I got my foil altered with gold by Kevin Altered (you can look for him on FaceBook)! Foiling was free 'cuz it was already foiled, and I got it for the same price as a "normal" alter (10-15 euros) because he didn't count the price of the gold (which was given for free to him by one of his friends). Scans are yet to come, I still haven't got my Angel and my Thalia back :(

I couldnt find it forever.. Yay! I have no idea what one could looke like with gold foiling on it. :3

For my D&T deck, I did order cards from a canadian shop and the ship did cost me something like 7 euros (with tracked delivery), so it should cost that much or a little bit fewer :)

I just found out that The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker was released in 1080p for the wii U in 2013. Never actually played it but watched my brother play it years and years ago. Seems like a good chance to get caught up on that zelda game, it looks gorgeous.
August 25, 2015 10:32 p.m.
I still want one but refuse to shell out for a wii-u.. Def is gorgious in higher res though..
Also since storage, windwaker dives and super swim only work on gamecube.. I should get a new one. :3

Get a Wii U. It's actually worth it, now that they actually have a good arsenal of games. U got Sm4sh, Pokken, Mario Maker, MK8, Hyrule Warriors, Sonic Boom (lel just kidding), Zelda U, and all dat stuff.

Yeah, my brother says the Wii U of all things is the next gen console to buy (next to a PC) because it has the best exclusives out of all the consoles. Its the cheapest too.

Join the club, at ORI prerelease I Skaabed both my Jace and my fixing painland off the top of my deck.
I feel your pain.
August 26, 2015 9:09 a.m.
NecroPony THAT'S what I was forgetting.
At JOU prerelease I pulled 2 MotF and went MBA. Both of my opponent's extra draws led into a removal spell. BLARB.

Hey guys and gals look at this game. Got to 36 with one hell of a report...
It makes my brain hurt. A Lot.
August 26, 2015 10:09 a.m.
Maybe when I can afford to finish my decks and attempt to stem my lust for this cardboard crack.. >.< Its not like I got someone to play with in RL.. A Wii-U would go a long ways..
Anyone know when the new Zelda is slated for release?

So they blew up a building right outside my dorm while I was in chemistry. Fuck you too, education.

So, today is first day of classes at my local college. In my backyard, we have a stone oven with a little table. While I'm at basketball conditioning, apparently two Freshmen were playing Magic out there (they thought it was college property since it's literally 3 feet from college property) and my Mom went out there to ask what they were doing (she didn't see the cards from our window). At this point it's just one of them and he's packing up. They say "Sorry for being here, we thought it was college property etc.", and then my mom is like "Was that Magic?". They say yeah and she explains there's a LGS down the street (woo hoo to my mom being helpful).
THIS WAS ONE OF YOU WASN'T IT

Yea, no. The wii u is definitely NOT the console to get. The ps4 has the best interface/market place, as the XBONE's interface is super clunky.
And personally, I prefer the ps4's controller over the xbone and wii u.
As far as actually GOOD wii u games... That's personal preference. But the ps4 and XBONE have many more top rated games than the Wii U.
Saying that the Wii U has more exclusives is true, as the xbone and ps4 tend to share games that the Wii U doesn't get, but that doesn't mean its exclusives are worth getting.
Honestly as far as I'm concerned, there are three, MAYBE four games that are worth playing on the Wii U. Frankly, if my wii wasn't broken, I wouldn't have bought a Wii U.

HolyFalcon says... #31
Wii U = SSB4, MK8, Splatoon, Zelda, Mario, and all the other sweet Nintendo characters.
Nintendo should just say 'screw it' and try to make XBONE and PS4 games. 10/10 would buy.

Wii-U - best party games
PS4 - best games overall
Xbox1 - more comfortable controls.

So, I'm in 7th grade, right? And one of the requirements for my Tech class is to successfully copy/paste words and images.

