There’s a Penny Jar RIGHT THERE!
Minecraft Full Release is Out!
Minecraft 1.0 has come out! At long last the full version of the game has been released. You can update it now! Why are you reading this? Go! Upgrade! If you don’t have minecraft, buy it!
True 3D Holograms
Yes, this isn’t a hologram that’s trapped in a glass container like the ones revealed so far. This one works without the constraint of a screen and can work in mid air and in water. So far it can display images and moving images at 12 – 15 fps. It works by exciting the oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the air with a laser, causing them to emit light. Here’s actual video showing the water version (green lasers) and then the aerial version.
Myr Machine Gun!
Reanimate to load the machine gun!
Here’s a little combo/infinite loop I found that deals infinite damage. It can win on turn 4, providing you draw a good hand.
Turn 1: Play forest, then Birds of Paradise
Turn 2: Play Heartless Summoning, then at least 1 Perilous Myr
Turn 3: Play BloodBond March
Turn 4: Play another myr. Return a myr from graveyard to play. Rinse and Repeat. Infinite Damage.

If all else fails, beat face with Wurmcoil, Grave Titan, Glissa, and Bump in the Night! Unburial rights for any creature. Flashback is available for bump and unburial rights because of Birds of Paradise. Buried ruin to return perilous myr cheaply, just in case.
However, there’s a problem with the loop. If all the actions in a loop are mandatory (this is the case for this loop) the game ends with a draw. I’m unsure whether or not this applies if the loop deals damage to a player as well. So, just in case, I put in Naturalize to destroy the Bloodbond March or Heartless Summoning and break the loop after sufficient damage has been dealt.
Update 11/6/11
Hey readers! Long time no see! I haven’t updated this with posts for a loooong time. Well, I just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve been preoccupied with school and getting sick so… yeah. Some updates:
- I am a brony now (haters gonna hate) so there will be some MLP stuff (I’m going to make a new category for it.)
- Minecraft, the full version, will come out in 5 DAYS!!! It will be awesome!
- I’ll go back to sporadically updating, no more schedule. I’ll update as often as I feel like (which will be often, trust me)
- I plan on getting a domain name for World of Boab, I just need a steady source of money
Bill S.978
Thanks Dragon122 for asking that question
Just recently a bill has been proposed that will infringe on your rights to freely distribute information. This bill, called S.978, will make it a felony to upload video containing copyrighted material to the internet. Yes, that means people who upload karaoke videos, AMVs, and video game content to Youtube will be felons. On top of that, you can be charged with absurd fines and even go to jail for up to 5 YEARS. This law is being pushed by lobbyists from Hollywood who want to make more money. I understand where they’re coming from. It’s not right for people to steal content. However, this is a law that is up to interpretation. If someone had music playing the background of their vlog, even if its by accident, they can go to jail.
The implications of this bill are gigantic. I’m not an alarmist by any means, however this bill is absolutely ridiculous in its current form. If this bill had been passed say, when Red vs. Blue started, they people who made the series would have gone to jail or fined, then the series would be taken off the internet. If this bill passes in its current state, its obvious that people will break it. Whether its by accident or purposefully, somebody will be prosecuted. Then their lives would be ruined. How? They would be felons, so it’s harder for them to get a job (and times are hard enough as it is). They would waste up to 5 years of their lives in jail. Plus, they could end up broke because of the fines. The video game and music industry will probably slow down due to this bill. Uploaded videos of their content is a massive way of free advertisement. Machinima and your favorite gaming channels on Youtube would be done for. We cannot allow this to happen. If you want to keep making karaoke videos, AMVs, video game playthroughs and let’s plays, then go to freebieber.org and sign the petition. If you want to take a step further, call your congressman and tell them to say NO to S.978.

Here’s a deck that I just constructed on mtgvault! It’s basically a black red burn deck that has Balefire as a finisher. I start out the game with a lot of cheap spells to blast away at the opponent’s life and destroy troublesome creatures. The Curse of Pierced Heart is a good spell for consistent damage each turn but it is also replaceable. Then I put down Balefire Dragon and attach swiftfoot boots to it and deal lethal damage while dealing with the opponents creatures! I put in Isolation Cell to slow down the creature output.
Here’s the explanation for my sideboard:
Isolation Cell – replace the curses or swiftfoot boots. If my opponent likes to spam creatures
Combust – replace the curses. If my opponent runs blue/white creatures
Ancient Grudge – replace the curses. Kill Artifacts
Blasphemous Act – replace curses. If my opponent spams too many cheap creatures for my balefire or cells to contend with (i.e. elves) and its just a fun card! 😀
Witchbane Orb – replace curses. Take away other players’ curses and protect myself from mill and other target-happy decks.
Your Generation Must Be Destroyed
It’s Like Training
RIP Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs has died today, at age 56. This came to me as a shock. Unfortunately, his cancer got to him. He was a brilliant visionary in the world of computers and technology. I don’t own any Apple products. However, I do have a connection to him. He’s kind of been a role model to me when it comes to computer technology. I used to watch documentaries about the history of computers and see the parts about Jobs’ contributions. Anyways, I hope his family finds comfort during this time. And I pay my respects to this wonderful person.
