I will say, Danica, that if you don't want your story-acquired legend to suck, get Pokémon Diamond. Dialga is miles ahead of Palkia in terms of power and efficiency. Other than that, the only real differences between Diamond and Pearl are availability of certain pokémon.
And if Silent Hill were a FPS series, I never would've picked it up. Survival Horror all the way, yo.
The funny thing is that your boyfriend added a fourth answer to the same question immediately after yours, good Photon.
Some of it is random; in the past few years I've traveled alone a lot, and even though I don't look that intimidating (I'm very short and of smallish medium build), I get pulled off by security a fair amount of the time. Things like one-way tickets and whether you're traveling with family can make a difference. (I've been pulled aside for walking away from the checkpoint too quickly after I was scanned.)
It’s funny, Danica and I have been randomly selected for the same reason. At least that went ok, I interpreted what was happening fine, so we were in and out pretty quick.
Hunter44 has risen from the dead bed.
Well I agree with the deities thing. Sorry for being the dumb follower
What should I do to make up for the mistake LittleDianne? NO!!! CULT INITIATION!!
Well I have 2 exams today. Wish me luck guys!!
I don’t think we could take 3 different cults being fueled by the same house explains how you were risen from the dead bed.
Hey folks. I'm back to my hotel.
I wish I had good news to report, but I didn't get the job.
You know, good sir, I do feel sorry that you didn’t get the job. However, you knew why you didn’t get it and really didn’t take it personally, which is certainly admirable. You now have the drive to do more with your life now that you’ve had this experience, which means that at least this was not a waste of your time. You have something to prove, so going to do it makes you of admirable character. As a result, I am positive you will succeed
Heh. Yeah, it's been strangely quiet in the House tonight. It's.... odd. I feel strange, and I blame the lack of PE/ether/Mams/Omna/Arguas/Alacar/... wait, Alacar just posted. <_<
So, anyone have anything fun to discuss? Or are we gonna just be quiet tonight?
The house gets along fine without me, at least. Not sure about the lack of the trio of housemates though. Wow, this place without any of them… that’d be scary.
You'll either love it or hate it. If you're looking for a different RTS playing experience, then go for it. If you want something that's a standard platformer, pass on it.
Oh, and does anyone know any good tactics games for the DS or PS3/PS2? I've just beat advance wars, and now I'm looking for something equally exciting.
Quite honestly, if you really like Advance Wars, I’d give Fire Emblem a try. It flows a bit differently, but along the same lines, with more of a story, and more RPG elements. It’s a bit different, as it’s still a turn based strategy. What you’ll probably miss most is the lack of ability to produce new units and stuff. Still, I think you may enjoy it
Somewhat. I've listened to some Apocalyptica, and it's... alright. Once more, just not my thing (usually). However, when I have a lot on my mind, I do enjoy instrumental music. For example, I'm currently cycling through my personal collection of acid jazz, which is almost entirely instrumental. It's completely mood dependent with me.
Out of curiosity, is anyone else the same way, in that your musical preference is determined by your mood? Mine is quite heavily.
With me, it can often be the other way around… music can enhance or determine my mood Skilled instrumental stuff can be really good… I guess I like soundtracks, music for certain scenes. Not only because it’s enjoyable, but I can use them (as of the end of my freshman year, I’ve been handling soundtrack stuff for my D&D group)
Sorry to hear that, Mr. Stuff. But I think it's probably a good experience, so you at least know what to do next time. And you get to see New York, never a bad thing. Enjoy your time there. I hear it's quite fun.
Y'know... I've only ever been to one real party, and that was my mom's July 4th party this year. And I didn't pay much attention to the party because my best friend was there and we were having fun.
Sorry to hear about the bad news. At least your computer is okay, eh? Is there any way for you to get your car fixed?
I'll look up the Geek MP3s. I've never actually listened to them, and you've probably got stuff on it I like.
And Finding Forrester was an awesome movie. Then again, I just like Sean Connery.
Personally... I'm a bit depressed right now. One of my family's dogs attacked my dog. Again. She's at the vet's right now. Even worse, all this happened while I was asleep, so I only learned it by going downstairs, not seeing my dog, and then shaking my baby sister awake to get the news. Not good.
You'd think that, if one dog has a bad habit of trying to rip another dog to shreds, something would be done about it.
