I was just laughing, out loud, a lot, at some lame troll over on Daily Kos, right? Well, what pops up as a trance breaker in one of the responses? Yep. You guessed it. The ObamaSquirrel! I guess I cannot escape my destiny, and I freaking love it.
It’s the last day of Crime Lords Month. It’s been seven months straight for this blog, non-stop documenting the verities of my existence. It’s time to take stock.
I don’t think we ever really “get there”. Even on the days we win the trophy, or preview the Squirrel Girl, or hear the final bell at the end [...]
BREAKING NEWS: Mike Watt sent me an email, with that amazing photograph. In case you don’t know Mike Watt, he is only the greatest bass player who ever lived. If you have been here a while, you have seen me blog about him before.
This was the spiel. Remember what Vs. System card we just previewed, [...]
That is another fabulous example of the hand-painted sketch cards that are inserted into the new Marvel Masterpieces packs. Those are by Chris Ortega. Six random examples that hold some fairly profound connections to our upcoming Marvel Universe expansion set. And, most importantly, they call to me as a beacon in the night.

4 Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD
Beyond that, I am open to suggestions. I have never been initiated into the League [...]

Yes, my dear Vs. System friends, that card is real. I am not imagining things. After four long years and 16 full expansion sets, she is finally here. Something squirrelly this way comes.
Her first [...]

Wondering about Worlds…
Should I play Sea Creatures, no matter what?
What if Marvel Universe brings some sort of tiny army goodness that tastes even better?
What do you think the Modern metagame will look like, knowing that we only have a very limited amount of MUN information?
That is a photograph of me getting my draft on, at the first Pro Circuit, choosing my Inmates. Someone’s life was about to change. Life? What is life?
(I love the smell of metaphor in the morning.)
