Painting Minis (Cherubs)
I found a new way to pass the time when I’m not working or preparing for my diploma thesis (which sould be complete by February or so, with a hopefully not all too optimistic estimate): Painting miniatures. Actually, I did that before, around 10 years ago I had a Warhammer 40k army (Chaos Space Marines) [...]
Still Alive
I’m still alive – the reason why I’m not blogging much lately is a combination of me working more for Uni and less for the job, many new shiny board games (Last Night on Earth, most notably, but also Humans!!!, Munchkin Quest and MidEvil), Left 4 Dead having come out, seeing more friends, and in [...]
Outgrowing Video Games?
For a really long time, I’ve been totally neglecting board games, and only concentrated on computer games – starting even before the infamous World of Warcraft, that is, the Discworld MUD and Jedi Academy were my doom even before that (I can’t believe that’s only 5 years ago).

(or TI3 in short, official site) and its expansion, Shattered Empire, quite some time ago, but alas, finding a time when everybody has time to actually sit together and play a game that [...]
TI3 is Awesome
I’ll make a proper review later, just a little note here that my first proper game of Twilight Imperium 3 (proper as in “not me playing against myself”) was awesome I learned some lessons regarding what makes sense when teaching the game, found out that the things I linked in my last post on TI3 [...]
Twilight Imperium Tech by Unit
Skip the intro if you’re “just” interested in what this thing actually is And if all you’re really looking for is a tech tree, I suggest this one. Intro So I bought Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition last week nearly two weeks ago (gee…), and got to play some … well, solitaire test games with 1v1 [...]
