Site news, for people who want to keep up to date with my comings and goings.
No, not yet, but it sure feels like it! Since Monday last week I’ve been struck down by a Cthulu sized monster of a flu. Which means I haven’t been able to work, write, or more importantly play board games during that time. It’ll be another week before I can put together the review I was working on. Apologies for the delay, but I’m taking it very easy while my body is on the mend.
Cheers for your patience,
Dave
Hey guys,
First off, I want to say thanks for checking out, and participating in my blog. It’s been up and running for 6 months now, providing near weekly reviews of some of the best and well, not so best board games on the market.
If you’ve been following recently, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve gotten a bit slack with the Friday posts. This post is to say – that’s probably going to continue. The main reason for this is just work pressure, and stress. While I love writing for this blog, it does produce additional stress given my self-imposed deadlines. Going forward the Friday post may not always be on Friday, or written at all.
However, I will still continue to write reviews! It’s what I love most about this site, and a great reason to continue to add to my already bloated board game collection.
Thanks again for reading my blog, I’ll see you on Tuesday.
Dave
It’s that time of month where I share with you my hopes, dreams and ambitions. What’s currently in my shopping list, and a bit more future forward – what Kickstarters I’m personally waiting for. Let’s get into it.
For those who’ve been following, in the last couple months I received a large promotion from worker to manager. This has come with a lot more responsibility, and has changed how I work, and how I think about work. I put a lot of time and emotional investment into my team, and their career path. However, yesterday I was handed my first resignation, and have since tried to get a handle of my emotions, which is why there was no post last night.
As someone who has been in the hobby for awhile, some might call me a board game savant, my wife would say I just like to spend money. Either way I’ve picked a few tips and tricks I thought I’d pass on. Enjoy!
Board gaming is a great hobby, and one that I enjoy immensely. However, being so involved and committed has it’s downsides. It means being bothered by things that a regular human being – not you Mark Zuckerburg – wouldn’t. Here’s my top 5.
Yes, the puns for this monthly post are running thin. However, the point remains – here’s four new board games to put on the credit card without telling your partner.
March saw most of my board game budget (and then some) go into Kickstarter. Backed titles include: Batman: Gotham City Chronicles, Werewords Deluxe, Space Park, Deadwood 1876, AuZtralia, and currently Fireball Island, and Dinosaur Island games. It seems crazy, but in my defence a couple of these I just dropped a dollar on them, and the real meaty decision to back is deferred a couple a months. This should smooth over my budget in the coming months…. I hope.
I’m taking the week off of blogging, and going to enjoy my long weekend learning to play Spirit Island and working my way through Wolfenstein 2. In the meantime if you’re trying to satiate your hunger for fresh board game content. Check out these fine ladies and gentlemen. Till next Tuesday, have a great Easter and enjoy some pictures of Chester, and my blue socks!
The more I blog, the more I sway away from the bigger board game sites. Not that they’re bad, it’s just that there are so many people out there making fantastic board gaming content, and better suited to my tastes. There are going to be a few familiar faces here, but enjoy the fruits of my internet browsing!
