PaloLV Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It's literally the only podcast I've ever listened to. Had to figure out how to download it and work the podcast app because I had never even opened it before on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juriel Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 When is the next podcast coming?!?! Who is the Star Player?!?! Who will Juriel unleash his fury on?!?! The answer to all of the above is 'when Xander reads his bloody PMs'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notafunhater Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Screw those guys, Xan and Juriel. I love your podcast. I've listened to all of them, and it's literally the only podcast I've listened to. I've been waiting impatiently for when you cover elf-types as they are my favorite teams to play, but I know it will be a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, even blood bowl coaches that do not hate on having fun approve! Honestly you guys are great. I've forced my wife to listen to a few blood bowl podcasts in the car with me and you guys are the ONLY ones she doesn't mind. That's an endorsement right there! You could use it as a tag line: Coaches who don't hate fun and women who do hate blood bowl approved! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2 2 4 3 2

Crunky Chops Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I have all the episodes on my phone and quite often listen to them again when I'm facing an opponent that has been covered. Fantastic podcast and I really do think none of the others are even close to the quality and professionalism as yours Was that enough praise to get you working on the next one!?

meebee Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 kinda professional work with all those special effects. you seem to be prepared to get the important things done. good guests. good to listen to other peoples point of view. some fun. you don't take yourself too serious. thats a plus, too. despite my bad connection and a broken rig in the past, i have not yet been able to listen to all those episodes. but those i have downloaded already, i did listen to them at least twice each.. it is not, that one can't find similar info written down in some tactics advisor somewhere. it is the way you (and your guests) do provide that info and its attachment to occ that does make it my most favorite podcast. good work. keep it going.. can't wait until amazons are done.

notafunhater Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I actually really like Underworld. Just takes some time to get core skills you need to be competitive, seems like they get better and better the higher TV they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
Doomy77 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 There was an interesting comparison to Nurgle made by Paul Deacon aka Seborg when he talked Underworld on 3DB. He said Nurgle are the passive mutant team because they are stronger on the opponent's turn than their own, while Underworld are the active mutant team as they are strong on their turn but weak on their opponent's. It would be interesting to hear you guys contribute your own thoughts on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4

notafunhater Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 That makes a lot of sense, actually. With being able to take Mutations on normals, Underworld has a lot more flexibility to develop 'flavor' skills to make up for or exploit situations, and they rely on that flavor. They are also faster than Nurgle in addition to being weaker, meaning they are more reactive rather than trying to use pitch control and area denial to dictate the game flow. UWD Blitzers are arguably the best ones in the game, able to take every skill they need on only normal rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Verbal_HM Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I seem to have missed an epic pissing war... I kinda met Chase at the last NAF and everything... He was on the table next to me for game 6 vs Nonumber... <subdues another epic rant> Give me those address's, let me loose on their forums, I'll serve them a piece of my mind... Ok, maybe don't...

xanderv Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Meh, no need. Basically everybody apologized before I even had to defend myself. Well, the Pitch Invasion guys didn't but I hardly care about their opinion anyway, so...I could give your THEIR address. It'd likely be useful to have a Verbal as a guard dog...you let him loose and he drowns the opposition in insults before they even have a chance to react. Love it.

Juriel Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I just assume people are clique-ish assholes by default. That means I can only be positively surprised.

It would be interesting to hear you guys contribute your own thoughts on that. I understand the principle of the argument, but while passive Nurgle abilities like FA and DP (and tentacles to some extent), are annoying for opponents, they are more often situational and certainly not 'strong' comparatively to clawpomb spam, which remains Nurgle's active threat, That makes a lot of sense, actually. With being able to take Mutations on normals, Underworld has a lot more flexibility to develop 'flavor' skills to make up for or exploit situations, and they rely on that flavor. They are also faster than Nurgle in addition to being weaker, meaning they are more reactive rather than trying to use pitch control and area denial to dictate the game flow. UWD Blitzers are arguably the best ones in the game, able to take every skill they need on only normal rolls. Nurgle also take mutations on normals, and pesti's have exactly the same skill options as UWD blitzers. You can argue the toss on the difference between a UWD blitzer and a pestigor. Pesti's get regen, which is very nice for a killer that is likely to be targeted by other killers. (inb4 pesti's aren't blitzers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straume Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I suppose the main problem for Underworld is that they are kind of a bash team which should go for the 2-1 grind. But with a bunch of poorly armoured skaven and some squishy goblins they will struggle a lot to keep a number advantage against most teams.

King_Ghidra Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 btw really enjoyed the discussion on the podcast. Smoked was a great guest, and the opinions were well argued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomy77 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 If you want to do ClawPOMB spam I'd say Chaos are far better at it than Nurgle. Personally I think Nurgle development really needs to be more rounded than that for the team to be successful in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4
