Online Gaming:
I played my first game at BrettSpielWelt Labor Day Weekend. Now I've logged a touch over 300 games. The social aspect of online games game suffer, no doubt. Comments can be easy to misconstrue, as each player hears the tone they expect, and it's just more difficult to type than chat. Still, the problem solving aspect gets a full, fast workout online.
I also play Bridge online at OKBridge (Username: Renauld). This is more social, since I'm playing with college friends.
I didn't leap at BSW, since I'm lucky enough to have frequent gaming sessions. But I enjoy the chance to explore titles in detail. I'm pretty much done with St. Petersburg, playing San Juan sometimes, and I think I've finally figured out Power Grid.
If you see me, say hi!
