Confessions of a Hoarder

Anyone who has read some of my posts on this glorious website might have noticed that in a couple posts of literary genius, I mention that I’m a video game collector/hoarder. This is actually not true. In reality I should have wrote that I’m a game collector/ reformed hoarder. Yes. I can admit it now. […]

  Double Dragon (NES) What?! Another Nintendo game?! Damn right! I actually play my Nintendo quite a bit so don ‘ t be surprised when NES games frequently show up in future editions of ?Currently Playing ?. I have a love/hate relationship with Double Dragon. I love the first few levels as it ‘ s

Boros Battalion Control (Legacy)

    Here we go..another deck list by yours truly. This deck is pretty well-rounded in my opinion; it has the best of both worlds: a strong offense that combos well together, and a suffocating control-based defense. There is nothing more fun than seeing the clenched jaw of your opponent as they helplessly stare at

Lessons from the Kitchen Table Vol.2 : Noobs

  Last May I decided to stop at a game store just to browse and kill some time before I had to pick my wifey up (domesticated duty calls, my friends). The owner of the store had set up a few tables out front to promote, at the time, the release of Journey into Nyx,

Graveyard Dredge (Legacy)

Here it is..our 2nd deck list for your viewing pleasure. As the title suggests this is a black and green graveyard deck, I’ve had pretty good results with it (9-2) but once again, we will post our disclaimer: we cana’t promise you that you will win tournaments, or in general, that you will win every

    We’ve all been there: a new expansion is on the horizon, you eagerly scour the internet for the spoilers that are leaking everyday, anticipating the holiest of all Magic days: new expansion release day, and by god, you are prepared to let your wallet recklessly explode all over your local game store’s counter.

Gears of War: Judgment (360) I’ll admit that based on several negative reviews that I had read about this game, I passed on picking this title up for months. However, that changed a few weeks ago when I saw it sitting in the ol’ bargain bin at Gamestop with a nine dollar price tag. Nine

Magic-Stone: A New Format

Late last year, Shawn brought Blizzard’s new baby, Hearthstone, to my attention. After hearing him talk about it on several occasions, I was intrigued and figured I’d give it a shot. I’ll be honest. I wasn’t a huge fan. I’m still not. Sure it was fun every once in a while but it didn’t really

Mono Red Dragons (Legacy)

Here it is..our first deck list..(wipes tear..). Now as with every deck list we will post on here we can’t promise you that you will win tournaments (are there even Legacy tournaments anymore?), or in general, that you will win every game that you play. What we can promise you is that it’s a fun

  Dragon Quest IX (DS): I’m a sucker for a good JRPG so I picked this one up a couple of years ago. Being a collector/game hoarder, I didn;t actually start playing this game until about a month ago and immediately kicked myself for not doing so sooner. It’s just really, really well done and
