What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland

I used to claim that I didn't watch that much television but it's clearly not true. It was true for a couple of years when I first moved to New York, but I was coming off of like nine hours per day the year I was in law school (I watched an awful lot of The X-Files with my mom). Now I have the television or the equivalent on quite a ( Read more... )

Morgan and Thomas Edison, along with their lackeys Andrew Carnegie and Guglielmo Marconi. Fraction draws on real life historical ( Read more... )

Steve says "I don't play Limited." I didn't really think about it, but...

My last two Limited tournaments were the Ravnica Release tournament (10/08/05), where I lost in the finals, and previous to that, I hadn't played in a sanctioned Limited tournament in 364 days... I made Top 8 in a Champions of Kamigawa PTQ on 10/09/05... and apparently haven ( Read more... )
