*Ok, it's April 1st. My favorite online gag right now is over on google maps, maps.google.com . There's a quest to undertake.

*Great online gaming sesh this afternoon guys, thanks again. Cool to have Eric observe in his sneaky (not saying anything)/not-so-sneaky (he's right there looking at us) way. Really loved the "readers theater" intro - awesome idea and a fun way to break the ice at the start of the session. Hope there are more of those!

*Aimey and Art both started playing DrawSomething with me today :) Fun to see some more perspectives on things - I def feel like I'll have to tone down some of my crazier drarings for Aimey - Art gets the full-on suicidal versions.

*Fun iPad gaming today. Jon and I played a bunch of back and forth Hero Academy and Ascension. I don't think I'd enjoy Ascension as much playing the real game because the computer doing all the shuffling/bookkeeping is just too appealing. But if anyone DID own it, I guess I could sorta compete and keep up now. The next game that company is putting out (any day now) is the deck builder Nightfall. The iOS version looks hot, so that'll be a must-buy for me. They've also got Agricola and Summoner Wars on deck, which I'm sure will kick ass.
Hero Academy is a lot of fun as well, but the pricing model is a bit of a turn off. You can play with the "human" team for free, or it's $2 bucks for the other races (2 choices as of now). It's probably worth it to buy at least 1 other race to kill the ads. It's a fun game! The more I play it, the more I like it!

Also playing a bunch of King of Dragon Pass which is a really strange but addictive game! It's not cheap (it was on sale for $8, now back to $10), but it really feels worth it. Sort of a fantasy Choose-Your-Own-Adventure/Civilization game! It's just chock full of choices and options. Really unique experience. It was an indie PC game first, so there's other ways to experience it if you don't want the iOS version.

Been hooked on a currently free app called Finger Shot RPG. It's this flicky game where you click your guys at enemies. I dunno, it's very addictive and fun and free (for a limited time)!
