okay, a new set has just come out for chaotic called mar'illion invasion (or something like that lol).
it's got alot of awesome new cards. . .and after looking through the entire set, card by card i came up with a new update on my current deck.
the really exciting thing is, is i just made a pretty big purchase on a ton of cards for my deck at toywiz.com. i'm really excited because now my deck will finally be able to compete. it's got amazing creatures with some equally amazing battle gear. . .it's got alot of direct damage, and battle gear destruction, and it's got a solid attack deck.
the locations are really starting to shape up as well.
i need 1 more stone pillar (which will replace one of my barracks), i'd like to replace my 2x power pulses with 2x flame orbs, and i'd like to try out a couple underworld cities. but other then those 5 cards. . .my deck is now complete, and i couldn't be more proud.
and i won a lord van bloot on ebay about a week ago. how much? $26 shipped. it's one of the best deals i've gotten on ebay (the cheapest i've seen blooty go for on ebay besides this one is around $55.)
he doesn't have the greatest stats in the world. . .but he isn't horrible either. defently playable.
here's his stats:
courage = 80
power = 115 =D
wisdom = 45
speed = 85
energy = 60 =(
for less then half of what he's worth on ebay (at least). . .i'm very happy with those stats. he was in mint condition, and with an unused code and all.
here's the new decklist of the deck i currently own:
123
45
6
1.) Bladez
---Kha'rall Husk Armor
2.) Chaor
---Whepcrack
3.) Bladez
---Whepcrack
4.) Lord Van Bloot
---Destructokooza
5.)BrimFlame
---Vile Driver
6.)Ulmar
---Mugician's Lyre
2x Canon Of Casualty
2x Song Of Fury
2x Discord Of Disarming
2x Plasmarrow
2x Force Strike
2x Power Pulse
2x Ash Torrent
2x Dry Liquid
2x Gear Grind
2x Flashwarp
2x Incinerase
2x Evaporize
2x Reckless Reproach
2x Underworld Colosseum
1x Stone Pillar
2x The Pits
1x Gambreor's Hut
2x Castle Bodhran
2x The Barracks
it's all about dealing massive amounts of damage. based on flame based attacks, and power based attacks.
it's got alot of nice tricks as well.
lord van bloot, and destructozooka are a great pair of cards. . .but destructo only gives him the element, and element 5 for the turn it's flipped face up. after that, the battle gear has no effect.
enter gear grind. it flips all face up battle gear face down. not only does this allow me to re-use my destructozooka, but it can also shut down alot of pesky battle gear that i may run into (stonemail anyone?).
it's got bladez. . .i love this guy. not only does he have great power ratings, but he's got an amazing ability.
if an attack would deal 0 damage, it deals 15 damage instead. awesome.
bladez just makes it much easier to use my 2x evaporizes, and my 2x reckless reproach attack cards.
plus i'm running a Kha'rall Husk Armor on one of them. it gives him 50 energy (awesome), and the only negative effect it has. . .is if that creature takes 15+ damage from a single attack, the next attack i play with him will deal 0 damage. well equipped on blades, that 0 damage turns into 15 damage. it's just an amazing combo, and i can't wait to try it out online (haven't recieved my cards from toywiz yet).
it's also got some battlegear destruction in the form of my 2x discord of disarmings, and to a lesser degree my 2x gear grinds. just about everyone relies on their battle gear. . .this deck should really be able to throw people off.
and the biggest improvement this deck has recieved in my opinion? plasmarrow.
what a freaking unbelievable card. i wish i could run 4! lol
it's got a base damage of 10, plus 10 fire damage, and 10 air damage (that's 30+ damage used with my brimflame or either of my bladez. 20+ with any of my other critters aside from ulmar). it costs 3 build points, but the thing that really makes this card shine is it's text.
