Schedule

Posted on May 16, 2017 by Chris S.

Yeah, this never has worked for me: setting up a schedule for what to play on any given day.

I had a table that I rolled dice one to try to determine what game I would play on a given night. Didn’t work, never stuck to it, and it was edited many times as I finished a given replay.

I want to try to organize my play between sports games and war games, so maybe I should just alternate my weekly focus from one to the other, because I’ve actually found myself frozen into inaction as I try to decide between the two hobbies. I end up doing neither and spending too much time online or wallowing in my own indecision.

So starting this week, I’ll continue with the war games (Bataan! is my primary focus), and switch to sports next week, just in time for the big racing day of 2017 (Monaco GP/Indy 500/World 600), which happens to fall on my sister’s birthday. Focus will be on baseball and (of course) racing games.

And maybe wrestling.

Stay tuned!

Hiatus over?

The Wall

Posted on April 21, 2017 by Chris S.

I’ve hit it.

I haven’t lost interest in my tabletop sports games, I’ve lost interest in playing them, specifically baseball.

I played so much over the last 3 years that I may have burned myself out at least twice during that span.

Meanwhile, interest in my other hobbies have returned.

So it may be a bit quiet around here while I indulge in wargames and miniatures/painting for a while.

Signing off, for now.

Signage Update: PepsiCo Park

Posted on April 1, 2017 by Chris S.

With a new baseball season upon us, I thought it was high time to do some maintenance at PepsiCo Park.

The act of rolling the dice in the tower has an unfortunate tendency to wear down the paper signage that is placed in the exit chute, so I took it as a chance to place a logo that I should have put on the park two years ago.

You can see the damage to the top of the paper sign on the left with the old 1940s Pepsi logo.

I simply had no time (or reason) to replace any of the existing signage back in 2015, when this should have been up for Back to the Future’s 30th anniversary.
