Hi there guys, today I'm here to tell you guys about a new bill started in Congress. This bill was started to prevent the streaming of copyrighted material over the internet. This means movies, TV shows, etc. This may seem like a good thing at first, but at the way it is worded at the moment, it says 'copyrighted material.' This means Video Games as well.
Now, as you may know, a huge portion of Youtube, and the internet itself, is part of a Video Gaming society. Many people make videos about nearly all types of video games, whether it be Pokemon, Call of Duty, Halo, Zelda, Mario, and many, many more.
If this bill passes, every single video on Youtube about any sort of Video Game will have to be removed. This is obviously bad and will not be good for the Gaming community. Not only do LPs, Walkthroughs, reviews of the games, and basic gameplay videos promote and advertise the games, but they also are almost never the same.
If you watch the same movie five times, it never changes. But if you play the same game five times, it is nearly impossible to recreate everything. That simple fact provides some defense against the bill. You need to interact with the video game and actually play it in order to fully experience it.
With TV shows and movies, there isn't much else to do except watch it. I can fully understand where the people are coming from, wanting to prevent illegal movie streaming, but they really need to fix the wording or something. If that all was way too confusing for you, just watch:
I've been noticing several of my friends playing this TCG more than
Magic: The Gathering. Is it really better than Magic in terms of combos and synergies cause I already know it fixes Mana Screw where any card can be played as a Resource and such. It does remind me of Marvel/DC Vs. System in some ways and I loved Vs. System, more so than WoW TCG.
What do you guys think? Bare in mind I'm not a huge fan of the MMORPG but I guess you don't have to be a diehard fan of the MMORPG to actually play this TCG. It seems like it's fun but to me for some reason it reminds me too much of another TCG that died a few years ago being The Spoils TCG which never caught on in my area.
What I want to know is what is it about the World of Warcraft TCG that makes it a much better TCG than Magic: The Gathering? Is it the Raids that's alot like Magic's Archenemy format? Is it the solution to Mana Screw? What is it I'd like to know.
I'd rather play the Paper/Physical version of (Score) Dragonball Z CCG instead of having to play a Digital version Online like what Kamiccolo created. Sure you're still spending money on cards instead of playing for free but at least you're playing the real thing.
It's high time that all Democrats, Republicans and every other political party in the US to get their heads out of their butts and start working for the country instead of working to get themselves elected. America is screwed, the average person has NO say in the Government whatsoever.
The strategy is as so, use Splinter Twin with Deceiver Exarch to make infinite 1/4 creatures that swing for infinite damage while you tap out their stuff. Tormentor Exarch helps boost the damage while also being a useful tool with the Splinter Twin.
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker is backup incase my combo fails and I can make infinite copies of Pestermite as well. Priest of Urabrask is just mana accel to help get my combo off faster. Any help, advice, and or suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it.
Which "skeptic?" If it's that guy you linked before with the silver scheme, he's a moron with an ax to grind.
Some guy I heard on CNN, forgot his name. There's another guy named Nouriel Roubini whose a professor of NYU and he claims that a "perfect storm" of economic disasters may smash the global economy by 2013.
Roubini's perfect storm consists of four factors:
- The U.S.'s basket-case of an economy and budget deficit,
- A potential slowdown in China,
- European debt restructuring and
- Stagnation in Japan.
He says that there's a one-in-three chance that these factors will clobber economic growth in 2013 which is 1 year shy of that skeptic I mentioned that believes stock market crashes happen every seven years, the last one happening in 2007 a year before the Recession took a major effect from swindling of greed on Wall Street.
The good news is that there's a two-in-three chance that the world economy can manage to dodge a bullet like when the Obama Administration prevented the U.S. from entering a 2nd Great Depression with the Stimulus Packages (assumingly).
Roubini also said this, "Everybody's kicking the can down the road of too much public and private debt. The can is becoming heavier and heavier, and bigger on debt, and all these problems may come to a head by 2013 at the latest."
Yeah but it would take $22 Trillion to fix the entire infrastructure of the United States. Nobody has that kind of money as far as I know. Sure we can fix the infrastructure in sums but to do a full $22 Trillion is almost impossible, plus the recent Mississippi floods was due to failure in infrastructure and in part caused by our Armed Forces anyway.
Not only do we need to fix unemployment, we also need to fix the Nation's Debt/Deficit, create more jobs, regulate Government spending, and possibly make a new Amendment to the Constitution to make sure another financial crisis like this one never happens again. Though skeptics say that another one is looming in 2014 which is not that far away or If the U.S. dies this year financially later is still in question I presume.
According to an Online Poll on CNN, nearly half of America (48% actually) believe that the country is heading towards a far worse scenario than a Double-Dip Recession later this year but a 2nd Great Depression at least according to this article I found:
Ultimately, though, there are so many factors in the economy that saying one person was responsible for the depression is a sign of ignorance. People can use it as a debate point because most people don't realize how complicated the economy actually is.
I thought we were under a Recession not a Depression, sure the news media said that we are under the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression but nobody has specifically stated that we are in a 2nd Great Depression at least according to financial experts these days.
If that were the case the current state of the economy would be much worse than it already is even though it's not as good as it was back in 2006 before the crash. I'm also assuming that market crashes happen every seven years so is it safe to say that the next stock market crash is supposed to happen in 2014 which is 3 years from now?
I'm really curious, most of the blame I hear was from Goldman Sachs, Bernie Madoff, AIG, and Wall Street. Is there any proof that former President George W. Bush sold America out?
I wonder how different the United States would be if instead of fighting two wars, we used that money and invested in education, infrastructure and expanding broadband in the United States. And maybe actually created the Super Collider, instead of ceding physics achievement to the Europeans.
Super Collider? You mean the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that's being built in Switzerland to test the Big Bang Theory and has a likelihood of destroying the universe and life itself? No thanks.
So apparently the sexual assault issue with Lara Logan during the Egyptian Protests has raised concern as to whether or not that we've reached a point in society and mankind where it's more difficult than ever to distinguish whose good and evil.
There's a growing Muslim problem in today's world and for every Muslim that supports Democracy and Freedom there's another than promotes violence and radicalism. What's with the hate?

2 Priest of Urabrask

Swiftfoot Boots basically gives an Equipped creature I control Hexproof and Haste meaning that they can't target my Exarch with Splinter Twin as long as I have the boots slapped onto Deciever Exarch and Splinter Twin. Blasting Station helps me ping infinitely once I get my combo off.
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker is backup incase my combo fails and I can make infinite copies of Pestermite as well. Priest of Urabrask is just mana accel to help get my combo off faster. Any help, advice, and or suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it.
