You got to know when to hold 'em

So over at that new Bonus site where the Paranormals comic is, Ebonlock and various other insane people have made a strategy card game that dovetails with the comic. It's called Arcanom after... well, you'll find out after what. Winning games means you get to add cards to your deck, and I've managed to actually *not* get my ass kicked quite as badly as the first time Ebonlock demonstrated the game (34 to 0) once or twice in the far too many hours I've spent playing the game.

This is an image from the Avatar class, which (combined with Daniel) is the staple of my current deck. Luckily, I cannot play the game from work, because as it is I was up until seven this morning playing.

Oh! I almost forgot--I'm in the deck! Come and play me!

As fun as that sounds, (and I've seen the site,) I cannot get into any computer games. For the same reason I don't play WoWC or other online games. I have too much work to do, and playing a video game is just the kind of time-waster I could get sucked into easily.

As might be guessed by reading the entry, I fully understand.

You know when we played I wasn't going to add any more characters to my team but was just too amused about playing your namesake against you...I'm evil like that ;) BTW, if you want a real challenge try playing it in Spanish sometime. Also I'm ready to throw down against your deck any time :)

Really, I didn't get my ass beaten hard enough last time.
Plus, you can't do that annoying thing the computer does where it freezes up the game if I'm in danger of winning.

Oh I FUCKING HATE THAT! I've talked to Jenoe about the fact that the computer can be a very sore loser sometimes, so it's a known bug, alas.

Hah! 20 to 4! Eat that!

A few more weeks of playing and you might just manage a tie ;)

Well yes, but only if I can avoid 500 Errors long enough to build a decent deck.
