Snakey: I will have to look into that one. We are ending the marathon with zombies (same as how it started) and watching Army Of Darkness. Not true zombies, but lots of undead, so I'm counting it.
Under two hours until 2015 for me. Then tomorrow lunch with my family. Then Saturday is my nephew's birthday! Super fun times.

Happy New Years everyone! One of my business partners is in town for a few days, so I've been entertaining him and talking business with the partners for the past few days.
Happy New Year's! Or, for those of us who daily dabble in the Federal Fiscal Cycle, welcome to the 2nd quarter of 2015! I've been in 2015 for a little while there.

Just checked the streaming app. No free anime masterpieces (go figure, since it's distributed by the House of Mouse). Oh well, guess I'll have to buy them for not cheap.
On a Magic related note, I thought I'd try something new for Standard besides Abzan Midrange. Played Esper Planeswalker Control and went 2-0-1 at tonight's tourney. Ended up getting 1st since no had a perfect record and I had the best OW%. Tied vs Sidisi Whip 1-1 but went 2-0 vs Mardu Midrange and Grixis Control. Haven't tried it against the more aggressive builds, but it has some good Sideboard options. I'll post the list later if you'd like.
I've tried Esper control and an aggressive start is your achilles heel. Jeskai masturbation will also kill you soundly... If you don't draw a ton of removal if not mass removal, Rabble Red will mow you down hard. Depends on the meta tho...
I actually used Shaheen Soorani's list. The only change I made was swapping one of the sideboard Nyx-Fleece Rams for a Whelming Wave since I only had three of those sheep (and the 'Wave acts as a pseudo sweeper). I like how it operates but as I said I haven't had a chance to test it against Rabble Red, Jeskai Combo, or any of the other fast-paced decks. Those archetypes are definitely in the meta, I just didn't face any of them that day.
The sheep are so good tho... They hold back aggro for days while stabilizing your life. I actually run 3 sheep main... and 4 Drowns main. Rabble Red and Boss Sligh are both really big here, so I face them often and even with 8 sweepers main, it's hard to combat how ridiculously fast of a start they get. Tho the minute I land an Elspeth, the game is over because those decks will likely be out of gas and Elspeth just makes dudes for days.
Anyways, I created another Trap Room... on Sporcle this time. This one is different from usual in that physical activity is not required... though Aurora would probably say that if you get stuck, you need to stand up and do three star jumps before typing "PASS" to move on.
I am looking to finally buy an Archangel of Thune now that she's gone down to like $10, but now there aren't like... any auctions for one... And Buy It Nows are more expensive...
And now we're missing one mythic from the set, but it will likely be a poopy red, black or gold mythic. I'd be really surprised if it was another colorless mythic.
I've been in two (in groups of 6 for the first, 5 for the second). We completed the first one, but failed the second. Though the second one was made more difficult by the fact that it was dark, and we had to either complete the whole thing with the use of a small flashlight or find the "alternative light source", which we didn't do.
Sometimes some clues don't help very much, although some things are kinda clever.
I don't think the one I made on Sporcle is nearly as difficult, since a lot of things that can be done in a big room can't be done on just a computer screen in an image. But then again, I am limited to 20 minutes on Sporcle and maybe 20 slides is too much for 20 minutes. Though one person out of 25 so far did manage to complete the whole thing.
I've tried the trap room and have yet to finish the whole thing in the allotted time. But I will no doubt try it again at least once. Inventive and entertaining as usual .
Do you remember which rooms you had trouble with? (19 seems to be the hardest one.)
Though to be fair, a lot of this seems more like a logic puzzle with some bits of room escape thrown in, rather than something that's all room escape puzzles.
I was hoping for better art on Alesha, Who Smiles At Death, but oh well... The only card with awesome art so far is like... Temporal Trespass... And Ugin...
EDIT: I have $80 is ebay bucks... what should I buy? I was thinking free box of Conspiracy, but there aren't any that cheap. Was also thinking another bishoujo statue, but I already own the ones that I want...

Hm... has anyone here been in a Room Escape puzzle before?

The concept was okay, but there were still several things that required more developing...

I've been playing one of my Christmas presents--Borderlands the Pre-Sequel!
I also have Dragon Age: Inquisition waiting in the wings.
We're all still on the mend around here, about 5% better every day.
