For some time now, I have been thinking about the “I also had all these”-sentiment or phrase or whatever it should be called. If you have been playing Magic, you have almost certainly met it. Maybe not with the exact words, but some iteration of it. “I also had all these” happen when a player, […]
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Something about other belief systems. I don’t know. I hope you have had some days off during the holiday season to spend time like you wished without major projects, minor kids or just too much responsibility all in all. Another one is in the books! As we are getting ready […]
A couple of years ago, I wrote an article about rivaling nerderies in the form of LEGO. Back then, I had spent some of the always scarcely available funny-money on a big LEGO set – a great one at that. I have no regrets. I was close to also buying the giant Barad Dur set […]
Okay, I will not give this one up. I will try one more time. I think I have started writing this article four times now. I don’t know why it is particularly difficult for me to get it done, but it has been for several months now. Let’s see, if I am able to succeed […]
Back in the beginning of April I turned the drastic corner of getting to the big 4.0. It was quite dramatic and, even though not a complete surprise, a bit of shock too. I really think it is quite a big number. The next round one is 50! But already at 40, you are definitely […]
Okay, for those who are in the know, you will already be aware that this is not an article about Old School Magic. It, actually, really isn’t. It is about my vintage cube, what I have observed playing it sometimes now, and what conclusions I think could be made from it. Mostly it is about […]
I was asked by the organizers of the Eels Castle Cup if I wanted to write something for a little “newspaper” they were going to release in connection with their tournament. Such an honour! The task was broadly defined as “a tournament report, some deck tech or whatever you could think of.” Such recklessness! Giving […]
Another one in the books. Another trip around the big Fireball. A year has passed, and it is time to look back and forth and all around and figure out what we did and what to do. Quite a steep hill on this the first day of January. I usually write these things before the […]
Another one I have been thinking about for a long time. A post about my favorite cards. Why – and how is it relevant to you, you ask? Well, because I have mentioned so many times throughout the blog that this and that card is on my top five or top ten or whatever, but […]
Okay, it goes something like this: A software developer, a greenkeeper, a club pedagogue, a computer scientist and two government officials walk into a kitchen and sit down around the table… Okay wait. Stop. That may be a bit too much straight into it. A bit of background is in order As I have mentioned […]
