I wrote something!

Hey all,

             I'm going to be looking at flexible warfare. Between morph, split, merge, and promotion your starting force can be completely different by the end of the game. This means we have to think more organic then before. Having the best stats and no flexibility may be worse then ok stats and total control of tempo.

            I can't see it all clearly right now but the clouds are passing away.

New Meta Rising: Scene 1 take 1.

Hey all,

             Is the blog officially back? Maybe not. I did have some thoughts that I wanted to post for you all to read and think about. The first of which is that we are seeing some complex reactions to all the new changes. The strongest reaction is to how team bases and spiral work. I think that those feelings wont go away just do to the fact that they were high priced items. The next thing that we are seeing is that the 3 man team is still the most stable format in 300pts for team building. It just seems now that all figures must be offensive in some for or fashion. The last big issue that we are seeing is the shut down of hyper abusive theme team map bonuses. This makes having a 3 or 4 figure theme team actually worth while and if you put more than that many figures on your theme team you run a risk of some sort.

That is it for now. Just wanted to give you all some content while the new episode is uploading.

Have a great day,
Edward Shelton

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.