Not a very pleasant situation there… sorry to hear about this. I hope something will be done soon, this is starting to get expensive for you, I’m sure too.
Alacar i love battle on the big bridge!!!! i have all the songs made by the black mages.
Matoya's Cave and Vamo alla Flammengo really hit the spot when i want to be hipped while playing DotA or Boss fights.
Aside from that who is into spanish music??? Maná FTW!
Nai you seem to be on im waiting my cuteness dose for the day
Edit: Nai you posted while i was typing , so sorry to hear about your dog.
Which do i prefer? i love the philippines friendliest place i have ever been i can actually go out at night without constantly checking everybodys pockets looking for blades or hiddent weapons
Miss the food a lot thought.(no not the guinea pig)
Well, sounds like a place that is controlled by fear, when you mention things like checking for concealed weapons. Battle on the Big Bridge is now one of my favorites too, simply because of how much of an improvement I’ve discovered it is over the original song, as Alacar pointed out. I feel like some of the songs are hit and miss… they kind of decreased the quality of two of my favorite songs for boss music in Final Fantasy, being FF6’s and FF8’s, mainly because the parts that I liked so much were cut down and reduced. Blah. I’ve also listened to Nobou’s orchestrated stuff, and I find some of that to be really good too. The orchestrated Liberi Fatali felt strictly worse, but that was mainly due as it was recorded in concert I think. Oh well, enough of that
Game (or Disappointment, your choice) of the Week: Pokemon Battle Revolution.
I loved the original Stadium and much enjoyed the second before I stopped playing, but I noticed that the general quality of the games seemed to go down after that. Doesn’t surprise me too much, although I do admit what I loved about the first was the double and triple speed towers for Red and Blue in order to raise everyone faster naturally. No longer necessary, but still, memory highlights
Suddenly 76 Tickets show up in our album. Two minutes later another 76 tickets. Five minutes later 228 more tickets arrive. so now we have 380 Tickets when we wanted 76.
I was planning and putting a bit of money online (though not at this moment O_o) so I told Alacar I would help him pay for it. Though oddly yesterday his bank showed no activity at all, we are wondering if wizards glitched out and the store just gave us 280 tix without charging us.
Either way, I have never seen an online store behave that way. It is asinine.
On a plus side, I found a bot selling Ravnica cards far cheaper than most bots even buy them for. So as a result we now have playsets of almost every Shock Dual. To give an example of this Bots prices, I picked up Chars for one ticket each, whereas everywhere else I see them for 3.50 and according to people I was talking to it has actually gone up.
I really hope that doesn’t backfire on the two of you. Seriously, that would kind of suck.
Nai: Sorry to hear about your dog, man... I'd be killing someone over the incident if it were me.
I'm not excited by it but I DO want to go see it. It actually sounds like it'll be pretty good. I only hope it lives up to that hype machine.
Nai’s situation certainly was not a happy one…
As for the simpson’s movie, it kind of screams not worth it, but I suppose the same could have been said about the Family Guy movie, and I thought that was good… gave me a trademark Jesus dance too
I never really got into MTGO for the simple reason that you can't kick your opponent under the table if they annoy you. I'm a nice player really.
Just looked over 10th properly for the first time. Does anyone else get the impression that Grull/Zoo is very dead? I mean, Incinerate, 2 wrath effects, no Kird Ape, losing Watchwolf and BTS in a couple o' months, and then where will those decks be? I mean, Fanatic on turn 1 is nice, but it's no Ape. It winds up being a 2/1 IF it dies. Not great. With the loss of Watchwolf, and Scab-Clan Mauler, these decks lose a lot of their turn 2 power.
Now, mid-range could step up to take the spot, but control starts to pick up around the mid-game, so... I dunno, I've never been good at this kind of thing. Thoughts?
Oh also, thought I should do what Sepiriel did and introduce myself (despite already making, like 15 posts here).
I started playing MTG around Onslaught/Legions just casually with friends. Became competitive around Kamigawa, and dropped out at Ravnica (dual lands wrecked my wallet). Been playing casually ever since, and on and off on MWS when I feel the need to be really competitive. I'm a wee babby, only 16, started playing when I was 12. Tried many other card games, but MTG always kept me coming back again and again.
