Personal Traits Test Results
Posted 14 years agoSo I'd saw a lot of people doing a test that shows what traits you have. Well I got curious and took the test. And here's my results.
Original
You are not always ready to talk at the drop of a hat. Whether you're in the office or at a party, you're not likely to be found gabbing away in the middle of a group of people.
Solitary
You are a private person, not very comfortable in a big group, and view excessive socializing as a waste of time.
You not prefer hanging out with others to spending time alone; you do not tend to feel at home in a crowded room, club, stadium, or auditorium.
Self-Contained
You like to stick to your own business and leave the power struggles to others; you know who you are and what you believe in, but you don't see any reason to impose your values on everyone else.
You generally don't get involved in organizing or motivating people, and you don't feel the need to always be seen as a big public decision-maker.
Understanding
You are willing to take the time to find out what's going on with other people, especially if they're in distress. You're a good listener, you don't criticize, and you offer unbiased, respectful, honest advice when it's requested. With a high score on the "understanding" trait, it is likely that you are enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.
You don't feel the need to impose your standards on others or say things that, even though true, cause pain.
Prudent
You look before you leap, think before you act, consider what you're about to say before you open your mouth to speak; that's why you rarely have to eat your words.
You usually don't get excited easily or blurt out the first thing that comes to mind without considering the consequences.
Meticulous
You tend to want everything you touch to be just right. You can spot errors, omissions, shoddy work, or bad taste from a mile away. You demand a lot of yourself, and you often hold others to the same standards.
You don't want to be one of those people who couldn't care less about doing a job well, and you don't think it helps to apologize for the sloppiness of others or cut them a lot of slack.
Unsettled
You may be comfortable on your home turf, but you have a tendency to be self-conscious in an unfamiliar environment. While you're usually at ease with your friends, you can be a little skittish around strangers.
You usually don't feel at home in unfamiliar settings or with new people. When you get rattled, you don't necessarily recover instantly.

Reports from April 3th Local Tournament.
Posted 14 years agoI could have post this last night, but after the tourney, I went to one of my friends place and stay there close to midnight. And when I got home, I was too tired to do this and went straight to bed.
Anyways, here's the duels of yesterday tournament.
Round One:
Match One: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoJBW1CmjPU
Match Two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RILssdaz-Lc
In the first round, I was up against a Six Samurai player, and, unfortunately, I got my butt handed to me. God, I hate playing against these deck. So annoying.
Round Two:
Match One/Two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn_esgTkHRE
In the second round, I had to duel with a teammate in my team. We were both playing with machina decks, but he's a little different for he also uses karakuri and plant in his deck.
Round Three:
Match One: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NvPoYFuGiMj
Third round and I'm having to duel against my own brother. *Gasp* D8
He used a frog variety of the monarchs, since it's popular these days. I only got one match recorded, because I wanted to be sure that I had room on my phone's SD card. But, in the end, I manage to win the second and third matches.
Round Four
Match One: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXxk.....eature=related
Match Two/Three: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwu-.....eature=related
Fourth round and I'm up against another Six Samurai deck, ARGH! What luck I have.... )X<
In the first match, I pretty much get beaten badly. But in the second and third, after side decking some cards, I make my comeback.
Top 8!
Match One: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBuT.....eature=related
Match Two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCeG.....eature=related
I made it to the Top 8, barely, and now dueling once again my teammate from Round Two. Unfortunately I didn't a god hand like in the first match in round two or got a decent hand in the second match, and I gotten bad hand in both matches. Because of that, I lost. There were a few errors I made that the judge and my friend allowed me to correct, but the outcome was the same.
Place in the Tournament: 8th place
So this time I got in 8th place. ever thou that I didn't get far, it was still pretty cool that I made it to the Top 8.
And this ends the report of April 3th Local Tournament. Now I'm thinking of making a new deck to play. My mind is on the "Fabled" arch-type right now, since I got a good amount of them and the support for them too. I mean Machina is awesome, but I've been playing it since couple weeks after the structure deck came out. And I'm sick and tired of Blackwing too, so I'm not going back to them (And beside, the current format isn't really doing any good with them anyways).
Anyways, here's the duels of yesterday tournament.
Round One:

Some Past Duels
Posted 14 years agoThese are some of my duels that I've recorded on my phone's camera. Two were at YCS and three at a local comic shop near me. I was only able to record one duel in each duels, because my phone was very limited in space back then. If anyone was waiting for my to post these, I'm sorry for the wait.

Back from YCS
Posted 14 years agoActually, I got home yesterday, but I was too tired to do anything and went straight to bed. So sorry for the delayed "I'm back" journal.
Back to the topic, I had a blast! Not including the six hour drive to Charlotte, SV, but a blast. When I got there, I was expecting little over hundred players there, but I was wrong. There were 40,000 players at the tournament! D8
I was overwhelmed at the number, but of course it was my very first time entering a big event and it was a championship tourney, so that makes sense. Like I'd said before, in a late journal, I'd ran Six Samurai, and did great in the first round. But at the second round and after that, I didn't do so well because of one major problem..., BAD HANDS!!! I couldn't get a decent hand in almost any duels, expect for a few duels, and at the time I'd start drawing good cards, it would be too late and my opponents would had something waiting for me. Solemn Judgment/Warnings, Bottomless Trap Hole, Effect Veilers, Thunder Kings, etc. So I had a bad case of luck with me. And it was the same with my older brother and all but one of my teammates.
And I have may overspent too. Before I left, I had two-hundred dollars in my wallet and when I got home, it's empty. o_o
Overall, I had fun. Lots and Lots of fun. Made friends, gotten cards, dueled other players, and even got some of my duels on the video camera in my phone. I'll be upload those sometime today. And I got some of my cards signed too. You can see them in my gallery.

LET THE INFERNO BEGIN!!!
Posted 15 years agoI now have Dante's Inferno and playing it right now! And loving it too!
So far, no death and just beat the second boss, nearly died tho, and I'm being a holy bastard. My Holy level is already at three and I've Absolved all the damned soul I've come across, but I feel that I'm gonna Punish someone in the future.
That's it for now. I'm off to continue my battles down in Hell!
