I honestly can't see the appeal. I've played other Pokemon games but the franchise has grown old for me.

It's a lot of fun. I hadn't played any Nintendo DS and onward Pokemon games, and didn't download this cuz I thought it sounded meh. But honestly, it's addicting as hell.

Think of it a guided tour with Pokemon inserted into it.

I got my Mom into it about five minutes after she was saying what a stupid game it was.
Now its her favorite thing to do along with the new stepfather.
She's over 40.
It caused my girlfriend, who has some decently strong social anxiety, to go out exploring the town and battling gyms and interact with total strangers, all day, by herself, on her day off while I was at work one day.
Just let that sink in.

I got a new job today. I'm going to be a security officer at the local elementary school making probably twice as much as I make at target because I'm guaranteed 6 hrs a day 5 days a week. I'm going to work nights at target though for maximum earning
July 19, 2016 3:25 p.m.
That's awesome Vamp!
I always thought any kind of security job would be fun. My best friend has been doing security jobs ever since we graduated. His main job right now is LP manager at the local Sears. Kind of jealous of him (and his pay). It seems like an interesting field to get into after you've basically been doing logistics, warehousing, and sales for the last three years.

Well considering they offered me better pay and guaranteed better hours (5.5 hrs a day 5 days a week) it's going to become my primary job. I'll work target nights and weekends for the extra mtg finances. I really want to start going to gps soon and get better at drafting.

Thanks. I'll tell you one thing. Eldritch sealed is a bitch if your pool is generally shallow. I ended up with a huge amount of white top end and very little of anything else and 0 bombs. Had to rig a wr splash tiny black deck to even get along and even then I went 2 wins 1 loss and a total score of 3-3

All these disappointing legends we've gotten for tribals lately makes me wonder what you guys would hope from a Zombie commander in Grixis colors. Any takers?
July 20, 2016 8:41 p.m.
Grixis Zombie? How pushed?
I'm thinking 2 mana, R/UB (The either red or blue symbol).
If an opponent has more than 10 life, Grixis Zombie has Hexproof. If an opponent has 10 or less life, Grixis Zombie has Haste. Whenever you cast a zombie spell with a cmc of 3 or greater, return Zombie from the grave untapped.
Mythic, obviously.

My back decided to crap out on me. Entire right side is knotted up and basically unusable.
Screw scoliosis.

I like it! How about when you cast a Zombie, you get one of equal or lesser CMC?

@kyuuri117 the only decks that'd be used in assuming its printed in an edh supplement would be
-grixis storm decks
-tiny leaders
I mean, imagine this in storm with Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar
July 24, 2016 2:19 a.m.
I could have been clearer. I meant the mana cost was a total of two. One black mana, and one hybrid blue/red mana, so that it could be used in UB zombies or BR zombies. Or grixis. And it not legendary. And I didn't mention p/t, it's a 2/2 or 2/1.
July 24, 2016 11:01 a.m.
DERPLINGSUPREME says... #23
oh, I assumed it was meant to be legendary. Okay, not as broken then but I'm afraid your concept doesn't work. If its mana cost is 
then it can only be played in grixis due to its colour identity.
I guess I'm still thinking of edh though, but who legitimately plays ub or br zombies in modern or anything? If this was in modern, once again, i think it would easily become busted. It'd be like Bloodghast
July 24, 2016 11:43 a.m. Edited.
That was the point, honestly. I was trying to create a busted zombie for modern that needed to be both bested in combat, and eventually exiled.

Happy birthday Tibs.
Also, just got a crossbow.
Not super fancy, but i've been convinced to go Thragtusk hunting at the end of August, and the place we're going doesn't allow rifles.

Well I just got my first Rishadan Port out of 5...
Total accident too...

After some thinking, this is what I came up with for a Grixis Zombie legend.
Card Name - 2UBR
Legendary Creature - Zombie Warrior
Haste
When Card Name deals combat damage to a player, put the top three cards of your library into your graveyard. You may then return a Zombie creature card with converted mana cost three or less from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
3/4
Thoughts?
In other news, work's been pretty nuts lately. I'm barely ever on TO anymore. I can't even remember the last time I looked at a deck without being asked to do so.
July 27, 2016 8:03 p.m.
so, I basically have spent the last 2 months working or sleeping, and I finally got a chance to look at my second round of SAT scores. first time around I got 1400 even. my dad's reaction to this round was "Shit, are you serious?" because I looked at it and I expected like 1400-ish again, but nope. apparently I got 1500. so maybe that can offset my awful GPA.

I just clocked off of an eight and a half hour shift. The closest thing to a break I got during that time was a quick visit to the restroom. My leg feels like it's going to give out.

I've been volunteering with kids over the summer with 9 hour days and it isn't nearly that bad, at least we get lunch
July 28, 2016 12:28 a.m.
So today is my last day as an external employee for the company I work for.
I'll be starting a new job Monday as an internal employee. Probably won't be on tappedout nearly as often unfortunately. :(

Guys, I just have been admitted in the French national aviation school (ENAC, Ecole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile)! And during my aeronautic engineeringhy studies, I have a 95% chance to be recruited by a big company, while I'll be allowed to fly for an extremely cheap price (-70% on the flight hour price!).
I am sooo happy right now! :D

For those of you that don't know, I play lots of League of Legends. Due to a stress injury on my wrist and having to do a fuckton of work, I took something of a 3-month hiatus from the game a while back. I've now began to play regularly again, but the climb to get back to diamond is rough considering I currently have the mechanical abilities of pickled fish.
I'm currently in my Plat I promotions and I'm 1 for 2. I just finished a game that was my first truly toxic experience of the past months. Our jungle made a minor mistake 5 minutes in ganking top and died. Our top then proceeded to flame him until he gave up, which then prompted our mid and jungle to also give up. What followed was 15 minutes of name-calling and flaming.
Feels bad, man...

Gave up on LoL years ago, have never regretted it. There's something about highly competitive free to play online games that seems to draw out the worst people.
However speaking of games, I remembered I had purchased Shadowrun: Dragonfall on steam and finally decided to check it out (first Shadowrun RPG, only other Shadowrun game I've played was the Xbox 360 game which I loved).
And honestly? Only three hours in and it's one of the best RPG's I've played in a while. Honestly makes me want to try and learn how to play the actual Shadowrun tabletop RPG. Very cool universe.

I got INSIDE today. Great environment, and definitely worth the money if any of you are on the fence. I played LIMBO (the precursor to INSIDE), and am once again amazed by the devs.

I think I hate my brain right now. Not even for the obvious reasons like the depression or the anxiety or the psychosis, no no no. I'm about to start playing Dark Souls for a while. It needs an update, so I'm just sitting here staring at the screen (XB1, because Day 1 copy of DS3) and I think to myself, "I should start a draft on MTGO, I can totally pull that off while playing this." The fuck?
August 2, 2016 2:52 a.m.
kyuuri117 - shadowrun tabletop rpg is terrible. it's like warhammer. the art and lore and universe is great but the game itself just doesn't work.
