As a drug addict and a thief, you prayed on the kindness of others to fuel your addiction. Today, we're bringing the ugliness inside you out into the open. Now, in order to stay alive, we have to match your face with the ugliness of your soul. Just lean forward into the knives with your face. Press hard enough and you'll release the arm and the leg restraints that bind you. Press hard, though, and you'll be free. Or, you can sit idly and bleed out on the floor.
Hello, Seth. Right now you're feeling helpless. This is the same helplessness you've bestowed onto others. But now, it's unto you. Some would call this karma, I call it justice. Now, you served five years of what should have been a life sentence. For murder, a technicality gave you freedom, but it inhibited you from understanding the impact of taking a life. Today, I offer you true freedom. In thirty seconds, the pendulum will drop far enough to touch your body. In sixty seconds, it will cut you in half. To avoid the pendulum, all you have to do is destroy the things that have killed: your hands. You must insert your hands and push the buttons to start the devices before you. Your bones will be crushed to dust. Will you destroy the things that have taken life in order to save one, Seth? Make your choice.
Hello, Xavier. I want to play a game. The game I want to play is very similar to the one that you've been playing. As a drug dealer, the game of offering hope to the desperate for a price. I think we can agree that your situation is desperate. So I offer you hope. The price you pay is that you must crawl into the same pit of squalor you force your customers into. By entering this room, a timer has been started. When the timer expires, the door in front of you will be locked forever. Only in finding the key before the timer runs out can you unlock it and retrieve the antidote inside. I will give you just one hint as to where that key is. It will be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Hello Obi. I want to play a game. For years you have burned those around you with your lies, cons, and deceits. Now you will have a chance to redeem yourself for the games you've played with others by playing one of mine. Inside the device in front of you are two antidotes for the poison coursing through your veins. One is my gift to you for helping me kidnap the others. The second is yours to donate. However, one of them will come with a price. Remember, Obi, once you're in Hell only the devil can help you out.
Hello, Michael. I want to play a game. So far, in what could loosely be called your life, you've made a living watching others. Society would call you an informant; a rat; a snitch. I call you unworthy of the body you possess. Of the life that you've been given. Now you will see if you are willing to move inward, rather than outward. To give up the one thing you rely on in order to go on living. The device around your neck is a death mask. The mask is on a spring timer; if you do not locate the key in time, the mask will close. Think of it like a venus fly trap. What you are looking at right now is your own body, not more than two hours ago. Don't worry, you're sound asleep and can't feel a thing. Taking into account that you are at a great disadvantage here, I am going to give you a hint as to where I've hidden the key, so listen carefully. The hint is this: it's right before your eyes. How much blood will you shed to stay alive, Michael? Live or die, make your choice.
Hello, Jeff. If you're listening to this, it means that the confrontation you so long dreamed of is finally unfolding. In your head, he is a cipher. A symbol of your life changing. A symbol of death. I present him to you, now, as a simple human being. His name is Timmothy Young, he's twenty-seven years old, a medical student with a mother and a father just like you. A man whose life also changed the day your son died. That day he made a terrible mistake. You believed he didn't pay for that mistake, and now is your chance to make him pay. The device Timmothy's strapped to is...my personal favorite. I call it The Rack. The human body is a miraculous creation. Ever wonder how far the arm can twist? This device is going to start twisting.
You see, detective, Darwin's Theory of Evolution; surival of the fittest, based on his little trip to the Galapagos no longer applies on this planet. We have a human race that doesn't have the edge or the will to survive.
I never murdered anyone in my life; the decisions are up to them.
You see, the knowledge of death changes everyting. If I were to tell you the exact date and time of your own death, it would shatter your world completely.
The cancer isn't what started me in my work. It was the moment I decided to end my life that started me on my work and brought meaning to it. I had literally driven myself to suicide. I had failed. My body had not been strong enough to repel cancer cells, yet I had lived through a plunge off a cliff. But to my amazement, I was alive and I was determined to spend the rest of my days testing the fabric of human nature.

"Hello Drake,
Thanks again for participating in our Zendikar Pre-release! To answer your questions: Yes, the Worldwake Pre-release will be on Saturday January 30th. We are more likely going to start the main event (Sealed Deck Event) about 1:30pm to 2pm. Registration will start as soon as we open at 12noon. Parking can sometimes be a problem, so if you arrive early, you may have an easier time parking.
The main event (Sealed Deck) will again be 6 booster packs for $30. We will have booster drafts after the main event is finished. Drafts will be 3 packs for $15.
We hope to see you this Saturday!"
I'll probably be driving Wrath, since the two of us probably plan on staying late. This is the schedule. The 'dealy' as Arson would put it.
Make sure you bring your DCI number and a few decks so we can play as we wait. I'm still planning on being there at 12 noon. Jon from Cal Poly will be attending with the other Erick, Erick M. It promises to be a good time on Saturday.
Name: Erik Drake Gonzalez
Age: 20
Residence: The Prophecy
Description: People have called me crazy, insane, psycho, Prince of Darkness, Kitty, Orange, Gold, Boyo, box-man, Kire, Fie, Ace, Balto, Bill, Harold, My Liege, ass and the infamous Drake the Maker. But above all else, I am simply a counselor and the author of several works which you can now see below.
I am the author of the Philip Trilogy, a story which revolves around a legendary Lumisonian bloodline, from the first hero whose fate is intertwined with the fate of the entire universe. His best friend Leonardo, who betrayed he and his other great long-time friend Lance, who has a haunting tendency to return and protect the bloodline. Many other characters twist and interact in order to cope with the Lumis/Hells War and try to tip the scale. The fate of the universe seems to hang in the hands of the planets and the Holy Guardian Tousa, an ominous figure who can predict the future. How will it all end? Read and find out.
