Get a job. ^_^

Also I am currently writing a story that is actually not a piece of... you know what I write. It's something new, and the whole entire thing is an in-joke (but it's not about you guys.)

RealRed

Dude, you should really do some less-sexual shit. It would be cool.

you really should know most of this is UK law (some of it is outdated though)

GF_Kennon is an outlaw >:(
He didn't serve his 2 hours of crossbow training today!

The sad thing is, they are all real and still legal today like James said! :lol:

Alrighty, so my boss at Subway recently started playing the card game Magic : The Gathering.  And he's always blah blah blahing about it and asking if I play it.
When I was in high school I played it for about 4-6 months, but I played yu-gi-oh ALOT more. (since I'm better at that game :P)  When I stoped playing Magic, I gave all my cards to my friend that got me into the game.  And that was that, or so I thought.

But yesterday, my boss was blah blah blahing again, and I'm like, "so what kind of deck do you use?" and so I decided pfft why not, and went and bought some cards.

So... the moral of the story?
DON'T LISTEN TO STORYS YOUR BOSS TELLS YOU OR YOU MIGHT SPEND MONEY ON SHIT YOU KINDA WANT BUT NOT REALLY!!!
I like green and blue decks, I need to get more cards before I can make a good saproling/counter deck.

Digital_Mantra

I played Magic for several years, and probably still would if all my cards weren't stolen.

I used to have a mean sliver deck full of untap cards like icy manipulators and rings of gix.
Had a friend that collected only elephant cards. He wore elephant shirts too. And made sounds..
You meet some strange characters playing magic.

The funnest thing about Magic is playing with random people who engage in debates on what the cards do.
You'd think the rules are simple enough, but that's rarely the case. People misinterpret and want to argue.

There was that stupid silly edition with the crazy cards, one of them being the Blacker Lotus.
It does what the infamous Black Lotus does but you have to tear it into 4 pieces after use.
This guy used to scrape the edge so there was the card, and 3 specs on the table.
People would scream and rant but his logic was ineffable. It was indeed in 4 pieces. Asshole.
I ripped his card up when he tried that on me and he kicked me very hard in the shin.
I still have a soft mushy spot there. At the time you could get a Blacker Lotus for 10 cents...

Zhs2

Pfffffft, trading cards. Never could get into the habit of buying cards, myself. I have a huge box of Pokemon cards laying around here somewhere, but I only use it to battle with my brother and sister occasionally. :grin:

Lawl at your boss getting you back into playing again. :lol:

Lunaria

I have lot's of magic card but no one at fucking all to play with.  ;(

zephyrtronium

I have a killer Yu-Gi-Oh! combo set up in one of my 3 decks: Cat's Ear Tribe (200-100 (iirc), 3 stars, with a special that reduces the attack of anything attacking it to 200) + 2xMalevolent Nuzzler (+700atk) + Black Pendant (+500atk, inflicts 500 damage when destroyed) + Raregold Armor (opponent can only attack monster equipped). Makes my entire side invincible to everything but effects that specifically destroy cards, and if my opponent decides to attack they lose 1900 life points. Very good in combination with Mucus Yolk (0-0, 1 star, with special attack life points directly plus gain 1000 atk with every attack) and something to kill Black Holes and Fissions and such.

Another Yu-Gi-Oh! combo I can use is Blue Eyes (you know the info) followed by Great Maju Garzett (0-0, 6 stars, with special attack is 2x attack of the monster sacrificed for this) the next turn followed by another Great Maju Garzett. 12000atk is fun.

3 ~ Salvage ~ Spell

1 ~ Mystical Space Typhoon ~ Quickplay Spell
1 ~ Wave Motion Cannon ~ Continious Spell

[/spoiler]

This deck is designed to be defense until I get my power hitters into play.  This deck regains life, recycles cards from the graveyard, and is quite hard to knock out when I get my combos set up!

