I always appreciate articles like this that discuss the strategies and techniques behind deck composition. I've been playing casually on and off for 10 years, but I didn't start thinking at this level until recently. I went with 40 non-land/20 land builds for years, but then I started reading...

I would consider myself above average, though this thread brings to mind the Dunning-Kruger effect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect Basically, genuinely competent people tend to underestimate their abilities and genuinely incompetent people tend to overestimate...

Hopefully EA doesn't pull some other dick move and make it impossible to play used copies of ME3 on the 360. I was just going to wait and get it used so I can still play it without having to give EA any money.

An HD remake of Advent Rising with all of the bugs worked out. Then the two sequels that were supposed to be made before the game nearly bankrupted its developer and the project was dropped.

I'm thinking I might have to put together some WB deck ideas in the event that I get my hands on the new Sorin. A -6 that kills planeswalkers and recruits them on your side? Yes please.

So much prescriptivism. Trying to ban words from a language is just ridiculous. I've studied linguistics enough to know that people are going to speak however they want as long as they live in anything but a draconian society. Over time, mistakes become so common that they aren't mistakes...

I voted Halo. From the experiences I've had with each of those games, I'd say Halo was the most fun. Halo 3 and Reach, specifically. Co-op Halo with my friends was some of the most fun gaming I've ever had.

I'm interested in the cloud gaming idea. I have a 360 Slim and my friend has an older 360, so I can't bring my saved games with me because the Slim's hard drive isn't compatible. It would be cool if I could just download my saves from the cloud instead of having to bring my whole 360 with me...

September 5 Louis XIV (King of France in the late 1600s/early 1700s) Johann Christian Bach (son of Johann Sebastian Bach) Jesse James (famous American outlaw) Freddie Mercury (lead singer of Queen) I'm okay with this.

Here's a list of notable residents from my hometown: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Springs,_Missouri#Notable_residents The only one I knew about was David Cook.

I realized I love my girlfriend when I learned about Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love in one of my psychology courses and realized that my feelings for her matched all of the requirements for consummate love (intimacy, passion, commitment). Here's the Wikipedia page for the theory...

I feel like the action mode could cut down on the codexes and conversations and transfer the XP from those into more combat XP, the story mode could do the opposite, and RPG mode could be a balance of the two. This is an interesting idea and I think that if it's implemented correctly it...

Dude, I thought I was the only one too. Front right pocket all the time. I never understood the back pocket thing either. Good to know I'm not alone on that.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll come across that article in my studies some day.
