YCLoveMaker Hotel: We Love You All to Death~!

[Simping For Hina]

Yeah... Dot play Magic. I've heard the argument "It's a lot less complicated than Yugioh" or "It's easier to understand." I call bull. I've seen this game played before. A few times. The guys were throwing around all these spells and creatures. Yeah, it's pretty similar. I understand yugioh fine. I've kept up to date with it. I did not understand half of what these guys were doing. So, yeah. How's that "It's easy to understand" plan coming along?

Let us get something straight here. You didn't understand it because you never actually experienced. Being in the game is different from watching it. It is where you can learn up front with someone guiding you along the way and taking the time to actually show you how to play. When it is between two experienced mages, magic players, it is going to be completely different because they are accustomed to a speed and turn set, everything happens at a faster moveset. They don't take the time to help other people learn because they are only focused on what the other person is doing. The level is going to be so much different, as well as the way the people play. When it comes to actually learning the game, there are going to be people to help you through out the way and explain why to do something and why not to do something. That doesn't happen in a game where two people are almost equal in skill until the end because there is a mindset in that type of game, it is called competitiion. If you are starting out, the speed is going to be slower and there is also a chance to grasp. If you want to watch a game between two and actually try to understand it, ask the players to slow down.

Another thing is, you also grew up where there was a tv show actually played out the game and when through development. The closet thing to an anime is the manga based around the flavor of the game, not actually involvinng game play. Or you could watch one episode of Watamote, where they only played about 30 seconds. Magic is different because you can't just watch it on TV or watch people playing, but you have to experience it and learn the game at a much more capable speed to how you learn. The game is not as easy to learn as Yu-Gi-Oh is due to the different abilities that exist in the game and the different way to create a deck. One does not simply throw cards together and be able to play, it takes much more of a focused mind filled with understanding of synergy and math skills to figure out a gameplan. It is easier to start out though with the basics. Play lands, tap them, play spells or creatures. The way a turn is set up is pretty much the same as Yu-Gi-Oh. And in a more competitive situation, it is also friendlier toward new players to just play games since mistakes don't set you back as much.

 

It is like when I was learning Cardfight Vanguard, I hardly knew anything. I only got to learn because I actually watched the anime. It was also different because the game was a lot slower in the anime than it was watching people actually play the game. There are many things that set up the complexity of a game, but Magic: The Gathering is definitely more forgiving and the basics are very easy to learn if you actually participate. Just because you watched it when people were playing doesn't mean you actually were able to understand it since they weren't trying to help people understand. If you don't know the basics before the game begins, there is no way you're going to catch on anyways.

 

 

 

If you're talking about the power level of cards, they actually are more of a focused idea and in a continuously changing format, the power levels of cards always change. Standard, the most changing format of the game, is actually 2 complete blocks and 2 core sets, unless rotation comes.

 

Happy Birthday, my pet, Thar. I don't know why I am even on this site.

[Jake the Sage]

I'm going to break my tradition of making one game my main; I will play both X and Y in a row and give equal devotion.

I think I'll go Chespin and Charmander for X, then Fennekin and Squirtle for Y.

 

I actually usually buy both so that I can play them and get both of the legendary Pokemon. However I wanted to just play one of the new Pokemon games without buying the others.

 

I was going for Pokemon Y since I prefer its legendary Pokemon, but from what I've seen X has the cooler Mega Evolutions of the Pokemon I want to use; namely Mewtwo and Charizard.

 

though one of my friends did bring up a good point. Flying was actually a good thing for Charizard, since it prevented him from being damaged by the most commonly used ground-type move ever, Earthquake.

 

So I am really indecisive . . .

 

On the subject of games, is anyone else with GTA 5 very frustrated with the inability to get onto GTA Online? I mean, it came out just yesterday, and the popularity caused an overload, but goddammit I wanna get on.

 

I don't have a PS3 so I can't complain about it . . . at all (83)

Nah, it's actually really easy. I half watched some kids play it while playing Persona 3 and one day I got sort of bored so I used the supposedly worst deck they had and beat them really badly. They probably just sucked though and that should be obvious when I let a guy correct a move just so I could use some shroud or something card I've had laying around on the field for half the game to make some big ass worm invisible and finish the guy off. Doing that felt damn great though. F*ck that kid.

[Jake the Sage]

I used the supposedly worst deck they had and beat them really badly.

 

Yeah everyone else at college has these big fancy decks with special cards that, if they get them out, are supposed to be unbeatable and would always end the game. Like a 20/20 that is invincible and has trample; for those of you who don't know, trample is akin to Yu-Gi-Oh monster's that have a "pierce effect".

 

So considering you only have 20 HP makes him an easy win card.

 

Yet somehow in a single match I'm proving to be quite difficult to beat when my deck(s) work out how they should.

 

They probably just sucked though and that should be obvious when I let a guy correct a move just so I could use some shroud or something card I've had laying around on the field for half the game to make some big ass worm invisible and finish the guy off. Doing that felt damn great though. F*ck that kid.

 

Yeah I beat one of our regular players when I first fought him, even though I made mistakes, which he wouldn't let me correct, and after I beat him I said, "You do know the match would've been shorter if I had remembered half of the game, right?"

 

Also I beat him again recently using an unblockable lifelink angel combo. Lifelink basically means anything damage the monster causes if given to me as life, add on an equip card that increases her attack and defense by +1 for every successful attack . . . yeah I basically slaughtered him since she was unblockable.

