Desperate Ravings Contract for first GP of 2018 is up. Judges are not pleased: https://amp.reddit.com/r/mtgjudge/comments/746uhx/first_2018_gp_up_hope_you_have_your_public/dnyg9e3/ Double-sided tokens are terrible https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/74rzqm/doublesided_tokens_feel_lazy_and_completely/ 1v1 Commander Changes: Tutors, and Emrakul are out: http://wizardsmtgo.tumblr.com/post/166220048834/mtgo-commander-1v1-banned-announcement Blast from the Past 1993 article about MTG: https://i.imgur.com/yhCs9Di.png - Some delightfully archaic stuff: “WotC shows greater savvy of the on-line information services than any other game company... It has its own node (wizards.com) on the Internet computer network, which features a fast-growing newsgroup devoted to the MAGIC game that currently draws over 100 messages a day.”
- “The MAGIC game requires a medium-to-large league of players to bring out its magic. Fortunately, its low entry price, simplicity, and quick play make this easier to achieve. It makes an ideal choice for conventions or lunch hours. Its drawbacks seem minor beside its groundbreaking achievement.”
The Finisher Last week, it was announced that on December 15th after 20 years AOL will be discontinuing America Online Instant Messenger service, better known as AIM. This is a huge blow to many who used the long-running instant messenger service that was core to many people’s first social experiences on the internet. So as we set our away messages and tag our availability statuses for the last time, how will you remember AIM? |
