Fresh Express so thoughtfully included some extra protein in my lunch salad today. What a nice feature…
>_<
I dunno, I was impressed that its wings were all present and fully intact, especially given how much I had mixed the salad up (and, unfortunately, eaten).
A friend referred me to a site where you can print a deck of customized cards for $5. They’re meant to be a deck of standard playing cards (54 cards), but you can fully customize both sides, which means I could potentially print Student Wars decks or Cluster card game cards or such.
I’m tempted to make new, nicer Cluster TCG cards and print a nice deck of them to play with. 108 should be enough… 98 unique for the deck and the 10 Objective cards, even though the website currently suggests 3 copies of each of the 67 deck cards (this seems excessive though… and 152 deck cards also seems high).
I guess I could also print one nice copy of each of the cards in the first two Student Wars v2 sets, but I feel weird spending $50 on something that’s just going to sit around in a binder. I would rather print two 54-card decks (or maybe four, one for each of the game’s primary affiliations), but that turns the game into a fixed-card game which seems to go against the entire point of making it a CCG.
Any thoughts/opinions/suggestions?
Edit: How’s this for a card back?
Tim made the comment that it’s really subdued, but that’s kinda the point since the card fronts are OMG COLOR.
We went to Big Basin today and it was a lot of fun.
jgrafton drove (lots and lots of twisty roads, many without lanes) and we (Brian, brewer) hiked an easy trail and took photos. Then we went for tasty burgers for dinner.
I’ll post photos at some point.
Threw in a last minute fix on Friday (logging, to help debug an issue) that it turns out I had forgotten to check for null in one case. Result: shittons of NPEs in the log files, which really, really wasn’t pretty. The only thing that saved me was that someone had had the awesome foresight to wrap the piece of vital code that I was logging in try{}catch(Exception e){}. This meant that, instead of killing the entire request, it only logged an error message and continued on happily. Still not good, but not completely fatal either. Meh.
Fun fun fun fun.
Oh dear god what is it kill it with fire
Edit: If you’re interested, there’s more terribleness here.
I seem to have been growing chronically lazy lately. I don’t do much in the evenings after work anymore except browse the same few websites, eat dinner, and sleep. I don’t really do anything on weekends except go to Safeway and vegetate in the bookstore in front of the SciFi or Humor sections and maybe, if people are up for it, play board games.
I have three card games that I really should be working on: Student Wars v2, RPG Get! TCG, and the Supernatural CCG (the latter of which is more difficult since my season 1 disks are back in Arizona).
I have a main AlanvDotOrg rewrite nearly finished, missing only the code to allow comments. However, it’s been in that state for approximately 6 months.
The online Student Wars Java client project has stalled due to lack of interest.
CMU Adventures additions or rebalancing have yet to happen.
I’m not really even interested in playing PSO anymore (although, to a certain extent, that has been replaced by KoL).
Meh.
Photos from Thanksgiving are up at photos 2.
Also, yay cards.
As promised, here is what $50 of DBZ boosters looks like (120 base set, 72 expansion packs)
Whee.
If you add in the 5 starter boxes (4 of which remain unopened), I probably have enough DBZ duplicates (defined, for me, as a copy beyond the third of a given card, as uniqueness rules for most games are either 3 or 4 copies per deck) to literally wallpaper my room. If you add in the various duplicates from Star Trek, X-Files, Gundam War, and .hack TCGs (all of which are, unfortunately, back in Arizona), I can probably also do the bathroom, the ceiling, and the living room (especially with the Star Trek… I have way too many Star Trek cards).
That would be rather amusing…
