Hobbycraft Magazine, the Philippines’ Newest Hobby Mag

I went to a nearby local comic/magazine/hobby to look for some back issues of Inquest when I noticed “Hobbycraft Magazine”. It was a local publication from PSICOM, was cheap, was new (1st issue just this April), and it seemed to include stuff about Magic: The Gathering. Being on the lookout for good local [...]

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 [...]

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.

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