I guess i could try to update on the same FNM as Sene updated on, only that it was I that played the Triscuit-tron deck, so i guess i do not have to write down that one.
First game was against a pretty rouge monoblack "I dunno" deck, that was a pretty easy beat.
The first game, he opened with a turn one suspend Mindstab, and a turn two suspend corpulent corpse. In the meanwhile, wating for them to resolve, he was playing a couple of spells, that got either remanded or whatever, so he did not manage to do very much at all. Then it was time for all the suspends to resolve. I remanded the mindstab, but i did let the Corpulent Corpse come into play, because I had wrath of god in my hand, and figured that he would play some more creatures if i did not counter the corpse. And so he did, he played lyzolda and some other creature, i dont remember, i am sorry, and then it was my turn, i wrathed, and all the sudden i had a Spell Burst Tron lockdown, and he conseeded after a while.
Round two was against Sene, but you allready know about that match. I did not feel that it was anything i could do to win, so i conseeded game two pretty quick.
Round three.
This time, i played a Rakdos "aggro" deck, with lyzolda and hit/run and lots of crap. The first game was pretty easy, i managed to hold pn to my life total, countring and wrathing, then i got a pretty mad mana base, being able to produce 25 mana a turn, and then i got Triskelavus and the land that fetches it from the graveyard, and I simultaniously had a pretty tight Spell Burst lockdown, so he conseeded.
Game two was a bit harder. I had to mulligan to 5 card, only holding two urza's land as a manabase. But i managed to not die. I got a signet, and a Island, and so on, so i managed to keep away he's dirty lyzoldas and creepy undeads. So all the sudden i got my last tron piece, having 4 signets, 3 Urza's Tower and a lot of other lands in play, so i had a Spell Burst lock, and all the sudden i drew a Triskelavus, and a Academy Ruins and that was the game.
I dont know witch number i got in the results, but i guess it was something like 4'th or something. So i went 2-0-2, with a Triscuit-tron deck i had not played before, never goldfished or anything, just trew it together before the FNM. Pretty fun, i will keep playing it, as it was fun, and good.
For christmas, i got the synt i suspected, (SO NICE!! OH MY GOD, I LOVE IT!!) and some books and a new headset, a KOSS UR-40, pretty nice and expencive. I also got a free 3-booster draft with some of my friends from Sene, witch was realy nice and cool and all of that, thanks man!
Happy holydays, christmas-gomp.

@faerie lord: Malicia's gifts is too powerful because it means that if you have nothing in your hand, you get a double recollect for 3. Just saying. And what if one of those cards in your graveyard is Malicia's Gift? That can be broken in so many ways...
My Christmas presents have proven themselves pretty interesting I've gotten the new Warhammer calendar, which is tradition, as well as some stuff for when I move out of the house next year: Three pans (two frying pans and a wok) and a dish for the oven.
@ Arguas:
Thank you sir
* Janus sips his hot choco
@ SDA:
Good to hear that the kitty is feeling better
@ Yusuke:
That coin set is a pretty cool thing to get
@ Janu: Moving out, huh? Looking forward to it? I know i do!
Yes, I am I'm perfectly happy living here in Zeeland, which is where I've lived all my life, but I feel the need to move on, elsewhise I'll grow root and be stuck here forever I do plan on comming back one day though
When do you plan on moving out?
Also, I have a preview for all of you: My card for the FCC. I'm still considering some minor things, but mostly, I'm happy about the way the card turned out.
@ Janus, i plan to move out not this summer, but the next... I hope. Some of the plans got kind of screwed, because the mate i was suppose to live with has decided that he wanted to go to school a place that he could reach easily from home, staying home. So we will see.
@ The nice suspend card: It looks kinda cool, cool effect, and nice lockdown potential! Good work!
Edit: Hurray, post nr.100! Getting there, getting there, only 399 posts left before [499]!

Hey everybody! I'm just popping on by to let everyone know what I got for Christmas:
Homestar Runner Hoodie (Homestar Running)
Homestar Runner DVD: Everything Else, Vol 2
Homestar Runner keychain
Scrubs DVDs Seasons 3, 4, and 5
Leather hoodie jacket
$50 American Express gift card (Getting Twilight Princess for the Cube with it)
Final Fantasy XII
Seems like a small list but it's pretty much everything I asked for. I'm a humble guy
Glad to see everyone doing well this Christmas.. I miss Heather..
Lina Inverse is the self-titled "world's greatest genius sorceress". She takes odd jobs for hire, loots bandits and ancient ruins alike, and generally stirs up trouble wherever she goes. Eventually she teams up with Gourry Gabriev, a great swordsman, Amelia, a priestess, and Zelgadis, another sorcerer, in a quest to defeat the evil dark lord Shabranigdo. Shabranigdo threatens to enslave the entire world under the dominion of the monster race if he is not stopped. But what can Lina and her friends hope to do against such a powerful foe? Find out in "Slayers"!
This is one of the most well-known and well-liked fantasy anime. It's also a great comedy, and it has a great storyline with good pacing as well. Things get a little strange (and absurdly epic) in the third season, but no matter the episode, slayers is always enjoyable. This is a great anime to introduce someone to anime with - it's light-hearted fun that rewards watching further without requiring it. It comes highly recommended.
Thanks! And btw, you may need to edit again, because just for today, there will be a special holiday edition of AotW. That's two in one day. Look for it in a half-hour or so.
Well, I wasn't dissapointed in what I got, but, my parents are cursing my aunt who got $10,000 and failed to repay my parents the $400 they were owed from when they saved her so many times.
I got;
A Gamecube
Zelda: Wind Waker
Star Wars Battlefront II for the PS2
A CD
and a gift card
I plan on using the gift card to get a memory card. I also got two random GC games that I don't really want, (Fantastic Four and Killer7), but Zelda ought to keep me busy for a little while. And I might be able to take one of the two GC games back to get one that I actually want, so, I'm happy.

