This one will of course be about games though at this time I don't really have enough to write on both so the first half will be on Magic the Gathering the card game and the second on World of Warcraft, which both i recently started playing again.
To those of you that do not know about Magic the Gathering or MTG, it's a card game like most trading card games out there like Yu-gi-oh or Pokemon. However in my opinion Magic requires quite a bit more strategy not only in playing the game but in building your decks as well. The basic rules for Magic are you have five different elements or lands that you can play off of; white/plains, black/swamp, blue/island, red/mountain, or green/forest. with these lands you can "tap" their energies and summon creatures of the respective colors typically(some require multiple types of lands). Along with being able to summon creatures you can also cast various spells to either hinder your opponent, boost yourself, or boost your creatures. Each of these cards of course have certain costs usually the higher the cost the better the card as examples black has three different cards(for this example) that kill creatures murder, doom blade, and marked for death. Marked for death has only one land for it's cost and for that reason has the most restrictions and can only kill white or green creatures, Doom blade costs two land and so still has some restrictions being that it can kill anything but black creatures, and Murder costing three lands and being the most expensive single target kill card has no restrictions. Now that I've explained that now I can spit out the short part that i'd like to say, and that is that me and my room mate have started playing again both at home and at tournaments and if any of my readers out there are interested in playing or learning how to play(assuming your a utah reader) you can contact me and we can get started if not you can share your stories or just read on.
Along with MTG I also recently started playing World of Warcraft or WOW after being strong armed by some of my coworkers into playing again. Now for about a week I was consistently refusing them because I really did not want to lose my life again to wow, but then they said "You do know that when we send you a Scroll of Resurrection you get a free level 80 right?" my response to that was simply "Huh!?, What!?". So i caved and took the scroll at this point i have not yet reactivated my account but i am enjoying the free week on my free 80. So on to the point of this paragraph, I love mages and I wish i had brought my mage to level 80 instead of my warrior but oh well my mage was 71 and my warrior was 43 so no real loss there i suppose , the reason i love mages though is because of what they did with the fire tree. Nearly no mana cost on anything and almost every spell can be instant cast by proc or is an instant cast to begin with not to mention being able to cast scorch on the move is very VERY nice. Alas i do not have much more to say because i don't just have no really been in a gaming mood these last couple weeks, could it be i don't need to game anymore!?!?! maybe but i'm fine with that because that gives me more time to contemplate and work on my future like getting into salary at my job and starting college and hopefully getting someone i can hold at night and feel complete for once until that time i will keep on posting here about things i've learned that i think you my readers should know. See you all next time until then good luck and have fun.
