A brief moment of honesty

Hey all,
            

             Sorry for no blog posts. The main reason I haven't written anything is that I've got nothing really to say about the game right now as it stands. The game is a bit stagnant. I'm not one just to ramble about nothing continuously. I eventually stop. Haha. I've gotten entranced by Might and Magic: Duel of Champions and it really has me thinking and having fun. I'm still in my first week of it and I'm giddy.

          I am a person who loves games as mental exercises and outlet for a myriad of emotions including a desire to stand victorious. I hate to say that is one of my emotional needs. I've lacked that fulfillment from Heroclix and that is why some of my blog posts have been going down hill. I don't have much coming out of my own head right now. I want that feeling of really beating my opponent due to skill not because the mechanics are broken. Yes Might and Magic has some OP cards that make me cry at night. But at least it is not a whole deck from start to finish.

          So the blog will be on a break for a while. I may write more next week. I don't want to turn this into a I hate heroclix and I love "x" game. Because I don't hate heroclix. But I'm frustrated.

Sorry for the blackout.

Old eps and New eps: The trals of Darklogos

Hey,

       Hope everything is going well you. I've recorded Friday's episode. Just need to do some post production after I finish watching Majestic Prince.

        I had a viewer point out that some of my old videos on youtube do not play correctly if at all. If you find such video let me know so I can delete it. Pretty much every ep up to 24 can be found on Itunes.

      I'm going to be on Dial H for Heroclix on Saturday so check them out. It is a more adult podcast so if you have small kids you may want to listen to it first before you share the cast with your children. Darklogos loves the kids!

      Anyway I'm getting somethings cleaned up in my recording area. It is amazing to see all the stuff I need to organize. At the same time I have no place to put a good chunk of it. First world problems.

Show, delays, and car parts

Hey,

         I'm sorry for the late show post. I was hesitating about putting the show up. Wizkids admitted that there are some figures to watch. That made me question if I should put up what I recorded.

        I'm still going through emails trying to figure out the next show.

        I got to pick up some car parts today.

       I'm stuck in potential optimism mode right now.

The tiping point

Hey,

       I hope you all have seen this. When I saw it I thought maybe just maybe there will be a chance for the game to get back on track. Then I read it again and I got the vibe that nothing major will be done just minor tweaks if anything. I don't see them putting the nerf hammer down on Team Bases even though they need it. The main reason is sadly the rules being printed on the card. Also they are back to the same problem as before "Why buy super boosters?" I assume Super Boosters makes Wizkids a lot of money.

I think everything on that list needs to be looked at. I think that Brother Voodoo needs a minor nerf. I don't want him to have it but he needs something so he can't mind control for free each turn. Maybe on the same turn he took an action. That way it is worth something. Oh well.

Give me your thoughts below.

Mistakes were made...

Hey all,

            I thought for some reason Wednsday was Tuesday. So yeah. Sorry for the late post. I'm stuck trying to think of what to play for this Friday's tournament. It is a 600pt game with no team bases, resource dials, or feats. All carded figures allowed. The darkness of Spiral looms over my head. I want some creative options though. If only loaded dice and super senses dependence was legal.

Oh well.

The Batman TV show stuff looks fun. I wish more stuff was like that.

Hmmm I wonder if I should go Gotham on Friday? We will see.

Show ideas...

Hey,

        I'm out and about. I've been trying to thinl about content and where to take the meta. I've come up with very little just due to the alpha strike nature of things. At the same time the idea of turtling harder seems to be a fools errand. The prolblem is that the amount of turtling you need to be effective takes away your offense so much that one kill can not be guarnteed.

I'm starting to think Spiral may be balanced at 300. The only reason I say that is the number of complaints about her went down.
