    @Stardust: Welcome Back! Going over to Curse, 'eh? Also.....I'd love to see that Chandra Alter! Get it finished and post it!

    @Clan Contests: Well.....we do go overboard with the crafting. We're all incredibly talented at a variety of pieces.

    @Lazersharp: Chomp! seems very interesting. I'm always interested in game theory, but I'm not as good with the mathematical interpretations of it. I haven't had a math course since Calculus......lord knows how many years ago. However, I am always curious about the psychological game theory that goes behind the math. As for sporcle quizzes...I don't really care for the format presented on the website. I tried a few of them and was mostly frustrated by the user interface. Very annoying. However, I try and listen to the music when you post it.

    @Kank: Yeah, yeah, I need to change my avatar. When I have some free time, maybe. I've got other stuff to do. Like post here.

    @Wheatabix: Glad you survived your college semester. Kick ass at the internship! Wish I could go to Germany.

    @Yoma: Good luck with Uni exams!

    Hey, I think this year I was really unhelpful in the contests.....still me likey shiney. It's why we'll dominate again this year. The Crafters is just plain awesome with everyone in here.

    @Lasersharp: I like the new avatar, actually. It's very pleasing. It's simple and honest. Good luck on the courses.

    @Abbey: Yay! Kidling. I honestly hate kids, so...enjoy? I wouldn't.

    @Fakespeare: Yo. Stay active.

    @Petsnake.....Snake!....SNAAAAAAAAAKE!: Whoa...Metal Gear Solid Flashback.

    @De-friend: Hmmmm.....I can think of two things:

    Obama is God!
    Obama is Satan!

    Take your pick.....most everyone I know will get up in arms about this....wait...Canadian.....

    Starbucks is better than Tim Horton's!

    Would that make you angry enough to de-friend me?

    @PG: I wouldn't EVER insinuate sleeping with my mom. You'd just end up catching something......foreign.

  • posted a message on How does your national and ethnic identity matter to you or make you who you are?
    Nationality: American.
    Ethnicity: Half German (Second generation, my grandparents on my mother's side both immigrated from Nuerenburg), the other half is of unknown origin. My father was adopted and has never pursued his birth identity.

    Yes, this does affect my life. I speak German and purposely keep my roots for myself and my children. I have spent two summers traveling in Schwabia and Bavaria. I indulge in the culture on a regular basis. I cook cultural dishes and seek it out. I celebrate certain Holiday traditions. It is a part of who I am.

    January marks the Start of a New Year of Clan Contest Domination by [The Crafters]. <----Official.

    Also:

    Ren and Plumpy
    Fatty Jobs

    Edit:
    As for music, I used to work as a mobile disc jockey for weddings and other events. I have probably listened to musical genres most hipsters haven't heard of. I can't really stand Enka or Folk, though.

    I do! Also, I can be crafty. I should show my Xmas Exchange cards. They are below this post.

    And Happy New Year!

    Edit: My wife did the Curse of the Swine.

    I received some of the horror of horrors....I mean Powdered Blackblade's alters. I have barely begun to regain control of my sanity. I too long stared into the abyss and found it staring back at me. But it felt kinda tingly, so I didn't mind too much. It was a cold and frozen tingle, but hey....tingly.

    I'll post them up a little later, so other might share in the pain.

    I'm glad my alters were received well. Grin I thought the flip token was sufficiently epic. And yes, we do have shiny bits in there.

    Merry Christmas, Clan! I hope Santa managed to bring everyone what they wanted. Even Kank who is probably highest on the naughty list. Guess What I'm Thinkin'

    As for the walker....I could care less about the abilities. What gorgeous artwork! Scott Fischer did some DAMN excellent work on it. Much love for it. However, I do have to say: I've seen enough anime to know where this is headed.........

    Congrats, Fellow Crafters who received trophies. I can already tell that Yomako's nicest member is well deserved. I have a friend who is a hugger. It was awful. Well, not really.

    @Kank: No can do on the review. I'm about to skip out for a few days of well-earned R and R with my family to travel to my brother's.

    @All: Did anyone here participate in the MTGS Xmas card exchange?

    @Kank: Thank you for the update on who has come and gone. I'm not surprised Syphon got banned (again).

    @Yomako: Nice to meet you!

    @Lazer: I'm hoping to stay here for a while this time. *Crosses Fingers.* Also, I agree with PG's assessment. Aurora was known for jumping, LZ is known for music and sporcle quizzes.

    Kank neither killed me nor subdued me with hugs. It wasn't hugs. Guess What I'm Thinkin'

    Really, it was crazy work. I went from almost having no work at all to becoming part of a 3-person management team in charge of day-to-day operations.

    Yay! Go Clan! Rock the submissions.

    Hi Abby! Long live the Dragons!

    Hi Grey! Keeping it neither black nor white?

    Hi Yomako! Were you a clan member when I left?

    Frozen was good. Tangled was better.

    Whoa, Lord. What an eventful year it's been. I think I might have time to breath and poke my head in. Hi guys, miss me?

  • posted a message on Good (geeky) board games for 5 year olds?
    I've got a Five-year-old who's been gaming with us for 2 years. I would suggest looking at some age-appropriate games (I'm guessing ages 6-8, realistically, it works for my 5 year old). I've found stuff from Game Wright Games, who just so happen to make Forbidden Island. A lot of their games are really quite fun (even for adults), while still being great board games for their ages. The best part is they're designed to be shorter, while still engaging and learning.

    The other game company I've found making great children's games is Blue Orange Games. They do some fantastic work as well. They're designed for some younger play in mind, but, again, they're easy to learn and great for the age group. Our son quite loves Pengaloo. It's a memory-style game, which isn't necessarily challenging for adults, but he gets a kick out of it.

    Check 'em out for games that are age-appropriate, fun, and non-traditional.

    White Male with an International Studies Bachelors Degree, focusing on World Development and Relations.

    Your political compass

    Economic Left/Right: -4.88
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.56


    Looking at this, it's actually pretty darn accurate for me. I'm a big fan of Liberal Socialism and prefer companies with a conscience, even if the government needs to adjust it that way. Free market is good, but frankly, not at the cost of humanity.
