Generally, when one tries to make a card of themselves, then they've already committed the most fatal flaw known to man.
I have to disagree on this, if you know what you're doing. Making a card of yourself is an excercise in practicing humility and understanding that yes.. you can be destroyed with Terminate. And the caffeine addition? PotN is quite the addict.
As for Geek MP3s? I recommend something so totally horrendously off the wall, ether
Well many of us have made our own user cards. PotN is one who has not made one for the coffeehouse... I made mine last thread...let me check now and see if Its in the first post....
Nope...its not in the HugATron post...so here it is once again (I know I messed it up a bit...dont have time to make it perfect do I?)
I got a letter saying that I'm invited to go to Japan for 2 week in September of 2007!!!! I would be so happy if my parents allow me to go!! Thing is my parents wouldn't be there, and I would be there only with the group. It is some thing that I got recommended for by a teacher, and I got chosen to go with a group of other kids from my county. I really hope I can go!!!

Wow that totally kicks so much ass Shinobi! I hope you get to go too... makes anything I say look ordinary tho. Anyway, good luck with the parents on that. And in the meantime brush up on your japanese.
As for today itself for me, I can't say I'm too disappointed. Just snagged a pre-order for Xenosaga Ep III for 40 bucks thanks to an employee's discount and my fantasy football draft went really really solid.
And Priest - You don't really need Photoshop to make yourself a user card. You can always use Magic Set Editor to make it or you can just PM me what you want for your picture and abilities and PT, color, etc and I or someone else here can make it for ya.

Yea what CA said is true... thats how my card above was made, just by using Magic Set Editor...That program is just fun to see how the cards would play out in rough drafts, if I pick up my set again (which i just might, the work i had to do stopped me at around 80ish cards) I make the cards in MSE and then clean them up a little in Photoshop...
@ Shinobi: wow grats on that! Thats a great thing to hear, i wish i could go to Japan lol.

Hmmm ... I never got MSE. I should, shouldn't I ?
Lol. Hmmm ... I don't know what I'd make myself as
If someone could make one and surprise me with it ....
Alright, guys. It's that time again. Time for some more
Geek MP3s ^___^;;
This week's Mp3s are from a very popular game that's been talked about a lot in the Coffeehouse lately; namely, Katamari Damacy. The tracks today have been selected for their quirkiness and musical quality.
There isn't a lot to say about the Katamari Damacy soundtrack, except that it's surprisingly awesome. Even though every single song on the sountrack from A to Z is composed for pure weirdness, they all come out sounding like a stand-out single from a popular J-pop singer. The soundtrack is a joy to listen to no matter what kind of musical mood you're in.
The selected tracks are Katamary on the Rock, the main theme of the game, The Moon and the Prince, a funky first-stage melody, Lonely Rolling Star, a J-pop-inspired piece, and A Crimson Rose and a Gin & Tonic, a jazzy tune which is one of my favorites.
I've included lyrics for each song, translated into English. Here they are:
"Katamari on the Rock"
NAAAAAAAA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NANA-N'NA-NA-NA-NAAAAAA
Don't worry, do your best!
In a picnic-y mood, feel so good!
What a wonderful afternoon!
Off the limits insolence until midnight Yeah!
Ball it up and roll it around, I love you, always smile for you
You're my only Love Moon, so we've gotta hang in there!
Com-presssssion, com-presssSION!
With my uniformed t-shirt
Hand-knitted muffler and
And heart-warming dashing around
Playing in the sun! Say goodbye!
Everybody clump together and spurt it alllll out
On a day like this, we'll dance, we'll sing,
I'm the leader of the collective though
It's my waaaaaay, It's my waaaaaaay
NA-NAAAAAA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAAA The Katamari Damacy (Repeat 4x)
Drunk with a peaceful feeling
Looking up to the shining heavens
Ah, that head is so wonderful
Ah yeah, the party's getting all riled up now!
And as we do this, it's as if there's a big band staining you in color
Finding some kind of reason, I want this get this party started, so
Roll up and clump up!
NA-NAAAAAA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAAA The Katamari Damacy
NA-NAAAAAA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAAA The Katamari Damacy
"The Moon and the Prince"
I sprinted, I twisted,
I tried to run about everywhere
I spun, I was spun,
I rolled into anything I could find
I was attached, I felt included,
hey! I just picked up so much stuff!
I tried to avoid it, I tried to flee,
But the power was too much, came crashing down on me
I tried to push it, I tried to pull it,
At the end of my rope, I tried to cast it away
I crashed, I snapped,
A huge thrill ran through my body
The goal was endlessly far, but I couldn't stop pressing on
Forever rolling on, I grew a lot as a person
I noticed many things, and everyone became as one
While smiling faces flooded the town, a petty evil lay hidden in the shadows
Check it up, I funk it up
Everybody shut up, come and follow me, yeah
Check it up, I funk it up
Everyone follow me like your life depends on it, come on
I pounded on, but I lost heart
No energy left, I fell into despair
I tried to sulk, I was down,
With a heart full of regret, tried to make the tears tumble down
I thought about it, rolled down on the ground
Looked at the sky and it brought back my calm
I stared and stared, kept it always in my eyes
And the moon that floated there, it was so bright
Got bigger and bigger, hoisted up step by step
Till it was under the great big stars
I kept on going, got some cooperation
And put in every ounce of all that lovely strength
I felt the beginnings of an impending crisis, stood up,
blew the walls off of my heart
A free mind and an overflowing soul,
I gave my spirit a heart to live in
Combine our power, and we can do it,
everyone comes to accomplish one great thing
Now we're equal, we understand and admire each other
more than any time before, the people around me have grown larger
I don't wanna hear any negative talk coming from your mouths!
It may be tough, but we can't stop now!
We'll draw a peaceful vibration in an arc across the sky!
We'll create an object that won't fail to compete with this planet!
"Lonely Rolling Star"
Laying in the sun
Brilliantly bright
My heart will
Swell and grow sunny
Those two eyes
Right down to the pupils
Are like sunflowers
And their seeds
A lover's chat (the stories told)
Pile up (and roll over each other)
A clumped-up bundle
An entanglement
Being
Together
Is absolutely
Necessary
Except you are drawing out your important dream
Until you're finished, throughout it all, I'll be here waiting for you
You're lonely rolling star
Come on, never stop standing still!
You're lonely rolling star
So, face forward and keeping going!
A sky of stars
Sparkling and glittering
Like confetti
Waiting to congratulate you
It invites
Sweet
Painful
Thoughts
The thoughts that I've embraced roil and dance in the night sky
All of a sudden I want to lend a hand, to deliver myself by your side
You're lonely rolling star
Don't ever give up!
You're lonely rolling star
Don't forget to call sometimes!
You're lonely rolling star
I want to come to you, right now!
You're lonely rolling star
Ahh, with that last sigh,
I'm spilled over the limit
Computer voice: Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely...
Next month, shall we meet at that place?
You're lonely rolling star
Come on, never stop standing still!
You're lonely rolling star
Remember me, okay?
You're lonely rolling star
I can't keep on waiting!
You're lonely rolling star
So face forward and keep going!
"A Crimson Rose and a Gin & Tonic"
When you a wish upon a star
It comes to visit you, the katamari
We're dreaming, dreaming, baby of this dreamworld
So everybody get inside, the katamari
Until the day we all turn into stars
You should reach out to it, the katamari
I'd like to chant some magic spells
Oooh-wah-dooby-doo-wa!
Everybody's all so happy, in the katamari
[Lots of scat]

