Dies to Removal

The last few posts really delivered the funnies.

Biggest pet peeve being a designer: Being asked to do something for free.

Good, fast and cheap. Pick two. - I'm sure this theory can apply to engineering as well.

This happens as a lawyer a lot too

My dad was a lawyer, he'd purposefully lie about what he did in polite conversation with strangers. Everyone just kept asking him to write a will/prenup/lease for them as a favor.

It gets fucking old, let me tell you.

Say Z while you're here do you think there's an easy way to get rid of these child support payments?

Your posts are getting worse Spam. Explain the link to FOS s'il vous plait.

The first batch of Scrumper posts were pretty good, but he's running low on material.

Fucking Scroatles ....

Fucking Scroatles ....

Sounds like a really bad name for a really bad porno.

Scrumper plz. Retire when the going is good. I don't like seeing you steadily decline like this

Order package from Amazon. It's supposed to arrive Tuesday. Carrier doesn't even attempt to place it in the large parcel boxes for the apt. complex. Delivers other mail, though. Sends package back to post office. Claims he left a notice, but doesn't. Request redelivery for the next day. Spend entire (and only) day off waiting for mail. No mail received, not even the daily spam mail. Send complaint through USPS website. No mail the next day either. Walk the two miles to the nearest post office after work. Explain situation. They don't have the package.

Thanks Obama

Obama has ruined Murica

If it's not part of their routine, nobody at the post office can or will help you. It's dumb.

The manager on duty told me that the carrier for that route had gone home (since I was there close to closing anyway) and to call back around 8am tomorrow and explain the situation to the manager there before the earliest carriers leave for their route (not sure what time our mailman usually comes tbh, it varies).

The thing I don't get is, if I didn't get my package... and they brought it back to the post office... it should be there.

argh

hopefully if they did steal lose my package, Amazon will definitely refund me... but it was a Black Friday sale ($20 for the usually $60 Tales of Xillia) and I really don't wanna pay full price for the game

If they offered to remail it at the same price, I'd even pay extra for UPS/FedEx shipping.

Looks like you're stuck playing Tales of Symphonia for a while.

Oh man, ToS. I'm waiting to pick up the PS3 HD Remake when it comes out in a few months.

The sequel sucked though, at least with the Wii controls. I got bored after like an hour.

It's my favorite. Still have my GC copy.

Thing keeps eating my posts. Any of you guy down round Dallas?

It's my favorite. Still have my GC copy.

I think I had a 180 hour+ playthrough on it at one point from carrying stuff over multiple times. I haven't played any of the other Tales games though. I tried Phantasia on an emulator but didn't get into it, never bothered with Abyss, and couldn't find Vesperia (the 360 one?) for cheap anywhere.

I'm hoping to get my girlfriend to try it out, especially if they leave in the ability to have a second player control someone during battle. I'd be fine with watching her go through the story and seeing her reactions.

I
haven't played any others, either. I want Vesperia because I have an Xbox360 but, yeah, 35.00USD used.

Just got back from a fairly relaxed thursday night magic. Made $10 profit, and just grabbed some new sleeves -shrugs-

Got to eat a nice meal of 3 espers and a boss sligh. Was good for the ego.

I had a nice meal of Frosted Toast Crunch and another bowl of Frosted Toast Crunch.

It's like Golden Grahams got dipped in the Frosted Shredded Wheat container. So good.

So, I'm really liking these new kmc hyper mattes.

Not sure how they'll hold up over a long period, but from what I've seen online they should do okay.

I rock Dragon Sleeves on everything I'm serious about. Mostly because that's what the LGS carries. Never have had ready access to KMCs but I hear they're comparable.

My next project is custom printed playmats. I need to test one out and see if the heat transfer material I have access to will work out for that, but I already found a supplier for blank mats in the same dimensions. If I can make them for at most exactly what you can buy a pre-printed one for you'll all be the first to know.

The kmc mattes are excellent. I used Japanese Ultrapros for a while (they're made differently than the american ones and are incredible sleeves) but the kmc mattes are the next best thing.

I HATE Dragon Shields. They're too thick and feel awful imo.

Dragon shields are horrible.

Also, anyone up for testing with me on 'trice now?

Apparently I need to get them to carry KMCs.

Well, the thing is, kmc makes 2 different types of matte. THe old matte(think they called it super matte) and the new hyper mattes.
I've never tried kmcs before, and used ultrapro pro-mattes till now, and I am honestly really like them. They've got the non-smooth back, but have a shiny front unlike the pro-mattes, but they shuffle like a dream. Just a tiny bit of friction so it feels good, but not sticky.

And I've heard wonders about dragon shields, I just am really weird about wanting non-smooth/shiny backs(why I always get mattes), which dragon shield doens't do -shrugs-


Also, decided to skip fnm this week in order to decompress and relax before the iq on saturday.

I have been pretty happy with dragonshields, they are a bit thicker than I'd like but the thickness is not without benefit, namely greater protection. I am just a couple shy of having enough of those hard plastic things you get when you order cards online to "sleeve" a deck in those, but that pretty much commits me to pile shuffling only, and while cute would be annoying before I ever actually clacked a card down on the table.

Also this evening I am wearing a fabulous clan t-shirt courtesy of doc. Thanks!

That avatar LP!

Nigga DOES go hard.

Absolute Justice!

Hey Z, when is the next article set to drop?

Next few days.

So Z, does magma trump Lava?

Broke pauper. Holy fucking shit.

So Z, does magma trump Lava?

Both trump fire

Well, when dailies come back, you'll have a cash cow on hand. After Christmas, I may get modo as well. Like you, I'm looking to make some strides in magic over the next year and I'm assuming that I'm good enough to let modo bankroll(hyperbole) me if I ever get to the point where I'm thinking of travelling more then 4 hours to a tourney.
