Magic Really Was Fun...

So I'm back after how many odd months of not blogging at all.
I'm not dead, I know all ... 2 of you (maybe) who used to read this will be relieved. If you ever think to check back for a new post again. Which you probably won't.

In the past week or so I've been itching to find a new online game to get in to. I'm not sure exactly why, but it started when I saw an ad for Corum Online, possibly in the ad space above the daily Penny Arcade comic. It looked like an interesting MMO, and it was free, so I gave it a shot. I played for maybe 20 mins. Then I saw an ad for PoxNora, an online, customizable tactics game (think Final Fantasy Tactics meets Magic the Gathering.) It was fun, but after playing only a few games I realized it was taking far too long. Even when one player was clearly more proficient with strategy it just took too long to win, like 1-2 hours maybe for a single game.

But it was fun, the strategy and all, in that it reminded me of Magic the Gathering, which was always fun. That then reminded me that MtG has been online for years now. If it was MtG I really wanted to play... well why not just play it?

So now I'm reinstalling Magic Online. I wonder if my interest will stay with this one. And I wonder if Ian still plays online...
