.oh you didn't know that i'm a nerd? well i am.
Wizards finally replied to one of my 'Ask Wizards' that I sent in. Oh wonderful day!!! It may not seem like a big deal to YOU, but you don't know how many times I've used that 'Ask Wizards' field without a response. They never respond to my questions about the TV show Rosanne, or the time that I asked them if they give Graham (Velvety) an advance view of their janky combo decks. I must have hit a nerve when I asked them about the 'click here for a free xbox360 link' on their site. And in the great tradition of Andy Dufraine of Shawshank, this has only increased my letter writing desire.

In the ferret's article is an advert that says 'click here for a free
xbox360', and it plays an annoying electrical buzz. Is it possible to
turn off the noise without muting my computer? I can't read articles
with that buzzing sound.
Also, perhaps I am a fool, as I haven't clicked the link to claim my
free xbox 360. Have you guys got your xbox360's? If so, what's your
favourite xbox game?

David,
We report ads that make noise or expand on rollover. When you see ads
like that, if possible, please take a screen cap, note the target URL,
and email them to me. That's the fastest and best way to get them off
the site.
Thanks!

I swear an oath upon the hammer of bogarden that I will be your avatar of hope against the greed of your marketing department.
PS: Have you played Oblivion? I'm the Hero of Kvatch.

Haha, too many references in this post, it makes my head 'splode.
P.S. I'm going to beat your ass this weekend with a janky combo deck.
