Oh baseball, how I’ve missed you. It’s too bad the Jays couldn’t hand the Yankees the loss on their historic final opening day in Yankee Stadium, but they didn’t entirely suck. That’s something. From the Tao of Stieb (a Jays blog I’m liking a lot more now that I don’t have 800 Spring Training reports [...]
The other day I was watching TSN’s coverage of the 2007 World Series of Poker (it was the afternoon before work and my day’s writing quota had been met; don’t judge me).
At the final table was a guy named Yang(?) who was just steamrolling through these people with more experience and deeper stacks and all [...]
In our Reign game tonight I was both happy to induce some moral anguish and eager to get rid of same. It’s not fun to have your characters twisting in the wind because the players don’t like what they might do. The thing was that I was just trying to make the company’s enemies be [...]
We played Reign last night until 1:30am. I kind of felt bad for not checking the clock and saying “Hey, maybe we can wrap this up next week” but I didn’t have to get up early for work or school and things were going well. I had a really good time and we got through [...]
I’m trying a new blog editor to go with my new blog here, so yeah. If it seems weird that’s why.
Steve the cat has injured himself but he’s making me very pleased by not being a baby about it. When Dave and I were waiting for the rest of the guys to show up for [...]
I am getting back into the swing of things here. And by swing of things I mean the feeling that I’m not wasting my life on the intertubes. Let me tell you about my new regimen: No internet until I’ve written a thousand words each day. A thousand words isn’t much, [...]
I just got back from Campaign’s (Imagine Games and Hobbies) first day in their new location. The Grand Opening is Saturday and I’ll probably stop by again.
I realized walking back how weird it would have been to come back to Winnipeg without my friends. That was kind of how it felt in there [...]
Yesterday was filled with gaming. I played Eurorails with Reyn and Greg and Ben for hours, ate some pizza then played Necromunda with Reyn (testing out the Space Hulk tiles and rules mods for an upcoming slave rescue scenario), then played a mission of Space Hulk. It was something like 12 hours of [...]
Have you ever played Wushu? I’m playing in an online Star Wars Wushu game and it is quite excellent. A while back Sean had mentioned that he’d like to play an RPG, a first in many years for the DJS5. Wushu might just be the perfect game for doing this. It’s [...]
It’s possible you’ve noticed that Campaign Outfitters has closed down. I’m sort of ashamed for only noticing a week ago, but Pembina & Grant is further from my usual domain than it used to be. In any case, they’re reopening in the Exchange under a new name, Imagine Games and Hobbies in February. [...]
