Star Crack

So yeah...after spending hours looking at my Star Wars cards I had to ask myself the question: "Why did I quit, really?"

At first I didn't know...a lot of things bothered me about the game, and about people who played the game. Mainly cause Wizards hated the TCG, or just didn't care, and let it fall away by not advertising it at all. I truly believe that Star Wars was 2nd only to Magic for about 2 years; 2004-05ish.

Secondly, because of people who played the game that I knew had every card in the game...foil, and every time I got a sweet new card or that wicked cool Promo Boba Fett they'd wanna trade all these cards they knew I needed for it. I guess it was just how they played...when I would lose to them I'd feel like less of a person in ways, not because of the deck strategy, but because of how they played...emotionally I suppose.

After pondering these things for a minute or two I wondered what I loved about the game...and I came up with this: It's Star Wars and all my friends do it. I know that sounds lame, but it's the same reason why I'm playing WoW right now. I've got friends that I can play with online.

getting to the heart of this, I lost my Tusken deck and a few other cards...I think Russ has them, so I was angry...cause the Tusken deck is THE deck in my universe. Dark Side can be whatever...but Tuskens are for me. So i went looking on the net...and found lackey. This program basically lets me play with others over the net and have ALL the cards in ALL sets. pretty sweet. I've already made a bunch of decks, and I need to tweak them.

So this blog is basically just to say "hey...if you ever played SWTCG...get Lackey, make a deck or two...and play me." I already have phil and Russ playing it. Maybe if we get 6 or so we can do an online tournament or something fun like that.

Oh and I heard that Bioware released info on The Old Republic, the new MMORPG. I want!! Google it.

Back when the game first died and Lackey (or Apprentice) was the only option, I hated it. I have to say I still have my reservations about it, but it sure as heck beats not being able to play at all.

Meanwhile, I'm working on a deck that (should) be able to pwn the pants off your Tuskens...
