Bah Humbug!

Before I start anything.

Bah Humbug!

OK, now that the holidays are over. No, more crazy shopping, running around trying to find a couple of presents. No more, until next year. But, next year we tell ourselves, we’ll do all of our holiday shopping in July. And, you know that, that never works. It might with some people, but not for me. I leave everything till last minute, and then I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off.

But, enough about that.

The year is almost over, and that means that we’ll be getting our final release on the 31st of December. MetaZoo Cryptid Nation 2nd printing. Theme Decks, and Spellbooks, and Boxes. Oh My! Let’s Find the Mothman.

We’re going to be getting ready for our 2nd Release Event.

We have a couple of Events coming up for all you FFTCG players out there. One for the Custom Starter Set, and at least one for Emissaries of Light. February and March. I’ll have more info on each of them soon enough, but we know that they will be late night events once again.

I think these late night events are good, even though there’s not that big of a turn out, there are plenty of people that can’t make the afternoon events due to their work schedule. Me being one of them. I was never able to make it to many events just for the fact that I usually work all day. And by the time I get off of work, your local game store is usually closed.

War of the Visions you ask?

Well, I haven’t really played. Same old since last time.

Got To Be, the Very Best

I started playing Pokemon Online, mainly because I work all day and there are no places open late at night to find someone to play FFTCG with. That and It’s very simple to pick up, with the tutorial and the Trainer Challenges, there’s something to do. Even when you work all day.

Mostly I’ll just start a match and go about my business and when I’m close to the laptop, I’ll take a look, survey what’s going on and make my moves, before I set off again to do what I need to do.

Turns out it’s a very interesting game.

Behind the Pikachus, are the game’s mechanics which upon closer observation, I enjoyed. The game sucked me in and I have been playing for about a month now. I have all these old codes that shall get me a whole bunch of packs with them. Now, I believe this is something that FFTCG should do. I know I would be playing. But, that’s for another post.

The Trainer Challenges are a great way for anyone to make their way into this game. It allows you to figure out how a deck works, and you don’t have to worry about facing an actual person, as I tend to shy away from online play. Hoping to learn exactly what I am doing before jumping in.

The computer opponents are pretty easy to beat, giving you a little bit of a challenge. But, once you figure it out, it becomes fairly simple.

I haven’t tried building a deck yet, mostly because I have no Mimikyu cards. I’ll eventually get to trying out the deck builder. Once I get all these packs and have enough good cards to get a decent deck going. If anyone wants to play, kardboardkorner is my display name.