My favorite card is probably Words of War because it was my first clue that MTG was about resource management and that if having cards in hand didn't matter, then your life total could maybe be a resource too... It was a real eye-opener, and taught me a lot. Then there was my first control deck. The less said about it, the better...
Thank you for sharing all of this about yourself ^_^. Somehow, if you played Gruul AND liked to kick annoying people under the table, that also gives an interesting picture of your player profile :-p certainly don’t ever want to irritate you if we play Anyway, Gruul may not have a lot going for it now, but similar decks will very likely pop up once Lorwyn adds some more cards into the pool. The agro metagame won’t shut down just because the meta isn’t dominated by x/3s as much anymore. Remember, whenever we lose one block of cards, we gain another’s, so this really isn’t going to be too bad. If nothing else, you’ll just find a new color combination that works for aggro ^_^.
Also, welcome to the house, as this is made official by telling us this stuff
Troll is the ultimate aggro card. Your opponents can't target it and it is a 3/2 with regen. If you ask me it makes aggro even aggro-ier because it just doesn't die. Remember Troll + SoFI?
I could never get into MTGO becase I really like the interactive aspect of paper Magic way too much. Plus my regular players have become like a second fam to me. I love those guys.
Work today stunk royally. While the weather was nice and the water was cool and clean, the day just seemed to drag on forver and ever amen. I just got my advance tickets to the Simpsons Movie in the mail though, so now I'm happy.
I'm going to an environmental rally over the weekend to protest the building of a new power plant around my area. One of those really hardcore ones where were are like tied to trees and stuff like that. It should really be interesting.
OK, I’ve read a LOT of discussion about Troll. He is NOT, I repeat, not an aggressive staple card. Yes, Ascetic was once a powerful tool in that deck because he filled out a niche in Mirrodin beats, largely because the he did very well within that format. He isn’t quite as good anymore, largely because in an aggressive deck, your mana is definitely tied down doing other things, and mass board damage spells are relatively commonplace on the tourney scene… or soon will be. He was nuts with Sword of Fire and Ice, but honestly the best other choices are enchantments (which pay off a very heavy two for one if your opponent can time it right), or Loxodon Warhammer. The war hammer makes him really good in a control format as he can keep your opponents at bay. Otherwise, you could honestly fill the aggressive slot with better creatures than Troll Ascetic. This is my take after reading a lot about it, so take it as you will. I hate to echo the thoughts of others, but they have swayed me on this topic, as I see the point. Besides that, hope the environmental rally went well... rooting for you on that one
What are you using? Ive been a Protoss player all my life. ^)^
Thanks! Im studying law right now. Geez memorizing 50 articles is nuts..
Ok LittleDrooly. Hey happy birthday man! But hey, youre 29 and Ive got more girlfriends than you. tee hee. I wonder what you got yourself for your birthday.
Congratulations on the thesis Danica. Good job. I hope I can finish mine too as soon as possible..
Im back to studyin guys. Check you all later. Wish me luck I have 2 exams today. Ciao!
*Currently listening to: Billy Crawford - Bright Lights*
KEFKA??? NOT AGAIN?! Oh, wait, it’s just Hunter. Never mind. My brother just finished his BAR exams, so believe me, I’ve heard and understand the situation.
I've always been a Terran player. I dislike playing a strategy in which you throw little guys and tell them to eat, and basically fight an attrition style swarm. Protoss are a bit too slow for my tastes as well, and somehow I just don't like them as much as the humans with Siege Tanks. The protoss still garner my respect though.
I have to say here… when you’re counting how many girlfriends you’ve had or have, you are measuring quantity over quality, and that makes you a low quality choice in the relationship sense One girlfriend is plenty if she’s the right one for you, my friend
Well since the mws legacy tournament that i played on at the source went to six rounds instead of 5 i decided to write up a report on how I did in the tournament.
I hope you guys enjoyed reading the tournament report.
See you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses to everyone*
Love,
Cecilia
I liked the report here, along with the details and analysis along the way. It was good to see that you did alright, although it did seem like the goblin matchups just didn’t go your way, except for the top decks of the engineered plagues. Either way, you’ve always done well, and it’s interesting to see how you’re faring in new environments. I still say that you should try more limited… just not on MTGO
Ooh! Would you Evan? Plz? Srsly? I'd love some Remands. They wouldn't get here in time for the FNM but I would love to take ya up on that offer (and increase your iTrader rating, for giggles.)
