...i just got absolutely wrecked by the first gym leader. I didn't even kill the first pidgey.

I used to play pokemon. I started in diamond/pearl. got a glitched turtwig as my starter. like, REALLY glitched. It had the stats and attacks of torterra (the full evo) and I have no idea why. it was a beast.

For standard, are there any good Drown in Sorrow/Anger of the Gods replacements in ktk for post-rotation?

May 27, 2015 9:53 p.m.

Ashcloud Phoenix could work, so could Silumgar, the Drifting Death, but nothing else...

How do those have anything to do with drown or anger? The point of them is to kill aggro completely for just 3 mana.

Here's hoping for a mutilate reprint in origins

May 27, 2015 10:04 p.m.

then no. I assumed you meant things that could potencially wipe boards. still, no.

Crap.

Up here in MA it's hot as fuck.

I heard there's a way to use ice in a bag to keep your scalp cool while you sleep. Do you guys know anything about this?

May 27, 2015 10:07 p.m.

If you have a breeze or at least a window, instead of just blowing the hot air around your home, set up a through-breeze by putting a pair of box fans at opposite sides of the room, preferably with one in the window, to either draw cooler air in and push hot air out of your room, or push the hot air out of your house entirely. Either way, the through-breeze in your room will make it easier to sleep.

I dunno, put a bag of ice under your pillow. That way you could flip the pillow, and it would be cold. I am just making this up, and have never tried it. Make sure you have some non leaking bags if you do this.

May 27, 2015 10:10 p.m.

Scorprix says... #11

Hm, I like these ideas! :D

May 27, 2015 10:12 p.m.

Scorprix says... #12

Would putting a bag of ice behind a fan help? That would cool the air, right?

May 27, 2015 10:15 p.m.

GoldGhost012 says... #13

Cool as the other side of the pillow.

May 27, 2015 10:15 p.m.

Didgeridooda says... #14

I actually really like my own idea. I am thinking one of those hot water bottle bag things. They stay pretty strongly sealed. I think I will do that this summer.

VampireArmy says... #15

I once saw a YouTube video posted about how to make a makeshift ac unit.

Dude put dry Ice in a container and used a fan to blow the cold air out

Problem? Yes.

Breathing in the fumes is toxic...

People were actually posting about how smart it was and how they wanted to try it.

Didgeridooda

Just tried it! Success!

May 27, 2015 10:28 p.m.

Scorprix says... #17

I used an ice pack though, so you need to make sure to double bag. The strict upgrade over that is though to put the bag INSIDE the case, so only a small layer of cloth exists between you and the cold. This means no flipping required!

May 27, 2015 10:32 p.m.

Didgeridooda says... #18

That is a good idea. We are working together to get things done.

May 27, 2015 10:35 p.m.

Scorprix says... #19

There is one big problem though: Now you can feel the ice digging into your scalp, and it hurts a bit. We need more ideas. I already tried putting a shirt in the way. Then not enough cold got through.

May 27, 2015 10:39 p.m.

lol Vamp some people....

Get a flexible ice pack. They are actually for people to use on their flesh and come with cloth covers specifically for stuff like frostbite protection. They are awesome.

May 27, 2015 11:04 p.m.

Famous: it has triple digits...

May 27, 2015 11:08 p.m.

Tibs: It was 99 three secs ago. Derp just got number 100 :)

May 27, 2015 11:08 p.m.

Oh I see lol

May 27, 2015 11:09 p.m.

Scorprix says... #27

I don't have any of those. All I got are bags with ice. What now?

May 27, 2015 11:10 p.m.

Like, literally just bags with ice in them? Well, you could put water in bags and freeze it into a flat sheet that you put in your pillow. You could also go get some ice packs like for lunch bags, freeze them, and then slightly thaw them so they're softer.

May 27, 2015 11:13 p.m.

....hehe..... I just got a brilliant deck idea......hehehehehhe.....

;)

May 27, 2015 11:26 p.m.

so, lets do conversation stuff

Are social networking sites effective, or are they just a sophisticated means for stalking people?

@novice wut?

May 27, 2015 11:26 p.m.

Depends on what you mean by effective. I use Facebook to talk to my best friend because he doesn't have a phone. I also use for organizing Magic meetups with my buddies and for keeping in touch with friends who have moved away.

Don't dilute the purity of the Temur way, Scorprix. Trust in the Dragonclaw. It will lend its might to yours.

But seriously, I'll check the list. I think Temur Dragons can stand on their own without splashing, though.

May 27, 2015 11:34 p.m.

@Derp, you'll see in about three minutes.

Need movie recommendations. I like Horror mostly, stuff like Martyrs, Frontieres, 28 Weeks Later, The Conjuring & The Possession of Micheal King. I like interesting oddball movies about life too like Big Fish. On occasion the badass action flick like Bloodsport or Homefront. Or comedy like The Family & Walk of Shame.

May 27, 2015 11:42 p.m.

APPLE01DOJ says... #37

Ryotenchi don't feel bad, we all do that.

May 27, 2015 11:44 p.m.

kyuuri117 says... #38

Apple, google "imgur horror movies". Lists of horror movies make it onto them periodically, and it's usually decent stuff

I'm still here... (whistling)

May 28, 2015 12:34 a.m.

I'm back, as per your request.

May 28, 2015 12:37 a.m.

and I'm gone again.

So the fan thing worked very well. : )

What do you think is the standard playability of the new lili?

May 28, 2015 12:42 a.m.

Defpotec says... #47

Did you try the dry ice method? :3

May 28, 2015 12:42 a.m.

Scorprix says... #48

No. I put normal ice behind the fan. Helped chill the air.

Deefpotec, for some reason your username shows up in color in my notifications, while no one else's does. Weird.

It's because I've mastered the dark arts. :D
