Well, it’s officially 2015. The last year has certainly been a busy one, factoring in my sea time and the move to Maine. However, as I look back over the posting archive, I’m actually struck by how much I’ve managed to keep up with updating the blog! I’m not sure how I managed to pull it off, but there you go. 2014 was easily one of the most active years here on the site in a long time!<\/p>\n
As is traditional, I’m going to post two Top Lists here for video games and unplugged games. These lists will be short, and have more to do with what I played in 2014 than what came out in 2014. Here we go!<\/p>\n
1. World of Tanks<\/a>: Still playing a lot of this one. I’ve been in the game now for about 2 years, which is a surprising amount of time for me to be playing a single game.<\/p>\n 2. Fire Emblem: Awakening<\/a>: I played this game off and on all year; it is easily the best Fire Emblem game I have played. I’m going to have to do a detailed review of it one of these days…<\/p>\n 3. Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion<\/a>: I know this one is a couple of years old by now, but I still played quite a bit of it in 2014. The Star Trek Armada III<\/a> mod really breathed new life into this one, and if I wasn’t playing World of Tanks, I was probably playing this one!<\/p>\n 1. Dystopian Wars<\/a>: DW 2.0 came out this year, and I have had a blast with it! As with most of my games, I don’t get to play it nearly as much as I would like, but the new rules really tighten up the core game play while adding some interesting additional layers.<\/p>\n 2. Firestorm Armad<\/a>a: I missed out on the release of the second edition of this game in 2013 due to deployment, but I’ve gotten into it in a big way this past year. Definitely looking to get into it more this coming year!<\/p>\n 3. Ticket to Ride<\/a>: This game is now 10 years old, but Gwen and I really enjoy playing it together (one of the few boardgames we’ve found that we both like!). I imagine we will be playing this one quite a bit more in 2015.<\/p>\n And there you have it! 2015 is looking like it will be a great year for gaming, with a couple of great releases right on the horizon. The biggest one looks to be Star Wars Armada by Fantasy Flight Games. Until next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, it’s officially 2015.