You know, I kind of owe you good sir, with all of your donations to myself and Danica. I drafted Remands really high during Ravnica, so I have more than a playset. I even have a foil one if you’re still in need, I’m willing to give some up to help you out. Lord knows you’ve done more than enough for me
Wow, I knew Vista was pretty terrible, but that's just... bleh. Makes me glad I still have XP on my 5-year-old desktop.
@Alacar:
Ha! The funny thing is something like that doesn't even phase me any more- I didn't really see what the_sid was talking about, but whatever. I've seen *much* more strange things in anime than catgirl suits. Such as, I don't know:
-cosplaying as a piece of wall (Cosplay Complex)
-a horde of many hundreds of catgirls at once... who are all also maids (UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie)
-reloading a gun using only one's cleavage (Grenadier)
-Woman: "I am the door" Miyuki: "Oh? But I don't see any doorknobs..." 0_0 (Miyuki-chan in Wonderland)
-Whatever those gray aliens in Puni Puni Poemy are, with their dangling... uh, things. (Puni Puni Poemy)
-and the list goes on... and on... and on... and on...
Blah, I'm tired. I slept for several hours today after work, woke up, and now it's 1:00am. At least after tomorrow it's the weekend.
The scary world of Anime… even scarier is when people imitate them. I’ve been to cons, but… well, I can picture some of them trying to do things like that. Anyway, I would just like to point out that Vista is still essentially in Beta development, so if you get it, bear that in mind. You are merely helping to make the product better if you get a system with Vista installed on it. Compatibilities are the largest downfall with Vista at this point, so try to get an XP edition for another year or so.
Hey folks.. I'm back from FNM. Went 1-2 in the first 3 rounds of 5 and then dropped. Meh. Patriot Angels did okay.
I managed to nab 3 more Chars, so the deck is complete.
Also, I split a box with a buddy and got a foil Squee and some other goodies. Traded with my buddy after he bought his box and got my 4th Twincast, Pithing Needle, Troll Ascetic, and much more.
Today was a good day. 
*waves to everyone*
You know, for your first time at an FNM constructed event that isn’t online, you did pretty well especially with what feels like a rogue deck. Your opponents were probably expecting the Angel lock deck with the colors you were playing You definitely had more creatures than I expected you to if you were running something like that. Either way, hope you didn’t have to give up too much to get those cards
You probably have absolutely nothing to worry about here. I already did my end of that about a year and a half ago and it really wasn't that bad. Of course, I got lucky and the guy pled but I hear that happens in most cases. Plus, and a disclaimer on not knowing how it works in your state, but once you get it over you wont have to do it again for AT LEAST seven more years.
@Sepiriel: I honestly think you got damn lucky that she made herself do with the chocolate milk last night. If it were me, with my luck, I'd be forced to go out in the middle of the night to go get her what she wanted...
And about the D&D books - well that'd be illegal to my knowledge so lets just ignore that question here on the boards...
Anyway I spent a few quick minutes on the following. I hope a few people get it!
I thought the shoe goomba was hilarious and still, even if Wizards is just having an excuse to reprint the cards, what it did was solidify some mechanical issues and show us what directions Magic could go. Plus, it’s a fun set
I’ve been wanting to say this for a while, but a friend of mine (definitely not me) has an entire directory full of D&D books, and they’re all online pdfs. He gives me access to it when I need it, but they are definitely HIS and not mine. The list goes something like this:

Quote from Sakura »
Make the NPC a doppelganger, then when he leaves the party randomly take one of them aside and have the doppleganger gank him. From that point on the PC is your pawn. Mwahahaha.
If the pc wins the fight with the doppelganger, bend the rules a little and have the doppelganger escape and reappear from time to time as an ongoing villain. You can have various NPC's be the doppelganger, and eventually the party will be stuck questioning their loyalties.
Lol, classic manipulations and plot twists in D&D. I love it
Quote from Alacar Leoricar »
Hehe, that's the beauty of being DM. Oftentimes I've had to just pop things in that I've made 'just in case' beforehand, but had no place in the actual campaign, because the party made a turn or a move that I didn't expect (which is frequent, knowing my players)
This is why, when I GM, I will have the following:
1) A set of random names I make up beforehand
2) A set of quotations to use on the spot should the need arise
Area descriptions to describe how certain characters would act from different regions.
