mail order") are up modestly; but the most that can be attributed to the website is about 400k pounds of increased sales.

And, the Big News here: it isn't the financial report at all, but rather, the guidance given in the highlights and interim managment report. Understand that guidance is a company's way of setting expectations. The idea is, you tell your investors as soon as you can, whether they should expect good, average, or poor performance at the next report (and why). The stock price should adjust according to those expectations. Then when you release your results, assuming there are no surprises, there's no reason for a panic sell-off (or crazy buy-up) from the results. Investors expect guidance and while I'm not sure if it's actually a regulatory requirement to give it, I know of no publicly-traded company that entirely avoids giving guidance for its upcoming reports.

GW's guidance is that its December sales were disappointing.


Given the May-Nov period's pre-tax profit was 6.3M, this means GW expects its Nov 2015-May 2016 pre-tax profit to be about 9.7M.

GW's 2015 annual pre-tax profit was 16.6M. So GW is announcing that it expects to have made slightly less profit this year than last year: and, last year's profit was itself a drop from the year before. The drop is pretty small, but you generally want to see the companies you invest in growing, not shrinking.

I expect GW's investors to mostly ignore this announcement. The share price may fall a little, but GW will probably keep paying the expected dividend. What GW's investors don't know or understand, is that the company is seeing declining profitibility despite absolutely slashing costs, in an environment when a number of its most important competitors are enjoying rapid growth. GW's investors don't know that because none of GW's competitors are publicly-traded companies with publicly stated, reliable financial reports. We in this thread can gather anecdotal evidence from what we see in game stores and what people are playing at conventions and tournaments, but that's not the sort of information that investors pay attention to or give much credit.

Conclusion: GW is far from bankrupt. At its current rate of decline, it can cut costs and maintain profitability even while it dwindles in size. The company could sustain itself for decades. It is still not an attractive aquisition target. It still has zero debt, and in fact makes a few tens of thousands of pounds a year in profits from the interest it earns on its operating cash reserves. Kevin Rountree is not going to be fired. Age of Sigmar has not killed the company, and isn't going to kill it.

JerryLee posted:

Fair enough; I thought we were just talking about getting as cheaply as possible to the point where we can pretend to play the game at its full scale, since we were using terms like "buy-in." But I think that's a point that needs clarification: are we comparing the prices that you need to play the game effectively, or are we just comparing what each manufacturer will sell us in shrinkwrap for $XX?

Along those lines, and I think this is what Spiderdrake is also talking about, trying to defuse the claims about Magic's buy-in by saying that you can technically play the game with an event deck is (perhaps unintentionally) disingenuous because an event deck simply does not allow you to fully play the game on the level that people are talking about when they talk about the several hundred dollar decks. You might be able to take games off the people at an LGS with decklists full of planeswalkers that they don't actually know how to play, but that's like saying you can beat some nerd's 2500 point Forgeworld army with the models from a battleforce box (probably the closest comparison to the event deck, even if they cost 2-3x the price) if he doesn't know how to play them either and spends his turns driving land raiders in circles while you shoot him up. In neither case have you "bought into" the game in the sense that anyone else is talking about, so it's not that useful a comparison, no matter how much I applaud you for smacking the smug out of some nerd with more money than sense.

Gareth Gobulcoque posted:

To be fair you can reasonably compete at a fnm with a $20 budget brew, even when your fnm is chock full of top tier decks, because there's enough variance and their decks aren't enough better than yours over 4ish rounds to definitively assert their statistical dominance. Bigger events, much less so. Either way the price for a top tier deck in any format is loving absurd to me. TCGs. I dunno, man.

tallkidwithglasses posted:

It's more like WotC and the big secondary market retailers have a codependent relationship- WotC wants them fostering a player community and buying lots of cases of product, while the retailers also want the players but make their money on both new unopened product as well as singles, which can be very profitable but requires a lot of inventory to make work. It's a big investment for a store that could very well get horribly devalued if WotC starts releasing boxes of tournament staples.

Vifam episode 2 review, by boom boom boom, age 11

Episode 1 ended with the last shuttle leaving the surface of Creado to escape alien attack. Episode 2 kicks off with it arriving at the space station in orbit. Every ship they've got is being filled with civilians and fired off towards the nearest human settlement, Beruike. They're out of space ferries, so they decide to use the Jenias, a deep-space training ship operating with less than a skeleton crew. The civilians, including the kids we met last episode, the professor and his wife, and the Monolith, get on board and the space station is attacked, so the Jenias is forced to launch immediately, without it's captain. The aliens shoot up the Jenias a bunch, but it's eventually able to go to full speed and lose them. During the battle they lose several of their fighting robots, because the aliens are somehow able to predict their evasive maneuvers.

When I say the ship gets shot up, I mean, seriously. They don't say how many people died, but it's a lot.



So the episode ends with Jenias on course to Beruike. Severely under-crewed, there are only 32 people on board. Ten are children.

I am excited for some Battlestar Galactica stuff. I was planning on watching one episode every other day so I wouldn't get too far ahead of anybody, but I might jump it up to one a day.
