With the World of Warcraft TCG Worlds event going on in Amsterdam, all of the players at Grasshopper’s were completely enthralled in anything and everything Wow TCG. Whether it was speculating how the new Dungeon decks would affect the metagame or checking our iPhones to see who was doing well at Worlds, everyone at the store was talking about WoW. With everyone so focused on the game, the only logical conclusion was to sit everyone down and run a Battlegrounds tournament. With everyone eager to play we got the tournament off the ground and the six of us went to battle with dreams of playing in the Worlds event floating in our minds.

My apologies for my lack of posts this past week. I have been rather busy working on the next expansion set for The Spoils and haven’t had as much time to write as I would like.
I did, however, find the time to write up a new tournament report for Diannara.com. In the report I cover a recent Battlegrounds Tournament held at Grasshopper’s Comics and detail each of my matches. To read the full report and my thoughts on the matches, click here.
Next week I hope to get back on schedule with a few posts. I will likely e writing up another tournament report for Diannara as I am expecting to be playing in another event when this post is published. I also have a lot to say about Frank Miller’s recent comments regarding the Occupy Wall Street movement, so expect see a piece about why I think he should keep his mouth shut, or at the very least choose his words more carefully.
Until then, though, be sure to enjoy this Autumn weather while getting yourself ready for the upcoming holiday season.
Believe it or not but one of my favorite moments in comics is found during the conclusion of Brian Azzarello’s twelve-part Superman story “For Tomorrow”. This is one of four Superman stories that I actually enjoy and respect and, oddly enough, it is the only one of the four that takes place in regular continuity. Of course every Superman fan hated it and DC has basically ignored it since it finished, but that’s to be expected from a story in which the only people who like it are people who hate the Superman character.

This past Saturday was the Hallow’s End Holiday event at Grasshopper’s Comics. This was the first event held at the store since the release of Throne of Tides, which also marks it as the first event under the new Core format. We had nine players turn out for the event and everyone had an absolute blast testing out their new Core builds while simultaneously competing for the Hallow’s End exclusive playmat prize.
