Restarting...

Oy, can't say this weekend was the greatest. There are times I just wanted to shout this (or some slightly more targeted variation). However a new week dawns so I'll try and get to bed early and hope things turn out better in the end.

In other news, I picked up some Gear Krieg books whens I got Rappan Athuk: Reloaded last week and they are interesting. They kinda make me want to to do war gaming stuff. Not so much minis stuff but the tactical scenarios and such. When I was home I got out my dad's old Avalon Hill Battle for Midway and figured out the rules (really simple it turns out, at least for a college grad :D ). Dad and I even played out the simple version of the game, no surface combat allowed. I played the US because the Japanese technically have an advantage, especially cause Dad knows the American forces are afoot. I still managed to win, our carriers struck at the same time and the Enterprise survived on my side but none of the Japanese ones made it. Just like the real battle it was all over in one major airstrike, the rest was just anti-climatic.

I picked up the 3rd Season of Futurama and the complete set of Samurai 7 (anime remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, pretty good thus far). I now have all of Futurama until the new stuff comes out this year. Have to admit both of these were impulse buys to help me feel better after the lousy news on Saturday. Wish I had a better way of cheering myself up.

Hope everyone had a good Easter weekend, I know I haven't posted much granting I'm not sure many people even read this either way but I will try and post a little more often. Things have just been...busy
