What is with all the brown noses... I go through a lot of forums, the SGO: TCG, Stargate Worlds, and Warhammer fansite, a Few MMO sites, other gaming sites (the list goes on) forums come to mind, and people will do anything to get the attention of a game developer or site admin/mod.
For example, was surfing a forum just before and One person asked a question there, and a handful of members replied, then a developer of the game replied, then you can only imagine what happened then..
A couple of people then said, along the lines of "I was going to say that, but I seen you say it Mr dev" .. LOL ...
Then because a Dev answered in a thread most people reply and shout out for attention and instead of discussing the topic they are asking the Devs something else and chatting to them, instead of the topic starter...
This happens in all game forums.. World of Warcraft are really really bad for it...
Anyway, just wanted to get my frustrations out while I am in this funny mood....
SGO TCG End of Beta
Well it has come to the last day of Beta, and the last Beta tournament day as well.
I had a heap of fun during beta, and I can't wait to see what cards I get in the free starter pack and the free booster pack I get for playing in the tournament.
I won 3 out of 5 rounds in today's sealed game.. it was lots of fun.
Hopefully I see people stay after beta, especial that they can play casual games for free with the free cards they got from playing the beta.
Oh another cool thing, is the first Live tournament is this weekend, and if you play you get a Fifth, Hardened Foe promo video card, just for playing..
Yes a Video card.. there will be special cards for the Online version of the game that have a little 'play' button on them and it will show a mini-clip from the show for that card.. How cool is that..
Anyway I am hoping to be able to play.. Just for that card :)

A "Thank You" to the Stargate Online TCG Beta Testers
Everyone here at SOE has been extremely happy with the involvement of the community during the beta testing of the Stargate Online TCG. Without your help we would be testing internally for quite some time. It has been a great experience for us, so we want to make sure it is a great experience for you as well.
As a "thank you" to everyone who has helped us in this beta test, we will be crediting your live account with a random starter deck once the beta is over. All you need to do is log in to the live game with your Station ID and you will have you deck waiting for you.
In Addition, we will be holding several large beta tournaments this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday the 24th - 26th! Each participant in these "End of Beta" sealed deck tournaments will receive prizes in the form of a single booster pack and special avatar that only participants of this event will get. We will also give away additional digital booster packs to the top 3 players, and the top player in each of these tournaments also will receive a special new avatar only for them! All prizes will be credited to each player's live account.
There is still a few days left of Beta, so jump in and have a try-before-you-buy go at it..

Another paint job.
I am still playing around with small scenic bases for my warhammer figures, and I have come up with this one.
The photo's are not the best, but it is a space marine with a tyrant's head at his feet.
Was just trying out a blood effect by mixing in red ink and chestnut ink with some PVA glue for the blood...
Also wanted to try out some worms/grubs as well..
What do you think?

Stargate OTCG Skirmish mode
The skirmish mode is now live in the Stargate Online TCG.
It came into the game with tonight patch, as well as other fixes, and no more bubbles.. yay!!!
The skirmish is great. You play against the computer (bots) and you can try out different deck builds and take your time playing with out upsetting someone else's real play time or embarrassing yourself.
Once you get a good deck going it is had to lose to the bots, but hopefully in the future they will add more bots to skirmish with different skills and cards.
If you haven't had a look at the Stargate Online Trading card game yet, now is the time to check it out at stargateonlinetcg.station.sony.com, it is fee at the moment for it is in beta and it is only a 60 mb download (give or take a mb or 2).
If ya are going to play, add me to ya buddy list, Draxonfly, and we'll have a game.

A bit of painting...
First off Happy Easter to everyone...
I got the itch to do a bit of painting over easter, ad I wanted to see how I would go at making a scenic base on a 20mm base (warhammer 40K)..
I made one up out odd bits lying around, and I also finished painting an old plastic space marine I had sitting in the corner..
I think it turned out quite well, even though I hate painting space marines, I have so much trouble painting the power armour.. I don't know why..
Any way you can see some of my paintings over at MongBat.com ..
And here is an image of the finished miniature and base.. (all I got to do now is learn how to take a good picture.. lol )

Bloody Snobs
I been playing the Stargate Online TCG of late (if ya didn't notice) and for the most part all the people I play are great, nice and friendly...
But there is a couple that get around, they won't say a simple 'hi' at the start of a game, or even a simple 'gg' at the end.. That is all it takes... Not to hard to do that???
I know it is only a game and whether you say hi/gg or not doesn't effect the game play at all, but it is just common courtesy, and give that little extra pleasantness in game..
..in any game..
If we are gaming together, and ya don't say some sort of Hi and buy/gg when we play.. Then your on my ignore/block list.. I don't want to play with unfriendly wankers...
Even if you can't speak a word of English, you can still type a simple H or G ??? or some word that is the same in your language? At least I can see you are trying to communicate.
It is always the little things...

Stargate Online TCG
I love trading card games, Yu-Gi-Oh!,Magic the Gathering and all that..
I have a heap of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, and I have dabbled in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Online TCG and the Magic Online TCG as well.. Lost of fun but there is a tone of members that have been playing it for a while and if feels a little scary to get on and have a game against them...
Well now that Stargate Online: Trading Card game is coming out, this might be the chance of getting in early and having a go at a Online TCG where the playing field is quite equal at the moment..
Here is a link to the Main site: Stargate Online: TCG
It is in its beta phase right now, so it is fee to play and have a go at, there is a lot to think about while playing, but there is a lot of helpful 'hints' while playing to help you out, like highlighted cards you can play in the turn...
When it is released (which is soon by the sounds of it) the Offline (real cards) game will be released at the same time...
I love Stargate, and this game is quite fun to play, when ya work it all out that is (I'm still trying to work it out fully)....
Check it out, Stargate Online: TCG, and see what you think...
.. and if you see me on there (Draxonfly) give me a yell to have a game.. Just take it easy on me though... lol

Over it!
Ok I am over World of Warcraft .. once again..
This is about the 4th time I have quit this game, and I think this is the last time...
Warhammer online will be here, hopefully by the end of the year, and I am waiting on that. been following it for some time now..
But in the mean-time I am going through the glorified chat room that is called Second Life.. pfft.. kinda really boring at the moment...
Might jump on Dark age of Camelot again in the near future..
Just trying to kill time till WAR (Warhammer online).. It is looking to be a great game...
Oh I am also trying to build a Vampire count army for the table top game of Warhammer, and either a Dark elder of Ork army for Warhammer 40,000 table top game...
I have a few miniatures and I have been painting them for a year or so now, but I don't have an army yet or ever played a game yet.. so hoping to do that soon too..
