Catch Up

I did plan on posting more frequently to this blog, but the last couple of weeks have been hectic (by Hectic read i've been watching TV) but today i'm at work half an hour early, so I'm posting about a couple of things to catch up!

First off, sat for a week now in my new "team", and while the work is still extremely boring, it's not hard, and not as much trouble as I thought it would be, it still remains to be seen if it'll be "good" at any point though.

At the weekend I went to the Magic 2010 prerelease, where I played Black and White, and had a decent deck including 2 black removal spells, 2 serra angels and a white knight. Unfortunatly I just lost every game until the final round, where I won easily. All the loses were close, but usually to do with him having some 4/4 creatures, and me having little 2/1 and 2/2s a couple of games I lost due to them top decking the only card in their deck to win. I did get a bye (buy?) so went 2-2, but only played a total of 7 games, hardly worth £20 and the entire day.

Also, they were having the Huntik Regional Qualifiers at the shop at the same time, and with 15 people taking part, and the top 16 qualifying for the nationals, I put my name down and handed over my £5, got a promo card for taking part that I sold for £5. So Now i've qualified for the Nationals, and I might go, it seems like a simple enough game, I just need someone to teach me how to play, and to get some cards together.

Also played some "Dominion" which as a card game player, it appealed to me alot. I loved it, and couldn't get enough of playing game after game. I'm half tempted to buy it, even though we can play in the shop with whoever's copy that was, so I dunno who i'd play with with my copy...

On the Sunday went and played D&D, and my rogue performed well, doing more damage than anyone else. A slight misunderstanding of the rules on the GM's part ment I wasn't screwed as much as I should be when the Melee Ranger decided to run out of melee to let me deal with some dog thing by myself. The GM thought I had combat advantage, so I could Sneak Attack, but I didn't, so I did a good 15 damage instead of about 4.

We only cleared 3 rooms, since the group always plays slowly (smoke break, toilet break, another smoke break) but it was alright, and aparantly we've already got enough xp to be half way to level 2, so I'll need to ponder what level 2 power thing to take at some point.

So my continuing plan is to price up my WoW Cards to sell (while they're still worth something) while still pondering going to the Nationals. Learn to play Huntik, grab some cards, and think about going to the Nationals. Possibly make a Magic deck for fun, dig out Munchkin to play at the roleplay group since we're only roleplaying alternate weeks, the other weeks need filling.

I also need to get some more WoW Raiding and dailies done, but I can never be bothered.
