Katrina: The Gathering
This is the combined effort of Ubiq and Lum to use our mighty ubergeek powers to laugh in the face of that which cannot be explained. No offense is intended, unless offended is a Bureaucrat or Politician creature.

Scott Jennings is the man. LTM was one of the first rant sites I got hooked on.

I like how the owner of the guitar is making last minute adjustments on his life-sized poseable doll with realistic washable skin that talks and, apparently, sings!

What's cool about these is that they're still funny if you haven't played the game. (I tested them on a friend whose geekscore is lower than mine.)

Interesting. I wouldn't know since I *do* play the game (played, it's been a long time...). I did notice the card writer's successful effort to make the cards "playable" and fairly balanced. As to the breaking of the newer rules and conventions, I will refrain from dazzling you with my ignorance.

And even from someone who has a fairly high geekscore, they are damned funny.

All that for only 3 white and 3? What ever happend to game balance.... :-)

6 mana for a 5/5 creature isn't unusual. Plus, give white's inclination toward protection, the attack prevention special ability is right in character.


Oh yeah, ;)

True, it is white.

2 white and 3 for a 4/4 flyer is fair but...... the bitch don't tap.

This may be dating my magic the gathering days. In case anyone is interested, I have approx. 1000 rare and uncommons from 3rd/4th editions, ice age block and mirage block. including 40+ dual lands that I could proabably be talked into (see bought) parting with.
If anyone here still plays.....

370 kinds of awesome.

I bow to those with the obviously higher geekscores ...

(I have a box somewhere with approximately four or five assembled decks of Magic cards, a whole lot of Over the Edge cards, and a big bunch of Illuminati cards, but I only ever played very casually, mostly to be beaten by a guy who played (poorly) in tournaments, but whipped ass on relative newbies. I was, however, smart enough never to allow him to offer a trade for any card I had. If he was interested, I knew it was good. He didn't wipe his ass without looking at the trade magazine with the price sheets in it)

I laughed out loud at some of the survey questions. They know sooo much. The follow-on questions were the best! An example:

My favorite: Do you know what THACO means?

46.35108% - Super Geek (as my old Chemistry teacher would say, "Diarrhea Decimals!")

I got extra for "named a pet after a mythological being" -- both my cats are named after gods (Luna and Malina). Bonus points to you if you know which god Malina was without googling it.
