    age_of_empires_ii_-_the_age_of_kings_coverart.pngDuring the Middle Ages, there wasn’t a whole lot of fun and excitement to be had in the daily musings of life. The simple minded peasant farmed the land, raised the sheep, and helped where ever they were needed by their feudal master.  The feudal master controlled and instructed his people on what their tasks would be from day to day, which could have been any number of things. You, my dear Old Wizard patron, shall be that Master. You shall be the master of the Middle Ages, and of the many different civilizations that claimed the times of castles, catapults, swords, and pikes all to their own. But it’s not just instructing the peasant to build and till the farm for the good of the colony. It is much more survivalist than that. This game can only be mastered through thinking like a King that must house, feed, and protect his people.

      I thought this deck up two days ago. It plays the Tormod’s crypt then Paradigm Shifts to win.

        “The Depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how good I get, I’ll never be as a good as a wall.” -Mitch Hedberg

        If you were a gamer in the 80s, when you got tired of searching, slaying, bombing, sword fighting and alien invasions, there was always Tennis for the NES to offer a little respite. Released in 1985, Tennis was the game you played when you wanted to relax some. While the game was a huge leap forward from Pong, there still wasn’t too much excitement or action involved with this game, except for the occasional ’smash’ hit, which generated maybe an extra half heart palpitation. This game was pretty much stress and worry free. The only trouble you could really get into was hitting the ball out of the court. The pressure of being out bounds…If it doesn’t kill you, it might just make you roll your eyes, or at worst shrug your shoulders.

          The gaming giant and mass producer of mediocre games, Electronic Arts(EA), has announced its deviant intentions to buy the online gaming demi-phenom Mythic Entertainment. While many readers may have suckled on Mythic’s past holy grail, Dark Age of Camelot, the latest concern is their current brainchild, Warhammer Online. Granted they didn’t think the idea up, they have recently picked up the slack and have been developing what looks like a great mmorpg set in the warhammer universe. How the merger of EA and Mythic will affect the grandulous old world beauty we have come to expect from mythic remains to be seen. However, with the quality of games that EA has put out in the past, I fear Warhammer Online may fall into the eye of chaos(cheap pun)….

          • My Red Blue Deck Idea

            Here’s an idea for a red deck I had.  The ragin’ gobbos were on the drawing board, but I’m not certain about them. Its not a deck for speed or a highly über competitive deck. Bolts were another thing I wanted to add but I’d rather have counterspells. The gnomes are there because I like them and I need a way to gain life.  The Ornithopters to block fliers and with the artificial evolutions I can make them into gobbos. Maybe I should add another phantasmal terrain… and a tutor to search my deck.  Also I would think about 4 kings, maybe replace one Chimeric Idle with a goblin king.
