Can’t Sleep (Verdant Gleancrawler Force)

I was planning on writing some nonsense about sarsaparilla yesterday afternoon, but it got bumped out of my schedule. Turns out, aside from the other stuff I’ll mention, it kept nagging me. So now, I’ll mention it: I tried a bottle of some healthy version of sarsaparillas (root beer) from a health store [...]

Comments on the Blue Moon (expandable card game) Rules

I already mentioned the expandable card game “Blue Moon” in a previous post. Now that I’ve read the game rules, I can comment a bit more about the game.

FYI, the rules and complete card list can be found at the official homepage (downloadable rules can be found in the US distributor game page). [...]

Magic: The Gathering Online III Initial Screen Shots and Updates

I think a lot of Magic: The Gathering Online (MtGO) players have been waiting for this update. Unfortunately, form the looks of the blog entry linked by the article, they still have quite a few issues to fix. That’s fine with me, better to make sure you deploy a good working version than [...]

Blue Moon (expandable card game)

Given my current interest in card games, I’ve been trying to find a good card game that isn’t a CCG (collectible card game) like Magic: The Gathering or World of Warcraft TCG. What interests me most about both games, aside from the game mechanics, is the deck-building part of the game. Deckbuilding is [...]

Redding, Digging, and a Triplejack Comeback

The past few days I’ve been reading around about Digg and Reddit. I’ve been considering promoting this blog to something more than a personal journal, so I’ve been looking around at what I could do. Well, it would seem that I’d have to do quite a lot if I want this to [...]

MtGO: The First Five Days

When you start dreaming of adding counters to your thallids to create saprolings, thereby triggering the pumps in your Herd-Gnarrs, it might mean that you’re hooked. It might. Or perhaps you’re really just into thallids right now, like you were into Pokemon some years ago. Either way, I can’t sleep. It’s [...]

Checking Out "Magic: The Gathering Online"

I already mentioned in a previous post that Magic: The Gathering is widely regarded as a well designed game. I’ve tried it before, but an average Philippine student’s allowance just can’t properly keep up with the game’s costs. Now, however, I can afford to get myself into it a bit. Tournament level… I don’t have [...]

Can’t Sleep (Magic and Warcraft)

Lately, my mind has been occupied by game design. Not necessarily video games (but included, of course), just game design in general. Last week, my thoughts were mainly occupied by Magic: The Gathering (MTG) and World of Warcraft: The Card Game (WoW TCG).

MTG has been around for a long time now and is [...]

Jack’s the Man of the Day

Before I retire for the night (morning?), I just want to mention that today was a Jack day. I lost a lot at Triplejack.com today due to a lot of weak plays. I lost a lot, and I lost bad. After (or while) doing some website related research, I basically worked on getting [...]

Triplejack Poker Day

My SO is out with some friends today, so I’m spendin’ most of this Saturday by myself. I just finished Prophecies yesterday, I think, so I’m in the mood for something else. Yes, I know that this weekend is the Dragon Festival at Shing Jea Monestary, and I did drop by for the festivities for [...]
