I've been busy!

I said I planned to be writing on my blog almost daily and I've failed rather miserably. But I have been quite busy for the last few weeks.

My friend came up to visit a few weeks back and we spent a week watching films (including all fast and furious films - the first few were the best) and playing computer games. The game of the week, for us, was World of Warships. We had to take it in turns, but we ploughed the game hard and I think the creators of World of Tanks have done another fantastic job and their business model is spot on, again. I'll write more about this in a separate post.

Not long after my friend left, my family came up to the lakes to visit. We had a great week, but in terms of gaming I didn't do much apart from a quick Dreadball game and a game of Betrayal at the House on the Hill. I had forgotten how good Dreadball was! The dice gods were very much with me, which greatly annoyed my brother, but the slick, action packed game was a lot of fun (for me at least, sorry bro). House on the Hill is always fun too. My girlfriend and I have played it with complete novice boardgamers and they've come away from the game having thoroughly enjoyed it. Once again my girlfriend became the haunter (she is freakily drawn to it, considering it's supposed to be random?! And I've never been the haunter in over 20 games!) and she almost won, only to be foiled in a do-or-die move from my brother, which banished the zombie lord back to the depths!

Next week I'll be going south to see my dad and my other brother, so there maybe more delay on some of my planned posts. But I hope to have much material to talk about once I'm home again.

We are planning some gaming for my visit south, maybe some x-wing, Dungeon Saga and/or Only War. The last one depends on me pulling my finger out and actually sorting it though, which I hate to doubt myself, but I know I usually let myself down. But I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.
