BSK, Borås Gaming Convention
Sheesh, it's been a while since I last updated. Excuse me while I clear the cobweb from the corners.

Well, in the beginning of november, I went to BSK, a con here in Borås. It was the first time I've actually been able to visit the whole con and not only bits and pieces of it, due to my job. I had the chance to try out lots of new games - and still ended up in the Steve Jackson Room for most of the days.

Short and simple;
* Burn in Hell - This has to be one of the greatest inventions through the ages. Well, at least of the year. You don't get tired of the cards easily, since you will not go through the entire deck in one or even two games. It's a lot more interesting with whole histories and facts on the back of the cards than "Rubber Duckie, you're the one"-type quothes. And it's fun, fun, fun to play. I 0wn3d the first couple of games, and then got royally beaten in the last one - and it was still fun. Easy to grasp, hard to master. Buy it.
* SP.A.N.C. - SpacePirates Amazon Ninja Catgirls. Basically, you play as a hot catgirl drawn by no other than Phil Foglio, and your goal is to get as much loot as possible. By using toys and special cards. Oh, pool boys counts toward the goal, and are also considered toys. You get booze, sex, brawling and scantily clad boytoys all in the same game - how could it be bad?
* Dork Tower - an old game, but one I hadn't had the chance to try before. Oh my. I think I'm a Carson.
* Was it called Brawl? - A real time fighting game, played with cards. I played a couple of rounds against a decent guy who played his cards at the same time as I did, since I was a newbie. That was kind of fun. Then he had to go, and another guy swooped in like a vulture smelling a rotting carcass. He flipped through his deck with such speed I'm amazed the ragged cards didn't catch fire, dealt me more damage than humanly possible, and asked if I wanted to play again. No thank you, sir... no, thanks to you, sir!

I played some Vampire CTG as well. Nah, not fun. I think I'm too drilled in Magic to comprehend the difference in rules. I know there are differences, and I can even start to remember some of them, but the overall wrongness just eats at my brain.

In other news, I've bought some games to my PS2. Nightmare Before Christmas; Oogies Revenge is so pretty! Soooo, sooooo pretty! The character moves just like Jack ought to. He sounds just like Jack ought to. The modified songs are okay. Generally, the design is... right. It's just right. And I'm picky when it comes to my beloved Halloween Town.
Picked up a copy of Celebrity Deathmatch as well. It was on sale, so I thought "What the hell". Then I put it in, and thought "What the HELL?" It might be fun to play at a party where you and all your friends are drunk, but as a game... no. Anna Nicole Smith's melons and Ron Jeremy's angry rooster are only funny so many times.

Now it's late, and I have to sleep. Until next time, everybody.
