Azaka Exclusive
Because I have too much time on my hands, we now have a short-circuited exclusive!
Unexpectedly, I could not find this image elsewhere at all, except for the small product preview version (like 250 pixels wide).

I finally got around to seeing the new Star Trek film. Overall, it is enjoyable, but I couldn’t figure out why Eric Bana is so pissed off all the time. Then I realized that we’ve never really heard his side of the story, only Spock’s. Let’s try to approach this as reasonably as possible from what we know from the film.
I wanted to experiment with vectoring and decided to try what color reduction on a simple image would turn out like. Read more »
Let’s start with Mind Funeral (Figure 1-1). We (lsun and I) calculated that it had approximately the same average number of milled cards as Sanity Grinding, so I guess it was meant to be its spiritual successor for Constructed play come Winter. Sanity Grinding had an average of 10.4 cards milled, and Mind Funeral clocked in with 10.9 cards against a 22 land deck.
Update: A (terrible) mistake but… how the hell did we get 10.4 cards milled with Sanity Grinding? I ran the calculations again and it should be more like 15! Mind Funeral just doesn’t compare. Read more »

I have not made a post in almost a year now, but I promised Hikago that I would before the end of this school term. Don’t worry though, since I used my extra time to focus on the more important things in life … like watching television.
Seeing this post, I realized that listens per day might be a better metric, and went about rewriting a mIRC addon for iTunes I was using to output this data.
Unfortunately I was predicting a switch to foobar2000 or Songbird in the near future, so the addon is still in beta and is not 100% functional (although it does the bare minimum of outputting the song, artist, total listens, LPD, etc.). A more in-depth discussion after the jump. Read more »
Friend and fellow blog poster (lsun) introduced me to this hilarious DotA TDA thread in which people express their rage at the game/players in poorly drawn comics. And as readers of this blog know, I love poorly drawn comics (see Points of Contention). I also play a lot of dota.
And so, in Figure 1-1 we can see the horrific results of 10 minutes in MSPaint. (It’s after the jump, you’ve been warned…)
Another guest comic from Falcanium. “The Engineers are doing it again” indeed.
