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.

i got smashed, i had a bunch of jello shots and beers and then few adios, then i decided to try to make my own (which was like 90% alcohol) and then I don't remember anything. I guess I passed out in the middle of the floor.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

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.

You realize saying "sorry for my lack of absence" means that you're sorry that you were here?
