Urgh, probably over $1000 between YuGiOh, Pokemon, M:tG, and Digimon. I was a YuGiOh fiend as a child and kept my deck as strong as possible, though little kid sensibilities got in the way a lot. For example, I ran Double Snare in triplicate side deck because I had like 13 traps back when more than 5 was high.Ben Terriblelastname said:
MTG atm. WotC does kind of a shitty job of balancing, but at least they try. I haven't played YuGiOh since they banned chaos so very long ago, but whenever I see games it seems like such a far cry from the game I loved that I lose interest in getting back into it. YGO when I played was basically "your 40 best cards" or Warriors or WATER or Zombies. Shit like Toons and Archfiends and Spirits weren't really viable. Gravekeepers also were around.Zy said:
I prefer YGO PGD backwards to any MTG metagame.
Jace is one of my favorite walkers and I wish he'd gone UB rather than Tezzy so I'd have a nonartifact walker in my favorite colors, but Ajani has way more straight-up offensive capability, especially when he's vengeant. Jace would get stomped by the original Ajani's ultimate, and I'm betting the new Ajani that they're probably making in Innistrad will have some sick new stuff that blows the lame new Jace out of the water.Zy said:
Yeah, she got caught me and it blows dicks.Oh Danny Boy said:

I like genetics. I wanted to be a genetic engineer for the longest time, and if I do well in Biology in college I may decide to pursue it again. Being a writer doesn't really need a degree, tbh, and it can always be a secondary thing. When I was v young I wanted to be a comedian or an actor too...but I am too ugly probably to be an actor.NatGeo said:
idk, I like all my avatars.NatGeo said:
English right now, might switch to something else. I'm taking a Psychology course and plan on taking Econ next semester. I wanna expand my horizons before really committing to something.Dixie said:
I think he died ): I have not seen hide nor hair of Duncan for a loooooooooooooong time and he was way too invested in all this shit to just up and leave. I'd like for him to come back, but...................SkarmBlissCounter said:
DPPt. BW LC was Eviolite so it's kind of boring. DP LC with 70acc Hypnosis and no tutors was my favorite Pokemon metagame ever probably.sbc said:
Superman. Hulk can't breathe in space, so Supes can just do what he did to Parasite in secret origins and fly him out into space, wait for him to pass out, and bring him home safe and sound as Bruce Banner.ozzy oh god all these numbers why said:

Have a nice day. It's the end of an age, but I doubt hip will stick with it. Relapse is so very easy.man I am English major what do you want me to do with all these millions of digits said:
DP LC is. BW LC is roughly equivalent with Gen4 CaP UU, which was UU with Pyroak and Cyclohm. I got to the finals of the CaP Tour for it before Poopazing haxed me out ):<iss said:
I guess. I do not know by which metric one measures a well, but I have tried to put some thought into most of my answers and make them enjoyable to read. So, thanks, I think!Poppycock said:
Spiderman and Wolverine. Spiderman's banter is endearing and all, but the nonstop melodrama and bitching really irks me. He's the antithesis of my favorite hero type, invincible god, which Supes, Silver Surfer, Bats, GL, and almost Iron Man all fall under.Poppycock said:
Wolverine has bloated from a shitty secondary character to a boring primary character. He is much less interesting than you would be lead to believe.
Did you read it or read it? Did you know Rorschach's mask is different in every panel, except for three where it is identical? Once towards the beginning and the pattern is repeated towards the end in Ozzy's lair. If you read his narration and dialogue and compare the masks it is really kind of mind-blowing. Plus, right at the end, the mask where it looks like two lovers mirrors not only Nite/Spectre, but the origin scene where we see his mom's silhouette. There are so many little details that you miss on your first, second, and third runthroughs. Every time I read Watchmen I get something new out of it, and I have read it very carefully with focuses on different things. Rorschach's mask, Dr. Manhattan's dialogue, Ozymandias's dialogue, the pirate comic, the black shrink, etc. It's such a surprisingly rich work that I never get sick of it.Poppycock said:
Well, it was...faithful. I enjoyed it. But it could have been so much more. They did very little by way of actually adapting it. The removal of the giant vagina octopus was good, but other than that...why not just read the graphic novel? It made them look more superhuman, yeah, but it didn't take advantage of film as a medium like Watchmen took advantage of the comicbook as a medium. It captured the story perfectly, but some of the spirit and intent was lost. It was a nearly perfect replication, and in that way failed to be a true adaptation. Plus Rorschach's mask as a motif gets lost entirely because it isn't being caught in still frames and really, did anyone even want to see a giant, glowing blue dick? I didn't notice until someone pointed it out, but come on.Poppycock said:
i read it, i did notice Rorschach's mask changing every panel, but did not notice when it was the same, the significance also failed to make itself apparent to me.
how did you get caught smoking? my dad almost caught me, walked into my room right after and smelled smoke, scariest shit ever.
apart from the pier incident, do you have any other deeply embedded fears? irrational/rational/otherwise

Yeah. I had planned to go to Indy this year, but stuff came up and it didn't work out. Dubs, Fishy, and I were gonna vape ):NatGeo said:
I got modded, so my first thought was "I guess I'd better edit all of these thread titles in C&C" and "Why can't I tag threads, just let me tag threads, I am practically begging you"NatGeo said:

There was this girl in high school that I had a massive crush on. She was in several of my classes and played in the same section in band. She was usually p. nice to me, but I really blow at talking to girls, so I never managed to work up the stones to ask her out. She got an attractive aryan boyfriend that she is following to university this year. I wish that I'd asked her out, even if I was rejected so that I didn't regret not going for it.Yuri said:
I have not read it, but if I do I will VM you letting you know !_! I am not a huge fan of the zombie genre.Yuri said:
It's his emotional state. He expresses his emotions pretty poorly, and the mask does a much better job of it.Poppycock said:
My mother came into my room to say "hi" and I was smoking out my window.Poppycock said:
I was not scarred by my near-drowning and I swim just fine these days. I am afraid of penises, including my own. I usually say "penises skieve me out" to express it, but deep down it is a phobia. I try not to look at my own penis even when I can help it.Poppycock said:
If I can, I will, since I think dubs and Jabba will be there.iss said:
The End~
