Playing games that have gathered dust for too long!

We all have those games that really grabbed our attention when we first heard about them so we rushed out and bought them. Then as one gaming weekend rolls on to another we never quit seem to get those games on to the table. Suddenly, it's been a year and you still haven't even fully read the rules! So with this in mind we thought it time we tried out Android and give Super Dungeon explore another crack. But how did we get on? Is Android really a long wait for a train won't come in the fun department? Can Super Dungeon Explore really capture both the fun of a video game and the explosive fast paced action of a Dungeon crawl board game?

Watching the new Hobbit movie!

Thanks to a vey generous friend I was able to attend a preview of the new Hobbit movie today in Central London. What could be better than a free movie? How's about a free movie on a massive screen!

Getting back to the painting table (or Bureau)

Yes that's right, I've finally managed to get together the energy to get some painting done! I know wonders will never cease. But what's on my painting table? Take a look.

Alright, it's a bureau not a table but it still counts!

MTGO Sealed Practising Part 2

So I ended up submitting URW (as the eagle eyed readers might have spotted from my basic land count on the right of the pic in the previous post).
It seemed to have a decent mix of stuff early for stalling (white 2 drops, lobber crews) and meat at the top end (skywatch, chaos imps, archon, sphinx)
However it certainly didnt have a core of one guild with a splash of a third linked guild as i usually prefer. it was pure 3 colour, with little fixing, thus the mana was pretty shocking.

Playing more 40k!

Having previously suffered at the claws of the Tyraninds on the plains of G'lesent Four The Imperial Guard have mustered in force to Purge The Alien from the world. Can they succeed where others have failed?

Gun line vs Green tide, which will triumph?

Standard at the Games Club 8/11

Pat Chapin drew my attention to this particular beauty from a recent SCG standard open:

RUG Soulbond A Standard deck, by Josh Hendricks 11th place at a StarCityGames.com Standard Open tournament in St. Louis, Missouri, United States on 2012-11-04 Print this deck!
Maindeck: Artifacts 2 Gilded Lotus Creatures 2 Deadeye Navigator 3 Huntmaster of the Fells 3 Izzet Staticaster 3 Nightshade Peddler 2 Snapcaster Mage 2 Zealous Conscripts Instants 2 Dissipate 3 Forbidden Alchemy 2 Izzet Charm 2 Syncopate	Legendary Creatures 1 Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius Planeswalkers 2 Jace, Architect of Thought 1 Tamiyo, the Moon Sage Sorceries 3 Farseek 2 Mizzium Mortars 1 Pillar of Flame Basic Lands 3 Forest 1 Island 1 Mountain Lands 1 Blood Crypt 4 Hinterland Harbor 1 Kessig Wolf Run 1 Overgrown Tomb 4 Rootbound Crag 4 Steam Vents 4 Sulfur Falls

Wow. Yes, it kinda looks like a pile at a cursory glance. Nightshade Peddler? hes not even that good in limited! But how could i resist the chance to play Izzet Staticasters in the main deck? And Zealous Conscripts & Deadeye navigator?! Bliss! i had to try it.

I've not included the board as i didnt have hardly any of it. In fact i was short a few cards from the main deck, but i figured id be able to borrow those.

Read on for how it went!

MTGO Sealed Practicing PT 1

I thought id try and keep my eye in on Return to Ravnica Sealed in case i make it to any of the PTQ's this season so i entered an online daily sealed. 4 rounds of swiss with prizes distributed on your record. Opened this, which at first glance, looks really good:
