Sting
For something completely off my usual topics, I wanted to show off a recent acquisition. The wife happened upon a website company which specializes in movie-related props, The Noble Collection. Perhaps this site was more well known then I give it credit, but for us, it was something new. The wife was very interested in…

Armada Sunday
Planning on trying to play some more Star Wars Armada this Sunday, after a fairly lengthy dry spell. I like the game, just haven’t had the time, availability, or space for doing so. However, thanks to a recent spring purge in the house, one of our rooms is nicely clean and open again. Toss in…

Missed one
Its a sign that my day job has gotten busy when I start to miss my daily posting, as I did yesterday and almost did on Monday. I have been making a solid effort to post daily, even if it is trivial or minor, and for the most part have done pretty well. But long…

Instead, we opted to cancel the games, and instead spend time with our respective Mom’s (or in my case, my wife). As a family, we did end…

May the 4th (be with you)
Today of course marks the Star Wars-geek holiday of May 4th, with the subtle pun on the well known Star Wars phrase. Being a die-hard Star Wars fan since a young age, I do enjoy all things Star Wars. However, I have over the last year or two rapidly developed a bit of ambivalence to…

Gaming group hangout
Mentioned previously that I was looking into a dedicated space for our local gaming group, to avoid various other challenges including scheduling conflicts and location availability. This would also have the advantage of a storage location for my every changing collection. Unfortunately, I just don’t think that it is a practical solution, at least not…
