I have one full setup and one extra crt tv. So if you bring your wee wee'l have two setups.

I don't suppose you or any of your subordinates play magic the gathering as well?
I used to, I've been wanting to pick it up, but the recent power surge kinda threw me off. I started playing really during Ravnica, and stopped after Shards of Alara. I just couldn't afford it. I'd love to play again though

You would be surprised. The Hare is a junior pre-med, and he loved organic.
Guess Smashers Love Carbon
Darn, everyone here says they hate organic... And that it's the worst class ever. But it comes to me naturally.

It's like one long awesome logic problem with every piece of information you gain another piece in an intricate puzzle.

Yeah but most people hate it. you're the first I've met that has professed a love for the class too. It's bizarre how much hatred goes into that class.

Well, I don't play the standard format, because it is too expensive to keep up. I do play Modern, which is everything from tenth edition to now. Besides all the cards on the ban list. Do you still have all your cards from when you played?

I could get them, but they aren't with me. They're at my parents place in Austin. Earliest I could get them realistically would be in the summer.

Standard is a lot of money... It's what I used to play. But I always played on budget. And I had a huge deckbuilding craze on a now dead website... I haven't kept up with the cards, but I wouldn't mind doing a draft tourney or something, I'm going to have to relearn all the terms and play system though.

Also, What do you guys think about project m?

Speaking of resumes, Seif I'll bring you mine sometime before you see your mom. Also, what time works for you for me to drop it by there?
I'm free this weekend, so really, any time. Preferably before Sunday.

Also, that guy who belittle the contribution of Z-Targeting is an idiot. It's innovation was really the first time someone made combat work on a 3D plane. Hell, it's still the standard today, in one form or another.

Here is a really good deck building site that I use: tappedout.net

My view on project m are about the same as my views on brawl. It's just different.

I gathered together some famous improvised lines and thought you guys may be interested. I feel like I've done this before >.>

Midnight Cowboy - "Hey, I'm walkin' here!"
Taxi Driver - "You talkin' to me? Are YOU talkin' to me?"
The Shining - "Heeere's Johnny!"
Jaws - "You're gonna need a bigger boat."
Blade Runner - "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
Casablanca - "Play it [again] Sam." "Here's looking at you, kid."
Aliens - "Game over, man. Game over!"
Goodfellas - "What do you mean funny? The way I talk? Funny how? Funny like I'm a clown?"
Reservoir Dogs - "Was that as good for you as it was for me?"
Star Wars - "[I love you.] I know."
The Warriors - "Warriors, come out and plaaaaay!"
When Harry Met Sally - "I’ll have what she’s having."
The Jazz Singer - "Wait a minute. You ain't heard nothin' yet."
Terminator 2 - "I need a vacation."
Full Metal Jacket - "I’ll bet you’re the kind of guy that would **** a person in the *** and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around."

Anthony's Hopkin's hissing in The Silence of the Lambs. The scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indy just shoots the show-off swordsman dead (here's looking at you, Full Metal Panic). "Singing in the Rain" in A Clockwork Orange. The famous Tarzan yell. Everything Robin Williams was ever in: "Gooood morning Vietnam!", his lines as the Genie, Good Will Hunting.....

That Blade Runner soliloquy is probably my favorite cinematic moment ever. Apparently some of the film crew cried.

Who was that friend of Iori's at ARK III? Need it for the database.

Director: [in Japanese] Mr. Bob-san, you are relaxing in your study. On the table is a bottle of Suntory whiskey. Got it? Look slowly, with feeling, at the camera, and say it gently - say it as if you were speaking to an old friend. Just like Bogie in Casablanca, "Here's looking at you, kid" - Suntory time.
Translator: Umm. He want you to turn, looking at camera. OK?
Bob: That's all he said?
Translator: Yes. Turn to camera.
tooo good

Hmm that dog looks cute, but that cat looks like a hindrance.

omg, I'm so hyped for tomorrow. All those incomplete combos, I can see them now.
Oh, just wait till you see me play (unless you were referring to me... :/). I haven't put enough time into learning exact combos... I just know how to start them... kinda....

Are any of you little rock guys going to come up?

The cat picture becomes even funnier when you realize that the picture was taken in china

And the cat is dead.
"How come that
Mr. Chow Yun-fat
can't tell the difference
between cow or cat"

Will: Hellz no. Give us a tournament or more time to think about it.


