Cards!

Posted on by


I has cards!
This isn’t all of them because the shipment was short 4 boxes of DBZ TCG base set (the boring brown boxes in the back). Have to contact them on Tuesday about those.

I’m trying to decide how to ration these out between 3 months so I have cards to open each month (good thing that September starts on Monday).
I’ve already opened 1 box of DBZ starters (not sure what to do with the other 4…) and the Hecatomb boosters. I’ll open maybe one more thing today (which will probably be the Inuyasha starters) and figure out what I want to open for September later.

Also, Hecatomb boosters have 13 cards (nice) distributed in a 9/3/1 common/uncommon/rare fashion (not so nice). I fully expect to have 14 copies of some of the commons by the time I’m through this box of 24 boosters… and I also expect to be missing cards from the 72 card set. Meh.

Also also, DBZ TCG looks like it’s a lot better than the old DBZ CCG… my only concern is that it seems each character needs their own physical attack lookup table now. Each of the 6 characters that have starter decks (Goku, Vegeta, Krillin, Piccolo, Raditz, Nappa) comes with a table, but what happens when I have other characters from boosters (Gohan, Trunks, Bulma)? Maybe they’re just not allowed to use attacks with AT damage values?

Also yay 3 day weekend!
Is anyone down in Mountain View planning something?

Edit: So both issues seem to have been accounted for. Hecatomb (at least my box) had one copy of each of the 24 rares in the 24 booster packs, so I got a complete set in one box. Also, all of the DBZ TCG physical attack lookup tables are the same (don’t know why I didn’t notice this before) so any physical attack table can be used for any character.

So yeah, I’m excited about some of these games. Someone should play with me at some point :D

Sarah Palin, huh?
…
Well crap.

I remember back when Greg and I were talking about potential Republican VP picks, and I came across her name as one of the potential picks.
I remember actually liking her, and wishing she was running for president instead of McCain.
Now that she’s the VP… I’m really not sure how I feel about this… and that scares me, since I most definitely don’t want McCain to win, but I generally consider myself a Republican-hater (I’m all for fiscal conservativism and social moderateness, but modern Republicans are neither) and I don’t hate her.

Meh.

Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin

This’ll be interesting.

Reading old journal entries is fun. It’s always interesting to see how your writing style changes, how your interests change… also who leaves comments and how the people who follow your journal change.

Highlights include the entire high school PPA school board fighting, college applications, musings about work and being a waiter, rants about Arizona drivers, notes about general PPA TCG development and creation, thoughts about college, and complaints about homework. Awesome.
Rebalancing PPA TCG! :D

Also, leaving people behind after you graduate and hearing about them/visiting them (high school, and now college) always sucks. Bleh.
At least I’m feeling the same way now as I did when I finished high school a year early.

Of course, perhaps 12:30 wasn’t the best time to start reading old entries. 2 AM, work tomorrow… I should probably sleep now.

Edit: Okay, 2:30, definetly sleep tiems now.

Blllluuuueeeeee!. I need to start dying my hair again.

Edit edit: List of card games I’ve made, current at the time. To that add Zeke’s Nose, the DDR TCG, the STD TCG, the Cluster Card Game, the Combined TCG, RPG Get!, and Student Wars v2, the latter two of which are still in progress.
