I used to play Magic: The Gathering. Quite a fun game, if you have the money to buy all the new expansions. ;) What is your favorite color to play?

What is your favorite book of the bible?

You could not like if... well, nevermind. My question.

Were you born in the UK (yes, NEire included), or elsewhere? Some of your posts don't mirror the attitudes of other Brits I've known. But then again, sweeping generalizations are ALWAYS wrong (irony intended).

lol. I got that one...

I was born in Belfast and raised in Belfast. Never been outside the UK. Been to mainland UK (Scotland, England, Wales) twice.

I know I don't have the same attitudes most Brits do... What can I say I'm counter-culture :P

Favourite Online Comics:

8-bit theatre (couple of issues have strong language)
Megatokyo
Maru Mari (some adult jokes of a sexual orintation, only a few but Be warned) <- It's a sprite comic using original NES Metroid graphics. Recent comics use Zero Mission sprites. Like I said some adult jokes present.


this ones not really a comic but... ReverendFun This is a Christian picture joke site. One frame pics mostly biblically based with a twist of humour.

Hi Skynes! Nice to get to know you better. I've never been to Ireland, but have always wanted to visit. I've only been to Scotland and England.

>>most likely Samus (chicks in armour rock. LOL!)<<

I wonder if that's why my son likes Metroid Prime? :eyebrow: No, I'm sure it's the great game play.:P

Skynes,

Nice to get to know a little more about you other than SWORD WIND RULES!!!! (well it does)

At any rate. Here are some questions, some apropriate, some, well here you go.

You are planning on attending college in the states? Where?

Have you ever heard of Fluff?

Does the term "Barney" mean anything to you?

Do you have any siblings?

Why Green?

Instead of a Seeing Eye dog, what about a gun? It's cheaper than a dog, plus if you walk around shooting all the time people are going to get out of the way. Cars, too!

I'm not. I'm going to a University in N Ireland. Where'd you get that idea from?
I'm going to the University of Jordanstown to do a Degree in Computer Science. Because I'm coming from HND I can skip the first year and go straight into year 2

Have you ever heard of Fluff?

Fluff... Warhammer related story? the blue/grey stuff in your belly button? pink fluffy socks?

Does the term "Barney" mean anything to you?

'Barney' means a purple and green dinosaur that I'd love to strap some C4 to. and laugh maniacally as I watch him run around squealing before I detonate it... Yes... I am sick...

Do you have any siblings?

1 Brother 18 - total loser needs serious prayer
1 sister 16 - very musical oriented, plays flute, violin(best instruments) also plays keyboard, recorder and guitar...

Why Green?

I started playing Green, it's a simple easy to understand colour. Yet it still has some cool combos mixed in.
E.g.

3 Tangleroots in play. Play Myr Retriever, sack it to a Spawning Pit or Atog or something. Return another Myr Retriever to your hand. Using the 3 green mana gained from the Tangleroots, play the Myr Retriever. Repeat 1 million times. You have 1 million mana.

Also you've cast 1 million spells, Storm cards like Temporal Fissure become very deadly now!

^ A little infinite mana and infinite storm combo.

Skynes,

Sounds like a cool combo. I havent played that game in a really really really really long time. Im not even sure if I still have my cards.

Yah, I know how you feel about your bro. I have an older brother who also needs an ample amount of prayer.
But way to go for a talented sister, do you know if she is saved?

Oh, hey, since you like a lot of stradegy games; have you ever played Battle fleet Gothic?
I have a small Chaos fleet. Its fun, but not as fun as 40k.

I honestly don't know, sometimes she really seems like it, other times she doesn't. ???

You know, one of the few cool combos I still remember could kill some one in one turn. If you got the right cards, it could be the first turn of the game. It’s actually not that tough to do. (or expensive)

First off, your colors should be black and red.
Next, have an abnormal amount of land in your deck.

Cards needed:
Lands Edge (When any player discards a card from their hand, if that card is a land, that player may chose to have 2 damage dealt to target opponent.)

“That other cardâ€

Yawgmoth's Bargain: Skip your draw step, Pay one life, draw a card. <-- This is the black enchantment... I HATE this card! I have a friend who uses it with Words of Worship: The next time you would draw a card this turn, gain 5 life instead.

He pays 5 life to draw 5 cards, pays 5 mana, then gains 25 life.

Land's Edge - Any player may discard a card at any time, if they discard a land card this way, they may deal 2 damage to target creature or player.

Thats a nasty combo dude! One I'm very partial to is

Disciple of the Vault: When an artifact is put into a graveyard from play, you may have target opponent lose 1 life.

Myr Incubator: Search your library for any number of artifacts and remove them from the game, put a 1/1 artifact myr creature token into play for each card removed this way.

Atog: Sacrifice an artifact, Atog gets +2/+2 until end of turn.

Have all 3 in play. Use Myr Incubator, put 30 artifacts in play. Sack them all to the Atog, Disciple makes opponent lose 30 life.
