Level 14!

Yay, I finally got a golden whistle. It looks much better than the silver one.

And now have 10000 exp points. That's my first 10k stat. This means I also have a new fancy sword now (level 31).

If you're talking about the BBC reboot of Sherlock then yes, I love it, although the last episode annoyed me.

I didn't like the cliffhanger, but the rest of it was great.. I hope they don't end every series with a cliffhanger..

I watched the first two episodes of Dr.Who today.. I don't really like it. Seems a bit overrated, to me.. but I don't really like science fiction.

I'm guessing it's a show that requires a lot to watch before really getting into it. That and the fact that there are tons of episodes are why I haven't dived right in for Doctor Who.

Of course. With Magic there's a lot of planning to consider with the deck. You can't just splash any card in your deck and expect it to work which is a good thing since balance is always good.

True that. I recently popped in Resident Evil 3. Turns out I have to play it upstairs on our new TV because the old TV downstairs only shows the picture in Black & White (fuck you, NTSC!).
This is strange, though. I have played NTSC games before when I still lived with my mom. I only had a very tiny TV and connected my PS1 via my VHS Recorder to the TV. I could play the games in colour... so either I connected the VHS to the TV in a different way or it's just that the TV standing in my gaming room now doesn't support 60Hz, while my other TV did...

Well, you NEVER get transparent sleeves anyway, especially not with those transformation cards. BTW, with the Venser vs Koth decks, I feel I could be playing Venser quite a bit since the mixture of plain and island cards look interesting. Could be alright for a casual play but with the upcoming set released in a few weeks time, there'll be the intro pack for that as well.
