So this is the first time i've done this and it won't be the last i admit that, this year we've seen all sorts of cool stuff in the form of new magic sets, new video games which blew away all my expectations and even some neat dvds that have recently made a appearance on store shelves including a certain little film from the middle of august which i'll talk about later on in this article, also my apologies for not writing as much as i would like to, personal crap got in my way and plus i've been working hard on the spoiler season for mirrodin besieged, so let us begin this entry with a tad bit of style hmm?.
First on the discussion block was the reformation of this blog, which i decided was necessary, the first thing though i felt i should do is make a bit of a personal experience review and that with recent stuff i've encountered and/or had some experience with in the past, this being said, i focused on one the things i enjoy doing a lot, which was magic the gathering, at the time which was around the beginning of may, there was this set known as Rise of the Eldrazi and i happened to get my hands on a box of this neat stuff when it came out, you can find the review for this set here ---> ROE Review in which i detail the new mechanics and abilites of the set as a whole, while focusing on the cards that are going to be seen with this set, after that i felt things took off swimmingly for me in terms of how i did things for here so i started to focus more on giving the incentive and advice of a experienced magic player to the new people whom were entering the game and didn't know how to play at all, beginning the idea with a M11 Spoiler fest and then moving along nicely into the usual FNM starter guide/beginner's guide to drafting. This was one of the ways i felt i was assisting people whom were unaware of how the game works and i believe it worked nicely into getting some fresh faces into the game and even helping them understanding the basic mechanics of it.
Next was the fact i've recently started to collect dvd's and believe it or not i found some real gems during the year, espically at a local DVD shop i happen to go to called HMV, i managed to find the complete series of a old cartoon i used to watch called Teknoman or Tekkaman Blade in english for just under 24 bucks while christmas shopping, also i've acquired as gifts the entire 8 seasons of red vs blue meaning a marathon of the awesome series no one can get enough of. However i expect next year my collection to grow a lot bigger and better with some awesome box sets and even some decent overall movies due out in the next 6-8 months as well, it's been a good year for movies i'll give it that much.
Video game wise it's also been a rather nice one with a lot of Nintendo DS purchases and even some wii game purchases most notably Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn for the Nintendo Wii it's a good game but i've not got a chance to play it all that often at all. I started off the year with a measly 2 DS games and now my collection has tripled to 6 and my PS2 library has grown from a mere 6 to about 24 games, mostly all the old titles i used to have with the PS2 i sold a couple of years back but that's another story for another day, though i am hard at work with the Mirrodin Besieged Spoilers at this point it's gonna be a long year for me next year since i've got lots more stuff to do and so little time to do it in personally, I think though that about wraps up this edition of the year in review, i'll detail what i am going to do in the next post, since it is the end of the year in about 4 days as of this post.
