Hey! Remember me?
It’s been another one of those longer-than-expected absences. I haven’t disappeared, but with school in full swing, my work time has been more structured, and my not-work time has turned into hours of Deus-Ex and FIFA 2012. That last bit has been percolating in my head as an upcoming blog post, which I hope to have finished mid-week. Also, I am almost done with a new game review over on oldboardgamers.com, which I will link to as soon as it gets posted (again, mid week with any luck). Finally, Valerie has been in Korea recently, which put our podcast on hold for
Someone is Wrong on the Internet. Episode 4
Once more with feeling! This is the last of the blitz-like episodes. From here on in, expect a more . . . leisurely pace. In this episode we review the first episode of the second half . . . of the sixth. . . season. Hell. We review the new Doctor Who episode, “Let’s Kill Hitler.” I review a social game called “The Resistance” (link leads to my written review). And we finally finish NPR’s “Top 100 Science-Fiction and Fantasy Books” list. I’m off to the woods with my students for a few days, and when I return I expect dialogue! Don’t
A Brief review while I await the Draft
Early in my month-long meme for July, I asked readers for some questions about boardgames that I didn’t consider. It’s been a busy month in the interim, with school gearing up, writing a long review at oldboardgamers.com on A Few Acres of Snow, and Valerie and I starting our new podcast, Someone is Wrong on the Internet (You can check it out at the link, or just assume that it’s awesome and subscribe with one of the two buttons in the side-bar. Is it a shameless plug if the podcast belongs to me?) As I sit here, awaiting the start of
30 Games in 30 Days – Day 30
“What is your desert island game?” We made it! It’s the end of the month-long meme, and we have arrived at the final* question. I have to pin myself down to a game that I would keep if all others were to disappear. So a game that offers as much variety as possible would probably be best. But perhaps a newer game, one whose depths I have not yet plumbed. I must contemplate . . .
30 Games in 30 Days – Day 29
“What is the game that is your least favorite among those that you own and will keep?” Again, sorry with the lateness of today’s update. Dave’s floor is done, and I have been handsomely rewarded with sushi. Ow. My typing fingers hurt. Today’s question could be interpreted as a variation on Day 25′s, since the games I only keep around for the benefit of others by definition are one’s I don’t particularly like.
