Happy New Years, it's 2010!


Letter from the Editor

Dear Readers,

Sorry for my lack of absence! I was in the mountains with no internet. But I present to you the new banner, done by me, I hope you like it. Everyone needs to come back from vacations for the PX! Other than that, happy new years!

Nothing life-changing or best posts, but two good reminder threads about some fundamentals you need to master if you want to step beyond D to the next level (other than macro). All of these skills are separately nothing special but will dividends almost immediately in ladder sessions, should you use them effectively.
  • This thread talks about using the minimap. Do whatever it takes to use it more.
  • Harem bumped this thread with updated Zerg sim cities on new maps. Again, use them. Good sim cities are essential in modern PvZ, I love seeing zergs who don't sim city properly.

GW.Methos was just temp banned for 30 days by SonuvBob.

That account was created on 2009-11-30 03:29:09 and had 172 posts.

Reason: Hi, welcome to TL.net. We have posting standards here. I'm not sure how you stayed under the radar for nearly a month, but I guess that's our fault. The shitty posting thing is most likely your fault though.

We highly recommend taking lessons from vGl-CoW, as he is our #1 poster and an expert on all things post-related. 30 days worth of lessons, to be precise, after which you can take a crack at reaching the top 50000.

Not a big issue, but appreciated as always.

I drank mostly wine. I was with old people watching the thin man movies on Turner Classic Movies. These old women kept talking about how hot all the hot old guys were. I enjoyed the humor in this. Not the most exciting evening, but there was a really great wedding the following day, so I didn't mind.

EDIT: Happy birthday dogg.

3 beers and a bit of champagne then i realized for the first time in the 4 years ive been drinking i really hate 90% of alcoholic beverages, they taste like shit, and being drunk is worse than being sober, if anything i get more reflective when im drunk, or high.

maybe the beer and champagne were just crap, and i was drunk ^ ^

also i lost all poker motivation, wtf is up with that. fuck new years.

and in the spirit of this whiney post, i liked the other banner better.
I still love you, kau and everything else about the px though <3

Had stitches for the ski-related lacerations on both legs, then had exactly one beer and fell asleep at like 9pm.