 

Then he had the nerve to say it was unfair that I had an unblockable monster when he had one on the field as well. As the best player of our group said, "Dude, don't b*tch about unblockable monsters when you play'em too."

 

[hr]

 

Anyone watch the new Legend of Korra?

[Jake the Sage]

Hey Broken, did you see the Transformers Prime special?

[The Warden]

Oh, you mean that special I saw 2 weeks ago due to a handy dandy leak i was privvy too? If so, yes I did.

[Jake the Sage]

Oh, you mean that special I saw 2 weeks ago due to a handy dandy leak i was privvy too? If so, yes I did.

 

You got to see it two weeks earlier? God d*mn it Broken why you get the good sh*t and I had to wait?

 

Well, what did you think?

[The Warden]

Fairly nice. Callback to Gen I movie with Starscream; rather rushed conclusion with a bizzare defeat the boss mechanic. Otherwise, it was alright. Also, Knockout did pretty good, I was right in backing him.

[Jake the Sage]

Yeah that confused me . . . did Starscream get killed?

[Spirit of DMG]

Hmmmm... Meh, I may consider playing Magic. At some point. Maybe.

At any rate, today was pretty fun. Didn't do anything fancy, but got to hang out with some family and friends. 

Happy Birthday to me.

[Jake the Sage]

Yeah that confused me . . . did Starscream get killed?

[Jake the Sage]

Okay so I still want to know if Starscream got killed. That was left really vague and I can't tell if he did or not. I'd say he died but then again I thought Shockwave was killed by the Zombie Predacons and he ended up showing up again later in the movie.

 

But now onto a topic everyone can talk about . . . Pokemon X and/or Y!

 

It comes out tomorrow as everyone knows. So who has preordered it? Who is going to get it the day it comes out? What version are you planning on getting? Which starter are you going to go with?

[Spirit of DMG]

I got Pokemon Y. I just captured a Snorlax that's probably gonna stay in the box the whole game. So far, I'm not disappointed. And I got Ralts! I'm happy. :3

[The Warden]

With even the modest data collectd by Serebii, I've already started my team paradigm.

 

My current modus for X is: Greninja, Charizard, Lucario, Gardevoir, Garchomp & Roserade.

 

Y is still running though processing for now.

[Jake the Sage]

I got Pokemon Y. I just captured a Snorlax that's probably gonna stay in the box the whole game. So far, I'm not disappointed. And I got Ralts! I'm happy. :3

 

Where did you find Ralts? I'm going through this blind so I haven't looked up any official information like Broken. I don't even know if Flabebe evolves (>>)

 

And it appears we're about the same distance, at least when you posted this.

 

My current module for X is: Greninja, Charizard, Lucario, Gardevoir, Garchomp & Roserade.

 

I don't have a plan for a particular battle team yet. Like I said above I am going through this blind . . . for once.

 

Also you never answered if Starscream was killed.

[The Warden]

No one knows dude, that's kinda the thing.

Also, Ralts are found on Route 4

[Spirit of DMG]

Ralts is on Route 4. Flabebe evokes into Floette at level 19

[Jake the Sage]

No one knows dude, that's kinda the thing.

 

Ah that kind of . . . well . . . sucks. I hate not knowing if my favorite Decepticon is dead or alive (>>)

 

Flabebe evokes into Floette at level 19

 

Well considering I'm no longer using Flabebe . . .

[Nathanael D. Striker]

Well Jake, the Hotel's former owner is back. I wonder what's going to happen.

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

I'm willing to bet pretty much nothing. I don't see why something would.

[Jake the Sage]

Well Jake, the Hotel's former owner is back. I wonder what's going to happen.

 

Are you talking about Windows? Because that's who I bought the hotel from and I didn't think he'd come back at all. Also DF ninja'd me when he said it:

I don't see why something would.

 

Yeah I don't see why it WOULD change anything.

 

[hr]

 

Now with that done I want to apologize for being gone so long. My brother is back from overseas and I've been spending quite a bit of catch up time with him since we haven't seen each other in a year. And with it being October we've been going around with friends and family to all of the haunted attractions close by to go through them.

 

And before anyone asks no I did not get frightened by them. At all.

 

In fact, to repeat what I actually said after getting out of one of the haunted houses

Man, give us that kind of money and we'd blow this thing out of the water.

 

Seriously. I believe I've already told my story about the haunted trail we did when we were in High School and had barely any money to buy sh*t.

 

[hr]

 

OH! And I beat Y

[Thar]

Yeah, that guy opened up a "Return Hotel" just yesterday. It's really awkward, though I guess I can see it as some sort of "new member" version of this one, kinda like "Society within a society", except with hopefully more decent grammar and maybe some club events.

 

It's just an awkward return in general. He started a contest, which I joined just cause I had nothing else to do, but I doubt it will fill up anytime soon, and with how quickly he rated the first contestant's card, he hasn't gotten back on mine, so I assume he just abandoned it.

 

This whole thing regarding new or returning members is just one big clusterfuck.

[Nathanael D. Striker]

Well, posting the score of the only card that was submitted prior to yours is unfair to those who are considering the possibility of entering. It puts unneeded pressure on them.

[Thar]

Well, posting the score of the only card that was submitted prior to yours is unfair to those who are considering the possibility of entering. It puts unneeded pressure on them.

 

I guess he didn't know that. I told him and he got rid of the rating.

[Jake the Sage]

Yeah I don't particularly care if there is another hotel around. Hell! Striker tried to do one himself and we saw how far that got. However I'm willing to bet that it'll go farther than either of our clubs because he's already making contests and what not.
