darn, stroke was all unique and stuff, I thought I had one there.

so if I try to work on both of them and I'll probably get one?

well, how about,
golf swing
swing jazz
and some other third one?

or if it was the idea of a swimming stroke like backstroke that was close, I have,

front crawl
energy front
nuclear front

I can't think up anything from the second one though...

Movies and TV / Re: Harry Potter 4 -- The Goblet of Fire
« on: November 20, 2005, 09:52:35 PM »
Overall, this movie was definately my favorite out of the four, the third being my second favorite. I liked the how they changed the mood of the movie.

The music I didn't like very much, I just didn't find it very attractive or distinctive or anything. The music from the first three I found better.

--- watch out, there are sort of soilers in these next paragraphs, if you haven't read the book or watched the movie you know what to do---

I had three major compaints about it though. First, I didn't like how it didn't seem at all like a school year, just like a big tournament at the school, there was only one quiddich or class scene, and only because it directly related to Moody and the tournament (I don't count the first quiddich scene, since it was only like 30 seconds). I can't really blame them though, since they had to condense such a big book.

My next two are more related to the story, what was the whole point of the first two challenges if it was just the winner of the third who wins the tournament? I'd understand it if you were disqualified if you failed one of them, but that wasn't the case, the girl from Beaxbatons (I'm not sure how you spell it) had dropped out of the second challenge but was still in the third. I know whoever did the best in the first two got to start first in the third, but how much of a difference did that make? They all met up like eight times in the maze.

On the topic of the second challenge, why did Harry save that girl? It's not like they were going to die if they weren't saved , and if they were, that would be even worse. It's not like Hogwarts'd be able to tell the dead kids parents "Were sorry she's dead and all, but it's not our fault she was the best friend of one of the competitors."

Anyway, that's basically what I thought of the movie.

I think they're really a good idea. Though, I'm not sure if they should be every day because then your blog will seem more like some kind of story-idea dispenser, I'd do it more like every third day or so, only you'd have to do three at a time because I don't wan't to miss out on cool story ideas.

I'm working on a Gotcha deck, which should be fun, and of course I put Form of the Squirrel into my squirrel deck :)

I think they should have made unhinged preconstructed decks, a gotcha one and a fraction one

Actually, there was an article on the website that descibed all the guilds, it's here.
dhttp://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/feature/283

Also, we can be generally sure blue/white will be in Guildpact, since the you-make-the-card thing is finished and it was blue/white.

Quote
1:what will be the style of the 4 guilds in the next set in the block(maybe mixing abilities of the guilds already in play;ie:dredge and transmuting)
actually, there will only be three combinations in the next two sets

And finally,
Quote
I can't wait for black/white and black/red!
same here, but the one I'm looking forward to the most is white/black since that's the coolest color combination whatsoever. I'm pretty sure the basic themes with the Orzhov will the the ones from the onslaught clerics [life gain, life stealing and sacrificing, (think Cabal archon)]. My only problem is that if you read the article from above it says the orzhov are really about greed, which in my opinion is a lot less cool then the black/white from onslaught (like from Vile deacon)

CCGs / Re: new ravnica deck challenge
« on: November 18, 2005, 09:00:11 PM »
how would you be able to build a deck around warp world? my best guess would be a deck with only the little mana accelerators (Llanowar elves and whatnot), huge creatures and lands. So when you warp world none of the cards revealed will be wasted, and if you dont draw it you just kill them with big creatures, but still, if they just have more things in play or wind up luckier they'll win anyway, and it wouldn't be as good as the same deck with green land searching spells instead of red and warp world.

Anyway, if anyone wants to know what the card does, here:

Warp World
5RRR
sorcery
Each player shuffles all permanents he or she owns into his or her library, then reveals that many cards from the top of his or her library. Each player puts all artifact, creature, and land cards revealed this way into play, then puts all enchantment cards revealed this way into play, then puts all cards revealed this way that weren't put into play on the bottom of his or her library in any order.
