Personally, I've been thinking it would be cool to use both of the analog sticks on the ps2 controller for player movement. For example, having different angles could be different attacks. They could also have buttons ontop of the analog controllers.

Personally, I think that the ESRB should review games based on how they are sent out to the public. If someone modifies something, it's not their fault. One thing though, is perhaps having a control system so that people know the rating of the content they are getting.

So I saw James playing World of Warcraft. Even on a high-speed connection it takes a long time to download all the updates. I've gotten itno it before about how I think it could be fixed.

Anyway, the games pretty pleasing to the eye. You can jump in it which I am told is different from final fantasy 11. One thing is it reminds me of Asheron's Call in the day.

So we didn't go to a prerelease tournament, the other people thought the cards were to expensive and their was nothing they wanted. So, I went over to James's house and me and him played a few games, then me and Michael played.

Then we played a game of switch deck. Basically, we would roll to see who would roll, then roll to see who played which deck. I played Michael's water/lighting deck, while James played my mental power deck, and Michael played James's Tempo deck. A tempo deck focusing on early game battle rewards.

Anyway, one thing I've heard with the new sets is that there isn't alot for mental power, and lighting, and earth. What I think they are doing is focusing on the more powerful colors because that's what people play. Yet James had a point, in that it doesn't make the game as interesting for the people who do play those colors.

One problem with mmorpg's is it even on a high-speed connection it takes alot of time to download the updates. One option would be distribute the game, on-demand. Or in other words instead of getting the dvd in the store, get it from the people who are selling it directly with the updates on it. Another option is where you buy the game then can play it till certain level, they can include the updates for the package you buy. So if your not 100 level mage, then you don't get the update for the 100 level mage spells.

So I played a few games of Naruto with James. He brought over Michael's water and lighting deck and I won 2 out of three games. Then I played his fire and wind deck. I won a game and was close to winning another won. It still needs a few things before going to a tournament.

I'm planning to stick too the pre-release tournaments till with Naruto till I get enough "trading fodder" (stuff other people will want trade for). You see with the Pre-release tournament you get a starter deck, plus six booster packs. There is a good chance of getting a rare in one.

Then I might consider going to some tournaments, but I want to have some my deck in tip top shape. Another thing is I have learned that you can buy cards at Wal-mart but they aren't as value as those you can get other places, and they don't come out as fast. So.. the best thing too do is to buy cards off ebay.

To me if a card's not in my deck, I would be willing to sell it. If I can make some money, that is more money I can use to buy more cards to sell. Plus, I don't want to be a guy who holds on to everything, and it gets destroyed anyway. Who knows someday I may open my own cardgame/rpg/videogame/larp shop.

Taking back moves

One thing I wish the chess program did is load moves I've already done. For example, let's say I take back a move or two :) It would be nice for the computer to store that incase I want to go back to that. Perhaps take that into account with the ai. (Hey it would be fair for the computer since it would let me take back a move). Anyway, I like playing chess on hard. Gives my brain a workout.

So me and James played a few games of Naruto. I beat his five pronged seal deck. Then he took out his tournament deck. Then he beat me, but I one round. I almost beat his tournament deck. I'm still learning of course.

So I was watching g4tv, and they showed an Iphone that you could play World of Warcraft on. For those who don't know it's World of Warcraft is one of those internet games. It involves having a pc, but I could see having setting a server up for that purpose. Seeing that makes me want to get an Iphone. Almost. But it does open the realm of possiblities up.

A couple of things with naruto is that they only have one ninja that has the sand attribute. Thing is some cards can only be used with that character. Another thing, is they don't have any good clients, well there is one, but the rest need to be worked on. Another thing is to put together a tournament deck, you need super rares.

What I'm planning to do is go to pre-release tournaments. There I have more of an even chance of winning. Also I get a bunch of cards there, so I might get something to put in my regular deck. Instead of buying boosters, I like buying starter decks because I know kind of what I'm getting. One thing is I don't want to buy cards individually. I would rather buy a bunch of cards then I might get something else I want.

Computer Ai makes me a better chess player

I think the debate about artificial intelligence, there is something missing. One thing is that when I play these games it makes me a better chess player. One thing is I can get tutorials on playing chess. Another is that I can play more regularly. So when I do play another human, on more on my game.