"opposing engaged creature may not be healed."
what?! did i read that correctly?
yes i did! lol
what an amazing card. it deals a serius blow, but it goes a step further and prevents your opponent from healing that creature for the rest of the battle.
this card single handly gives my deck a sizable lead over overworld decks, and should win me lots of games.
and it's only a rare. WOW!
look out heptadd, look out maxxor. . .i've got some serious rage comming your way!
this deck on paper looks amazing. it has alot of answer for alot of things. it looks very well thought out, and very well put together. i can't wait to put it into practice. it'll take me awhile to get it all worked out, but i do believe this is an extremely strong underworld deck. . .in fact it's one of the best i've seen. i'm really looking forward to mastering this deck.
hehe i'm proud that i'm the one that thought this deck list up. it's taken me awhile to come up with a really strong deck list, but i think i've nailed it with this list. sure it's missing a few cards, but overall it looks amazing.

DAMN! i hate the new macbook!!! /shakes fist in the air. . .lol
man, looking at the new macbook and i'm extremely impressed.
it's amazing looking. it's like a mini macbook pro.
led lit screen, led lit keyboard, nvidia 9400m graphics chip, .95" thick, 4.5 pounds.
yummmy.
plus it's all aluminum.
man. . .why couldn't i have been just a little more patient. heh i knew there were rumors of apple updating their macbook line. . .but man, i wanted a computer right then and there, and at that point everything was just rumors. . .nothing official. not even any dates for up comming apple events or anything.
but lets get real.
i have the last gen macbook, 2.4ghz core 2 duo, 2gb ram (haven't wanted more since i got it. . .2gb has been more then enough so far), 160gb hdd, 1.09" thick (dam thin if you ask me), all white beautiful casing (i still LOVE the looks of this computer), etc.
i do love this thing, and even though it's been updated. . .there's really not much for me to hate about this macbook.
sure it'd be nice to have a brighter screen, and a led lit keyboard, as well as made of aluminum.
but honestly, i don't play pc games much. . .i do play world of warcraft, but that's the only game on the pc i'm really all that interested in. my current macbook plays world of warcraft very well for me. i have most graphic settings at half, and i get good frame rates. . .and even at half, the graphics of this game look amazing. i certianly will not complain about the performance of this machine. . .it's more then i need right now.
i'm sad i didn't wait just a little bit longer to pick up a mac. if i would've waited, i would've got the newest macbook line.
however, at the same time i'm fine with picking up my mac when i did.
it's still an amazing computer, and i'm still very much so in love with the size and looks of the thing. it's more computer then i really need right now, and i've had no problems with mine so far. . .in fact, it's the best damn piece of technology i've ever touched in my entire life. . .no joke. sure i've used faster computers, and i've used computers able to play some very graphic intensive games, but with everything the macbook has and does, at it's weight, size, and thickness. . .it's by far the most amazing piece of technology i've ever touched.
the point that i own it. . .well, it's still hard for me to believe. it's seriously one of my biggest dreams come true.
no worries macbook. . .i still love you <3.
i'm planning on keeping this thing for a couple years. keep it till i've got it fully paid off, and am starting to be held back by it.
who knows what apple will have out in the next 2-3 years.
one thing's for sure. . .after owning this macbook, apple will be the first place i look for a new notebook replacement.
i'm willing to pay the extra money on their computers. they cost a premium. . .but man are they all amazing.
i hate the new macbook, because for a second there. . .it made me regret owning my current macbook. . .lol.

new chaotic cards. . .
okay well i'm really liking chaotic the card game.
it's expensive though. to really be able to compete online, you gotta have a pretty strong deck built.
of course, if you want to be really competitive in any trading card game, you gotta have the best cards. . .so i can't really complain too much.
i pulled a chaor from a starter deck i bought at k-mart. . .and after buying several more starter decks, some random booster packs, and a booster box of the first set dawn of perim, i'm pretty much stuck with a flame based deck.
i pulled a heptadd from another starter deck, but i didn't have any other good strong overworld creatures to go along with him.
so i built a underworld flame deck (deck list posted in my blog earlier).
it's been doing really bad in masters. it just didn't have the power level i need to compete.