I’m looking forward to be able to come up with situations when I read my players wrong initially in which I still look like I’m completely in control of what’s happening in my world. Ah, I can’t wait

I think it would be cool if everyone in the house used one of the Lilformers avatar heads for a week.
I was wondering about that. I wake up and 3+ 6 avatars have randomly changed to Transformer style. It was kind of strange to see.
And then the fad stuff was explained. At least it’s a free fad I’ll stick with my dual wielding form, thank you
So as I was putting the finishing touches on this post, it appears that I got a bunch of stuff in the mail from my friend that I met on a religious retreat a few years ago who has been going through hard times. She's 2 years younger, and therefore graduated this year. She's been going through a lot, and I know that she would appreciate me going to her graduation party which is 2 days after I turn 20. Only problem is she lives in a town that is 40 minutes away by driving, and I have no car to speak of So I need to find ways to make ends meet there. Besides that, plenty of good music and a prayer dogtag with a pray it forward concept, which I must say that I love the concept of. So need to decide a few things on that one
Hey Arguas, that'd be cool if you could hook me up with some stuff. Anything you'd wanna send down here would be greatly appreciated, but it's not necessary
Aww.. why don't you take G1 Prime? It would be fun
*Shun the nonbeliever. Shuuunnnnnnnnnnnn*
DISCLAIMER: This statement has nothing to do with Arguas's beliefs.
This statement confuses me. We aren't shunning you because you don't believe, we're shunning you because you're not /in on the cool fad before it stops being cool.
Don't you want to be cool?
Let it be known that Arguas2617 is lacking in awesome.
@arguas about troll: I actually totally agree with arguas about troll i dont think its an aggro staple card either the reason why is 3 mana for a 3/2 isnt considered as aggro as something like a savannah lions as a 2/1 for one white.. I also think it takes too much mana to regenerate something like a river boa would seem alot more efficient in a aggro deck if your looking for creatures that can regenerate. ALthough the only bright side it has is its untargetable which can help you win the game against control decks that have spot removal in them. Although sword of fire and ice seems awesome on a troll ascetic it doesnt always seem as aggro as people might think considering it takes more then 4 mana to pull it off and that doesnt seem to fit the low mana curve paradigm in aggro decks at all. Just my two cents. Also thanks for the compliement about my performance in the legacy tournament ryan it is appreciated.
ahh, extended, where all the pointy sticks are put out too pasture.
I don't know if anyone plays Star Wars Miniature's on these boards, but I certainly like this custom that I made:
501st Finest, Vaders Fist
Faction: Republic
Cost: 60
HP: 140
DEF: 19
ATK: +14
DMG: 20
SA:
Order 66
Unique (Counts as 501st Finest, Vader's Fist)
Mobile Attack
Twin Attack
Jedi Hunter
True Imperial (May not be played in a squad with "Grand Admiral Thrawn")
Vader's Fist (May only be played in a squad that has "Darth Vader" or "Anakin Skywalker" in it)
Affinity: Darth Vader (May be played in a squad where Darth Vader is included, regardless of faction)
Force Powers:
Force 3
Blaster Barrage
Even amongst the legendary 501st, Vader's Fist is a soldier on another level. It is even said that Darth Vader himself trains the warrior in the ways of The Force.
Ohh, and these stats are built off of Battlefront 2, with an ample amount of creative lisence taken too. (We all know Jango never used the force)

Looking quickly at my collection, I have 5 remands, of them foil, and I'm pretty sure that as the collection is sorted out, I will find one more. I want to keep a few of them for the WU returners I work on every once in a while, but besides that, I know that you could use them. So, if you can't get them elsewhere, I'll at least help. Most likely send 2 of these cards.

No problem, thanks for the back up. Remember, this is an echo off of some research I did after pulling an Ascetic in a Xth sealed event, then trading it and getting ripped off deliberately to help out and a friend AND get Danica's gift at the same time I should probably have asked for his Xth Serra though... I appear to be seeing him tonight, so maybe I'll guilt trip him into it... or maybe not
Troll Ascetic has lost thunder compared to Tarmogoyf, and the fact that it doesn't have Sword of Fire and Ice in Standard.
And the fact that Arguas isn't keen on Constructed
And a note: I'm only joking on Arguas. Avatars need not change, I just thought it was cute.
