Wes, one of the issues with The Crucible is that a player is largely defenseless against the special moves. - David Nov 5, 10:47 5

- and the "golden gun" for the hunter is like 3 shots, and then done. - groiny Nov 5, 10:49 1
  - Some of them are better than others. You can *miss* with the Warlock special. - David Nov 5, 10:57
- I find that ground punch is so overpowered for that game type. - groiny Nov 5, 10:48 1
  - All the supers are overpowered in Crucible as they are one hit deaths. The hunter supers, especially GG, require a lot more precision... - Shaun Nov 5, 11:24

  - My sister has four kids, and had them all after age 35. Got pregnant in one try every time. -- nm - loosi at home Nov 5, 10:56
  - Even if the late-30s woman still has eggs, younger eggs can be healthier. That's why people freeze them. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 10:51
  - I have a friend about the same age who just got pregnant after trying for 6 years. - znufrii Nov 5, 10:51
