Board Game Geeks: Dominion vs Ascension

28-Dec-10

Carlos’ gift guide prompted this – it was originally just a comment, but once I noticed the size, I figured it needed a post of its own…. For the Board Game Geek (see what I did there?), Ascension: Rise of the Godslayer is quickly coming to be the new Dominion.  It’s another “build your deck as […]

Gah! Last Minute Geek Christmas Shopping

For everyone else, there’s Mastercard; for you, Star Wars geek, there’s THINKGEEK. April-fools-joke-turned-licensed-product, the TAUN TAUN SLEEPING BAG is still available! Thinkgeek also has all kinds of other neat stuff. Like a working Doctor Who sonic screwdriver. That’s right. RPG Geek: If your geek doesn’t have it yet, Paizo’s Pathfinder Core Rulebook is just amazing. […]

So, a follow up to this post.  It’s been 7 months.  The kids haved changed their behaviors around, gotten older, etc.  So where are they?

Blog Hijack!

01-Dec-10

I know, I know.  I post a burst, talk about how I’m gonna do more, and disappear.  Then return to hijack. I do actually have a post coming up on the strange trip I’ve been on for the past 3-4 months.  See, my laptop (an ASUS G50vt from Best Buy) went wacky on me.  Of a […]

I am anti-geek pride

25-May-10

I know, controversial title, right? So, today is a very geeky day.  It’s Star Wars Day #2, because Star Wars was released 33 years ago today.  It got overshadowed by Empire day, but….  It’s also Towel Day, because DNA (Douglas Noel Adams, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and other books author) died two weeks ago, […]

My kids

Enrique mentioned, in his description of me, that’s he curiuos how I’ll indoctrinate my kids in to the geek world.

This shouldn’t amuse me….

While waiting for reports to run, I stumbled on the list of Travis County court dates scheduled over the last interval of time (whatever that may be). And apparently, I enjoy reading them. 

Gaming

28-Apr-10

So, thanks to D&D Encounters (which I think it a brilliant idea – short 1.5 to 2 hour bursts of gaming that anyone can join), I gamed for the first time in a couple years (which surprised me to realize). It was at a game store in Madison.  I was reminded that game store employees […]

I’ve figured it out….

I love Joss Whedon. I idolize Aaron Sorkin. I just don’t get Kevin Smith. Or, put differently: I want to hang out with Joss Whedon. I want to *be* Aaron Sorkin. Kevin Smith is the guy that shows up at the game cause he’s friends with someone else, and I can’t tell him to leave.
