inconsequential ruminations

It was my (33rd) birthday on the 12th and my wonderful sister preordered me the War of the Ring. I have heard too many glowing reports from Andy Daglish to resist. His play testing has even made him enough of a zealot to (rather harshly) flame Chris Farrell about it.

Unfortunately my copy is sitting in a warehouse until the official international release date. I hate this sort of nonsense. Do Nexus really think they will sell more games by using this approach?

If you are obsessed enough about games to read this blog (you must be desperate), you really should subscribe to the Boulder Games Newsletter. It has succinct descriptions of all the new games, including lots of interesting, obscure ones. The pictures of the games are truly the best in the business, much better than the usual rubbish uploaded to the Geek.
