If so, how did you become strong enough to withstand the high gravity (10x of Earth) on King Kai's planet? Also, how does Gregory withstand it as well? Crazy little bug that can fly very fast like it is nothing on that planet. . . . o_O

advice from old man..

- Less emphasis on "funny" & "comic" when it comes to thread mention.. maybe we start seeing more serious threads, replies & need less banning.
- Rekrul deserved better card.

At this rate, we'll be able to play the TL.net card game in a year or so, hm? Where are the land/mana cards? The progamers (they better be good too, considering how many cards cripple them)? T_T

It would be even more incredibly awesome if someone could get up a thread with all of the cards so they'd be all in one place. They're 40 KB a pop, though, so hopefully that wouldn't get to be a problem even were there an eventual 100+ cards.

Yes, I think it's a relatively recent WCG picture from Monza, the complement to the check-stealing picture.

I was about to say the same thing. I just read it.
The Sea and Boxer updates I missed. I personally already read the Boxer one a long time ago, but the Sea article is very very nice.

Plus I have a strong gut feeling that we may see Canata vs Sea again on SuperFight for a one gamer.
The two are 1-1 right now and the Story on SenseofStar is fun.

More people need to vote for me as scariest mod!

Although really I would say Twisted is the scariest at this point in time.
