Val Halls fun tournament

Well Ron scheduled a fun unlimited tournament for league today and me and Kevin have been messing around with some deck ideas. Since it was unlimited I was thinking about abusing DRE's with some of the newer cards but those decks didn't end up working so well. I made a Dialga with Weavile/Crobats and later on ended up putting a 2-1 Palkia G which worked a lot better than having Honchkrows and junk. Either way I didn't do too good lol, 1st round got donked by machamp, won 2nd round, 3rd round lost to machamp, 4th round won lol so 2-2 meh oh well. Kevin played some funny Magma's Houndoom lol. It only had 5 pokemon in it, he went 3-1 almost lost to a special guy.

Nuggets Game 3/Rockies

Well I missed the game today because I didn't know it was on so early. I was wondering why it wasn't on any of the big networks in HD. Anyway I read the report and box score on the game, apparently we played good enough and Melo missed a shot in the last couple seconds that would have given them the lead. Atleast we didn't lose by a lot since it was on the road, hopefully we can get back to solid play and win on monday, don't want to let them back in the series. Also the rockies played, they are looking pretty bad and sometimes makes you sick lol, I don't think I like that new pitcher Huston Street.....he always seems to let them score.

RR Decks

So last night I photoshopped and printed some of the Rising Rivals cards that are coming out in may. Put together some decks and they are pretty rockin. I built a Flygon deck with some other stuff in the deck and it's pretty amazing lol discarding cards like crazy while doing some pretty good damage is awesome. I also built Gallade 4 with Palkia G, it's a pretty fast spread that can stop powers and attack quick but it is a spread deck so you'd have to drag on the game for a while.

Nuggets Game 2

Nuggets won tonight by a lot again, and Billups led the way. It was a pretty fun game to watch after the 1st quarter when the nuggets started pulling away and hitting all their shots. Melo and J.R. played great as well along with Chauncey. It looks like the hornets aren't really a match for the nuggets. Well see game 3 when they play in New Orleans. Also today was a sad day, we found out Amy's grandpa has passed away earlier in the night. Her family was really close with him and he was 97. R.I.P

Nuggets Win Game 1

Last night was the 2nd night of the 2009 NBA playoffs, and the start for the Nuggets. They hosted the New Orleans Hornets for Games 1 & 2. Sunday night was game 1 and they played very good showing the rest of the NBA they are legit. Chauncey Billups or course led the way not only as the team's leader and most experienced in the playoffs, but put on a show scoring 36 points and went crazy from the 3-point line hitting 8/9 shots. He was really in the zone and hopefully he can keep that up throughout the playoffs because J.R. Smith and Melo had an off night. Can you imagine if all 3 had solid nights? Game 2 in wednesday night, GO Nuggets!

Drive Home from Utah

Well we thought it was going to be smooth sailing on the way back from Utah since most of the snow was supposedly melted but it seems other plans were in store for us. The start of the morning went as planned, left around 9:30 am then about 2 hours into the drive, Tonja called us and said their truck was messed up and asked if we could stop and help them out around 2 exits away from us. It ends up the belt wasn't on right and ace helped put it back on correctly, so we thought it was done. About 30 mins later, they called back and said the belt completely came off and we stopped at a truck stop to fix it. After about an hour of tinkering with it, we put on a new belt and took it to Auto Zone and had a guy help us out. After another 2-3 hours there it finially got done and we took off, the plan was to go to Hooters but we were so tired and it was getting late and we just wanted to get home, so we did around 9:30. What a crap trip lol.

Pokemon '09 Regionals in Utah

Me and some friends drove from Denver to Utah for the 2009 Regionals tournament on friday morning. It was hell because we woke up only to see the route we were going to take was closed due to snow. After about an hour delay we decided to take I-70 west and just go slow and hoped for the best. We almost got stuck a couple times because of people in front of us just stopped for whatever reason but we managed and after the Eisenhower tunnel, it was smooth sailing and the snow was a thing of the past. The tournament was saturday morning and the staff pulled some strings to make it a top 16 finals which was awesome. I was kinda nervous because I feel like I had to do quite well coming off the States win in New Mexico. My first match was how I wish my whole day went, I sat down and won in 2 turns, it was pretty cool finishing so easily and fast, however the rest of the day went bad. The 2nd game I played a friend and ended up misplaying a couple times which I feel cost me the game, 3rd game I played this guy no one likes and he got a god set-up to my junk set-up, 1-2. At this point I'm frustrated and mad because I need a flawless rest of the day and some help to make top cut. 4th game I play a friend Mike from frisco, he's always a nice guy but can never seem to win against me, I thought the way the day was going it was today but it wasn't 2-2. 5th game I won in 3 turns 3-2, so I need to win and hope for some help. 6th game, I play this girl running a deck I should run over easily HOWEVER, she gets a god set-up and ends up winning, 3-3 how gay. I lost like 50 points overall so that didnt help, ace, jery, and kevin all made top cut. Ace and Jery had to play each other so that sucked, then Kevin and Ace made top 8 but lost. Oh well, hopefully Nationals will go well.

New Regionals Deck

So we came up with an idea for a new deck on the way home from the springs yesterday and kinda playtested it today. Well it turns out to be pretty amazing as it has a solid matchup against pretty much every deck in the format right now. We'll have to do some more playtesting to make sure but if so, it's just a matter of getting the cards needed for all of us. Anyway I'm pretty excited because we should do well with this at regionals which is this saturday.

Opening Week/New Cards

So this week was opening week for the 2009 MLB season. It didn't seem that great for the Colorado Rockies since they lost some key players but after their first 3 games, which they are 2-1 now, they seem headed for a pretty solid season if they keep it up. Tulowitzki is on his way to a great season and Helton is healthy enough to play regularly which is great. They have to play some tough teams the rest of april so hopefully they come out of it good. The nuggets won again and look like they are going to lock in the 2nd seed in the west. Hopefully they can play good enough where we can make a decent run into the playoffs rather than losing in the first round again, hey atleast we won't have to play Kobe the first round :). I also went to wal mart and got some of the newly release Pokemon Platinum 3-packs since everyone is looking for the promo cards that come with it, I managed to pull 3 Lv. X's that I can trade or sell so thats cool. I got a couple sets of the Gliscor/Porygon Z promo's to trade off, geez Regionals is next weekend ahhhhh!