SMYM teams LF is Jack/Moogle vs Kels/Tink right now. Deku and Frootloop in GF?!

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I was planning on coming early afternoon but I'm getting my cat fixed ad I'm typing this. He should be done quick and I'll come over afterwards. I'll pm you my phone number so it's easier to get in contact.

Pascal has the best Stat Gain compared to the rest of the party member, with her stoongest B Arte, Eight Celestial, has the highest Damage Multiplier, only second to Indignation but cast 2.5 second faster.

Other than that, only she and Asbel has a Glory like Skill, where upon activating one of her B Arte, she has a chance to remain unstaggered until the end of the casting time. That means no spell interruption from enemy unless it is a BC.

Her A Arte are more suited toward Range whereas he B Arte promote Melee distance. Her AoE Damage is magnificent, with Magnetic Gate allowing her to draw enemy closer into her for her more devastating AoE B Arte.

She even has a few B Arte focusing on buffing party members or herself, such as Assault Sign, increasing P.ATK, or Rampart Sign, increasing P.DEF, and finally Shine Field, recovering 25% HP of all party member within range. Casting Time are 1 second for the former two, with approximately 3.83 second on the latter one.

Pascal's Accel Mode allow her to create a dome shape field. In that dome shape field, all party members are unstaggerable, reducing the damage dealt to party members as well, ideal for mage focused team.

She also receive her 3rd BC fairly early in the game compared to the rest of the party member, so she will be perfectly suitable to be your main DD, Damage Dealer, during the mid part of the game.

She has a more technical design to her moves. It requires you to be constantly aware of your position in relation to allies or enemies on the battlefield in order to be effective with her.

She is however weak at HP, M.DEF and ACC initially, so you might find her to be pretty hard to use when you first get her.
This is interesting, Arby.

Man, Street Fighter cross Tekken is soooooo fun
I'm getting good at Raven cause he looks like Blade and Yoshimitsu(got to love Soul Caliber 2 nostalgia)
My room-mate has been playing it, and for some reason I am initially drawn to Juri.

Idk why, but she looks like she'd be my style.

Also, VTS you're so mean you make me sad :(

Yeah, Pascal sounds good. If only her hair was a solid color.

I've heard this enough that I want to like the game, but

the gems seem really dumb, unpunishable invincible rolling on wakeup IS really dumb, and it's still got SF4's slower engine. The de-emphasis on option selects is definitely a plus though.
OMG, Fleet Foxes is amazing.
Yeeeees. Between you, Adam, and Vts, I will eventually have someone to shoot the breeze with about every indie band under the sun.

I see you've only listened to the second album. It's really good, but their debut is (imo) way better. That might be nostalgia talking, but either way it's worth your time.

Interesting note: They are heavily inspired by the Romantic poets (the fascination with Nature and our relation to it; extolling the virtues of youth; preoccupation with death) and their home city of Seattle. Landmarks of northwest Washington are sprinkled throughout the lyrics, as are quotes from Wordsworth and others. One of their best songs, "Ragged Wood," derives its title and theme (bittersweet love) from a Yeats poem. The singer's distant brother is also a recurring inspiration (Blue Ridge Mountains, He Doesn't Know Why).

The Romantic touch is all over these guys
In the town one morning I went
Staggering through premonitions of my death
I don't see anybody that dear to me

Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die, you tell
Me everything, anything
True

Welp, everyone just left. I would say that was a successful smashfest. Even though their smash stamina is low.

I'm so glad I get to play these guys now, because there are some lessons I never bothered to learn. I'm gonna try to get these guys to start posting on smashboards. I swear to god, if you guys scare them away with your brawl hate, I'm gonna come down there and crush your computer.


@arby, I'll definitely listen to their first album in a little bit. I just found them today when I was adding all my music back to my itunes. It was making playlist for some bands for some reason and it started playing the first song of the second album. From those few seconds I was hooked. I've also started listening to Yelle. I think its a french band, at least it sounds french.

I guess I kinda get mad sometimes too, but then I realize that it's just a game, and I play games to have fun. So that's how I see it. Arby plays anti-player style man, you just gotta realize that yeah he's good and all, but it's not that you suck or that he's just SOOOO much better than you like it might feel. I mean, afterall, you probably have had the most oos respect than any of us bro.

Jason I like smoke. And I like wavedashing. You know this :D
