German Boardgame Geek Test
I made the German Boardgame Geek Test today. My score was 35.46%, which means I’m not hopelessly geek yet. I obviously have to improve my score. Also, I have a new toy, a digital camera. So, expect game pictures sooner or later! I’ve set up a photo gallery script at my web site, so you’ll…

The Sims — addiction is getting worse
Our Sims addiction is getting worse. That game is EVIL. It’s even worse than Civilization — at least Civilization had turns, so you could say oh, I’ll play just one more turn and then after n turns (of course you couldn’t stop right after the one, no way) you could stop. But The Sims just…

The Sims
We, that’s me and my girlfriend Johanna, acted on impulse and bought The Sims after reading a good review of the The Sims Deluxe Edition from the newspaper. I know I’ve always been interested in simulation games, I’ve played various Sim Cities, Sim Ant, Sim Life, Transport Tycoon, Railroad Tycoon, Theme Park… I can see…

General chit-chat
Updates are getting a bit scarce, I see. Well, there hasn’t been much to document, really. I tried again to play Tichu today, but I couldn’t get a game. I’ve been working on a picture gallery script and when that’s done, I’ll put all my game pictures there (most can be seen now in various…

Die Macher game happens!
I was getting ready to face the truth: I wouldn’t play Die Macher this weekend. But no, I will! I sent a sms to my friend, who had been interested but said his weekends were busy. I checked the situation and he said he might be going home for the weekend, or might not. And…

Die Macher game status
Oops, my Die Macher game player count looks bad. I currently have only one player; one who was coming maybe confirmed he can’t make it. I’ve started a bit more aggressive advertising, using every channel I know. Let’s hope I can get at least one more player, so we can play the game. On the…

New features at game profiler
I got very good and constructive feedback from Iain Cheyne and have now started to implement his ideas to the Game Profiler. At the moment they are concentrated on the users’ side. It’s now possible to leave fields empty. As a default, the system gives results from the top 100 list only. If you want,…

Article project
I’m planning to do an article, interviewing the members of the Finnish Game of the Year jury. I’ve already received their contact information, now I’m thinking about questions to ask. I’m hoping I’ll be able to send out the questions by e-mail today. Let’s see how it goes. It’d be interesting to know how they…

Game-related mailing list
Another shameless plug aimed for the Finnish readers: If you haven’t done so already, join Pelilista, which is basically the Finnish version of the almighty Spielfrieks, which is the best and most useful mailing list I’m on. Pelilista isn’t nearly as good or useful, but hey, there’s about 1000 Spielfrieks and about 30 Pelilista members……