My original work, which I am still trying to complete, is my Gunzone story. Gunzone is a mix between first-person shooter, action role-playing game, real-time-strategy, and battle simulator. Lloyd Regent plays the main character, a sophomore in High School who aspires to become one of the greatest Gunzone players in Desrow City, Nevada. Lloyd takes an unorthodox approach to Gunzone at first. He believes that all other people are threats, and that threats should be eliminated both in-game and out-of-game. His many rivals compete in Gunzone. They draw different abilities, from the ability to fight Wing-Chun to shooting homing bullets to applying nuclear explosions, there is no limit to danger as Lloyd tries to balance competing in a rewarding game with his real life. Can he do it? Read and discover.
I personally play IRO, Valkyrie, though not vigilantly. My current character is a weak Wizard, named Harold Alle (as usual), but I am a seasoned player with knowledge of the game. I simply have no way to play as long as I used to. However, I do play my fair share of Gunbound, which I have completed seven accounts and am currently on the eighth. Should you like to play alongside the HappyCo guild, you may search it in the Guild tab or else try to add Trylven to your buddy list. I'm sure I could teach you a thing or two, at the very least.
My utmost priority relies on those I live around. I want to help, and will help if I can. My previous self wasn't this way, and some of it leaks into my current self, but I can assure you that the Erik you have today is someone who only wants to ameliorate situations he has a hand in affecting. Trust me. Between college, friends, gaming, and possibly work (cross your fingers), I can and will find time to listen.
There is certainly a way, but I don't know the details.
My buddy Matt knows how to get it done, though...I just don't know what he's doing lately. He doesn't exactly 'go' to Cal Poly.
I figured out how. All I need from you is an IP address (and probably mine for you). There's also a way just to meet on the hosted server though, in which I tried out earlier.
Played Standard Mono Black Vampires against some form of Naya Cascade running Mighty Emergence. I was lucky that his Enlisted Wrum-->Bloodbraid Elf didn't hit a Woolly Thoctar; got a Behemoth Sledge instead, but one turn too late. Nocturnus gave everything Flying...and I had two of 'em ^__^
I'm not sure I'll be going onto Magic Workstation for any other reason than to build, though, and I have very little to play-test. I'm not sure we need too much of an IP address thing, though. o-o It should work, considering how close we are. Myself and Matt were able to connect just by one of us putting up a game and the other one finding it.
Yeah, whatever works. As far as myself is concerned, I just wanna build a deck that can stand in the meta that isn't already a "decktype." But the solitaire game mode only pits you against your own deck and you can't change it unless you purchase the full version. 'Tis why I bring this up.
Okay, there's no ignoring this now. The custom sets we all made with the Magic Set Editor can be put on Magic Workstation, and, I would bet, could be played with online.
Well, here's what we can do. If you ever wanted a game against me and I were available, give me a call or shoot me a text to find out, then I can log on. It shouldn't be too finnicky like Age of Kings was, dear LORD that sucked; it should work like a charm, this thing.
We could totally go for our shenanigan-filled games again. I know I've got the Daemon files for the AOEIII expansions, and I'm sure I can find one for Age of Kings for everyone else, though there's still the issue of getting it to work on your computer.
And then there's AOM ^____^ thank you Jess; he may want to give that a go again.
And then there's the whole Starcraft deal Avery brought up the other time we were at Jess's; I'm not even sure if we could get into that, I'm just throwing it out there.
You and I could probably go for any of the Age Of's, Jess is familiar with AOM, and Lawrence in AOK. We gotta do this stuff AGAIN lol
Friday...
...I don't really know what I'm doing on Friday, only that I'm probably doing something at Cal Poly. Like some FNM or something. But if I'm not, Friday's completely available. Both for stuff and for you picking up your game.
I use Magic Workstation. Uhm...the details, however, I'd need to get a second time from my friend Matt, who helped me set up the whole thing.
If it works out, a lot of us could essentially play MTG online. We might even be able to set up cards. Some people even draft and do sealed, even though I haven't the slightest clue how those things work.
It'd be interesting if we saw a third Ajani; still looking to find "who killed his brother" yadda yadda blah...still interesting (a third Chandra perhaps? or is that getting my hopes up lolz)
Wait, this guy Ponder's for free, screws with your opponent's deck as a +2, Unsummons for cheap -1, then makes sure your opponent has seven or less cards left in his/her deck!
Y'know what the real problem is though...people can't have both on the field at the same time. I think that's the tradeoff to make it balanced
Thaaat's true. And the unsummon isn't instant speed, and therefore actually inferior to the original unsummon.
But the first ability is great. It's better than drawing a card for a minus ability, for sure. You screw with them, instead.
Also! I want to make the YouTube account for us Magic tards, but I can't think of a name for the account. I was going to go with MTGLosers until I realized I was really just talking about myself.
Not necessarily. There are a lot of things they can do with planeswalkers.
They're just choosing not to right now.
For example: (from my set)
A planeswalker that starts out with 12 loyalty.
Sylon, Guide of the Ancients. [2GG] Planeswalker - 12
-2: Search your library for a land card and put it into play.
-4: Put a creature card from your hand into play.
-6: Permanents you control have "Tap: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool."
Last ability may not seem good. However, note that it does not specify when this effect ends.
