What Order to Watch X-Men Movies?

Lisa has given the green light for my kids to watch the X-Men movies in preparation for Days of Future Past.

Here is the order I plan to watch them:

EDIT

I got the Wolverine Movies confused--I meant the one where he goes to Japan, not the one with Weapon X...Obviously.

5. Wolverine

Note that they have already seen the cartoon versions of X-Men, Wolverine and the X-Men, & X-Men: Evolution as well as read some of the comics.

What do you think if this order? Should they watch any of the other films?

Dead in Thay--D&D Encounters S18 S0

Character Building Week!

We have moved from Mercenary Market to Comic Quest in Lake Forest

We came up with a bizarre retelling of the Snow White story that involved an abandoned drow baby, a Naming Day Massacre, and a random pack of miners. You will have to watch the video to see if it makes any sense at all.

Brian is playing a druid this season, Scott has a paladin, Jack has some crazy DOTA wizard, I have a cleric, and new player Eric has a drow dagger master.

DM Alan will be behind the screen this season--he has an amazing knowledge of the rules & will likely run a very tight adventure--I am really looking foreword to it!

The store is very clean & has a great staff with awesome attitude. There is a Legacy Magic group that also meets on Wednesday so when attendance spikes in the summer things may get a little crowded--but this week with six people at the table things were just fine.

The shop is also near a lot of good food & coffee choices.

We are off to a great start this season.

Drive To Work Podcast #119

Drive To Work Podcast Episode number 119 is a great review of 1999--a fun year of growth for Magic-The Gathering.

Evan has the set with the CD-ROM game & comic book--not sure if he has the unique cards, but I plan on checking.

Good to hear Kai coming up a lot.

Wish that they still had a Junior division or whatever for kids under 18--think that is a very good idea.

Also, loved the story of the horrible play--good to hear that even pro players make mistakes.

Magic with a Bad Back

Another fun Tuesday Magic. I played my Simic Deck which still brings me great joy.

I went up against Preston who is playing monsters with protection--it was a fun fight. My back went out before round two so I had to scoop with a Prophet on the table...
