Family Feud: College Rules

July 1, 2008

Time for another round of the Family Feud. This time, college pals Reed Richards and Ben Grimm go at it – the nerd vs the jock, a battle for the ages. Bill Gates has been telling us for years that the nerds win, and for many it’s been the only comfort in between bouts of atomic wedgies and swirlies. But is he right???

The Uatu-vision’s on the fritz this time, so we can’t see the players hands, but the plays are all out in the open and such.

A Puzzle With No Solution: The Illuminati (part 2)

July 1, 2008

The Illuminati

Aaaaand we’re back.

For those of you who are just joining us, I’m rather exhaustively covering the cards available to an Illuminati deckbuilder. In part 1, I covered Illuminati-stamped support effects, the various members’ name-stamped Legend effects, and all the characters available to the “team” in Silver age. Today, I’m going to cover team-stamped effects you have access to thanks to the six members, as well as generics that are useful to the team. Finally, I’ll put it all together with a couple deck lists, and talk about general strategy.

At that point, my hands will fall off and I can sleep for the first time in a week.

O Canada

July 1, 2008

To all those who’ve taken me in here in the great white North (well, white for several months of the year at least), Happy Canada Day!

To all the comic geeks, celebrate Canada Day with a trip to AlphaFlight.net, and marvel that the only member to be on the roster for every incarnation isn’t the dude with the maple leaf jumpsuit, but rather the big, hairy orange one.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
