A question, if I may - What makes it Core Set: Salvation and not Core Set: Alacar? This is just yours, right, and not something that you were requested to make for the site? The way you've presented it, it seems as though it's something for the whole community, or something the community worked on, rather than something you made to complement the block you created.
I don't mean to come off as rude or anything, but I've been wondering about that for some time now.
I picked Core Set: Salvation because it sounds a lot cooler than Core Set: Alacar. It is my project, but I've shown it to the largest overclan on the forums, and it's meant to be a base Core Set for the custom sets flying around here. It's my gift to MTGS, really, whereas Academy was partly a gift for Arguas and Omna.
I've heard a little about that anime, Mr. Stuff. It seems like something that'd see a lot of attention in this particular household. The art style really reminds me of the Wonderswan game Riviera: The Promised Land.
You think Future Sight is a hard card to find art for, try Upwelling. GAH.
@shadowfox: Yes congrats on your 1200 posts shadowfox!
@alacar: Good job on the core set logo for salvation keep up the good work.
@Mr. Stuff: That anime looks cute i want to check it out sometime.
Kevin is going to possibly be working as a clerical assistant in x-ray at one of the closest hospitals but not the one that he had a bad experience doing clinicals at. Kevin will also be able to get back into the x-ray program in fall of 2007.
Well i hope everyone is having a good day so far as well as a good week. Best wishes to you all and i will probably post later tonight. See you all soon. *hugs everyone in the coffeehouse*
Love,
Cecilia

@Alacar: I just noticed - you said SMEXY!!! My current favourite word. Did you watch the other Abridged series videos like me, or acquire it somewhere else? (For those who don't know what I'm talking about, click my smexy banner).
Yes, I've started using Smexy. The last episode I saw was 14, I think. Any more? I'll check.
Thanks for the art. I'm only 8 away from revealing the entire list in Core, then making/uploading the renders to Wakewalking and making it available for MWS!
Thanks for the congrats, Cecilia! I'm workin' hard.
@Cecilia: Good thing that Kevin will be getting a new hospital to work at. He doesn't need more crap from that other one.
@Alacar: Good logo. I'll try to find some art for Propaganda, as I'm sure that there are plenty of good works out there. Is a propaganda cartoon all right?
@All: Thank you for your good wishes. I haven't gotten any calls from my mom since 2:30, when she first got to the hospital, so I can't assume anything. I just woke up from a nap, and I've been told to hang around the apartment instead of going out. I'll probably get a movie or something from Blockbuster.
Yes, I hear so many scary stories from people about there parents getting into serious trouble, either its with the law, or with health or whatever. For example, the other day a girlfriend of mine was talking to be about her girlfriend that had watched her parents fight, for real, and her father was beating her mother so hard that she got serious injuries, and had to go to hospital and so on. But again, there where all so calm, is it to hide that they are scared? Like on newyearseve, a classmate of mine, had his stephmother in the drunkarrest because she was so drunk that she had broke a lots of stuff, like lamps and windows when she became angry, and tried to hit her husband and scrathed him and all, while the whole party was watching. So my firends father took the kids out with the dog, running away, and so did the other guest, untill they could call the police to pick her up. But there was one thing. My friend hates her, and is just glad for what happened, because now she will be out of the family, something he is happy for. Seems kind of insane to me realy, to face it that way! What do you think? Is it a desperate way to try to look at the bright side of things, or to hide the missery?
Hmmm... To answer your question, I'd have to take the Norwegian culture into account - I don't know how 'open' it is; how easilly people speak about what goes on in their family. I'd also have to take into account the personalities of the people involved. These things I cannot do, not in these situations.
That said, in general and given your examples, I'd say that these people who remain calm have possibly witnessed the outbursts of their family members so many times, that they've become numb to it and that their reactions are somehow subdued - if such a thing is, in fact, possible.
There is, of course, also another notion that applies in particular to your latter example: What is a child going to do about the decisions and actions of the mother (especially if the child in question is of a young age)?
Hey, everyone. I've been busy hanging out with my friends and enjoying Zelda Wind Waker. Sorry I haven't been around for a while, but I suppose I'll be coming back around more often soon.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
So my dad, who was scheduled to get his surgery tomorrow, is getting it today. His tumor, while still benign (to my knowledge), is getting bigger. I could tell something was wrong because all last night he'd been breathing big, heavy sighs. I'm real worried, but I believe everything will be OK.
Sorry to here That, Mortal Wombat. I hope your dad gets much much better

