Teehee The Virtual Being a Kid and Psychedelics Thread

^^ Exactly the program! It's a 1-word name... I want to say Apprentice but I think that's not right.

Oh shit, my Hell's Caretaker deck has Survival of the Fittest also.

Damn, I want my old drug! =D :( Those days were so awesome. Just being a kid/teenager, biggest concern was school and having fun.

Speaking of which, we should have a Nerf war! :D

It was apprentice!!

the super soakers they have today are fuckin intense! Have you guys seen em?
 
Nope, not since '97... ten years ago! Then the best ones were Super Soaker XP-something-somethings 8( 8(

Awesome, Apprentice. I'm gonna find it. That program is the shit.

I found this site to download Apprentice... I haven't tried it yet though. A cursory readthrough seems to suggest that the makers of the program are no longer maintaining it and their site is down, but evidently it has a following so it's still available.

EDIT: It so is the right download. I need to go home so I can exactly copy my decks.

Good lord, they sure have added a lot of new sets. Last one I ever saw was Mercadian Masques

We really, really should. I am totally not kidding! You have no idea (or maybe you do) how much I love/loved this game. It used to my obsession. At every point in my life I've had something that I put most of my focus into. It went from video games to Magic, to an online multiplayer text-based game (incidentally, I randomly named my character in that game Xorkoth and it has stuck since). I spent at least 6 years obsessing about each one. Then it became psychedelic drugs. 8o
 
Psychedelics seems like a quite logical extension to the career of video games =D

Mines similar but it went from baseball to fishing to baseball to fishing to baseball cards to magic to fishing to drugs and now fishing and drugs!

I love MTG, My best friend has all my cards we were gonna sell em cause we had tons of rares like city of brass and all kinds of shit.

If we do, do you want to just make any deck we want or use restricted cards rules? I kinda like the idea of making any deck as long as its not like the blue lotus mox diamond impossible to beat one!
 
Yeah, I was gonna sell mine also... I have a very valuable collection, including an Ancestral Recall even. I'm glad I didn't sell mine though... they're still valuable to me aside from monetarily.

And I am just going to make my actual decks, since I already optimized them. :) So no worries, no moxes or lotus for me =D

I don't know the new Type 2 tournament rules... they're pretty restrictive to just the new sets and stuff. I say we use Type 1 rules, but cut out the ultra-powerful cards because that's just ridiculous. Although to be honest I've seen some of the new sets' abilities and they're all overpowered. The game seems to have become less about subtle strategy and more about brute force, where everyone has one of a few types of decks. I love using just the older sets because everyone makes a unique deck... there are virtually infinite possibilities for the strategy you can use.

Yes!! That game is so awesome. I was obsessed for 6 years. In fact my collection is still extremely valuable. And I'm totally down for that trade. Sucker! =D

My favorite deck is a millstone deck (well, a lot more than just those). Its point is to totally counter and/or remove anything you play that threatens me, while using howling mines and millstones and grindstones to whittle down your deck really fast so that you lose when you can't draw. I also have a combo in there of 3 cards that when they're all in play, prevent any permanent I have from being the target of spells or effects and prevent me from dying due to damage.

It's a weird deck but it always takes people by surprise because they're not used to being defeated by their library being gone. Oh man, I love MTG... I haven't played in years though.

Wow, Magic: The gathering was my drug, until I started doing drugs. 8o

A fat kid tried to steal my Leviathan in 6th grade. No way that was happenin'! He sat on it and pretended like he didn't know where it went, then when I accused him, he brushed it on the floor and was like, "Oh, there it is!"

LOL!=D

Good times ...

Nice, I have a couple of those in my Hell's Caretaker deck... sacrifice a small little guy and bring him in pissed :D

Back in the day (like 6th grade) me and my friends all thought Leviathan was the ultimate card you could get because it had the biggest power/toughness. This was before we started understanding all the large range of strategy one can employ with this badass game. =D
 
As for cards, my favorite game was "Star Trek TNG: The Collectible Card Game", it was awesome!
 
My friends and I would always have sleepovers during the weekends, and stay up all night and day from Friday to Sunday. Sometimes a little sleep, sometimes not. Those weekends were crazy! 8o In retrospect, that was probably some serious sleep deprivation! We'd end up all just shooting Nerf guns all night and laughing at pencils hitting the ground. 8) And playing Magic like evil geniuses. =D
 
(time to be a nerdy kid, don't pick on me ;) )

There's actually a lot in common with the childhood state and the psychedelic state.

Melatonin, a pineal tryptamine related to dreams and thought to be a precursor for other, perhaps more psychoactive endogenous tryptamines, peaks in childhood and rapidly declines around age 10.

Young children also predominately spend their time in the theta brainwave state which is also associated with dreams, psychedelics and other visionary states.

Unsurprising... almost all of my early childhood memories are very psychedelic. Using psychedelics has helped me to recall some raw, archetypal experiences, basically strong, overwhelming feelings, complex emotions, along with rudimentary shapes/colors. These impressions became very known to me when I began smoking cannabis, another very psychedelic time in my life. Smoking was a second childhood for me for a good 6 months, a period that started on my 17th birthday and which seems like half a lifetime in my head.

Feeling these impressions happens mostly during the fall... what a crazy life!

^ funny enough, marijuana increases melatonin levels more than anything else known (Lissoni P, Resentini M, Mauri R, et al. Effects of tetrahydrocannabinol on melatonin secretion in man. Horm Metab Res. 1986;18:77-78.), perhaps helping to explain the "second childhood" effect, I can still remember the first summer I started smoking weed (15 or 16), it was like the world became magic all over again!

Interestingly, there's also some research that marijuana can delay puberty in young men.
