Let's Go Board!

Marn's, I've been thinking... our days of DnD is sadly falling into what might be "a thing when we have had too much time outside of social life". These days flipping through pages of rules, designing the perfect rogue/fighter/mage, or committing to memory 90% of the dungeon traps and monsters require time that is now harder to find, what with all the other things that are higher than DnD (yeah, there things higher than DnD now).

But there is still some gaming light at the end of these years of dark tunnels... the long drought is about to end.

I propose: GAMEBOARDS

Why? Because rules can be learned in a day. There is still the luck of the die roll, and there are also a variety of strategies to suit the player's gaming style. Playtime is also just under a maximum of 4 hours, enough to quench our gaming thirsts for the weekends. Gameboards are also very portable too. Plus, girls can learn the rules and play then and there--we still have enough guys who are willing to lend a hand. :)

Okay, the particular gameboard I have in mind is Descent: Journeys in the Dark, by Fantasy Flight Games. It's a 2-5 player game. One acts as a dungeon master and builds a random dungeon made of pre-cut tiles. There are a variety of character classes available for the players as well. And there are cards that grant items, special abilities, etc. Of course there are also monsters. To win, at least one of the players must find the artifact hidden inside the dungeon room.

Basically, the players still cooperate, while the DM harasses them with all sorts of traps and monsters, hehehe. The play can end in just under 4 hours. Lovely to suit those weekend afternoons with the gang.

That is why we ask you: Marns, to send us a Christmas boon! The sooner the better! The gameboard is around 50$. We can pool resources here, no probs and pay you back. And for a side note, there's also a wonderful expansion "Altar of Despair" to boot.

Pleeeassee!

Happy Bday Pax!

Omeditoo tanjoobi!

SC2

Can't wait for StarCraft2. The awesome dudes at Blizzard are without doubt pressured with all the expectations from a lot of fans. A whole lot.

Marns I challenge you!!!!!!! hehehe

eh.. marns naa ba ka original nga starcraft diha? maybe we can have some fun with online duels? From memory, I believe in Terrans now. Your zergling rush? Let 'em come!

Ayu2x Pax!

Pax flies to Japan today and he will not be back until the year 2009. That's 2 years guys.
That brings a list of
1) we will miss our mage
2) no, revise 1) as folllows: we will miss our mage who masterminded a direct assault on a tower-outpost infested with the Cult. He doesn't care that he fried the high-priest with a shrewdly placed fireball, he wants to open the tower for business (trading or something). The mage believes that the greater good of Faerun depends on towers open to the world for business and not some draco-wacko-lich-baloney or whatever.
3) basketball. according to statistics, team south (talisay-minglanillia-pardo) has more wins than team north (cebu-lahug) whenever pax plays for team north. Or was it the other way around? The future of our weekend basketball is likely to keep its current immaculate level of noob-ness both ways anyhow.
4) all things japanese. for two years, there's no question pax can handle a dizzying utopia of schoolgirls, sushi, hentai, anime, katanas, gadgets, godzilla, maybe the power rangers, trains, weirdos and the bizarre, j-pop, and a gushing oversupply of video games; all these in whatever order he feels gratifying.

Ok so that's a shortlist. Anyway Pax, gambatte yo!

D&D Tactics!!!

Aaaarggh! D&D Tactics for the PSP! D&D Tactics for the PSP!! Will this be the reason why I must have a PSP?

Building a Kingdom

I find some guilty pleasures really pleasurable. That's a boring way of saying it but at the moment, Makai Kingdom is eating most of my nights.

For the uninitiated, MK is the latest (but not so latest at this moment of writing) tactical-RPG-strategy PS2 game from NIS America along their tradition of Japanese import games the likes of which include Disgaea, La Pucelle, and Phantom Brave.

The pleasure is in the growing of the custom-made characters, getting them fitted with cool items (some of which are stolen from monsters by the party's thief), and destroying the enemy boss. It's still the basic create character-kill boss-get loot-level up formula but is structured out around the Japanese RPG taste--that is, you typically need to do a lot of level grinding. The last time I level-grinded was Tactics Ogre (Game Boy Advance) and I remember those late-night (indulgent if you ask me) sessions.

The whole game itself throws out serious themes and instead rests on cute humor against a backdrop of netherworld characters. I find it charming to squash a dungeon critter with a frying pan; yes it's true! An over-sized +74 Attack + 74 Defense frying pan! No warrior worth his double-bladed sword would wield a frying pan. But a chef will. That's right, a chef! That's crazy but cool for a character class! A master chef could whack a monster pretty damn badly just as a standard warrior can. It's all about wackiness in the whacking. Quote that.

I don't know when I'll be able to shelve the game off, but it's been a nice break from God of War I and II (really awesome games for the PS2 by the way).

Until the next mood swing, it be master chefs an der frying pans o' death.

Testing the waters

Hey guys I want to start our own internet cafe. Are you interested?

Q & A

Marns is it true there's a chance you'll be having a vacation here this July?

There is one thing we can do, and the happiest people are those who can do it to the limit of their ability. We can be completely present. We can be all here. We can...give all our attention to the opportunity before us.

How to kill an elite armoured spartan hoplite?

300 rulez, raaaaarrrr!!!

if i was livid about achilles v. hector fight, my head will probably explode about this one. it is achilles v. hector 300x over for 2 1/2 hours of freaked-out blood-up-to-the-knees visual mayhem.

it's so damn beautiful, i'm crying right now.

The Island

The plan is to stay at Gerzon's place (Boljoon) the night before and then go on a boat trip for Sumilon early morning the next day. Rent a cottage when we get to the place and have fun in the sun. The boat will ferry us back before sundown. We should be home by 8-9pm in the evening.

Basket sa ta karun Sunday and maybe we can set the whole plan right.

QT & RR

Grindhouse, baby!

Am I that good looking?

A New Fresh Look

Yeah. Warm earthy browns like travelling the road to Waterdeep.

Anyway, we have a mini-joyous occasion next month: Marn's Dimension Door's 1st year Anniversary! It's March and we are all going to mark it! :)

So how about we draw up some plans: say, out-of-town overnight beach party? Food, relaxation, and lots, i mean lots, of pictures. Incidentally, let me say I hope I'd get the hang on my *NEW* digital SLR (big grin) by that time. It's my lifetime worth of savings, and to be honest my savings often come few and far between. But I'm getting ahead of myself, I'll post about the whole thing after this.

Back to the MDD's 1st Anniv...

So what say you folks?