Official Character Sheet Shredder of DAMNIT
DAMNIT: I should never have to shred my own character sheet in frustration.
Good evening. I only got 2 packs of TS for X-mas, but I"m ok w/dat, cuz I got Akroma, Serra's Avatar, Conflagrate, a holo Scyrb Rangers, and Leige of the Pit
Hello everyone I just got back from my aunt's house i had a fun time over there got to eat some good food. I will probably reply to everyone i can later tonight but for now i just wanted to say hello. Well i hope everyone had a merry christmas and i will post later tonight. *see you all soon and best wishes to everyone* *hugs and blows kisses to everyone in the coffeehouse*
Serra Avatar? You mean Serra Avenger, right? And two packs of Time Spiral seem like stocking stuffers to me.
@Psychoburner: A little late to be getting a Gamecube, isn't it? It'll hold you until you get a Wii, which is backwards compatible with Gamecube games.
Going downstairs to play some Earthbound, then I'll be watching Monday Night Football as the Jets play the Dolphins.
There is a certain boy who stopped believing in Santa Clause long ago. In fact, he hates Christmas. Why? Well, he was born on Christmas eve, inspiring his parents to name him... Santa. Yep, his name is Santa. However, one Christmas eve, Mai the Santa shows up, and she is determined, along with the her reindeer Pedro, to make Santa love Christmas again. When he finally breaks down and kisses her, she regains her full Santa powers, and they travel around the world delivering presents. In the end, as you probably guessed, Santa learns to love Christmas again.
And now that the summary is over with, I'll give you a review, starting with a screen-shot:
You see, the only reason we pull this out at Christmas-time is to make fun of it - it is really, really bad. It's Ken Akamatsu, so the hair-anntenae are present, fan-service is present in spades, and there is nudity involved in the transformation scenes. Corny japanese jokes abound - Mai's powers involve the ability to summon any item with "san" in the name in Japanese. She's a santa, you see, thus the "san". She summons things like "san-ba carnival", "san (sun) room", and "san-po" (a kind of martial arts). So yeah, if you like making fun of bad anime, this is pretty entertaining. Don't come into this expecting any kind of believable story, and, for the love of everything, if you have any pride, don't watch this around other people. Seriously.
Actually, yeah. My aunt owed us that 400 dollars, and my parents were planning on buying a Wii for christmas. Unfortunately, she didn't come through, so I'm going to have to use the Gamecube to hold me over until I can get a Wii.
EDIT: I just discovered that the guitar controller for my brother's new Guitar Hero II is defective. He has wanted that game for as long as he's known it exists, and the stupid thing messes up on Christmas. Ugh, now I'm seriously mad.
@ Mr. Stuff: How many episodes of Itsudatte My Santa did you manage to watch?
Also, I believe you get this:
* Janus gives Mr. Stuff a cookie for the 600th post - J.
I'd eat the cookie, but I'm already stuffed from all this holiday food... I got more chocolate in my stocking than I know what to do with.
Itsudatte My Santa is a special created for Christmas, and it's only two episodes, each episode being about one hour long. I've watched it all the way through twice now, and it still makes me cringe. It does have its moments, though.
Wa-ha! A Santa anime. Sounds really cheesy, and your description makes it sound even more so.
Currently, I'm at home by myself. I've got the football game in the background, and I made my own dinner. I can't wait until the 30th, when family comes over.
Merry Christmas, everybody! Hope you all had a satisfying holiday.
@Mr. Stuff: Congratulations on all your cool new stuff. The monitor sounds spiffy, to be sure. Also, the anime you got sounds interesting. 2nd Gig's a pretty good to have.
I always grin at your banner. It's so Christmas-y.
@Janus: Forgot to answer your earlier question. I love to cook, when I do it. I don't really have that much experience yet with a lot of different types of food, though. Among my favorite things to cook are pilaf-esque rice dishes and anything with which I get to experiment with combinations of flavors. Lately I've been into making dairy-heavy dishes prepared in the Indian style (sweating or sauteéing spices and herbs and then combining them with a milk or butter based sauce), and I also like to make simple sauces like béchamel, which are great flavor canvases. I like sauces, in case you couldn't tell.
What about you, what do you like to cook?
@Christmas: everyone seemed to like their gifts. It was a fun day, and weekend withal. And I'm just glad I only have to work four days this week, and then get another three-day weekend. I'm looking forward to New Year's, really, because that's always a fun holiday.

All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.
@Mr. Stuff: well i really like the santa anime i think its pretty cute. Also good the regular aotw looks pretty good i should check them out sometime thanks mr. stuff!
@Mamelon: merry christmas to you too mamelon and I hope your feeling better from friday. If you want someone to talk to i will always be on aol messenger.

Well i am going to do somethings but if anyone wants to talk on aol messenger i will be on the messenger. See you all soon and Have a great night and merry christmas everyone! *hugs everyone in the coffeehouse* I hope you all will have a good week starting tommorrow as well!
I'm Joyd! For Christmas, I got things!
Seems like everyone had a good Christmas, though I'm visiting the family so your posts had to be skimmed rather than read with any sort of thoroughness. I'll catch up when I can!
I am terrible at picking red cards for the Core Set! I want to pick red commons, but so far all the creatures I've picked have haste! That's not fair. So what do I pick?? I know I want Vulshok Sorcerer and a Bushido and/or a flanker. Also considering Flame Burst and Pardic Firecat. Also Viashino Sandscout.