so i'm looking to upgrade my deck. a new set just came out (m'arillion invasion) and it has several awesome cards that'd really pump my deck up. one of the cards is called bladez.
i just purchased 2 bladez on ebay for $2.99 each with free shipping. a heck of a deal if you ask me.
there's several other cards i plan on picking up for my deck from the new set, but they'll have to wait for now (cards i'm wanting right now are: 2x plasmarrow, and a primal smash).
then i decided to bid on a lord van bloot.
now he goes anywhere from $60-$120 on ebay. i'm not willing to spend more then $50 on a chaotic card right now.
but i decided to bid on a bloot just for the heck of it, with a max bet of $41. i knew it would go for alot more then this, but i was bored, and thought it'd be a dream come true if i won it for so cheap.
well i ended up winning him for $26 with free shipping, lmao. that's just amazing.
i sold my heptadd (second heptadd i've sold. i received both my heptadds in starter decks). it went for $45, so i used that money to pay my bloot off, and i bought another whepcrack, another song of fury, and 2 force strikes.
here's what my current deck looks like with all my new cards added in:
CREATURES:
123
45
6
1.) Bladez
---Viledriver
2.) Chaor
---Whepcrack
3.) Bladez
---Viledriver
4.) Lord Van Bloot
---Whepcrack
5.) Klasp
---Ring Of Na'Arin
6.) Magmon
---Ring Of Na'Arin
MUGIC:
2x Canon Of Casualty
2x Song Of Fury
2x Discord Of Disarming
ATTACKS:
2x Force Strike
2x Power Pulse
2x Torrent Of Flame
2x Ash Torrent
2x Inferno Gust
2x Emberswarm
1x Matagore
1x Steam Rage
2x Flashwarp
2x Incinerase
2x Evaporize
LOCATIONS:
2x Underworld Colosseum
1x Lava Pond
1x Stone Pillar
2x Fear Valley
2x Cordac Falls Plungepool
1x Storm Tunnel
1x Everrain
so this is actually a pretty major upgrade to my current deck. should be much, much stronger after i receive my new cards.
but it'll still be a bit weak, missing some power.
i plan on building this deck pretty dang strongly. it just may take me a bit of time to get all the cards i need for it.
here's my new deck i'd like to aim at having eventually:
CREATURES:
123
45
6
1.) Bladez
---Whepcrack
2.) Klasp
---Stone Mail
3.) Lord Van Bloot
---Viledriver
4.) Chaor
---Whepcrack
5.) Bladez
---Viledriver
6.) Ulmar
---Mugician's Lyre
MUGIC:
2x Canon Of Casualty
2x Song Of Fury
2x Discord Of Disarming
ATTACKS:
2x Plasmarrow
2x Force Strike
2x Flame Orb
2x Ash Torrent
2x Inferno Gust
1x Primal Smash
1x Ember Swarm
2x Flashwarp
2x Incinerase
2x Evaporize
2x Reckless Reproach
LOCATIONS:
2x Underworld City
2x Underworld Colosseum
2x Lava Pond
2x Castle Brodhran
2x Stone Pillar
i'm at least $100 away from this build. i'll work on it slowly, and hopefully i'll have a deck like this of my own eventually.
this deck looks rock solid on paper. it's very beatable of course, but at the same time, it's extremely powerful.
it's based pretty much completely on either flame attacks or power based attacks. all my creatures have high power stats.
klasp with stone mail? 120 energy = big thorn in your opponent's side. plus i can give him flame: 5, or even flame: 10 with my song of fury's. that makes for one very, very mean critter.
i HAVE to run plasmarrow in this deck. it prevents my opponent from healing his engaged creature (maxxor who?), but it has a build cost of 3. . .means i gotta run quite a few 0 build point attacks.
which is exactly why i love bladez.
his ability says that if an attack he plays would deal 0 damage it deals 15 instead. that's amazing, and makes running 2x evaporize and 2x reckless reproach much easier. plus he has a really high attack, and both the flame and air elements (plasmarrow deals 30 damage with him).
the rest of the deck is pretty self explanatory. . .attack, attack, attack.

