Rock Band currently features an amazing library of songs to choose from. My personal library consists of just over 360 songs and so many of them are classics and fun to play. However, when it comes to Rock Band, there are just some songs that I absolutely must have. Unfortunately, Rock Band doesn’t always put out the specific songs I want, so instead I have to make a wish list. Here are the top 5 songs I want to be added to Rock Band and why.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been debating how I should write my first Blarg post. Should I tell a story about a specific tournament? Should I talk about my history as a player? Maybe I should just give some judging tips.
Then it hit me that all those ideas, while good, aren’t the best for grabbing my readers’ attention. My first article needs to have some flair, some exciting hook that will pique their interest.
At that point, the only logical thing to do is write my origin story.

I know this isn’t the post I promised a few weeks ago about my opinions on the Watchmen prequels, but I am here to tell you that my first official post on The Spoils Web Blarg is now live. The post features my history with The Spoils as both a player and a judge, chronicling my path to become the first Judge of Great Justice. If you don’t already know the story, be sure to check it out over on the Blarg.
Also, I promise I will have the post regarding the Watchmen up by the end of February. I’ve been rather busy with a few editing projects and potential jobs as of late and haven’t had much time for my own writing, but quite a few of these matters should wrap up this week. Expect to see this Blarg updated much more regularly from March onward, even if I do get the day-job I’m interviewing for later today.
Wish me luck!
It would be hard pressed to find a card gamer that disagrees with the idea that it is always better to have more cards in your hand than your opponent. I understand that more cards in your hand doesn’t mean you are winning or that you have a good board position, but it is definitely better than having less cards in your hand, regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
But how do you get more cards than your opponent? That is usually accomplished by drawing more cards than your opponent or discarding cards from his hand. While it is certainly possible to do both, The Spoils tends to lend itself to players focusing on either drawing or discarding as combining the two makes for some very strange deck constructions.
So which is better?
