    I have 3 X-Men and 1 5 deadly venoms in my bracket and some poor player shielded at 500 points. Their best cover is C-Storm level 80. They are so wasting HP and it makes me feel bad for them icon_e_sad.gif

    My question is will this be a blood bath to get the 1100 reward for Deadpool or will people stop at 1100 because they don't need or want torch. I just hit 1100 for the first time in Cat-5 so I hoe I can place well in this one.
    It shouldn't be as bad as Cat-5. Personally, I've got a 5/4/4 Torch, so I'll just be going for the 1100 prog cover, which should be enough for T10.

    Congrats on hitting 1100, by the way! Be warned that with less insane point inflation, there won't be quite as many juicy targets, though if you're only going for 1100, you shouldn't see much of a difference.

    Good luck with that bracket, though. With 3 X-Men and 1 5DV already visible, chances are that a couple more heavies are lurking in your bracket, which would make T5 quite difficult.

    Yes, that's what happens when you cheat and get caught.

    Any one what to guess what top 5 PVP score will be? Over under on 1100?
    Pah, 1100 isn't even enough for top 10!

    Spoit, have you joined yet? You seem to have the kiss of death like me so I want to avoid any bracket you are in icon_e_smile.gif
    Yeah, I joined last night to see if joining 2 days out is better

    It's a fusion cuisine, basically Mexican food as interpreted through Texas. It's probably the most common form of Mexican food you see in much of the US (aside from much of the West), though some more authentic Mexican restaurants are starting to become more common.

    It's what Americans generally believe to be "Mexican food," e.g. burritos, chimichangas, and other variations on a tortilla with cheese, meat, or vegetables.

    I don't like this implication that Tex-Mex isn't authentic - it's real Texan food and the beans/meat/cheese/tortilla dishes have been that region's cuisine since back when Texas was part of Mexico. Sure the chimichanga isn't a traditional dish, but I bet if they had deep fat fryers a few hundred years ago it would have been. There are just not a lot of fast food places serving mole out there to lower the opinion of those more southern Mexican dishes.

    I didn't mean to imply it isn't authentic (it sometimes is, sometimes isn't, like most cuisines), but that it is distinct from the food you'll find in Mexico. Most of the places in the US calling themselves "Mexican" are really Tex-Mex, and they should call themselves that. Texas hasn't been part of Mexico for 170 years - Poland was part of the Russian Empire more recently than that, but you wouldn't call Polish food Russian.

    No worries. I'm in australia, so I take whatever kind of Mexican I can get (mainly cal-mex). Polish food is a bit different - one because I don't eat it and know absolutely nothing about it other than it consists of meat and things stuffed with meat (sorry Malcoran, that's my stereotype and I'm sticking with it!), and two because I think (with no actual evidence) traditional polish dishes stem back further than the Russian times as well. Most Mexican food we eat today doesn't go all the way back to the Mayans and Aztecs - it is all heavily influenced by the Spanish.

    This is probably jinxing it, but the RNG has been really friendly to me last few fights. It's always surprising to look at my AP numbers after 2-3 cascades and see that I have enough for a Berserker Rage, Rage of the Panther, and Whales!

    Is it just me or has the confirmation bias cascading been turned up to eleven? I've seen some ludicrous cascades going on - for and against me. Played a match against a Patchneto team that got at least seven more matches off the initial match-3 at one point.

    The worst thing I see is when there are two match 4s and I got one and the AI hits the other and cause a massive cascade. It's gets bad at times where it will happen if a match three in the area in which I make a match 4 along the top of the screen. Started debating between making single match 4s and turning them into a match 3 instead.

    I know I hit Psykopathic, GuntherBloebel, and The Valeyard on the way up. Thank you for pts as I am trying to make it to that all important 1100 Progression level. Hoping you all were shielded! icon_redface.gif

    I'm shielded for a bit since I'm out of health packs, only 103 pts away from the 1100. After that you guys can feast on my remains icon_lol.gif

    Hit me up now since my points are high and I'm shielded. Afterwards I'm only looking @ Top 25 so my pts will be lower as I get hit after that 1100.

    Good luck forumites!

    Don't you have an alliance?

    We started one that we planned on expanding with friends,
    but now only 2 of us are really playing.
    So now we need to find a new alliance
