Live playthrough of the fast action dice rolling Kickstarter game Star Fighters Rapid Fire by Alley Cat Games. Back Star Fighters on Kickstarter . About Star Fighters: Rapid Fire combines the excitement of real-time dice rolling with tactical starship combat. Each player hops into the cockpit of their own starfighter and duels it out in a dog fight to prove who is the superior pilot. The game plays in multiple modes 1 vs 1, 3 player free-for-all, 2 vs 2, or a solo mode where a single starfighter attacks an orbital space station. In the real-time phase all players roll and re-roll their command dice simultaneously, and assign them to the various functions of their starfighter. When a player has fully charged systems and is ready to act they may end the real-time phase by hitting the big red button and yelling, “Fire!” This means all players must cease rolling and allocating dice and move to the tactical phase. In the tactical phase players then alternate activating the systems they hav

Extreme Coupons: TV Show Draws Extreme Backlash


When has couponing gone too far. I'm still new to couponing but I can tell you what I saw on TV was ridiculous. There is a right way and a wrong way. Currently couponing is getting a bad wrap from news and media. Recently even Yahoo! Finance posted an article.

Coupon Dos & Don'ts
Still, as wary as I am of coupon mania, I'm willing to concede that there are some smart ways to use coupons -- as long as you're buying something you actually want or need. Many stores still have lenient policies. Here's some advice for tactfully getting the most out of coupons and some coupon etiquette Do's and Dont's.


Do Know Your Limits. Save time, energy and embarrassment at the register by playing with the rules established by retailers and manufacturers. Visit their Web sites to learn if there have been any updates or changes to their coupon policies.
Do Ask Friends and Neighbors to Leave Aside Papers. Some people actually subscribe to newspapers for the articles, not the coupons. It's perfectly acceptable to ask these friends and family members -- politely -- to set aside the coupons for you to pick up at a later time.

Like I state at the top of my page you DON'T have to go to the EXTREMES you see on TV. Those individuals are boarder line hoarders in my opinion. Some of these individuals LIE, CHEAT & STEAL. They use coupons on items that don't qualify. They have learned the coding on coupons and use multiple coupons on a single item. They steal newspapers and go dumpster diving, both are illegal in most states. The list goes on just do a search on it.

They key difference between becoming obsessed and a hoarder and using coupons wisely is to follow simple rules. Don't buy more than your family can use in 2-3 months. I personally don't even buy more than my fiance and I can use in 1 month normally. Don't buy 200 of an item just because you get a $1.00 overage on each item. While yes that means you get $200 in free cash what are you going to do with those 200 bottles of aspirin, and did you leave any for others. For more rules check my Getting Started Page.
