Ok, guest posting is scary, but because I love my bloggy friends, I agreed to post here at I Can Has Catboy?
The Cap'n gave me a few topics to pick from and I chose gaming, because well, I know more about it than the other topics she gave me.
In case you don't know, I am the author of Jumble Mash and I'm pretty much a geek. I am 25 years old and absolutely love gaming.
The Boyfriend and I have a Wii, PS3, and XBox 360 with the Kinect. My favorite console is the Xbox. My favorite games are Bioshock and Bioshock 2. I am absolutely and completely ecstatic that they are coming out with Bioshock 3, although I have to wait a long time.
I also play Halo 3 and Halo Reach a lot. I love getting online and all the guys are like "Girls can't play Halo" and then I completely kick their butts. I am good at it, but it's because I've put many hours into it.
I'm also am a WoW geek and cannot wait to play Cataclysm!
BUT something that we've recently gotten into that takes no console at all and is actually fairly cheap, even if you decide you want to buy all the expansions, and that is Munchkin.
Munchkin is a funny role-playing card game. You are dealt eight cards at the beginning and hope like Hell you get some armor or some weapons. You can even get dealt Class and Race cards. For instance you can be an Elf Warrior. Each Class and Race has its own special abilities and things that help you through battle.
Each player's turn begins by "Kicking open a door." You basically turn over a card, if there is a monster, you fight it, if not you can either draw another card or choose to fight a monster from your hand. Fighting a monster and winning allows you to level up. First player to reach level 10 wins.
When Boyfriend first introduced me to this game, I thought I would hate it. I'm not much into role playing games, but I am ADDICTED to this game. I LOVE IT! And the more people you have, the funner it is.
I just have to get more of my friends to play.
Anyone?
Thank you, Jumble Mash, for agreeing to guest post! I also enjoy Munchkin, but I don't own it. Maybe a certain magical individual from the North Pole could provide for my geekiness. <.<
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome! I'm gonna link it to my blog is just a minute.
ReplyDeleteNow what was scary about that? Geez girl, you are an old hand at this guesting now. The game sounds fun although I am not much into online gaming, leaving that for the teenagers that live here. Thank you for introducing me to another new blog
ReplyDeleteI so agree with Mynx. You're an old hand at this stuff already. Next you'll be on Blogs of Note!
ReplyDeleteThat Munchkin game looks cute! And you go, JM!
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with you guys. Not in a creepy way, though :)
ReplyDeleteYes Jumble, you ARE a gaming geek! Only joking. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about games but even I was interested in that Munchkin game after your description. Great blog :)
ReplyDeleteSince the whole blogiverse is fighting to have you guest post for them now, you're going to need a manager. I don't have a job right now so...
ReplyDeleteOK, OK,...I admit it....I may be partially responsible for making you a geek...since I own 6 Xbox consoles...but I take no responsibility for WoW...that's all on Boyfriends head :-) Ain't my little girl something y'all!
ReplyDelete@Thisisme- LOL Thats ok. I am not ashamed to admit my geekness.
ReplyDelete@Lyndy- It is really fun! I didn't think I'd be into it either.
@Mrs Hyde- HAHAHA. You're hired.
@Dad- Yes, I do think you had something to do with it.
