Been Havin' A Good Time

It really is, don'tchaknow.

Today's Canada Day of course, which means a lot of stupid drivers, a lot of beer (not consumed by me cause I work) and lots of fireworks tonight. I'm staying home, no sense going into Red Deer today since I work at 1pm to 6pm, and then whatever else comes up, I'll probably walk to the park to watch Fireworks.

On another note of silly, I've tripped out Taranaa with a new haistyle, a new hair COLOUR (light purple), and a leather outfit. It's pretty pimp, I gotta admit. I need to pick up some EXP Savers next time I buy some NX Cash and then buy a transparent hat for Mannya since she'll be wearing a bamboo hat when she hits lv 25. What can I say? I love her hairstyle.

Now how to explain to some people who mistake my whole "I'd prefer to remain Genderless and Anonymous on Maple Story" as being a real girl. I'm tempted to broadcast "I am a heterosexual lesbian. That is all." across the field in big fireworks. But nah, I'll let them have their fun.

Seriously though, on online gaming, I ALWAYS do this. I make female characters and speak in a gender neutral tone. I prefer it cause it keeps messy problems from happening later. Usually.

Edit 2 Minutes Later : People Fame Me for no apparent reason other than I'm nice. Glee!

Oh dear lord

The Pokemon TCG is even more broken than the Yu-Gi-Oh one. I don't know how that was possible, but it is. Seriously.

Back in the old days before the new tournament styles, there were two game-breaker cards that provided what Yu-Gi-Oh people like to call Overwhelming Advantage. These two cards were entitled Bill, and Professor Oak.

Bill had the ability to make you "Draw 2 Cards" without any problem. Yu-Gi-Oh players know this as the now-banned Pot of Greed. Free Advantage? Sure it's free, but then you get to run FOUR of those in a deck. Yeah.

Professor Oak was also a life-saver. If you've spent all of your hand, drop an Oak down and draw 7 cards. That's right, 7. It's a game-breaker.

I was flipping through Ray's card binder at his store when I also happened upon the second-most awesome drawing card known to mankind; Misty's Wrath. And boy is it ever wrathful.

The effect of Misty's Wrath is simple. Look at the top 7 cards of your deck, add 2 to your hand and then discard the rest. Terrifying? Now think of that in an old-school Charizard or Blastoise deck. Or Calvin's freaking damn Gengar You-Dead-Now deck... Grr.

Pokemon TCG: New Grounds Verdict. It's broken, and I need to find out if they've changed the meta. Wouldn't want to run 4 Oak, 4 Bill and 4 Misty's Wrath and find out they're banned.

Edit 5 minutes later: Oh man, I'm going to cry. They're pulling a MtG here, which means the Mod-level decks can only use stuff from Hidden Legends and up. Darn you TCG makers for denying me Oak and Bill and Misty's Wrath!

For future ref though, this is good. At least I know if I'm going to get into constructed, I know what sets to work with.
