@Zaphod: I like that banner too.
I don't really have time to go into detailed critiques right now, but for the future, I think you should work on making interesting banners that are slightly less monochromatic and putting slightly more interesting borders on. Simple borders can be extremely effective, but it's good to be able to vary your style a little. Also, more colorful banners are often much more interesting to look at if you can get the colors to blend nicely.
Anyway, I feel like the forums have been a little dead today, but I'm about 95% sure that's just because I got used to posting way too much in the P&PI which actually is down today (Omna's gone so Half-Life isn't running and nothing else is really going right now).
I'm happy, we have snow here at Rose. everyone's playing Christmas music...it's really cool.

Unfortunately for me, that's the FOURTH time I've now been linked to it in the past week. And I've seen it a couple times already before then... that song just keeps getting catchier. Now I gotta find it just to get it out of my head...
Tin Man - Ended up just pretty good, not excellent as I was expecting from Sci-Fi. Predictible-ness of the last part really messed it up. Still - quite good. I like all those mini-Easter Eggs they threw in there for those that REALLY knew the original (par example, the number 39 sign). It's bound to come out on DVD eventually and I'd say grab it if it's cheap enough.
@tin-man: i actually haven't seen it yet but possibly i should.
Well I think I am going to call it a night but ill probably post sometime tommorrow though. Have a great night everyone and I will be on aol/skype/msn if anyone wants to talk to me. See you all soon. *hugs and blows kisses to everyone*
By the way here is a casual deck for people to munch their peanuts on.
To artists out there: Does anyone know of a good drawing book, one that's semi-easy to find, that a beginner can work out of? I'd like to learn how to draw semi-decently, but I'd be working from the ground up. I'd also like to get some grounding in the subject before taking a beginner's class this coming semester.
I did some work on a World Project around Known Space, or the novels the Ringworld is based in. After several days of working on it, I doubted I could pull it off, and gave up. I've got some better ideas, so I'm going to be repurposing some of that work. For any Colo-goers, look for this in the coming days.
Also, the Beyond the Sword expansion for Civ 4 rocks. Hard.
It won't load for me. It sounds like it would be really good, too.
Edit: There must be something not quite right with my laptop, so I just watched it and I have to say....Yeah. Insane ftw.
How was everyone's day? Mine was pretty uneventful as usual, but I kinda like it that way. Especially, considering that me and brother did a lot cleaning around the house yesterday. Its nice to get a break from people breathing down my neck about that kind of stuff.
I love the special things that usually only happen around the holidays, like the making of Rice Crispy squares, Puppy Chow, and playing a few games of Monopoly, not to mention delicious ham. I love it.
Despite my laptop being less than 4 or so months old, I just had to replace the battery. It was probably due to the fact that I didn't use it often enough and it crapped out. I got a new, more powerful one, so I'm gonna try to hang on to this one for a while.
I took a placement test thingy for college on Sat. I, naturally, didn't do so well in math, since I didn't remember much of the material, but I think I scored pretty well in the reading and the sentence structure areas. Its to see where I am in certain areas, so we'll see what going on with that. College is going to be starting soon for me, and I'm pretty nervous, to be honest. I'm not sure how well I'll fair, but I can only hope for the best.
Major congrats to you, Sepiriel. Hope the little guy isn't too much a handful for ya!
@Snow: We've had very little snow here this season. Its only the beginning, of December, so there's still time. I kinda wish it would snow like it did last year. This time, I would get some pictures and show off the astronomically unusual amount of snow that fell here. It was pretty epic, all things considered.
Well, I'm gonna go get some sleep. Night all.
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

Ahhhhh!!! i went to by just the mana base for my landstill deck $600+ thats crazy, i usually play t2 but thats just crazy expensive that makes it harder to play t1.5 >.>, but iw will it'll just take lots of over time, and some b-day money ;). Also i found out that i might be able to sneak some force of wills off my friend for free
While you're on it Ally, could you Christmas-ify my avvy? Could you make two actually: One with santa hat+snow, and one with just snow?
If you do, I'll make you a real angel banner

I have no idea how to make a snow avvy (I had CharlieD animate my current avatar, but I made the picture of Santa Tim), but I can give it a shot.
Whoo! Today's my last day of classes! After this it's 3 exams, and then freedom! (till next semester)

allin that s extremely expensive, where are you gettng the lands from
Guys, don't trip overmuch about the cost of manabases and staples for the Legacy format. The good thing is, once you have all that stuff, you have it...you don't have to buy oodles of type 2 stuff just to keep on track.

Yeah i know im thinking of just buying 2 of each dual land every week using half pay check 50 down the drain. so by the end of soummer ill have the whole mana base and the force of will
I have two- one for nontournament, because it loses to everything but Threshold; and one for tournament use.
Non-tournament: Mono-Black Control. This brings out a LOT of mass kill spells, Staff of Domination, Oblivion Stone, and hand disruption, ending usually in a Haunting Echoes that leaves maybe basic land and possibly an irrelevant creature in your deck. Cabal Coffers gives me the mana I need, Staff serves so many purposes that it just isn't funny, Helldozer wrecks the manabase (assuming he doesn't get Plowed on sight; if so, who cares?) and Duress/Hymn to Tourach say that I hit something relevant most of the time. After a certain point I can draw five cards or more at my opponent's end step using Staff or Skletal Scrying (what do I need my yard for except Chainer's Edict). Win condition is usually Consume Spirit, though Helldozer beats can also win.
Tournament: Red Death. I'm sure you know what this is...Negator beats, backed up with cheap burn spells. Modifications include maindecked Extirpates against control decks and Tomb of Urami for an alternate win condition. Added one basic mountain against mirror matches...the deck runs three Badlands, and wasteland can ruin your chances of killing your opponent off of burn spells.

In my experience, the main thing that beats Landstill is bad Landstill players.
That's not meant as an insult; it's just what I think.
Failing that, certain combo decks that crop up every now and then can slip one in on them...I remember getting trounced by that stupid elf-guy-into-Colossus combo.

Windmills do not work that way!
COFFEE!!! **tramples people to get to it**
I have two vices. Coffee and cigarettes, though I know the last one's bad for me. It could be worse. It could be heroin.
It's not snowing here, I don't think it DOES snow in Virginia...where I grew up, though, it snowed every winter, because I grew up in Oregon.
Alacar, where's my new avvy?
