My post got eaten by "router?  you have a router?" just before leaving for work

EDIT: And isn't Magic that game where it's much easier to do infinite damage than to do a fixed, very large number?

Yes, yes it is.

The combo in question essentially throws stuff onto the stack, then while it's resolving, doubles the amount of stuff on the stack.  Repeatedly.

It is an infinite combo limited by the number of cards you have in hand (which by the time the combo reaches that section, should be 30 cards).

It works by using Kiki Jiki, Minion Mirror, and Doubling Season (as well as Opalescence, making all enchantments--i.e. Doubling Season--creatures) at its core.

The final steps include using Karakas (legendary land) to untap Kiki Jiki.  Rootrunner (part of a prior Soulshift combo) to return Kakras to the top of your library, Wargate to play it again (duplicating it a billion times with Minion Mirror and Doubling Seasons, as it counts as a creature thanks to Nature's Revolt).  Then Reborn Hope to get the Wargate back, Deja Vu to get the Reborn Hope back, Twincast and Recap to repeat Deja Vu, and finally, Holistic Wisdom to get back Recap.

Each of those spells is also duplicated a billion times when cast due to Mirari (or Rings of Brightearth in the case of Holistic Wisdom), and all of them count as instants due to Vedalken Orrery.

Mana is obtained by sacrificing a tiny fraction of the duplicate permanents created in each step to Phyrexian Alter (or alternatively, playing Black Lotus, letting March of the Machines let it count as a creature, getting it duplicated by Minion Reflector, multiplied by a billion Doubling Seasons, then before Minion Reflector resolves, sacrificing March of the Machines; only the original Black Lotus dies from having 0 toughness, the remainder resolve due to the Last Known Information rule*).

*Here's two very useful points about Minion Reflector triggers. #1 We don't have to pay the 2-mana until we get to the triggered ability on the stack. #2 If the creature Minion Reflector was copying leaves the battlefield before the trigger resolves, it STILL makes a copy using 'Last Known Information'.

And minions that do the work for you, dungeon keeper style. You still gotta plan it out, but it get made by the minions, eventually.

I want a game where you ARE the evil feral nonsentient creature (Think playing the Alien from all the AvP games), but with modern graphics, and with the ENTIRE game devoted to it.

I would also love that. The first Alien Versus Predator (2000) sorta had this to an extent. The Alien gameplay was mostly built around "stealth" and "stalking" in the harder difficulties. Shame the later editions forgot about this and basically had the Alien as mindless charging.

Also a game where you're being stalked by a monster, like the original Alien, where your fellow crew members are slowly being picked off one by one. Either singleplayer or multiplayer where you have to do the standard monster movie tropes like having to split up and do set tasks alone.
I haven't seen any game really attempt this and they either go for the isolation survival horror or the shoot everything jump scares. Basically I want to play one of those red shirts in monster movies who manages to do slightly less stupid decisions.

Garry's mod has a game mode like this that is quite fun.  Haven't played in years, but one person plays as an invisible monster, who can only be found by its shadow.  The monster has some special movement abilities, and can only melee.  The rest of the players are soldiers with limited ammo, and flashlights. 

The player that kills the monster gets to play it in the next round, which helps keep the soldiers from bunkering up too much.

Iirc, the mode is called stalker or somesuch.

Are you sure you're not thinking of The Hidden, Vactor? It sounds exactly like what you're talking about, but it's not a Garry's Mod game mode, it's a HL2 mod.

A game I wish existed is basically this:

A realistic permadeath zombie MMO, with building, crafting, driving and others.

I can't think of anything else, to be honest.

[Vactor]

Looks like its the same gameplay, but the one I played was infact gmod stalker.  It's a fretta mod game mode.

That sounds a bit like what DayZ is aiming to be eventually.  There's not really building or crafting right now though.

A game where women are actually portrayed with some modesty. I mean, sure, I'm a guy, and my hormones and stuff make me like it, but the logic part of my brain is saying, "WTH is she going to to a full firefight, nearly naked" And it really ticks me off that is happens in EVERY single game I have ever seen. I mean, really?

What games are you even playing? Ones that are ripped straight from the animes?
Most gritty and realistic/brown and grey shooters have everyone in pretty much solid suits of body armour and such. All of Valve's female protagonists wear at least as many clothes as the men as far as I remember, apart from maybe the Left4Dead zombies, but I haven't actually played that so I can't tell you for certain.
Although then again, most FPS war themed games don't even have women because the animators and texture designers and such are a really lazy bunch. Or they know that their primary audience would probably just have t-bag RP sessions or something stupid like that.

Yes, there are exceptions, but really, they are blotted out by the massive number of games that are ridiculous.

RPGs, basically. Y'know, chainmail bikinis and steel armour with breast cups.

Oh. Yeah. Fair enough on that.
Really, why would you put breast cups in armour? It's just not... well, each piece would have to be even better fitted than they already would be. It's all kinds of impractical and also a weaker point.
Then again, at least most RPGs have some obligatory unremovable undergarments.

Spoiler: Totally how they work (click to show/hide)

Wait no this idea was retarded, why did you do this. You should’ve just wrapped that tapestry around yourself. You hope this paint is washable.

Is there anything that I cannot reference with the amazing writing of Sir Kazerad?
The answer is no.

The joke is that most RPGs have underclothes of some sort drawn onto the character texture, and the comic was referencing it by having the protagonist apply paint-on underwear. Having them irremovable was already pretty strange, so them being actually painted on isn't really too bad of an answer. I guess.

I see.  The setup wasn't there.  Just the punchline.