A few of my favorites:
[spoiler]- Salvage + Penguin Soilders = fun monsters back to my hand.  This PISSES people off to no end, since Pengiun Soilder returns up to two monsters on the feild to the owners hand.  I use this with my many  defense traps to keep my opponent from attacking me, but returning all his high lvled monsters back to his hand. XP

- Magician of Faith + Pot of Avarice = INFINATE DECK BITCHES!  Allthough my opponent can counter this, I have back-ups to return Pot of Avarice back to me.  Book of Hidden Spells, and Recycle are handy for this. :3

- Cats Ear Tribe + Heart of Clear Water = almost indestructable defense.  Heart of Clear Water can only be equiped to monster 1200 or less, but it makes them IMMUNE TO ANY DAMAGE AND EFFECTS THAT ONLY TARGET IT! Of course, things like Lightning Vortex will kill my kitty, but eh...

- Legendary Ocean + Tornado Wall + Levia-Dragon - Daedalus = SUPER DEATH!  Tornado Wall will keep me from taking Damage as long as Umi on the feild (legendary Ocean counts as Umi :D) Then I can summon Daedalus with only one sacrifice and kill everything on the feild, leaving me an pot shot on my opponent.  Mage Power on Daedalus helps alot in this combo![/spoiler]

edit:
From this point on, it will be referred to as the FLOOD DECK!  I don't care if you use this set-up, but be a nice kiddy and thank the good man squishy for making such a kickass deck for youz! :3

DSO

I liked the Star Wars card game by Decipher, but never even got any of those other types of card games besides the ones played with your typical four suits...


I may have a job soon.

I have lot's of magic card but no one at fraking all to play with.  ;(

If we lived closer, I would play.  I still have all of my cards, and a bunch of killer decks.  Woo.  All hail the Merfolk deck!  XD  Hey, don't laugh.  I won two tournaments with it. 

Man, I miss Magic...

Played basketball for a few hours with friends yesterday. I did alright considering the last time I played was nearly a year ago, but my head got banged up from errant flying basketballs and zealous defenders bumping me in the head.

Now I have major head pain to go along with a sore body.

Okay, guys. Get ready for "that one omg whut post in the Talk topic you all didn't care about."

My new computer died. Apparently, it was on its knees for the past few days due to overheating from a rather large amount of dust, destroying the heat sink compound above the brotherboard (stupid stupid stupid! >_<) I'm not sure exactly what it was that did it in (it still turns on but refuses to boot,) but I know I can't use it to do anything. I'm currently contacting the vendor I purchased it from because I've got a year warranty left (w00t!), but from now on it's gonna be the old laptop I used before my newest computer (if I can NOT get caught by my dad) or Blood's.

I'd like to end this post with a most appropriate

I remember a few years ago, I was playing basketball, and I had braces on my teeth.
The ball flew into my mouth and pushed the inside of my top lip into my braces and I had little dints inside my lip for a few weeks.
It didn't hurt much, but it was bleeding heaps.

I just returned from my first drive on the real roads.  It was pretty exciting, knowing that I was not just driving in a parking lot anymore.  I still have a few months before I get my license, though.

squishy_ichigo

Well, I hope your not going to be like 90% of the people on the road who don't use their turn signals correctly.  It pisses me off to no end!  Just the other day, some jerk off had his turn signal on, so I ASSUMED he was turning, so I start to pull out, and he doesn't turn, and almost hits me.

Turn signals aren't so YOU know whereyour going, its for OTHER PEOPLE to know, so they can drive accordingly.  It makes driving harder/more dangerous when people do this kind of shit.

anywho, I temp changed my signature!

My sister's learning to drive. She's 17, and my intelligent mother decided not to teach her how to drive in my father's sedan but in her gigantic Americanized SUV, this 2006 Honda, and poor Katy can't really grasp the concept of a car as big as the lane. She's either partly over the double yellow or practically in the right side of parked cars, and while my mother is going into cardiac arrest, I'm just sitting in the backseat giggling because for once, I KNOW HOW IT FEELS. haha

I'm 18 and I doubt I ever will drive, my father is a Truck driver so he's quite a hard worked person, he dives the artics, and is often late home.

Guess its the bike for me  :icon_razz:
