I am in for any and all fantasy sports leagues you cats can get going. May not be terribly good at it, but it is fun and I have to get better eventually right?
That said, Less Dew Eet!
Also: Netrunner? Sounds strangely Cyberpunk. Please tell me more.

It's the remake of an old TCG, just that it's no longer a TCG, but you get all the cards in one box. Still, you can build different decks out of it. And it's VERY cyberpunk. It's a runner trying to hack into a mega corporation and steal their plans for secret projects (and the corp trying to finish those projects before the runner gets to steal them - or to kill the runner outright), with one player being the runner, the other the corporation.
@Macius, my favorite restaurant is without a doubt Amor, (an Indian restaurant near my house). It's a midrange restaurant with the best food ever. Their vindaloo is better than the vindaloo i got in India. They always hook me up with extra stuff too. Maybe I eat there too much even... my favorite chain is taco bell. Hands down.
@Netrunner, hmmmmm. Looks nice.
Was the ccg better?
I've only followed college football this year and that's only because the team I've grown up cheering for is probably going to go all the way. I feel like I haven't been able to post as much in-thread because I don't do the whole football thing. Lol.
Historically speaking, when the Lions fail(which they do, we always have the Wolverines.
@Digi lol, anything goes here, anything goes.
@Macius There's a Mexican restaurant in Florida where I lived for a while, called Gringos. Privately owned, seems crappy at first. But, the food. Was. Amazing.
@Raz Hey buddy!! Only one way to learn, right? I've played a few times before, but started getting the hang this year. Baseball is my sport, though, I know EVERYONE, and I have a good gut for it.
@Tera Netrunner sounds awesome. I'm gonna check it out. It'd be nice for me to be good at a game. I have to face it. I'm just not good at MTG. I'm like 12 - 37 on MWS. IRL, I've won one tourney that had more than 10 people. GTC prerelease.

There's a difference between good and successful. Not every good player takes down a Grand Prix - because there are so many more good players competing. Also, you have the pros mixed in, who can devote way more time to Magic than us normal players.
What I like about the Netrunner revamp is that you always have all cards you need available. There's no such a thing as a chase rare. If you want to build that fancy Jinteki deck with ALL the ambushes, you just need to grab your box.
@ Digi: it's the same game. Almost. I'm not sure whether the factions make it better or worse, as I haven't done too much deckbuilding yet.
@ restaurants: my favourite unfortunately closed down two years ago. Made me fall in love with Hungarian food.

Even using MWS as a deck building tool, I don't even win FNM's. I've played at my smaller LGS here, and occasionally go down to the Game Room in Toledo. I've never made top 16 there, and they always have 32 - 40 players. I think the best I did there was 2 - 2 - 1, I'm really just not good.

I have applied and have been denied because I did something foolish a couple years ago. Even though I seriously doubt that the circumstances leading up to this foolish instance are being considered. Maybe the next time a staff member threatens me, and when I tell on them to other staff and they laugh at me, and mockingly tell me "that is I seriously feel threatened I should call the cops", I won't take it so seriously when someone else threatens me. No matter. It's not like I hadn't spoken with the kids parents already with them telling me to be on the look out for that kind of behavior on top of the other then recent staff interaction.
It's kind of a slap in the face. But you know... whatever. No point in even trying to argue or really even question about it at this point. You'd think two years of solid commitment and dedication as well as having great relationships with anyone and everyone I interact with would have out weighed one incident. Even though I acted harshly, given the situation the staff and the kid's own parents had put me in, I still think I did the right thing by not getting the dude in trouble. Should have just stopped trying to reason with the kid and just told on him and maybe even called the police, I guess.
I would really like to be a clans mod or see someone who really tries do it though.
What will really grind my gears will be if another person who isn't active or even very active in clans becomes a clans moderator. That always kind of bugs me when that happens. We seriously need a dedicated mod for the council, or at least make changes so we didn't have to rely on them so much. Which I seriously doubt could even happen, given the lackluster participation within the council and no one really stepping up to make sure some clans even have the opportunity to participate.
EDH'd a bit. Played a 5-way (you have to kill the two guys seated opposite), and managed to get a draw. Circu = combo nightmare. Had Field of Dreams and Circu in play, 2 cards in hand, 2 lands untapped (basically, I was screwed the entire game, then caught some discard to boot). Oona decides to Vampiric Tutor up his missing combo piece in his upkeep. 'Draw?' Me: 'Nah, I'd like to Cyclonic Rift your Rhystic Study.' - 'So, I get to draw a card?' - 'Yep, and I get to exile your top card. Since you're the active player, your trigger goes on the stack first ...'
*insert victory dance here*
