I am always looking for an excuse to forget all of my social engagements/ interpersonal relationships and my excuse of choice for several years was a certain MMO made by a certain developer whose name suggests…inclement weather. I have tried many MMOs in the last couple of years looking for the next great scratch for …
At some point we have all felt the frustration of losing a game and wanting to just knock all the pieces off the board. Not all of us? Okay, well I have at least, so when I got to play Cube Quest: Clash for the Crown at PAX East this year, I knew it was …
I didn’t know all that much about Magic: The Gathering prior to meeting with Liz Lamb-Ferro, Brand Manager for MtG, other than the bits and pieces taught to me by some pals and a fella I sat next to on a cross country train trip. Yes, my grandma found an empty seat for the train fella, cutting …
