Champiions Onlin is kinda bad (notice the misspelling incase my breaking NDA reigns down terror on our site! Now if they search it won't come up.) It's another super hero MMO using the Champions HERO system rules, lol. Cool. I THINK this was the one that was supposed to be MArvel Universe Online and then Marvel yanked the license, or maybe not. It's sorta City of Heroes-ish but much closer to WoW. But it's just another MMORPG at the end of the day and that's kind of a drag.

How's that Blood Bowl? I'm hearing good things from the thread over on SA. It sounds like the interface needs some work but it's pretty legit and if you don't know the rules (this is a more recent version of the rules compared to FUMBBL apparently) you're gonna be F-ed. But it sounds like regular 'ol BB so I'm excited. Say it ain't horrible Elruck!

EDIT: Here's a quote that gives me hope for the game:

"Is the videogame really close enough to the boardgame that the same strategies and rules and everything apply in turn-based mode?"

"It's the actual game. Period. All the rules, all the skills, all the tricks. As someone who has played Blood Bowl for close to two decades now (good god, I'm old), I can't think of a single complaint as far as rules implementation goes."

Played a bunch of this new DS game called The Dark Spire. It's very fun. It's sort of a Wizardy-clone/throwback. You can switch between "modern" graphics/music or "classic" which is rad wire-frame and 8-bit tunes. It's super hard and there's no info, you have to trial and error to figure out gear, but it's also really charming and pretty fun. Check it out if you like hard-ass old school rpgs.
