Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

By Drasnighta, in Star Wars: Armada

My ******* Civ 6 CE wasn't delivered. I'm kinda pissed about this. I didn't pay $10 for same day delivery for it NOT arrive the same day as it was released. Never again am I ordering from GameStop.

6.5/10

Wait, you ordered from GameStop? Does your alternate reality still have Blockbuster Videos, too?

All silliness aside, I'm sorry to hear you were let down. I'm just surprised at the continued existence of GameStop in some places.

Why in seven hells were you ordering a pc game from gamestop?

I always just buy it on steam. All preloaded and ready to go so when a release happens it happens instantly.

Amazon sold out of the Collector's Edition cuz they listed them for like $70, and GameStop is paired with Firaxis so I had to drop $110 it. Otherwise all my games come from Steam.

What really sucks is the lack of articles...

Ah, CE.

Apologies. That is a serious disaster.

Yea now this day got even worse. Time to play Stardew Valley all night and drink strawberry ginger margaritas....

Getting close to the big 1. 0. 0.

It's like losing your first settler to barbarians. You know you shouldn't have moved to that tile adjacent to a mountain and river. Too much risk but that mid game science bonus explosion the tile would provide is to tempting to avoid. No matter how tempting gamestop may seem don't do it unless you're buying a used game in person!

I am very sorry to hear this though, man i'd be really let down if that happened to me. I hope you can play it soon.

Ok so bets on, do we expect to see this wave before New Years now?

So no armada article, I guess we can discuss new Luke Skywalker expansion for imperial assault... parry looks busted! +1 to defense rolls?!?! Geeeze! /sarcasm

Before Christmas, but barely by a week I say. Everything will be on the boat come the First week of November. Arrives around Dec 22,23. They better send way more than what people want cause if its even 2 weeks before Christmas they will sell out quick!

~4 Weeks on the boat would be unheard of.

No. It has to go on the slow baot first. And the slow baot is slooow.

Armada stuff is now the oldest stuff at the printer(ok it's tied with a few things, besides CC). Logic says they should be next...but...

Logic is no longer acceptable here. Lol

So much for CC having a quick production turnaround because it's just printed and cut cardboard...

Logic need not apply.

Civ 6 is glorious!!!!!!!! Better than I thought it would be. Some gripes but in a world of games not complete upon launch it's gold!

Wait, you ordered from GameStop? Does your alternate reality still have Blockbuster Videos, too?

Do you realise that you just branded Australia an "Alternate Reality" ? :D

Your teddy bears climb eucalyptus trees and are always high, you tell me if that's not an alternate universe? Oh god...what if the US is the alternate reality? Our water drains one direction Australia the other. Up is down, down is up!

If the shoe fits...

Beat me to it.

Well, I mean.. Sure.

You guys can keep living in the Bizarro Reality...

Where there's no more Blockbusters.

And every piece of Flora and Fauna are not completely inimical to human civilisation...

Because that's Boring...

You live in Boring reality.

(And I know I do too, now. So I am somewhat of an Authority on it :P )

I'm disappointed in you guys. All the X-Wing and IA stuff moved to "On the Boat" while the Armada stuff didn't. I expected lots of doomsaying and barrels on fire in here. Shame on you.

We're numbed down by down. What's another few months of delays?

I mean, really.

On all Fronts, 2016 has been a crap year.

Getting something nice at the end would feel like putting a Cherry on top of what is actually just a Whipped-Crap Cake...

No, let 2016 be done, and over, and gone...

THEN, we can start with something Positive in 2017......

I mean, no doubt, it'll go downhill from there...

But still.

2016 is indeed turning out to be a crap year. I just fractured my ankle playing hockey 2 nights ago. Had surgery this morning. I'm not supposed to weight bear for two weeks.

And I have tickets for a certain event in Minnesota in two weeks!!!!

I hope my opponents don't mind playing a cripple hopped up on Tylenol. :P

Hell yea! The game must go on. Best of luck.
