When your apartment smells like a chain smoker

Hello,

         After a long day of work what do you do? You go to a lobbyist party serving prime rib and lobster soup stuff. Good times. Anyway today's blog post will be about the spoliers on hcrealms from the Spiderman set. We know that we are getting an Iron Spider chase. More importantly we are getting a Brother Voodoo and a Sorccer Supreme Dr Voodoo prime. I am happy. I will wait to see the dial.

       Let's focus on a question today instead of a piece. What does it mean to grow. I was listening to a sermon in which the speaker stated something profound. Most people fall apart when they reach their destination. The question is what do we do after we have reached a bench mark in gaming growth? It is a question that many people have just before they quit the game. Many people look at heroclix at some point in time and state they have done all that has been done. The other end is that people fell that growth is impossible to do. They through up enough things against the wall and found very little to stick so they don't stick around if the casual randomness of things does not tickle their fancy.

    I feel that one thing we are are seeing in the open stage now is that people would like some direction in knowing were game design and the game our going other then taking money from their wallet. I also think that people have started to look at the game and say that it is way more complicated then it is worth at times. That is why we need to look at growth as little steps down the path forward. We must never "arrive" at the top or what we view as the top. The top is an illusion we create. If one gets to the top of the mountain there are still the stars. The next step is to go down the mountain to build or find a space ship.

    Plan to make steps to see the top of many mountains. When you are done shoot for the moon.

Check you on Mars,

The bear went over the mountain the bear went over the mountain the bear went over the mountain to see what he can see, to see what he can see, and what do you think he saw....He saw another mountain, he saw another mountain, he saw another mountain so what do you think he did. The bear went over the mountain the bear went over.....and so on
