As compared to US, playing MTG here is expensive if you compare dollar to dollar, i.e. factor out exchange rate. While playing PS2 is unlike here where we buy pirated disc which is cheap. Those folks in US buy originals PS2 games.
Reading is cheap, you can always find something to read about at those 2nd hand book shop/rental shop. Finish reading, return to the shop to get another one. Ok, it depends on what you read. If you read comics...then...haha sorry lar brother, it may be more expensive than MTG. I know because I was interested in Marvel, DC, Image comics once before so I'm pretty familiar with the origins of some famous supes.

Anyone wants to play old casual decks with me in Low Yat/Time Square area? Been a while since I played and I'd love to get to know some new people. I started in 4th Ed, on and off magic along the way. I usually lunch there on Fridays. So, it is just a matter of bringing some dusty decks along with me. If interested, post here/PM me with a place to meet.

Hey Jeremiah, I'll gladly help you out on MTG, if you don't mind an old uncle to discuss MTG with.  While VS, I think both of us need to learn from nbooi and his team down at Amcorp. Never too old to learn on something new. I wish I had know how to play MTG while I was 14. That time when MTG Alpha, Beta & Revised came out, I only had the chance to learn to play during school holidays and when I'm in S'pore. Back in KL during those days, you could hardly find anyone to play & develope MTG with. Nowadays so many young people play MTG. So, let me know where & when to meet in KL then we can play some MTG. I hope you've got your parents' or guardians' permission to hang out because we don't want this to ruin your hobby. BTW, I'm meeting up with bro ashburn98 this Fri evening after work to play some casual MTG down at Berjaya Time Square. Don't expect new cards though because we just wanna have fun with our rusty old decks.  Cheers!

Yo Jeremiah, you can meet us in Berjaya Time Square on Friday as metalfire said. Any time after 6pm is fine with me. Will stay until around 9pm (leaving to HK on Sat)
You can try out the decks I'll be bringing along. Let us know if you can make it.

QUOTE(JeremiahRais @ Nov 22 2005, 05:30 PM) I'm really interested in VS and Magic. I got the Spiderman VS deck and planning to buy some Magic: The Gathering Decks. I have a problem though, I'm intereted but I do not know how to play both games. And no one back in Kuching can help me. I'll be in KL 'til the 10th of next month so somebody who could teach me both games are welcomed. Btw, I'm 14 so I hope I'm not to n00b-ish for this game. Thanks.  U will be at KL until Dec 10 right ... what a great timing. Midvalley will be having its 1st GameCon-1 convention on Dec 3-4, 2005. The convention will cover all types of games from Magic, VS to AD&D RPG. I believe there will oso be a demo on Magic and VS. Come join us.

LOLZ the thrill of opening a good rare from a pack  Keep it up! Well, perhaps when I've more time on Sat evening, I'll pop by Amcorp around 7/8pm then someone can show me this VS thingy. Who knows I might get hooked up.
