Hello and good time period. It is time for the words.
I’m on the tail end of my Easter weekend. I love me a four-day weekend. I’ll be having more of those in July (woot). It’s been fairly quiet, which isn’t a bad thing.
For some reason I’ve become fascinated with Cookie Monster videos and also these videos from Universal Studios Theme Park of people in Transformers costumes posing for pictures, like the Disney mascots from Disneyworld. The Megatron ones in particular are the most fun because he has to be mean, all the while not overly cruel or scary.
I got Call to Adventure over the weekend. I tried solo mode and it doesn’t quite work right for me. Some of the adversary cards work but others are just weird. One of them says, when you’re going to choose a quest, you have to choose another. Well, I’ve already undertaken the quest I’m on when the card gets played, so it has to be for the next one. But it makes little sense. I can obviously pick any quest and say that’s the one I wanted to do and then pick another. I know that that’s against the SPIRIT of the card which is that whichever one you most want to do, pick another. But again, it’s just weird. I’ve seen multiplayer and it looks good. I just think the solo rules are forced. It doesn’t help that the rulebook just isn’t very good. There were symbols on some of the cards that were left unexplained. They realized this and added a sentence in the pdf after the fact. Awesome (not awesome). I
That’s all for this week. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.
