Go comics
This is your brain — This is your brain on Go Ko Fight Club has some of the best Go-related comics I’ve seen. Also, it’s not a bad idea at all to check out the RussCon session reports.

Die Macher preview
Finally I have it. I left work earlier Friday so I could run to the post office and get it. I couldn’t wait and opened the game already at the railway station. I couldn’t believe my eyes, I finally had it… I haven’t played it yet, but I think I’ll say a word or two…

Weekend gaming
This weekend I visited my parents and played games with them. I also tested my new game recording system: I bought a small notebook which I dedicated to making notes on my games. Before I’ve made notes in my calendar, this way they are a bit more permanent and I can have more room to…

New additions include ability to choose whether something is more or less important to you, making it weigh more or less, respectively, in the final results. I think the user interface looks nice, but tell…

Card games at a café
Here’s the session report I promised. Three of my friends (Laura, Ville and Olli) showed up and we had some tea (Chinese Gunpowder, didn’t like it), soft drinks (Dr. Pepper, I loved it) and card games at a local café. The café was a pretty good environment — it was very quiet (but a bit…

Actual gaming going on, maybe
Instead of just working on the profiler (which I haven’t touched today — I’ve decided to wait for some feedback and perhaps some registered raters, and won’t do anything, at least for few days), I’ve been doing something to get to play games! So, I’ve invited some friends to a cafe to play some card…
