As per the norm at GenCon, Magic the Gathering seemed to be the dominate card game, although not by much. It seems that they now have half of the tournament hall, while Upper Deck had the other half. It’s kind of a weird setup, because Wizard no longer runs the Magic event, instead a company called Past Time Games runs all the magic events at GenCon. Been that way for a few years now I’ve noticed.

To start off, I said last week that after GenCon I would be announcing something special depending on how GenCon went. Well, I believe it was a success, so here it is. For those of you in the Terre Haute, IN area, I have been looking into opening my own store. What does the store do you ask? Simple, it will provide a nice, friendly environment for people to come play Collectable Card Games (Such as Magic The Gathering, World of Warcraft, Yugi-oh), Miniatures (Like Warhammer 40k, Lord of the Rings, and Malifaux), and even have some places for you to gather with friends to role play (Dungeons & Dragons, White Wolf, Vampire).

There was much to view, much to do, and much, much more memories to be remembered. I’m still a fairly worn out from the whole endeavor, but it was totally worth it.

Many of my friends have said I’ve gone to the darkside, that I’ve lost my ways as the computer person they all knew and loved. Some have cursed my name upon their tongues, while others simply resort to throwing rocks at me.

I anxiously away just six more days so I can head up to Indianapolis, IN for GenCon 08. Where I can feel at home. In my environment, with my people! Being surrounded by collectable card game players, larpers, role players, artist, and fellow writers. There will be a lot of mingling done this year as I want to try to learn all the games they have to teach, plus my friends and I always have a competition to see who can get the most free T-Shirts.

So it’s finally time, E3 is upon us and just about every gamer/nerd/fanboy out there is waiting to see what is announced.  I know I personally am anxiosly awaiting some Little Big Planet news. Hopefully maybe some beta information!

A few of the writers here intend to bring updates on information from E3 throughout the week. So keep an eye out on things you’re looking forward to.
