Hello Gamers, Sorry this is a little bit late, but I got my rat tail tangled on a Street Fighter II machine and it took forever for the paramedics to arrive after we called them on the car phone. I have to say this is a great time to be a traditional gamer. I attended DexCon in […]
So, you’re pumped and ready for the Magic 2011 Core set release this weekend, but perhaps you’re coming back into the game or, like Danielle, have never drafted before.