That may not be 40 but its definitely ALL of them that I need art for. I lost count somewhere. Thanks to anyone that may help me ahead of time!
Edit: Note: For those that don't have the patch you can get it in my Extendo!
Ethersphere.. fyi, I bought Wild ARMs 3 (both times) used from EB Games, which did NOT come with an instruction manual.. otherwise I would have looked immediately.
Quickly on here with images (w00t!) but I'll be back on later... My new year's been good , and look forward to much more action on my part once i've returned "home" to Rochester on Friday evening..(but since i can't get into my dorm until Sunday, probably not until Sunday night)... So take care! Enjoy!!
I've decided on an FCC entry. It is, as always, subject to change, but if you're at all interested, it's here.
I really like that. It's quite simple but has an interesting effect on gameplay. It's hard to know what Cantripmancer will think, but be prepared for "how often is anyone ever going to prefer you draw a card to losing 1 life?". I think, though, that it's a devious addition to burn decks, which are notorious for running out of steam. This card will either give you that little extra push for the win, or give you a few extra cards when you've got 'em on the ropes and need to draw into a finish.

@Ethersphere: Ooh, Upwelling. That does sound tough. Which is exactly why I'm not going to try to find said art!

Nice entry. looks good. Hopefully i'll do better this time around, doubt it though Since im apparently Unable to think of creative things
Please Point out any flaws, Typos or Things that dont make sense, I can use the help
Just in addition to Yukora's corrections, beginning is spelled with only ONE g in the third position. Also, each should not be capitalized...
I'm back for the night, at my computer... I'm utterly exhausted.. I may be watching Brave Little Toaster tonight with my mom, but mostly I think I'm going to be reading...
I just saw a bunch of people today, my old teachers and interpreters.. that was great.. a lot of fun..... Today I"ve been a bit down.. I'm not sure why.. I'm trying to shake it, since I should be quite happy about the way things turned out yesterday... but I just feel badly about a particular argument Arguas and I had... however that was NOT the centralizing force of the conversation.. it just occurred slightly towards the end which scared us both a bit.... I'm just nervous I guess... I hope everything turns out for the best.. I know it will.. I'm just kinda scared, hoping he won't forget the good stuff, while still remembering to keep the good ones in mind myself.. -_- anyway! (damn he's got an influence on me.. I never used to use those smileys :p)
I'm gonna go read or play a game or something.. cheer meself up
Also today I stopped in at a card shop... bought about 12 singles... I'm excited...
Here's my submission for this months FCC Challenge. I just whipped it up in the last 5 minutes because I won't have time later. I know it's been done before. Once I figured out I was up against Lesurgo, I pretty much knew I was gonna lose. But I know thats no reason not to try.
This is my entry for the first round of the FCC. I used to be a pretty good card creator a few years ago, and this was one of my many ideas. I could have done another black enchantment but the wording is quite weird.
Tomorrow at around 7:30 in the morning, my dad will be having surgery. I'm hoping for the best.
I watched the Devils-Rangers game today... it was a great game even though the Devils lost. This was the game my dad tried to get tickets for but couldn't because it was sold out.
I've heard a little about that anime, Mr. Stuff. It seems like something that'd see a lot of attention in this particular household. The art style really reminds me of the Wonderswan game Riviera: The Promised Land.
This one's only six episodes, and they're all on Youtube, so watch to your heart's content. It's a cute little series that's also very serious. You might need tissues on a few episodes.
For some reason, my mom has gotten into playing Tomb Raider: Legends. She keeps getting stuck on various puzzles and wanting me to help her, but it's fun seeing a 45 year old woman yell "Die, you leopard! Why won't you die?!".

That's the way my mother is with the New Super Mario Bros. "How the hell do I get out of this freakin castle?!?!" LOL
What singles'd you get, Omna?
Word! Rejoicement or meh? I think it's just my curiosity that asks that question.
@MW: Here's hopin you can get to go to some other game this year. Hockey rocks!
@Danica: Whoa, sorry if I offended you. Hell, sometimes I break open a game without looking at the instructions. It all depends on how excited I am. But yeah, I actually didn't think about you getting it used without an instruction book. People need to take better care of their games, especially if they're going to sell them. Of course, I don't like selling games myself, so yeah.
My mom used to play games a lot. RPGs, just like me, not surprisingly. She loved to play FF4 and 6 and Grandia. Once she tried to play FF7 and put it down almost immediately. "I can't take it seriously if all the characters look so ugly." That's verbatim.
Wow. Long time since I've been here. A lot with the holidays, and what not. Especially new years, and it wasn't a good one, either. I went to a buddy's house, ate his family's mexican food, got food poisoning, and threw up 5 times in 2 days. Not fun. But I'm just fine now. In face, I went to my card store today, and finished building my new deck. Now I'm all READY for FNM this week.
@Mr. Stuff: I'm likin' the anime. I'll have to get it some time. When I first saw the title, the first thing that came to my mind was Jigoku Shoujo.
@everyone else: I'm too tired right now to catch up on everything, so I'll just say hope everyone had a BETTER NEW YEAR THAN I DID!! (I'm pretty sure y'all did)
