#2 faurieth Apr 01, 2009 12:03:06	Reads more like a lame April Fool's joke. Messing with the forum colours is one thing. Messing with M:tG and Drizz't (who's not even that cool to begin with), is just a +7 Cup of Epic Fail.
#3 SongSooGumbup Apr 01, 2009 12:26:11	. . . and Drizz't (who's not even that cool to begin with) . . . That's why it's funny. I've only read The Dark Elf Trilogy and I liked Drizzt's character, but he seems like he's able to do a little too much than possible (even for a D&D game). He also has a strong die-hard fanbase. This is why I felt it appropriate to compare the card to some of the Chuck Norris stuff you see. In fact you could Google "Chuck Norris Magic The Gathering card" and see several similar jokes. I suppose this leads to the question: If Chuck and Drizzt got into a fight, who would win?
#4 faurieth Apr 01, 2009 12:29:15	You pose an interesting question. Drizz't with his oodles of superfantasy hijinks, and Chuck with himself. When you compare all those items, weapons, magic and that panther Drizz't has compared to Chuck and himself, you see a huge difference of power level. It's an easy call on this one, given just how much power one has over the other. Winner: Chuck Norris. Dark Elves are for Sissies.
#5 drnick Apr 01, 2009 12:34:21	You guys realize the card is making fun of drizzt right? What's with the over the top hatred of april fool's day? It's a little odd...
#6 faurieth Apr 01, 2009 12:35:20	I was just playing. What's with the over-the-top-complete-oblivious on April Fool's Day? :P

I suppose this leads to the question: If Chuck and Drizzt got into a fight, who would win? Chuck Norris. You see Drizzt's power source is fanboyism and angst, while Chuck Norris draws his power from memetic mutation, parody and awesome. That's three power sources to two, and faster draw rates at that. Also his card is better. Costs less mana, no multi color BS, and drops your opponent like a sack of bricks.

#9 dewman Apr 01, 2009 13:03:55	It's been a very long time since I've played Magic the Gathering but both of these cards are misleading I think which makes them nice April Fool's jokes. The Drowboy: If you tap him he beats *you* up not an opponent since "opponent" is not specified; only "your". Only when the kitty is around will he dual-strike opponents (one now and one in the near future) which are then eliminated. The Cowboy: Playable when there is only one other player since the verbiage is "the other player", not "another player". Now I remember why I stopped playing.
#10 quest-master Apr 01, 2009 13:11:38	I'd rather see Drizzt the Drow Ranger VS. Chucky the serial killer puppet. :D
#11 Seeker95 Apr 01, 2009 13:33:12	If Chuck and Drizzt got into a fight, who would win? Chuck. Drizzt is still bound by some semblance of the rules in the game, whereas Chuck defies the laws of physics even in real life.
#12 SongSooGumbup Apr 01, 2009 14:08:19	So, memetastic Chuck beats fanboyzic Drizzt hands down? Well, it's good to know that culture > angst
#13 akodokoji Apr 01, 2009 14:53:24	http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheAce This card is the Chuck Norris of Magic.
#14 darkless_one Apr 01, 2009 15:37:15	Not that Chuck Norris is an ignorant fanatical racist who shouldn't be glorified or anything.
#15 ssvegeta555 Apr 01, 2009 18:39:03	Can Drizzt kill two stones with one bird? I don't think so. And don't get me started about how Chuck can divide by zero. :D
#16 Steely_Dan Apr 02, 2009 4:14:08	Last I heard Drizzt was working as rough trade on the streets of Calimport. Chuck has colonized Mars, by himself.
#17 Seeker95 Apr 02, 2009 8:28:21	Chuck has colonized Mars, by himself. But for all the world's children. He's that magnanimous!
#18 DukeLukeofSev Apr 02, 2009 9:06:46	I hate the idolic worship of an actor. It's not even that funny at all....
#19 doneisi Apr 02, 2009 10:57:06	I hate the idolic worship of an actor. It's not even that funny at all.... He is also an accomplished martial artist with a great tournament record.
#20 Touchfuzzy Apr 02, 2009 12:51:28	I hate the idolic worship of an actor. It's not even that funny at all.... Its called PARODY. Man... why does no one have a sense of humor anymore?
#21 darksideavatar Apr 02, 2009 12:59:24	Important note: Chuck got beat up by Bruce.
#22 mock26 Apr 02, 2009 13:16:02	I hate the idolic worship of an actor. It's not even that funny at all.... "Chuck Norris facts" are not about idolic worship. It is about making silly jokes that just happen to be about this one particular actor. I personally think that Chuck Norris is a hack-job of an actor, that his movies suck, that he is a bit of a nut-job, but I love Chuck Norris facts because they make fun of his cheesey movies and TV shows in a fun and playful manner. And, I do respect Chuck for playing along with the Chuck Norris facts with a bit of grace and a sense of good humor.
#23 zocchihedron_dup Apr 02, 2009 13:18:38	You're all wrong: Bruce Campbell's Chin enters the battle, they both loose. The Chin is declared undisputed winner of the realm.
#24 DukeLukeofSev Apr 02, 2009 20:24:42	I know, but the jokes do get annoying when you hear them everywhere!
#25 Authw8 Apr 04, 2009 13:30:50	Oh my god, I just realized something... Only one person has the power necessary to make something as ubiquitous as Chuck Norris jokes are today. CHUCK NORRIS!!!!!!!