The worst part is that some people in my class DON'T know how to do that -shudders-

As far as exclusives go, the only ps4 exclusives that are fantastic are The Last of Us: Remastered and Bloodborne. The exclusives so far have been very lacking. This is ignoring independent games, such as the ones that appear for $5-$30 on the store.
However, the few the ps4 DOES get will hopefully be like the few the ps3 got, far and above better than the other system exclusives. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is looking to be amazing, keep an eye on it if you own a ps4.
The Last of Us is widely accredited as the best game of all time, and whether or not you agree with that, it was unarguably the best game of the last gen. If you have access to a ps3 or ps4 and haven't played it, I highly recommend you get it asap.

I've been caught for plagiarism once because I procrastinated up till night before having to turn in the paper.
So, the teacher could tell I used a thesaurus, and her point was an F or an incomplete for all I can remember of my schooling.
August 26, 2015 8:22 p.m.
...using a thesaurus can not get you accused of plagiarism. It's literally a book that has words that mean similar things to other words.
Unless, of course, you plagiarized something else and used a thesaurus to change words around. That can and will get you expelled from a private school/college/university.
August 26, 2015 8:26 p.m. Edited.
The thing is; I copied texted, then used a thesaurus to change words in pretty much every sentence, so yeah, teacher still called me out for plagiarism. Simple to do and a bit obvious. I was crunched for time that night - I would rather read other's English writings like as I was in Elementary. High School just got me swamped with so much "extra" work. I probably thought much of it was unwanted by me. More like...not needed to be done.
August 26, 2015 8:34 p.m.
I didn't gather much "knowledge" from college, either

Once, a class of mine was given a reading test, and aside from me and one other person, everyone got terrible grades. Not even the 3 kids out of 5 in the grade to be in the gifted program got higher than an 80, and some of the fairly smart kids failed. The two kids with acceptable scores just sat around while the rest of the period was dedicated to the other students trying to explain in written form how they did so utterly terrible at the simple task. But then again, one of these kids did think that death was caused not by age, but by the slow poisoning through oxygen which is according to his theory toxic.
August 26, 2015 8:43 p.m.
ItchiUchiha117 says... #42
Well, technically, oxygen can be toxic. It's just what amounts of it there are and in what forms. And, technically, age isn't what kills you, it's your organs deteriorating after being worked for so long and then no longer producing new cells for repairs. He's not entirely wrong, just mostly wrong.
August 26, 2015 8:52 p.m.
TheNextRedDude says... #43
ItchiUchiha117, You say that, but so did I.
"Well, well with pressure, or large amounts, of oxygen, it can be toxic."
"No, no. I'm saying ALL Oxygen is poisonous.
August 26, 2015 8:56 p.m.
ItchiUchiha117 says... #44
Yeah, that's kinda stupid. I mean, I think there's some kind of thing that basically says oxygen does actually cause some small amount of damage to cells, but not enough to worry about. Like, scratching an itch causes more damage.
August 26, 2015 8:58 p.m.
Some people
Are so stupid
That they can't even do basic division
In high school.

I was in my MULTI fucking VARIABLE CALCULUS class and some one asked (and I quote) "what is the quadratic formula?"
WTF people? You are in college level calculus. It's your third calculus class, how do you not know what the quadratic formula?
August 26, 2015 9:47 p.m.
I just said I was dumb over the phone and I usually would call myself and idiot.
Basically, "that" is just stupid. Like saying an everyday, sometimes random, occurrence is "stupid".
~that's stupid~

Not going to lie, I almost forgot how to do long division at the beginning of AP Calculus last year. Almost. As you stop using your calculator and start doing wonky shit in math, you might forget long division for maybe a minute. But in calculus, you do a lot of things by hand without one so learn that shit.

To be fair to some people, I sometimes I can't do addition. According to my BC calculus final I said that 3+6=-7. I don't have a clue what I was thinking but that was the only thing I got wrong so no harm done.

It's okay. On my AP Chem test, I said 12 + 4 = 39. To be fair, however, I thought my CH4 was ClH4 (which isn't a thing). Those damn H's made me think there was an l after the C.