Alrighty! That was an undertaking, heh. Hope you guys like them.
Sure, Alacar. That's why your namesake card from Academy is as broken as a Ming vase under a mausoleum roof ^__^;;
Hey, that card comes with the territory. That set is powerful, and the Legends are meant to be above the curve for a reason. I want them to be chase rares. As for the card itself, it can die to all kinds of things. It's only BAH-ROOOOKKKKEN outside of Academy Block constructed (Urza Block loves this card)
ethersphere!! What about Que Sera Sera?? My mom and dad have fallen in love with that piece!
Katamari FTW!!
Hehe, I wanted to post the entire soundtrack, to be honest, Alacar. I had to leave out some other good songs, too. Hell, if everyone likes the Katamari music enough, I'll post a part two in a couple of days with the other vocals =)
*Swelter* I think perhaps we should move our furniture around so the computer isn't in a corner of the room on the side the sunlight always hits. It's always a good fifteen to twenty degrees hotter right here than it is anywhere else in the room, and that SUCKS.
I have to go looking for a soundtrack I never thought I'd touch for Photon's little sister's birthday present. Trouble is, it's an American game that isn't Guild Wars, so there probably won't even BE a soundtrack. Hell, if I haven't seen it yet, it probably doesn't exist.
Honestly, ethersphere, I can help you upload more--I've got the soundtrack, and can supplement even more, as well as We Love Katamari music!
Post 333? Cool beans.
You really should jump on AIM or Yahoo or MSN more often, ether. I'd love to chat with ya?
So, what do you people think of Academy's plot? Or have you avoided reading it, to keep the surprise when it's finished? Please PM all comments, or spoiler them.
Well, I have the entire soundtrack to both games myself. I just didn't want to flood everyone with music is all. Originally, today's Mp3s were going to be Xenosaga 3, but that fell through because of some annoyingly faulty servers >_<;;
Currently working on red cards for Unnamed and about to hand the computer to someone else so I can work on Wasted City, but I will be around some time this weekend/next week. I'm gonna be busy with BL too, ugh >_<;;
my old mouse is dying. It's all gummed up inside with age and cat hair, and i've taken it apart and tried to clean it out, but now it's just all loose and inaccurate.
So I went to buy a new one. Got a real nice optical cordless mouse, got it home, right out of the package it's left mouse button was broken.
Takes me an hour to bike to the computer store and back, so needless to say it's one too many trips to make in the heat.
Also, the Polish deli was out of Chocolate Plums but they had Sulze real cheap. $4.99 a pound. I got some for my roommate who misses his favorite old country sausages something terrible.

| I'm sure there's an off color joke in there somewhere, but I beg your solicitude in not pointing it out.
Ok shameless plugs aside.. (yes i know there's more of you in competition, but I needed to advertise myself and Arguas )
I just bought 3 new games, and returned Jak & Daxter and The Sims! Got: Radiata Stories, Dragon Quarter (Breath of Fire) , and Lord of the Rings : Third Age !!!

Actually, you've given me a good idea for Mp3s. I just need to find the lyrics for Danica.
Nope...its not in the HugATron post...so here it is once again (I know I messed it up a bit...dont have time to make it perfect do I?)
Makes me feel like I should have one made
Since I don't have photoshop hmph ...
Yay! MP3s
@Shinobi, have you looked at your extendo lately?
I got a letter saying that I'm invited to go to Japan for 2 week in September of 2007!!!! I would be so happy if my parents allow me to go!! Thing is my parents wouldn't be there, and I would be there only with the group. It is some thing that I got recommended for by a teacher, and I got chosen to go with a group of other kids from my county. I really hope I can go!!!

YAY!! Hope you can go shinobi