i love my new mac :)
well, as i stated earlier, my macbook arrived in the mail today.
everything feels like a complete daze to me.
now i will admit that i am extremely tired (lol this dam mac wont let me goto sleep! ;p), so that may have a little to do with it.
it's just that it hasn't really impacted me yet.
I HAVE A MACBOOK! AND IT'S AMAZING!
it's been at least 2 years (probably 3, or possibly even more) since i've owned a computer that runs. i've been living off of my lg voyager cell phone for my main entertainment for the last half of a year. i love the cell phone, and it's hands down the coolest handheld gadget i've ever owned.
but i out grew it.
surfing the web is fun and all, but i needed more. i needed to be able to download files, i needed flash and java, and i needed to run programs.
my phone just couldn't do all of that for me (duh lol).
i also had my parent's computer. but i honestly haven't been on it much since they've received foster kids (my dad put the computer in one of the kid's rooms. . .it's a major pet peeve of mine when people watch me while i'm on a computer. . .the kids do alot of that.)
well now i have a macbook.
i'm getting wifi (my mac isn't picking up the mcdonald's signal that my mom's was :( ).
i've been on the net practically all day long.
i also put a bunch of my songs on this computer.
itunes is awesome.
i've used it a tiny bit before, but i really didn't like it for anything other then transferring songs on my sister's and friend's ipods.
but today i've been having all sorts of fun with it.
i love how easy itunes makes it to get internet radio. just click on the radio, and there's categories. . .there's some great stations too.
i've also been having alot of fun going through all the podcasts (especially video podcasts).
this is the first time i've actually had any podcasts, and it's been alot of fun. itunes made it extremely simple.
i installed starcraft.
i haven't played this game in years, but i remember it being the very first game i played on my first laptop i got (a sony viao. . .it really sucked). it's an amazingly fun game, and even though the graphics are waaay out of date, it's still an amazing experience.
i haven't actually played it yet, but i'll get to it once i'm done trying to figure out my mac.
i also installed a demo version of world of warcraft (with a 14 day trial). i was able to put alot of the settings on medium high - high, and still get a very, very playable frame rate (not sure of an exact number here, but it was very playable. . .very little laggyness).
i definitely plan on getting pretty heavy back into world of warcraft.
i spent many, many hours playing this game on private servers. but i had a level 20+ character that i had spent well over 70 hours on, and one of the servers crashed. . .i lost my beloved character. :( haven't played the game since.
now when i get back in, i'll be playing on blizzard's servers. i'm willing to pay the $15 monthly fee if i can feel confident i wont be losing my character again.
besides; the private servers i played on were never very populated.
i've been running off of my fully charged battery for at least 2 1/2 hours now. my screen is at max brightness. all i've done is played on the net, but it's still impressive.
it shows it still has another 1 1/2 hours before the battery dies.
4 hours on a charge? that's almost unbelievable.
not sure what else to say right now. i'm extremely tired, and need sleep lol (please let me sleep mac!!!).
i was pretty surprised at the weight of the macbook when i first picked it up out of the box. i thought it'd be lighter then it is.
but i'm actually happy about that. i don't like things that weigh next to nothing. . .i like a little heft to my products. makes them feel more substantial, and solid. i'm really happy with the weight, and oddly enough, the more i play on it today the lighter it seems to get. lol
i have alot to learn with macs and leopard. i'd like to know how to completely remove applications. doesn't leopard have a program preloaded to uninstall unwanted applications? (i haven't found it if it's there). i'm also not quite use to the keyboard yet.
i love this keyboard. it feels great to type on, and is very responsive.
but the keys are a bit small, and i'm finding it kinda hard to adjust to the keyboard with flashflashrevolution. (of course being as tired as i am doesn't help either).
but i'll get use to the computer, along with leopard. and i have a feeling i wont be going back to windows for quite some time.
but yeah, it still hasn't fully impacted me that i actually own a macbook.
not only is it amazing looking, but it's amazingly fast, and has some amazing software (including the operating system).
it all feels like a dream. i mean this can't really be my computer right?
but it's sitting right here with me in my lap. . .it's real!
