RPG Stores
Dragon, a small shop of role-playing games, miniatures and collectible card in my area, close to the end of this month. I went there often, the owner is sympathetic to me, and then I beat him even at WOW TCG ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzoCWdY_Tmg ).
When he told me confess that I was wrong. In fact I had been anticipated by Falconer, but well, I hear from the voice dell'Evil Clerk was different.
It is true that every time I went there the shop was empty and there was he attached to the laptop trying to level his Tauren Druid.
Dragon was (I speak to the past so to mourn), a small shop with two windows, a concrete cube with a little inside 'manuals, miniature instruments and a couple of tables to accommodate those who wanted to play with cards or with wargame. To have him back home was very comfortable, though not often includes manual, it was nice to drop by once in a while and rummage through the shelves, or even order him what I could / I did not want to take elsewhere.
see him close is a little 'bad, because in the end his dream of opening a shop of this kind, it's my dream, and to see a boy my age who can not make it, is a bit' feel the same sense of failure on my skin.
When I asked "why" I replied that of course it is difficult to get such an activity. Even now that RPGs were a bit 'cleared from their niche in the "Recreation for Nerd" and are now almost result, the purchase of the manual is an impromptu thing, done once and then (thank goodness) you play. As for supplements, "people will download it (even though - I might add - the manual download is nothing compared to the printed press, but these are perversions of a fetish of the manual which was bought on ebay all the manuals Rolemaster because they remind him when a boy killing the orcs with his Beorning using the tables of Arms Law ...), cards "to buy on ebay (as I did for a while I even 'time in this part of saving a lot of money) and" with only thumbnails do not pitch. "
I thought a lot about the "failure" of the Dragon and the words of its manager.
always been my dream was to have a "hole", a small room in which to sell all this stuff that is the fun aspect of my life and then takes a good 80% of my life. As De Andre says "you sell it, what do you buy the best?" and my philosophy has always been a bit 'this: what's more' do good work as the seller of the best things that there are: GDR and videogames?
The thought that a business franchise can not make it, then with the support of a chain - Dragon - who is in Italy is worrying, but I tried anyway critical of myself in front of the question.
Dragon was definitely not very "active". In his place I would try to attract people to the store. How? For example, with their card games, which should be a constant and continuous entry. Organizing tournaments or even better, registering with the international tournament circuit. A serious crisis has been to bypass the WOW TCG event that are sure to explode in a few months in Italy, simply sell boosters and starter decks. A
Rome is not yet a shop that organizes matches for the region. If I want to try to qualify for the ladder, I have to go in Campania or in Umbria, to name two places' neighbors. But even ignoring the world of boardgames in my opinion is a mistake. I do not hear about Diplomacy tournaments for a long time (to cite a game between the more 'common) and just go to a little' BoardGameGeek to realize that this sector, especially in Europe but in Italy, is extremely active and for once we see as direct producers (my eyes light up every time I look at the huge huge box of "War of the Ring" on the shelf of my living room: P). Maybe it's my ignorance, but in my area, the center of Rome, there is a meeting point for those who want to play table in a competitive way. Indeed, even with regard to the CG, driven by the frenzy for WOW I am a bit 'rough, is the first place where I found the play in the northern suburbs. O
the GDR: there are never new product presentations, there is no interest (because maybe there?) For the Italian market, nor the will to sponsor the various associations (and those that are there are any) role-playing live. The most you will find a flyer with an email address.
Not to mention the ball game. Now it is true that Dragon did not have the space nor the resources likely, but is totally absent in Rome (or at least I do not I am aware, and that all I do in life you can 'say) of events related to video game tournaments, presentations or something.
Maybe I'm just pulling out of excuses to think that my dream is a dream bankruptcy, although who knows if anything will be done. Perhaps no field today with a store that sells fun, or perhaps the fun of today is very different from how I understand it and some other people. As I

How To Unblock Farmville
Battlenet kidz
dettto (I repeat, I know) have always been a regular visitor of the universes and then Blizzard Battlenet and the like.
What you learn while standing on Battlenet is the worst people to interact with Internet users that you can find around. My games in mode of Warcraft3 4vs4 fights are 50% and 50% for the other insults to cover the various idiots I meet.
The types of balls that can be found there are varied, and the analysis that I am going to do now is absolutely part and in no way comprehensive of all categories.
In my eyes the average user is somewhat misfit.
There is normally the beginning of the game finds some excuse to say that this or that are very "gay" and that you never understand a shit of life. Only this really enough for me to start my pro cross over gender / sexuality. Or the idiot portrayed or the game goes down the drain. There
then what he is right and / or Nazi. You understand that by cute nicknames like "888", "duxlux", "Heil" etc, but also by the fact that never, never resist the temptation to shoot in the first seconds of the game, some shit like "Niggers out" " Sieg Heil ", and all the footage that distinguishes these people extremely moderate.
There is also what is very good, but very good at playing, and then starts to tell you how to think about the fact that you wait a second too long before he built the altar, or your crypt fiends its no avail, and that you really are a "noob" and oh my word we have already lost because you really come and play in 4v4 with only 53% of wins? Generally this subject after the game will start talking to the other team saying that he is very strong and if you want to challenge you in 1v1 and it breaks my back, but his team was noob so short he could not do anything etc etc.
