general post

Got a hug today <3 That was nice

No internet access other than google.  Turns out not being able to pay the phone bill  gets your broadband suspended.  Blogger is part of google though, so yay.

But back to gaming, was down the shop today.  Played a game of netrunner vs fish.  Won as corp, lost to being silly against Jinteki as Runner.  Should never run as your last action against them.  Scoring finished 14-10 to Fish.  So great job there.  My win streak is over.

There was a magic draft tournament for a new set today.  I knew I would be bored, but as I said to Steve, I could of been lonely here at home, or lonely at the shop surrounded by people. That was the hug moment.

Not much else to say really.  No internet sucks.  The dark void that is my future  sucks.  A lot of stuff is sucking.

This isn't very gamey.  Er...meh.  Need to vent somewhere I guess

e gads

Why do I have these?

Why did they survive 13 years?

Questions questions questions

Games!

Netrunner. I still love netrrunner.  Didn't have my cards with me, but Chris lent me a runner deck.  He seems to love his corp.  And I won.  Was  alot of luck involved.  But could just hammer HQ with a 2 credit expenditure every turn.  Was prob not the smart move, he was getting an advancement counter from matrix analyzer every turn.  But I scored a final agenda in the end.  For a win.


Also played Eclipse.

It's a very good 4x space game.  I was strgulling with my little science empire.  Chris had a lot of ships, not great ones, but a lot of them.  I Was short materials all the game.  2 of the 4 cruisers I had were from discoveies.  Without them I would of had a poor score.  Eventually I just hammered into Gareths territory.  Which net me some 16 victoiry points. for a final win score of 31.  Second was 26 I beleive.
When I first looked at it The cubes and discs and the reviews I read made it out to be a dry 'Euro' (like Power Grid or Acquire) with annoying economy tracking that just gives me a headache.  But it really isn't.  You explore space doing research killing your neighbours, fun fun fun. 
I guess it draws inevitable comparison to Twilight Imperium.  And they are similioar in that they are both 4x.  But they really aren't similiar.  TI is more diplomatic, massive fleets may not even see combat.  In Eclipse, I think avoiding combat is a sure way to lose.  And thats a complaint.  I fought 3 battles and scored 11 combat victory points.  I could of also got 3.  The random swing seems insane

 Self confidence restored.

Clear out

Been a fun week of packing stuff.  Almost tried to kill myself with a ridiculously heavy box of books.  I believe forgeworld are mostly to blame for the weight.

Anyway got a load of stuff, way too much.  And will prob be trying to get rid of it.  Mostly geeky stuff, some miniatures - probably a bunch of codex since 40k is mostly dead to me and I'm not sure if I really want to keep it all.

Probably just going to post them on facebook, ask people to make an offer.  if they don't, it's the bin for them.

So stuff that may be of interest, make me an offer.  90% chance it will be accepted. :-

Tattered 3rd edition 40k rulebook
4th edition 40k  rulebook, also a the mini rulebook
(2) 5th edition 40k rulebooks, also the mini rulebook
6th edition mini rulebook. (may it burn in a fiery lake of death)
A variety of 3rd edition codex.
Pretty much all the codexes for 4th and 5th.  Up to and including 5th edition Tyranids.

Some space marines mini's.  Some on sprues.  I know there is a tactical squad, and a devastator box..somewhere in the sprues.  They may be missing parts however.

Metal librarian in terminator armour. Assembled, no paint. Missing his banner pole.  Also on a small base.
Metal Apothecary, undercoated white, no base.
Metal Librarian in power armour.  Half Painted. Has a plastic backpack with missing banner pole.


More news to come.  It's got to go somewhere.

When I first saw Weyland, was a bit odd.  Didn't have an obvious strength.  But they are great Corp.  Strong ICE, the threat of scorched Earth and are generally not poor for credits.
It's a bit all round.  Weyland has good ice.  So can build a well defended fort to score Agendas behind.  Speaking of Agendas.  Hostile Takover can be scored in a single turn netting you some nice credits and easy agenda to use to Rez Archer.  And Project Atlas nets the card you need when you want it.  Sure you have to reveal the card.  But it doesn't cost an action to get it so thats not really a drawback.
You also have some trace ICE to get the tag for Scorched Earth.  Data Raven is an almost must include in Weyland.  Even the hint of the threat of Scorched Earth makes the runner think twice about taking that tag.  So much so, I could probably take the SE's out and still have the same effect.
Thats basically it, you have them two win conditions which are both achievable.

Could certainly be tweaked.  I have underestimated the usefullness of PAD campaigns, should probably be in every Corp deck.  Could also strip some ICE, 23 might be a little high.  Could easily benefit from a second core box for a second troubleshooter and the third SE.
