Okay, so this is my new journal. My old journal can be found at kaiserwilhelm42. I'm probably never gonna use that again. So, don't comment on anything there.

( For commenting on old entries... )

But why you'd be interested in lame shit from a few years ago is beyond me. Look to the future. Still, it's here if you liked that shit.

This journal will never be friends-locked, but be prepared for some crude language, random fanaticism, memes, pictures, and other things which should turn most people off from reading this crap, logically speaking. If you're that insane, go right ahead, read on, kid.

"But couldn't we feasibly use that same technology to shoot food at hungry people?" - Bill Hicks

And that's all I can think of to say about this.

Well, yearly Christmas haul was kind of small, but manageable.

• Disgaea DS. Disgaea... for the DS. Hooray, more addictions! (Anybody want to randomly name units for me?)
  
• Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance. How I didn't have a copy of this before...
  
• Cynic - Traced In Air. I'm actually quite glad to have this. This is almost impossible to find.
  
• Living Colour - Vivid
  
• Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All. But I already have several copies of this.
  
• Five mini six-card packs of MTG Zendikar. Boy, if you ever wanted to get shafted on cards... They contain five commons and an uncommon, and a rare occasionally. It would be cheaper, and more efficient, just to buy the single cards, by about a quarter per one of these packs if you opt not to obtain a rare.

Awww, it's the holidays, they suck anyway.

P.S. vycksta do you just control all of my Pokemon's naming, or what?

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

I bought a used copy of Pokemon Diamond for $17.

I chose a female character and named her Tarja. Hee~

*bricks self*

My semester is over.

There is nothing to do.

Damn it.

Okay. My computer is now infected with antivirus software. Just. What.

In recent times, apparently a series of blinds have been recalled, because a small child removed a piece of cord holding them together (not a pull-cord) and strangled him/her/itself with it.

Here, I have a solution to this problem -- and it's not 'let the children die;'

DON'T HAVE BLINDS IN THE SAME ROOM WITH A CHILD!

Simple! No need to be an idiot!

Tonight I went to play at a weekly MTG tournament. Big whoop.

I'm attempting to build a deck centering around making a creature that can't attack unless opponents have certain types of lands, and requires you pay high costs to untap it, into a creature that hands out large amounts of damage every turn. I state that I'm looking for this, and a fellow player states that it actually requires you sacrifice lands. I know he's wrong. I know this because I build the combo before attempting to get the cards, like a smart player would. I explain this to him. He then states that it requires land sacrifices to keep in play. I again tell him he's wrong, which he qualifies by saying that he once owned it.

Well, you don't own it now, so shut the fuck up unless you can produce the card. And if you could, I'd know you're full of shit and be able to prove it to you. Like many players, he probably simply doesn't like the idea of an unblockable 6-or-higher-power creature bearing down on him turn after turn with no way of killing it, and the ability to block it and basically suck up the damage from anything he could throw my way.

This is also the player I won against who lamented that he had Iona [a powerful creature that blocks opponents from playing spells of the color of your choice] in his hand (I was playing monocolor black, so this would be game over for me, pretty much). Well, fat lot of good it's doing there. He complained about how his deck should be winning after I beat him (he went, to my knowledge, 0-4 this game).

Am I overreacting if I say he's a twat? Or do I just hate stupid people that much.

What's wrong with this picture?

Dear LiveJournal,

Please, please, please, please, please allow me to take a few more potshots at Bayonetta. Please?

Also, remind me to finish my style, please.

ZeroedCoho (12:15:47 AM): I dare you to do something completely expected. Because rebellion against the expected is so commonplace that it's become the norm, and is thus expected. Are we so desperate for individualism that we need to rebel against every status quo in existence?

I don't know who this person is, but I had to laugh about this. As clearly I have severe problems and I find this amusing.

So, I changed the design of the journal a little again. Why? Because I could. Why is it all monochromey and why does it use a title like "Elegantly Wasted" with a gratuitous vector brush and even more gratuitous pretty anume girl? Why, because this is LiveJournal. Basically, this is what happens when you piece together the requisites. The too-pretty text, the either lack of or extreme abuse of vivid colors, the blatant depression, the self-deprecation...

...and the weeaboo-ness. Why haven't I added any gratuitous Japanese text yet?

Wow, I am... very, very, very screwed, aren't I.

Oh yeah. Because I forgot:

ATTENTION ALL AMERICANS ON MY FLIST:

Um, what is my obsession with trading card games? I have no money to support this cardboard drug habit...

I almost did it as "dresses up as Michael Jackson," buuuut...

So, hey.

Is anyone here willing to lend me ~$400 U.S. so I can get a PS3 and Brütal Legend?

Why am I playing Final Fantasy X again.

I went 1-4 at the Zendikar (M:TG) release draft. My deck wasn't that great, but I did get some pretty awesome cards out of it, overall... *shrug*

I don't even know why I'm telling you guys.

Oh, and I got Endgame (awesome), Black Gives Way to Blue (very good), The Chair in the Doorway (highly impressive but not a masterwork), and The Resistance (average).

Question: How many goddamn Saw movies do we need? We're up to six.

I'm sorry, but I just saw a commercial for the sixth and I have to ask.
