It’s a new year so let’s attempt a new series of something which will peter out at some point. Yay! I realised I’d done at least one bit of gaming every day this year so let’s see how long it can carry on.<\/p>\n

Wednesday 1st January 2014<\/h2>\n

I kickstarted the new year with a few games on Netrunner<\/a>, which I treated myself to when it was way to cheap on amazon. Unfortunately laziness meant missing a section of the manual and it was played wrong. Rectified soon. As it was after Christmas I also played some of X-Com<\/a>, a gift from Dek as well as some Magic 2014.<\/p>\n

\"X-Com\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thursday 2nd January 2014<\/h2>\n

After spotting the issues we did wrong, blasted a few more games of Netrunner. It was quite enjoyable, but I don’t know enough about it to make proper decks or decide which of the squillions of add-ons to buy.<\/p>\n

Friday 3rd January 2014<\/h2>\n

Played a fair bit of Magic: the Gathering<\/a>. It was Friday I noticed the bug in the online score system, which I reported to Wizards and then later blogged about.<\/p>\n

Saturday 4th January 2014<\/h2>\n

Saturday was a mini-nerd fest due to Graeme returning from university over Christmas. Alzo won his first ever game of Cards Against Humanity<\/a>. Another two encounters on our Descent<\/a> campaign were done and we finished off with some Zombie Fluxx<\/a>. We also got a 4 player game of Monaco<\/a> going after a different 4 player game failed to work split screen.<\/p>\n

Sunday 5th January 2014<\/h2>\n

Bit of a quiet one, threw in some games of Commander and helped CJ with some cards he needed for a disgusting Pauper Commander deck.<\/p>\n

Monday 6th January 2014<\/h2>\n

Blogged about the Magic scoring issue<\/a> and noticed the spike in traffic here, yikes! Got a call to meet in pub for Nerdery<\/q>. Played some silly magic Standard then two giant Commander games. First one I did sillyness with a borrowed Bant deck, second game I was mana screwed with a Simic deck. Stuck on 5 lands with disgusting 6+ drops. Game was won by Colin with Rise of the Dark Realms, followed by a wrath whilst controlling a Blood Artist. Earlier we had all copied a Tutor, Unexpected Results and Blasphemous Act for great hilarity.<\/p>\n

Tuesday 7th January 2014<\/h2>\n

Didn’t do any gaming before this post other than some Wallabee<\/a>. Managed to grab an item an e-friend needed from a cache though so that was fulfilling. Also got a call at night that @tpupaz<\/a> was trying to contact me investigating the bug. Woo, internets fame and stuff.<\/p>\n

What I intend to play next week:<\/h2>\n

Probably some Netrunner, might play a game of Deadzone if Mantic send the missing bits to Major Arcana. FNM for nerdy Magicness. Dunno what else I will squeeze in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
