Been quite a while since my last post. A lot of stuff ate my time to write posts, but fortunately I was still able to look into a thing or two. One of those is the stuff at Greenhouse.
I’ve been monitoring Greenhouse the past while for updates regarding Penny Arcade’s OtRSPoD:E2 (it’s supposed to come [...]
I just read over at ICv2 that Gleemax, WotC‘s ambitious social-networking/hobby gaming site, will be shut down sometime in September. The announcement was made by Randy Buehler, WotC’s VP of Digital Games.

In order to get to a point where I actually started to appreciate the intricacies of the game (hence, have fun), Inquest Gamer Magazine had to be there to prod me along offine.

Take the Magic: The Gathering ‘What Color Are You?’ Quiz.
I’m a bit surprised I turned out to be White ‘coz I normally play using Green/Black.

Finally, Magic: The Gathering Online III is now in Open Beta! No need for a Fileplanet account for this phase! It started around 2007.07/31, but I noticed it just now.
