    Congrats on the finish. Your articles really are great to read Smile

    Why would it be illegal to remove 2 Dousings and put in 3 Lullabies? My understanding is that, while there is a 60 card minimum, there is no maximum. For games 2 and 3, you could play with all 75 cards if you so desired.


    Whenever you sideboard in a Constructed format, you have to trade cards between main-deck and sideboard on a 1-for-1 basis; one out, one in. Sixty is the minimum and you can play as many as you want, but your main-deck size always has to be the same at the start of each game.

    I love your writing. The suspense was pretty great and I was hoping you'd win, but you seemed to take it well, all told.

    Ahahaha Cuil. I hate that search.

    And all you privacy nuts, their EULA has been edited (so the part I quoted no longer exists), and running Chrome in inCognito mode means they don't track your browsing.

    It's all wallpapers that do that. And I can put icons in the black space just fine... like I said, it's like Windows adds that black space to the desktop picture and shoves the rest of the picture to the right. I'll see about resolutions, but I hate having everything be hyoog.

    EDIT: ... ahaha. So I switch to 800x600, nothing changes except now my desktop looks right. I don't understand technology.

    But hey, another question! So I've moved into an apartment for school and we're provided internet by a company called WiFiFree or some such. Now, IRC and AIM work fine and at regular speed, but browsing the web is horrendously slow more often than not. Any thoughts?

    As a note, the EULA has been revised (it is a stock Google EULA, though I still think they're dumb for copy-pasta), and Google watching everywhere you go to can be removed by removing Autosuggest.

    I still won't use Chrome, for a variety of reasons. One of my friends also posted something I feel is pretty relevant: Hmm. I think there's Firefox extensions for just about every Chrome feature except for the blazing speed.

    I've recently learned absinthe is legal in the States, and I've since had some (it being quite delicious). I was wondering what experiences people have had with the green fairy, if any.

    Well, what's a Sidebar? Slant Chances are I don't use it, as I disable most Windows stuff.

    Also, as you can see, I can use the space on the left. I just hate icons on my desktop - I like the pictures too much.

    I have a laptop, actually. Should've mentioned that before, huh?

    Attached is a snapshot of my desktop (it is, I just delete all the icons). The thing is, that giant black space on the left side shouldn't be there. I don't know how it got there; the only thing I can think of is I use a S-video cable to watch movies on my TV and switch my resolution to 1024x768 (it's normally 1280x800), but when I have it on an extended desktop, my TV will show the desktop normally, without the black bar. The other odd thing I've noticed is the black bar doesn't just seem to take up space. It pushes the entire desktop to the right, so it gets cut off (which is really a shame, since a huge chunk of my desktops are right-centric).

    I'm on Vista Home Premium (and I don't like Macs and can dual-boot into Linux but can't get wifi on it to work, so don't go there).

    A few quirks have appeared regarding the security of information along it, but until I have more information I'd rather not comment.


    Something like this?

    Is this better than FireFox 3?


    That's such a horrible question to ask. Without even getting into general preferences (I've been using FF3 since it was in beta and have used Firefox for well over two years), how do you mean 'better'? Performance, speed, power, what?

    That said, I've liked playing with Chrome, but I've already put a few too many of my eggs into Google's clutch.

    Why does every answer to a Vista (or hell, even a Windows problem) end up being a smart-aleck one that always advertises Linux? I use both and both have their uses.

    Mini-rant aside, I have no idea SSJ. It does the same thing to me, but I don't really pay much attention to the folder view anyway.

    Aren't Jagerbombs bad for you, considering it's caffeine + alcohol (depressant)? So I heard at least. Regardless, it still tastes disgusting.

    I just started drinking beer, and while I still find it highly not-tasty, I've found I can drink Budweiser (not Bud Light, regular Bud). Out of curiosity, where does that fall in the range of beers (light to dark, etc.)?

    Vodka's where it's at for drinks, anyway. My personal favorite is vodka + orange juice + grenadine (a small amount, in comparison to the rest).

    Quote from Wildfire393
    Except the tender only adds based on having a permanent of a specific color. It does not add one for each permanent you control, only one for each color of which you have at least one permanent.


    The lands still add mana, so he could drop both Shusher and Tarmogoyf second turn.

    As far as Bloom Tender itself... I'm still underwhelmed.

    I'll admit that I skipped most of the article - Vintage theorizing isn't really my thing - but reading these comments has been rather... enlightening.

    When I saw the B/R changes, I'll admit I was shocked - I used to play quite a bit, though it's been a while. I saw how ubiquitous Brainstorm was, and it was always solid at what it did. I followed Flash and Gush, though I never watched how Ponder got into the Vintage scene. While I have my opinions on the matter, they don't much matter here - I think it's more in how I express them.

    To everyone who's calling this article the worst ever, that the analogies used are the worst ever, etc. etc - careful of that splinter in your eye.