Tarmogoyf = the best green creature printed in a long time. I know this even from my limited play with him. Seriously, I can't think of a creature that is normally a 3/4 (possible early game 4/5) for 1G with no drawbacks in pretty much all of Magic's history. Seriously, it's normally like that, even in limited, and it's scary.
Remember, Alacar: I do my research on Standard, and every once in a while build a deck on MWS. If it works, I start to build it for real. This just happens to be kind of rare, and I don't like getting my ass handed to me because of the fact that I didn't decide to buy cards that would cost me 5-6 dollars a pop. My constructed goal is to be able to build something workable that can win that everyone isn't playing. Plus, I just don't do it all that much, as I find it too restricting anyway :-p (due to the expense of "necessary" cards)
Anyway, my friends should be showing up soon... I'm going to try to do my best to reformat my WU Returners deck while also working on things for my OGS campaign. Lots of things to do while hanging out with friends... this could get complicated and messy, but I hope to have fun tonight
So, I never saw the Transformers movie, but I watched some bits of it on YouTube and it kind of looks totally sweet. Like, I really like big robots (and other robots) and the transformation sequences look really darned cool.

So.. all the money spent on limited stuff could've pooled towards a cool constructed/casual collection, I see.
My point is, I could have just as much fun as you if we spent the same amount of cash on different crap, bud.
As the giver of the internets in these parts, I actually hereby decree that they DO in fact, stack. What that means, I'm not quite sure yet, but they frikkin' stack!.
So, Arguas, enjoy your internets. You've earned them.
As for Cult Leader/Gym Class/Dangerous Substance, they need to fix their internets (or borrow one from Arguas ;)). I miss them (mostly Mams).
The funny thing is that your boyfriend added a fourth answer to the same question immediately after yours, good Photon.
It’s funny, Danica and I have been randomly selected for the same reason. At least that went ok, I interpreted what was happening fine, so we were in and out pretty quick.
I don’t think we could take 3 different cults being fueled by the same house explains how you were risen from the
deadbed.You know, good sir, I do feel sorry that you didn’t get the job. However, you knew why you didn’t get it and really didn’t take it personally, which is certainly admirable. You now have the drive to do more with your life now that you’ve had this experience, which means that at least this was not a waste of your time. You have something to prove, so going to do it makes you of admirable character. As a result, I am positive you will succeed
The house gets along fine without me, at least. Not sure about the lack of the trio of housemates though. Wow, this place without any of them… that’d be scary.
Quite honestly, if you really like Advance Wars, I’d give Fire Emblem a try. It flows a bit differently, but along the same lines, with more of a story, and more RPG elements. It’s a bit different, as it’s still a turn based strategy. What you’ll probably miss most is the lack of ability to produce new units and stuff. Still, I think you may enjoy it
With me, it can often be the other way around… music can enhance or determine my mood Skilled instrumental stuff can be really good… I guess I like soundtracks, music for certain scenes. Not only because it’s enjoyable, but I can use them (as of the end of my freshman year, I’ve been handling soundtrack stuff for my D&D group)
and that’s all that matters .
Not a very pleasant situation there… sorry to hear about this. I hope something will be done soon, this is starting to get expensive for you, I’m sure too.
Well, sounds like a place that is controlled by fear, when you mention things like checking for concealed weapons. Battle on the Big Bridge is now one of my favorites too, simply because of how much of an improvement I’ve discovered it is over the original song, as Alacar pointed out. I feel like some of the songs are hit and miss… they kind of decreased the quality of two of my favorite songs for boss music in Final Fantasy, being FF6’s and FF8’s, mainly because the parts that I liked so much were cut down and reduced. Blah. I’ve also listened to Nobou’s orchestrated stuff, and I find some of that to be really good too. The orchestrated Liberi Fatali felt strictly worse, but that was mainly due as it was recorded in concert I think. Oh well, enough of that
I loved the original Stadium and much enjoyed the second before I stopped playing, but I noticed that the general quality of the games seemed to go down after that. Doesn’t surprise me too much, although I do admit what I loved about the first was the double and triple speed towers for Red and Blue in order to raise everyone faster naturally. No longer necessary, but still, memory highlights
My high school Biology teacher loved her cat more than her husband. And despite her claim, I think more than her child and her husband combined.
