A while ago, I deleted my old hotmail account, as it was constantly being hacked and sending out spam to people. I have a gmail account that is secure, so I didn't need it anymore. Problem is, afterwards I realised that I had my GFWL account attached to that email, and now I can't log in anymore. Is there a way to reclaim my gamer tag and put it on another email? I can't play my copy of Arkham City since the key is registered to the old account.
I've just gotten back into MTG lately after a couple of years hiatus and I'm keen to start playing the other card games I was into when I was younger. One problem though...the only strategy/news/discussion site I used for any of those games before was TCGplayer. It's still fine for MTG news, but when I go on there now, it seems pretty lackluster. According to the dates on the WoW site, the last competitive decks they submitted were in early 2008 (the ones that come up for me anyway). I'm really looking for something in those games that is all in one place like MTGS is for magic. I can come on here after any break in play and immediately understand on the surface level what the most played decks are and why - that's something I've yet to find for the other games. I also dropped by Pojo.com and noticed that that's been reduced to just forums since I last went there.
If the only option is to just trawling through every source I can to try and catch up for each game, I will do so, but just typing each game into google right now is bringing up a lot of dead sites and nothing with the sort of centralised, informative nature of MTGS.
I think he's pointing out that pulling something out of your sideboard by way of the wish cycle is a far larger bending of the norms than bringing back an exiled card.
I'm pretty sure there is already a card that does something like this, but I can't think of the name. It's not unused territory, and I believe that one of the reasons given by Wizards that it is now called 'exiled' rather than 'removed from play' is that it is unintuitive to have cards interact with things that are 'removed from play'.
Its because of people like Paul Hogan and Steve Irwin why the world sees us like it does. I have never once in my life heard anyone seriously say "throw another shrimp on the barbie" but I digress...
How much better do you think it is to be internationally represented by Flight of the Concords?
But to just call it their gender is misleading when to 90% of the population, gender means sex.
I guess it varies by country and social climate, but I think at school I was taught the distinction as part of the curriculum. I take the above statement to be true in a lot of places, but certainly not all of them. There are some populations where the understanding that the two are seperate is present in, I believe, a far higher percentage of people.
I run a casual elemental deck sometimes, and I like to put Vigor into play using Incandescent Soulstoke and block with some of my other elementals, so that they get counters put on them. It makes a mean counterpunch next turn, and you get a 7/7 to take out their biggest attacker in the meantime. The trick of course is making sure that your creatures can survive the initial damage somehow. Briarhorn is a nice example of a card that you can put into play to block an opponents weenie creature, and buff another of yours so that it will survive blocking an opponents attacker. Both creatures will end up buffed next turn, and your opponent should have lost several of their creatures.

The thread is fine.
I can think of a couple of things that make me feel helpless, but not in the way that makes me go "Woe is me", more in the way that makes me very angry.
Being in the middle of crowds of people who are pushing in from all sides makes me feel helpless. I end up getting really ticked and shoving my way through.
People like the Westboro Baptist Church also make me feel helpless, because I know that there is nothing I could personally do to prevent the sort of things they do, other than going and physically ending their lives.
I guess the only thing that makes me feel and act helpless in a traditional sense is my love life sometimes. Just the feeling of never being able to find someone appropriate.
So I'm a bit overweight at the moment. I'm 6'2" and just about 100kg, and although I don't look fat in headshots or nicely taken photos, I have a gut on me which impedes me at sport, makes me too large for most of my pants, and makes me feel generally very unattractive. I've put the weight on in the last few months because of antidepressants, lack of exercise and a crappy diet.
I'm off the pills, and im going to the gym and trying to eat better, but as I've put the weight on over a year, getting rid of it is taking time. I keep putting off buying well-fitting clothes or doing anything to make myself feel good about my body, because I reason that I should wait until I've lost the weight. The problem is, that I'm getting around in loose t-shirts and other clothes that make me feel extremely unattractive. I have no clothes that I can go to a bar to meet some men or women in and feel good about myself, and I'm spending a lot of time at home because of this.
I've had a few female friends tell me that my weight isn't a big deal at all, and that I shouldn't have a problem with dating because of it, but I'm not so sure.
What I think I'm struggling with, is the idea that while it's all well and good to be improving myself, I have to be happy with who I am at the same time, and I'm finding that really difficult to wrap my head around. I don't want to be so content with how I am that I stagnate, but I equally don't want to be so unhappy that it sabotages my efforts to improve.
How can I rationalise being happy with how I am right now, but also being determined to improve myself?
I also meant the wording of it. And I never really studied determinism that well, I must admit. Also: I don't think it's a very popular theory around here.
I think most people with a keen scientific mind realise that determinism (whether it incorperates random quantum craziness or not) has to be the ultimate truth. Most just don't have the stomach to follow it to it's logical conclusion, because they find it too depressing to contemplate.
Come on guys. We all went through that rebellious "we're teenagers and we have rights!!" stage, but facts are, until you move out on your own, you're at your parents mercy. It's your parents house. Do as they say, or kiss your room and board goodbye.
And if you don't like your parents' rules, either fight them on it, or lie to them. Both valuable skills for later in life (although lying isn't always advisable.)

Any suggestions?

Duh, thanks!
I haven't played the deck in a while and had forgotten that detail. No wonder it worked so well!
