A mtg cube; all sleeved in a nice box. Endless replayibility with friends with a few updates every year.

It's the dream.

Does anyone read into this bollocks?

May as well measure my head.

Give the idiot a peas prize, not like he can read.

Poor victim of entropy.

I believe it was a transitional time for warfare. Muskets weren't much better than earlier technology, their strength was that you didn't need much training at all to use them as opposed to a bow or sword.

In earlier wars, if often came down to whoever broke and fled first, a smaller army fighting for beliefs rather than a Lord could beat a bigger army.

But they undervalued newer technology that could cause havoc by relatively untrained people. It wasn't the same as WW1 where this really showed, but it was definitely on the way.

What a nice comic. I'm sure people will want to push the metaphor too far, please don't.

I'm totally with this for the first half, then it made me feel dumb. I am a victim of being the chief household cook and having my ancient gear tossed without being replaced, but I've never bombed Iran. Is it one of those comics just not aimed at me?

I went to a London university. Most the departments were essentially as diverse as the population, but business undergrads were 80% black British, and everyone knows they hate queen. Is this the conspiracy we've been warned about?

(This is very clearly a joke I hope and I have utter respect for everyone.)

To be fair. Most of the pyramids were raided far before the British took an interest and whatever they held has now been lost to time.

I've only used one once and it was an old model, absolutely hated it. Although I've heard they're great now.

We have a whistle kettle. It's just as fast and prettier. Although definitely less efficient.