I really hope that doesn’t backfire on the two of you. Seriously, that would kind of suck.
Nai’s situation certainly was not a happy one…
As for the simpson’s movie, it kind of screams not worth it, but I suppose the same could have been said about the Family Guy movie, and I thought that was good… gave me a trademark Jesus dance too
Thank you for sharing all of this about yourself ^_^. Somehow, if you played Gruul AND liked to kick annoying people under the table, that also gives an interesting picture of your player profile :-p certainly don’t ever want to irritate you if we play Anyway, Gruul may not have a lot going for it now, but similar decks will very likely pop up once Lorwyn adds some more cards into the pool. The agro metagame won’t shut down just because the meta isn’t dominated by x/3s as much anymore. Remember, whenever we lose one block of cards, we gain another’s, so this really isn’t going to be too bad. If nothing else, you’ll just find a new color combination that works for aggro ^_^.
Also, welcome to the house, as this is made official by telling us this stuff
OK, I’ve read a LOT of discussion about Troll. He is NOT, I repeat, not an aggressive staple card. Yes, Ascetic was once a powerful tool in that deck because he filled out a niche in Mirrodin beats, largely because the he did very well within that format. He isn’t quite as good anymore, largely because in an aggressive deck, your mana is definitely tied down doing other things, and mass board damage spells are relatively commonplace on the tourney scene… or soon will be. He was nuts with Sword of Fire and Ice, but honestly the best other choices are enchantments (which pay off a very heavy two for one if your opponent can time it right), or Loxodon Warhammer. The war hammer makes him really good in a control format as he can keep your opponents at bay. Otherwise, you could honestly fill the aggressive slot with better creatures than Troll Ascetic. This is my take after reading a lot about it, so take it as you will. I hate to echo the thoughts of others, but they have swayed me on this topic, as I see the point. Besides that, hope the environmental rally went well... rooting for you on that one
KEFKA??? NOT AGAIN?! Oh, wait, it’s just Hunter. Never mind. My brother just finished his BAR exams, so believe me, I’ve heard and understand the situation.
I've always been a Terran player. I dislike playing a strategy in which you throw little guys and tell them to eat, and basically fight an attrition style swarm. Protoss are a bit too slow for my tastes as well, and somehow I just don't like them as much as the humans with Siege Tanks. The protoss still garner my respect though.
I have to say here… when you’re counting how many girlfriends you’ve had or have, you are measuring quantity over quality, and that makes you a low quality choice in the relationship sense One girlfriend is plenty if she’s the right one for you, my friend
I liked the report here, along with the details and analysis along the way. It was good to see that you did alright, although it did seem like the goblin matchups just didn’t go your way, except for the top decks of the engineered plagues. Either way, you’ve always done well, and it’s interesting to see how you’re faring in new environments. I still say that you should try more limited… just not on MTGO
Definitely sign me up at some point
You know, I kind of owe you good sir, with all of your donations to myself and Danica. I drafted Remands really high during Ravnica, so I have more than a playset. I even have a foil one if you’re still in need, I’m willing to give some up to help you out. Lord knows you’ve done more than enough for me
The scary world of Anime… even scarier is when people imitate them. I’ve been to cons, but… well, I can picture some of them trying to do things like that. Anyway, I would just like to point out that Vista is still essentially in Beta development, so if you get it, bear that in mind. You are merely helping to make the product better if you get a system with Vista installed on it. Compatibilities are the largest downfall with Vista at this point, so try to get an XP edition for another year or so.
You know, for your first time at an FNM constructed event that isn’t online, you did pretty well especially with what feels like a rogue deck. Your opponents were probably expecting the Angel lock deck with the colors you were playing You definitely had more creatures than I expected you to if you were running something like that. Either way, hope you didn’t have to give up too much to get those cards
I thought the shoe goomba was hilarious and still, even if Wizards is just having an excuse to reprint the cards, what it did was solidify some mechanical issues and show us what directions Magic could go. Plus, it’s a fun set
I’ve been wanting to say this for a while, but a friend of mine (definitely not me) has an entire directory full of D&D books, and they’re all online pdfs. He gives me access to it when I need it, but they are definitely HIS and not mine. The list goes something like this:

Lol, classic manipulations and plot twists in D&D. I love it
This is why, when I GM, I will have the following:
1) A set of random names I make up beforehand
2) A set of quotations to use on the spot should the need arise
Area descriptions to describe how certain characters would act from different regions.
