The Daily Grind?
Apr. 6th, 2016 08:11 pmIf I could stay awake 24 hours a day, I could grind on Gundam: Duel Company 40 times a day, and so earn the Gold for a FAZZ (Full-Armor Double Zeta Gundam) in 10 days. And then two weeks later, have the Gold for an Ex-S (Extreme Superior Gundam).
Why do I feel I'm already DONE with this game?
FreeWill Is Digging For Filthy Lucre
Jan. 13th, 2016 08:01 pmDo you want more money, Sagittarius? Are there treasures you wish you could have, but you can't afford them? Do any exciting experiences and life-enhancing adventures remain off-limits because of limited resources? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, now would be an excellent time to formulate plans and take action to gather increased wealth. I don't guarantee total success if you do, but I promise that your chance to make progress will be higher than usual. Cosmic tendencies are leaning in the direction of you getting richer quicker, and if you collaborate with those tendencies, financial magic could materialize.
Oddly enough I'm not playing Powerball. Not because of any moral issue, just that I'm even more broke than usual and can think of many better ways of spending mad money if I had it.

Dec. 24th, 2015 10:47 pmTanks But No Tanks?
Dec. 20th, 2015 01:43 pmOn Saturday I played the demo version of the new Team Yankee permutation of Flames of War and again I want to build an army in the worst way.
Years ago I could have gotten diecast tanks in the right size/scale for the game, but now they seem to be scarce, which means I'll probably troll every thrift store I can find in five or six counties for the things, if there are any to be found. Most of the ones I'd seek would have been made by Motormax or Polyfect, specifically the Cold War designs. (I'd bought the Motormax Sherman, Churchill and T34-85 for the WW2 version of Flames of War, but I since have gotten rid of those.)
FreeWill Pulls The One-Armed Bandit
Dec. 8th, 2015 10:29 amMy old friend Jeff started working at a gambling casino in Atlantic City. "You've gone over to the dark side!" I kidded. He acknowledged that 90 percent of the casino's visitors lose money gambling. On the bright side, he said, 95 percent of them leave happy. I don't encourage you to do this kind of gambling in the near future, Sagittarius. It's true that you will be riding a lucky streak. But smarter, surer risks will be a better way to channel your good fortune. So here's the bottom line: In whatever way you choose to bet or speculate, don't let your lively spirits trick you into relying on pure impulsiveness. Do the research. Perform your due diligence. It's not enough just to be entertained. The goal is to both have fun and be successful.
Last night I dreamt that there had been a rumor going round that I lost a hand--and people responded by sending me hands in the hopes that one of them could be transplanted on my arm. Perhaps my view is that while the goodness of people persists, they are being undermined by a lack of truth in the right places.
Duel Company
Sep. 28th, 2014 12:13 am1) I need to somehow tell my Troop to refrain from attacking Sinanjus, Kshatriyas, or any M.S. units piloted by Frontal (man, I hate that name) or Marida Cruz. They are impossible to kill.
2) Build Strike Gundams are impossible to fight. In my latest battle, one took out two of my M.S. units SIMULTANEOUSLY. I guess I should be glad they haven't released a Reiji Pilot card yet.
3) I lose more fights from my M.S. targeting fresh enemy when there are damaged enemy in play that could be finished off.

Randomnity, Again
Mar. 6th, 2014 11:00 pm*) Zvezda in Russia promises that there will be new kits in their Art of Tactic series that will be scale compatible with Wings of Glory WW2...and I'm particularly interested in the Bristol Blenheim bombers. Well, with the politics between Stateside and Moscow being what they are, I shouldn't expect to get these very quickly.
*) REIGN on CW is a mess. It's supposed to be historical but their visual RNA for scenery, props, costuming and casting is jarringly off-the-mark. Or, at least, I THINK it's supposed to be historical.
Skies Of A Different Color
Dec. 6th, 2013 01:09 pmNo wonder this never actually caught on. It was expensive at launch, and for a collectable game, needlessly complex and lacking in avenues for creativity.
FreeWill Taps A Land Card
Sep. 17th, 2013 07:41 pmIn the indigenous culture of Hawaii, "mana" refers to a spiritual power that may abide in people, objects, and natural locations. You can acquire more of it by acting with integrity and excellence, but you might lose some of it if your actions are careless or unfocused. For instance, a healer who does a mediocre job of curing her patients could lose the mana that made her a healer in the first place. I believe that similar principles hold true for non-Hawaiians. All of us have an ever-shifting relationship with the primal life force. What's the current state of your own personal supply, Sagittarius? It's time to make sure you're taking full advantage of the mana you have been blessed with. Your motto: "Use it or lose it."
So we're playing M:TG now? My deck is obsolete but I can't justify going to Wal*Mart to buy foil packs.
It's a shame the game is so adversarial. Why aren't there avenues for cooperative play?
Robotech Rises Again...On The Game Table
Apr. 18th, 2013 03:24 pmThey've already made their first pledge goal and they're halfway to their first Stretch goal as I write this.
The miniatures will be roughly the same size as the old Battletech Unseen so could be collected by Battletech fans too.

Useless Gamer Facts
Apr. 4th, 2013 05:40 pmThe game Dropzone Commander has downloadable modern city building paper models in their scale of 1/150. So if I want a batch of buildings in Battletech scale I could print them out one-fourth their intended size...and pack SIXTEEN of them onto one sheet!
Ace In The Hole
Mar. 20th, 2013 03:53 pmNominally, I'd be all over it. Nowadays, with nobody to play against, it's hard to care all that much.
I'll need to get together with my siblings, my niece and my nephew about further redistribution of stupf. The problem with such family get-togethers is of course some people exercize too much EQ and do too good a job of entertaining for much to get done.

My brother is now a Blackjack dealer at the Harrah's casino in Cherokee, North Carolina. They had no shortage of applicants but how he told me he must have been one of the best ones. I wish him all sorts of success.

Yesterday I wasted a lot of time watching the movie THE SCARLET AND THE BLACK on TH¡S network. It was about a young man who is the illegitimate son of one of Napoleon's generals, and his travels in French high society as the post-Waterloo Reformation begins to implode. And the ghost of Napoleon himself hovers around, giving advice that eventually gets him killed. (I'm spoiling this because it is far too long a movie and so slowly paced you're better off finding the Russian version of WAR & PEACE.)
If you had a famous ghost giving you advice, would you always obey it? Or would you tell him to go to blazes and try to break the cycles?
