Musings vol. XXVIIXIVMC65
- Figured out how to add a title field. Neat!
- Started the long and hard slog through the storage units today, and uncovered some gems along with a lot of crapola. Apparently, I have all 6 Close Combat series games now, which is rad cause I spend a lot of time playing video games these days, but at least I have them.
- I love all my old D&D stuff. My second edition PH is awesome! And it is signed by Elmore!
- I have a lot of Dragons and Dungeons. I remember buying HUGE lots of them at the Strategicon auctions for pennies. Well, not pennies, but large lots for not large cash. Sometime I will catalog all them, and put them in proper magazine boxes.
- Found some old White Dwarfs too. Some that have the Warhammer Quest stuff still in them, as well as some new campaigns and scenarios for Space Hulk 2nd ed. Coolio!
- Can't wait to listen to my new found storage box full of my old mix tapes!
- On to other topics now...
- Picked up Tide of Iron a few days ago mostly for the reason it is a 2 -4 player WWII boardgame. I never expected a fantastic wargame and what I recieved is actually fairly surprising and I think accessable to everyone that doesn't REALLY like wargaming, but likes the idea and still enjoyes boardgames. It feels like a wargame as far as some tactics and some book keeping, but plays and feel like a euro too regarding resource management and allocation as well as general feel of the game. I am currently discussing with myself converting the 10 -15mm plastic figures that are meant to be stuck into bases differently each game to customize your squads, to 1/256th scale units on magnetic bases. Stupid me.
- Also, I got ahold of some Hexens and Heretics. Those are some bad ass games, and if I can play them on my PSP, OMG!
- Watching every episode of Xfiles each night now. 2 disks into season 2. The show is catching it's stride right now, but it is still interesting to see how far TV has come in just 10 years. Not to mention after the X Files studios realized they could spend a little more on sci-fi themes shows, but at the time, XFiles still was on a budget and it shows! But it is endearing! Scully and Mulder's hair styles were so bad!
- Gonna be outta here (FINALLY) within 4 months, which is the absolute latest we should be breaking ground. Finding a place to rent with a yard, that allows cats, and is 300 miles away is teh sux. Oh yeah, so is budgeting a mortgage, a move, a new construction, and rent at the same time. Gonna be a lean year... Can't even fathom finishing going though the freakin' storage units....
- The Mighty Ducks (aka The Anaheim Ducks, officially) have won the Stanley Cup. First team in CA to do it. Makes me sad.
- That is all.