I’m looking forward to be able to come up with situations when I read my players wrong initially in which I still look like I’m completely in control of what’s happening in my world. Ah, I can’t wait
AWWWW!!! I love it! Great cat pose! I liked Alacar’s too
I was wondering about that. I wake up and
3+6 avatars have randomly changed to Transformer style. It was kind of strange to see.And then the fad stuff was explained. At least it’s a free fad I’ll stick with my dual wielding form, thank you
So as I was putting the finishing touches on this post, it appears that I got a bunch of stuff in the mail from my friend that I met on a religious retreat a few years ago who has been going through hard times. She's 2 years younger, and therefore graduated this year. She's been going through a lot, and I know that she would appreciate me going to her graduation party which is 2 days after I turn 20. Only problem is she lives in a town that is 40 minutes away by driving, and I have no car to speak of So I need to find ways to make ends meet there. Besides that, plenty of good music and a prayer dogtag with a pray it forward concept, which I must say that I love the concept of. So need to decide a few things on that one

I don't know if anyone plays Star Wars Miniature's on these boards, but I certainly like this custom that I made:
501st Finest, Vaders Fist
Faction: Republic
Cost: 60
HP: 140
DEF: 19
ATK: +14
DMG: 20
SA:
Order 66
Unique (Counts as 501st Finest, Vader's Fist)
Mobile Attack
Twin Attack
Jedi Hunter
True Imperial (May not be played in a squad with "Grand Admiral Thrawn")
Vader's Fist (May only be played in a squad that has "Darth Vader" or "Anakin Skywalker" in it)
Affinity: Darth Vader (May be played in a squad where Darth Vader is included, regardless of faction)
Force Powers:
Force 3
Blaster Barrage
Even amongst the legendary 501st, Vader's Fist is a soldier on another level. It is even said that Darth Vader himself trains the warrior in the ways of The Force.
Ohh, and these stats are built off of Battlefront 2, with an ample amount of creative lisence taken too. (We all know Jango never used the force)
Ohh, right, random pic time!
1st) it's because I'm shunned for being different. However, I shun the nonbeliever. Come on, tell me you guys have seen that one
2nd) Thank you for clarifying, Alacar
Looking quickly at my collection, I have 5 remands, of them foil, and I'm pretty sure that as the collection is sorted out, I will find one more. I want to keep a few of them for the WU returners I work on every once in a while, but besides that, I know that you could use them. So, if you can't get them elsewhere, I'll at least help. Most likely send 2 of these cards.
No problem, thanks for the back up. Remember, this is an echo off of some research I did after pulling an Ascetic in a Xth sealed event, then trading it and getting ripped off deliberately to help out and a friend AND get Danica's gift at the same time I should probably have asked for his Xth Serra though... I appear to be seeing him tonight, so maybe I'll guilt trip him into it... or maybe not
Tarmogoyf = the best green creature printed in a long time. I know this even from my limited play with him. Seriously, I can't think of a creature that is normally a 3/4 (possible early game 4/5) for 1G with no drawbacks in pretty much all of Magic's history. Seriously, it's normally like that, even in limited, and it's scary.
Remember, Alacar: I do my research on Standard, and every once in a while build a deck on MWS. If it works, I start to build it for real. This just happens to be kind of rare, and I don't like getting my ass handed to me because of the fact that I didn't decide to buy cards that would cost me 5-6 dollars a pop. My constructed goal is to be able to build something workable that can win that everyone isn't playing. Plus, I just don't do it all that much, as I find it too restricting anyway :-p (due to the expense of "necessary" cards)
Anyway, my friends should be showing up soon... I'm going to try to do my best to reformat my WU Returners deck while also working on things for my OGS campaign. Lots of things to do while hanging out with friends... this could get complicated and messy, but I hope to have fun tonight

It has spoken! It has told us the way!
So, I never saw the Transformers movie, but I watched some bits of it on YouTube and it kind of looks totally sweet. Like, I really like big robots (and other robots) and the transformation sequences look really darned cool.
I believe that Photon, Ether, and Mamelon have been having internet trouble. (I can't find the post where one of them mentioned it, though.)
2) You're welcome, and 1) I have no idea what you're talking about.
Meh, well, whatever works for you.