There is what he knows very well how to play and asks you for sharing you control of troops and then he guides them ALL, and you choose the skill you use the objects and in fact you stand to watch and if you laments of getting caught by too noob
there instead of what you do not know how, but after four years that the game is out is in its first game, and so has no idea how to play and after 20 minutes I will find that comes with its beautiful 5 grunt while you spent the time to amass Frost Wyrm. If he protests, of course gives you the noob.
There is what takes it personal, and as a beginning of the game was all friendly and you said "good luck, have fun, enjoy, from where are you? Italy, its a wonderful country" etc, when thou thin on the ground begins to put the base in the middle of your mother, your grandmother, your sister, and most people 'has more' and so forth. There
that after you killed four troops already says "GG", and then when you realize that you have 12 right by starting with the classic "noob air farm" realizing you have not created a single anti-air units in the whole game. Usually ends up that if he takes issue with the family.
There is one that has a beginning and an unbeatable strategy game start asking "gold please". And maybe you also from there helmets and all the gold you have to realize after 10 minutes that made mass gargoyles against a night elf.
There is what he has a winning strategy, and when you asked "are you good" told you have an account level 35 solo. Do you realize the shit only when the first battle against the enemy troops to remain both with 3 total. Typically at this point begins to talk with opponents saying that his teammate is noob.
Then there is the one that just is not prepared to lose, and while you're destroying the the main base, with six troops who destroyed the 12-begins to say that in fact YOU have won but that you are not worth a shit while your teammate is too pro to play in 2v2 ...
Given all this, my experience has taught me Battlenettiana a single word against all types of balls. The magic word is "kid." No insult seems to cause greater damage to a provocation with the answer "oh, you're so kid," ungrammatical even his mother tongue. Typically, the idiot is furious and - after we pointed out that he is NOT a kid - most of them with insults' heavy which just say "oh, sorry, I do not mess up with KIDS." And so, even in metasfida the argument is absolutely Battlenettiano GG! Then there
- last category - those who play Warcraft 3 for 4 years, that if you bought on the day of release, which has more than 1300 games on-line and is still a duffer and the tremendous 'that is only outlet is to go on his blog and tell how to manage relationships with Bambocci to Battlenet. Perhaps it's more 'disturbing ...

GOD MODE
The first time it happened I was playing to "Lock and Chase." Who is recalled first of all with many years on the back and the second then shook his hands with a bizarre joypad controller as a golden disc. I remember that I wandered
this maze and behold, a move I find awkward to move off the screen, with the score of the match that starts to rise dramatically. I watch TV and do not quite understand what happens. Only months after it was read on Games was not clear whether a bug or a cheat to get to reset the score (which was the goal of most of the old old games).
The second time, or better the second time worthy of note, has been with Pool of Radiance.
I had a cleric, I remember perfectly named Alboino, as my first DnD cleric pnp. Even there I do not know what the reason, the fact is that after having made him wear a dwarven city of righteousness, and bringing its constitution to "20", even after removing the objective nice and powerful, good Alboino had gained the amazing ability to regenerate wounds. I'm not saying it was like having immortality, but it certainly helped a cleric who regained her beautiful round every 1-2 pf. I always wondered if the game had expected something like that (in spite of the rules that provide for the regeneration adnd only scores very high up in the first edition) or if it was some kind of bug in that case. The fact is that not steal 'special taste to the masterpiece, and indeed the challenge remains' high.
Then many other cases, some volunteers (= cheat) other random (a bracket that hurled fireballs at Last 7 had decided not to download - good for you and your beloved blond avatar).
The last period of time dating back to last night: Neverwinter Night 2, Act 1, the city of Neverwinter. Arriving home that is already Marne 'Waving a few hours before slashing to right and left, in the midst of killers who want her dead. Join me (virtually behind the keyboard) to our little group of adventurers and we head towards the warehouse, where it seems we are waiting for other killers extremely angry. We go in, having unbelievably funny, and begin the battle ... but ... what do I see?
opponents who just a few minutes before us filled with damage now ... strangely ... we do not do anything??
In place of the damage, many small "0" (zero) will appear over the heads of our heroes. Swept from the face of the earth (of Faerun) thieves and then try to understand what happened.
Nothing to be done, it seems that our group of adventurers has become truly invulnerable.
At the initial bewilderment, following the complaints of Marne, which has lost the fun after seeing that nothing seems to dent our adventurers and my attempts to understand whether the situation is limited to the place where I am, or extended to the whole game, or if you accidentally have the same Marne Toccara some obscure option "God Mode" knows that 'because the dev would have to enter in-game. All the while the leader of the assassins bombards us with vials of acid explosive - without of course do nothing.
Arrive back in different locations already visited, and indeed the story does not change: the skeletons remain astonished in front of the power of my naked chest dwarf. The zombies are even sexy.
Moral of the story, I take a old save game where we are still "mortal" and redo the whole piece, making sure each time it kept my longed for death. Without
but 'not to think about all that can save buggy-game lead, once there I'll put my hands on ....... already I think of all those scripts in such situations should not be possible to win (you really want to attack the king of Neverwinter?
