Fantastic Friday

I went to AMK today to watch the Fantastic Four with everyone else. We decided on the 9 pm show so that Brainy and Bahamut could make it. It was quite a tight schedule for me because my weekend is going to be very packed and I didn't want to wait another week to watch it (there is the VS 10k tournament on Saturday and Sunday is my graduation day).

I reached AMK at around 4 pm and was rather disappointed that no one came early. I spent some time looking at the new Raw Deal expansion, Survivor Series 3, and bought a few packs for fun. I guess I might make a simple budget deck for this game just to play with the few people whom I know

The first soul that I saw for the day was Fengokill, who arrived at 6 pm. He was on his way to CCK. It was around dinner time, so Andy asked me if I wanted to accompany him to KFC. I didn't realize that KFC has been re-opened and combined with Pizza Hut (only for home delivery, I think). I tagged along and had a quick Shrooms burger dinner.

After a while, everyone started showing up and I was not so bored anymore. We went to catch the movie on time (those who haven't paid for the tickets yet, please do~). The Fantastic Four was an okay movie. As usual, the story is very much different from the original, which is understandable. The four heroes were portrayed pretty well and the humor was nicely done, but Dr. Doom was quite a let down. Victor Von Doom is a modern-day, wealthy, money-grubbing businessman who owns a large, thriving company. And Dr. Doom wasn't a disfigured guy in a suit; he was *gasp* a metal-man! The plot was a typical superhero affair. Overall, it was pretty alright, though I think I have been spoilt by the too-cool-for-words Batman Begins.

After the movie, I went home and Uncle Chris got online. He asked me if I could shut down the FunZ Centre forum. I was a little surprised at the request. A few days back, he was telling me that he was troubled a lot by the present situation of the forum. He said that the arguments/flames were becoming very unsightly, and some morons have signed up only to promote their own stores via the private messaging system. And so, I shut it down. I was personally beginning to hate the FunZ Centre forum to the extent that I did not even want to look at it anymore. Everyone ignores the rules I have typed up (signatures were always a freakin' irritating problem) and the Yu-Gi-Oh section was filled with so many crap posts that I wished I could close every single thread. Well, it's all gone now and I am pretty much as thankful as Chris is.

Oh, well. I continued my reading of the official VS System Comprehensive Rules to prepare for the Level 2 Rules certification exam on Saturday. I hope I'll be able to pass it as it will probably be a very memorable & noteworthy accomplishment for me in any card game thus far.
