Woah zero Magic this week. I watched some of the Worlds coverage. It was nice. I’m glad that guy won and what a great team from that country, too!
I did join Tinder and rearrange my studio. I bought a 60″ tv and had to rearrange my apartment so I didn’t sit so close to it. I’ve played Destiny for ~100 hours. So far I’ve got one Tinder match and I think it’s an accidental “like”. Oops.
While Alex Owen was helping me clean my studio (for a fair wage of $20/hour), I found this Ulcerate “alter” and was reminded of how awesome it is.
It caught a bunch of stars and space while I was making a space painting. The card already looks beautiful, all water colory and gnarly. Like Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
Alex found my Spellskite proxy from the time I was building Splinter Twin but playing Bogle. I hated Spellskite but eventually caved, playing Twin, and loving it.
Anyway, that’s all I’ve got this week. See you at GP Baltimore. Hit me up @die_obliterator on the twits if you wanna meet up and high-five.
Very best,
Matt
