First Real Post

I will try and use a format similar to this when I post my interests, because like all 19 year old guys, there is quite a bit... and order is key!

Interests:

  • Video Games - [PC] Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst (Schthack Private Server)
  • Video Games - [Wii/GC] Super Smash Brothers Melee
  • Video Games - [PC] MyBrute.com (http://fajen-dari.mybrute.com)
  • Card Games - [Magic: The Gathering] Deck Building, New M10 Rules, Saving $ for New Dual Lands
  • Free Time - Reading StarCityGames forums, Dreamstation.cc forums, and NintendoCapriSun "Let's Play" Youtube videos

I think that's a good start... Anyways I will try and start off my posts with something like that, and then talk about what else is going on. So let's get started...

SUNY Oswego has been out now for just about a month today and the obligatory "Go work for dad" situation is comming up again. While it's not nesessarily a bad thing, I would like to start working with kids during the summer to get a feel for that type of white-colar work. I have applied and interviewed with the CNY-Works group, a Syracuse based work help program, to find some work this summer in the area, but I'll be waiting to hear back from them at least until June 19th. I will probably go up to Rochester and help my father out with some of the painting that needs to be done (Read: Do all the painting with a tooth brush) on the barns.

Besides getting ready to go to work this summer, I have been keeping quite busy with Andria (My girlfriend of 2 years). This is her last year of High School and as I write this, this is her last day of it! I'm very proud of her and I can't wait to see how much better life is for her out of that dreaded hell hole of a gossip centre.

Gaming is for me, an integral part of being happy. While everything is good in moderation, I do enjoy to spend some of my free time playing a multitude of games. For a little over a year now I have become interested in mid-level Magic: the Gathering, that is FNM scene and casual with not much more then that. That being said I have really enjoyed messing with decks like;

Magic: the Gathering - Current Decks

  • Type 2 : Standard
  • Faeries (U/B)
  • Naya Zoo (W/R/G)
  • Esper Control (W/U/B)
  • Type 1.5 : Legacy
  • Dreadstill/Painter Servant (U/B)
  • Casual - Tribal Wizards (U)
  • Affinity
  • Elves!
  • Type 1 : Vintage
  • Painters Servant (U/B)
  • Mono Black(B... duh)

Those above are really the only ones I keep sleeved and ready for a game, although I haven't been playing as much as I would like due to the lack of free competition. All my old High School friends that played Magic, and even my nieghbor who I regarded as an excellent player, have traded in there cards for other hobbies. I do still have some friends who play but latly I just haven't been able to hang out with them.

Continuing on with gaming, PSO:BB is like a blast from the past for me. It's been so fun to replay the old Forest 1-2 and Dragon boss finally online again. While the game is great fun, the higher drop rates, and lack of duping has had a rather significant change on the original GC version that I was so used to back in 8th and 9th grade. As of late I haven't felt to much for playing it.

Melee, needs no introduction or additional comments. I just haven't been playing much due to lack of other people to play against and Wii acting up not reading disks :(

MyBrute.com... SUPRINGLY fun little flash game that I SHOULD only spend 5 minutes on, but end up spending FAR more time then I should messing around trying to level up and check on the stats of all my little characters... If you wanna help me out, click the link and fight! I get experiance for new IP's that play the game... http://fajen-dari.mybrute.com

Just incase you where wondering, Fajen Dari is an anagram of Jeff and Andria... (Minus one "f" but the idea is there :P)

Well I suppose thats it for now... have fun and keep thinking! Knowledge is POWER!

-Jeff