I HAVE A MACBOOK!!!
lol i'm so excited.
i can't wait to get a good night's sleep (knock on wood) tonight, so hopefully i have more energy with my mac tomorrow.

i haven't played this game in years, but i remember it being the very first game i played on my first laptop i got (a sony viao. . .it really sucked). it's an amazingly fun game, and even though the graphics are waaay out of date, it's still an amazing experience.
i haven't actually played it yet, but i'll get to it once i'm done trying to figure out my mac.
i also installed a demo version of world of warcraft (with a 14 day trial). i was able to put alot of the settings on medium high - high, and still get a very, very playable frame rate (not sure of an exact number here, but it was very playable. . .very little laggyness).
i definitely plan on getting pretty heavy back into world of warcraft.
i spent many, many hours playing this game on private servers. but i had a level 20+ character that i had spent well over 70 hours on, and one of the servers crashed. . .i lost my beloved character. :( haven't played the game since.
now when i get back in, i'll be playing on blizzard's servers. i'm willing to pay the $15 monthly fee if i can feel confident i wont be losing my character again.
besides; the private servers i played on were never very populated.
i've been running off of my fully charged battery for at least 2 1/2 hours now. my screen is at max brightness. all i've done is played on the net, but it's still impressive.
it shows it still has another 1 1/2 hours before the battery dies.
4 hours on a charge? that's almost unbelievable.
not sure what else to say right now. i'm extremely tired, and need sleep lol (please let me sleep mac!!!).
i was pretty surprised at the weight of the macbook when i first picked it up out of the box. i thought it'd be lighter then it is.
but i'm actually happy about that. i don't like things that weigh next to nothing. . .i like a little heft to my products. makes them feel more substantial, and solid. i'm really happy with the weight, and oddly enough, the more i play on it today the lighter it seems to get. lol
i have alot to learn with macs and leopard. i'd like to know how to completely remove applications. doesn't leopard have a program preloaded to uninstall unwanted applications? (i haven't found it if it's there). i'm also not quite use to the keyboard yet.
i love this keyboard. it feels great to type on, and is very responsive.
but the keys are a bit small, and i'm finding it kinda hard to adjust to the keyboard with flashflashrevolution. (of course being as tired as i am doesn't help either).
but i'll get use to the computer, along with leopard. and i have a feeling i wont be going back to windows for quite some time.
but yeah, it still hasn't fully impacted me that i actually own a macbook.
not only is it amazing looking, but it's amazingly fast, and has some amazing software (including the operating system).
it all feels like a dream. i mean this can't really be my computer right?
but it's sitting right here with me in my lap. . .it's real!
I HAVE A MACBOOK!!!
lol i'm so excited.
i can't wait to get a good night's sleep (knock on wood) tonight, so hopefully i have more energy with my mac tomorrow.

till next time,

more happy news :)
okay, i knew i was getting a unprotected wifi connection at my apartment a couple of months ago, because i use to connect to it with my nintendo ds before it broke.
it wasn't the strongest of signals, but i knew it'd work for me.
i wanted to make sure i was still getting the wifi in my appartment, so i just took my mom's notebook (a dell vostro 1500) up to my appartment to see if it was catching any signals.
it catches 2 signals. the one i was using with my ds. . .and a mcdonald's signal. . .lol.
i live about 1/4 mile from a mcdonald's that offers free wifi.
how i get a signal from that far away, i have no idea (i didn't think wifi could reach that far).
but sure enough, there it is. . .not only that, but i was getting a full signal. :D
so awesome.
so as long as my local mcdonald's stays open, and decides to keep giving out free wifi (i can't imagine them not doing offering it), i've got myself free high speed internet.
so freaking awesome. i really couldn't be happier about that.
plus i'm almost positive that if my mom's cheap laptop can pick up the signal, my macbook will easily pick up the signal as well.
till next time,
thnx.

