Well, I am once again officially enslaved, like the endless streams of others, in the unending existence of working for a living. Took me long enough. Not that I'm happy with the location of the company and, frankly, if the salary's going to take a big hit from the commute money, I'd rather stay unemployed.
Anyway, spending my free time playing Still Life, The White Chamber (available for free download at Studio Trophis) or a heavilly-modded Baldur's Gate II again. Quite fun.
I am suddenly reminded of the old days, back when I was still playing Magic: The Gathering. I do not claim to be very good at it but I had my moments. As I recall, my last 3 decks were a Goblin Deck, a Discarder Deck (which vanished inside my house) and...a Life-Gainer deck. The Discarder was definitely the most potent of the lot, though a lot of powerful cards were not in the deck mainly because I didn't have the money (or the patience) to find them. My Life-Gainer was so-so and rarely field tested, plus it lost the power of Serra Avatar, the main damage-dealer because someone stole it from me. My Goblin deck was the worst, weakest and also, oddly, my favorite to play. Fast, didn't need a lot of mana and could mass-produce creatures like no other, save a properly built token deck. And before that, I had a green weenie deck that utilized both creature power and the little-recognized Lure-Nature's Revolt-Elven Warhounds combo. So, why so suddenly remember this game? My brother is playing it like an addict. The main difference between me when I was playing and him playing now is that the players he's facing are significantly dumber and he has the money to get the cards he wants/needs.
