So lets get caught up here. First I want to say I have NOT given up on this blog. The past couple weeks have kept me pretty distracted so I haven't taken the time to blog about the games I've been playing. I will say that Starcraft 2 has been fun as hell... even though I can't get out of the bronze league. Maybe I'll get a chance to blog about that after it comes out.
I'm really enjoying writing these posts, but it seems like its going to be really difficult to do one mechanic each week. While there are plenty of games for free online, not all of them will have the mechanic that I'm looking for and the board games that I find tend to be pretty pricey and require time to be shipped. Lastly, I have trouble picking through the games online because of the huge number of them out there.
So what I'm going to do is post up a list of some mechanics I've been thinking of blogging about with a checklist of some games under each and as I get all the games from the checklist, I'll start writing the new set. This may take me a little longer than a week to put up a new mechanic, but when I do I'll be able to finish it in a week.