MACBOOK ON IT'S WAY!!! WOOT!
okay. . .i didn't get aproved for a macbook pro.
i tried both apple's juniper card, and bill me later on getting a $2000 macbook pro.
just wasn't ment to be.
declined on both (i was suprised bill me later denied my dad. . .we just payed off an $1100 camera purchase we made through his bill me later account).
my parents were willing to goto thier bank and get an extension on a loan to get me my macbook pro.
but i talked them out of it. . .i just don't feel comfortable doing that to them (what happens if they need to get an extension on a loan themselves later on? i don't want to screw them up).
. . .
so that's okay.
i honestly think i was getting in a bit over my head. i was getting carried away, and getting waaaay ahead of myself with the macbook pro.
lets get real for a second.
i really don't make a alot monthly (heh you'd never be able to tell, what with my recent $1400 camera purchase, and now this), it be a pain in the ass paying a $2000 computer off.
it'd take me at least 2 years to fully pay off my macbook pro (at $100 monthly payments).
i do love the macbook pro. . .but honestly, who wouldn't? but yeah, it's just too much for me.
i'm okay that my dad didn't get aproved for the credit. i was being rash, and obsessive.
so i talked it over with my parents.
the macbook (the non pro) is an amazing computer too. in fact it's the notebook i wanted originaly.
i love the looks of it (i love clean white machines. i loved my nintendo ds before it broke, i love the looks of the ipod, and i just really like high end electronics in nice white. very clean looking).
i love the processor in the macbook (2.4GHz intel core 2 duo), and i especialy like how thing and light the thing is.
plus it's only around $1200 with taxes, and a carrying bag refurbished. . .much, much more within my means (i can pay this off in just over a year. . .which is alot better then 2+ years).
the only thing the macbook doesn't do for me. . .is play games (newer graphic intensive games).
but honestly, i've never been much of a pc gamer.
when i had a computer up and running, it'd run games. . .but i never played games on it (other then world of warcraft, magic online, and flashflashrevolution).
so the fact that the macbook doesn't play newer games, really isn't a huge deal to me.
so yeah, i decided to go with the macbook.
bill me later wasn't aproving my dad for $2000. i thought they would, but they wouldn't.
but i was almost positive they'd aprove a $1200 purchase.
the macbook is $1099 refurbised. i also go a small carrying case for the macbook for $30. the grand total was around $1186 with tax.
i didn't want to go over $1200, because i really wanted my dad's bill me later to get aproved.
and sure enough, it went through! :D :D :D :D
so within a week (hopefully it doesn't take longer) i'll be a mac owner. . .hehe i can't freaking wait.
i'm walking away today without my dream/fantasy computer. . .but i'm walking away with an amazingly fast, clean, light, small, and great looking computer. it's all the computer i need for now, and it'll do everything i'm looking for.
it's protable so i can take it with me wherever i may go.
it'll alow me to download all the things i like to download, and play my dvds.
it'll burn dvd's for me (great for backing up my photos).
it'll play world of warcraft, magic online, chaotic, and flashflashrevolution (the only games that really matter to me).
it'll allow me to surf the net (man i miss having a computer at my appartment to play on the net).
and soooo much more.
plus it's just so dam cute.
most people say the macbook is an old design, and is boring looking now (since it's been out for so long).
but i live in the middle of wyoming. the only time i've seen a macbook is through my aunt who owns one, but she lives out of state.
other then that i've never seen a mac in my town. . .so even though it may be an old design in most places. . .it'll still be very cool to own one in my town. ;p. . .sure blows away any other notebook as far as looks go i've seen around here.
so yeah, i'm stoked right now. actually it hasn't even hit me quite yet. I'M GETTING A MAC! lol so cool.
i can't wait to recieve this. i'll have much more to say about it soon.
till next time,
thnx.
