Dam Busters star Richard Todd dies aged 90 -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Dec 5, 08:23 1
- What's Dam Busters? Is that like MythBusters? -- nm - Redmond Dec 5, 08:33
What if Batman was the Joker? -- (link) - Remlik Dec 5, 08:13
Continuing the mouse spam: how do we feel about the trebuchet? are we fans? - TFox Dec 5, 08:12 10
- I think it's really a toss-up. if you get the rocketine though, you need the stone or dehydration base to make up for the stale cheese. -- nm - mafic Dec 5, 08:24
- I had the trebuchet for a while too, ultimately as you upgrade traps you upgrade cheese, which makes up for losing attraction bonus. - celedhring Dec 5, 08:18 1
  - I just upgraded to the forcefield -- nm - eag Dec 5, 08:19
- Have you checked out the MH Wiki yet? -- (link) - kelly Dec 5, 08:17 4
  - yeah, but it seems lacking on "once you get here, try x next". - TFox Dec 5, 08:21 3
    - The walkthrough gives you a good idea what traps and cheese you should use for each new area. - Krusty Dec 5, 08:22 2
      - So what you're saying is, the walkthrough, like, "walks you through" the game? Huh. - TFox Dec 5, 08:23 1
        
        *laughing* It's not as detailed as say a walkthrough for a video game but it's helpful. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 08:24
- I believe I had the trebuchet for a while. I think the attraction bonus is better than luck. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 08:15
- Spam is made out of mice? Gross! -- nm - Qale Dec 5, 08:13
Scrooge! - celedhring Dec 5, 08:09 25
- Nice! I think I'm missing two and I'm about to run out of gingerbread cheese. - Krusty Dec 5, 08:13 24
  - Im hoping at some point during this event that you can buy GB on your own instead of having to have friends gift it to you -- nm - eag Dec 5, 08:24 1
    - Word, I hate bothering people so I can keep hunting. Also, I want to collect as much as I can and - Krusty Dec 5, 08:28
  - I just sent you 2 planks... -- nm - kelly Dec 5, 08:15 1
    - Thanks. If you need more let me know. I really don't want to waste the superbrie+ on these mice, we'll need it all later I believe. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 08:20
  - I can't even make friggin gingerbread cheese. I'm not cool enough to have a hammer yet. -- nm - TFox Dec 5, 08:15 19
    - It seems you arnt needing GB - eag Dec 5, 08:20 18
      - I decided that $3 up front for a boatload of superbrie would reduce the chances that I'd get bored collecting common mices. - TFox Dec 5, 08:22 17
        
        You'll move on from the cheap mice pretty quickly but they'll always be around. - Krusty Dec 5, 08:27
        
        ...aaaand, Stocking Mouse. - TFox Dec 5, 08:25 15
        
        The thing is and Krusty is right you really shouldnt waste SB here - eag Dec 5, 08:27 14
        
        He can't smash things yet, seems like he has no choice. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 08:29 7
        
        I thought everybody started with the Hammer -- nm - eag Dec 5, 08:31 6
        
        oh wow, you're right! it said "no crafting" til apprentice. i thought that included smashing. -- nm - TFox Dec 5, 08:33 4
        
        (anyone want to trade SB+ for some planks?!) -- nm - TFox Dec 5, 08:34 3
        
        oh mother eff. i can't trade til apprentice either. penis. -- nm - TFox Dec 5, 08:37
        
        I can send you some planks and since you're low on gold don't worry about sending anything back. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 08:36 1
        
        I sent you 6, you'll get 90 from that. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 08:37
        
        So did I but I never had a reason to use the hammer until recently and so I never noticed when it becomes available. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 08:32
        
        I can't make gingerbread yet, because I'm still a novice. :) - TFox Dec 5, 08:28 5
        
        I use the mousehunt toolbar add-on, when I search for things it adds superbrie to me stock. - Krusty Dec 5, 08:31 3
        
        that's hilarious. i didn't know that existed. -- nm - TFox Dec 5, 08:31 2
        
        It also has a timer to tell you when you can hunt again -- nm - eag Dec 5, 08:38 1
        
        That's the best part of the add-on, otherwise Cuzzin Todd will beat you to it every time. :-) -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 08:40
        
        Yeh you can -- nm - eag Dec 5, 08:30
STIS On really tight deadline to finalize this graduation card to be sent to family and friends. Is this message ok? TIA!!!! - Hotkiss Dec 5, 08:08 6

  - done -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 5, 08:20

NY Giants Osi Umenyiora likely pulled from starting duty -- (link) - Remlik Dec 5, 08:06 2

- heh. "doodie". -- nm - TFox Dec 5, 08:07
Woohoo. iCarly movie tonight. (the I am a little girl nt.) -- nm - Qale Dec 5, 07:59

  - i don't think i said it was bad. does it feature sleigh bells? is it overly dramatic in places? sure is. - TFox Dec 5, 07:26 4
    - plenty of people do like them, yes... it's just not a good comparison -- nm - stewie Dec 5, 07:31 3
