Slight introduction and plans for upcoming blogs.

Slight introduction and plans for upcoming blogs.



Hi, nice of you to drop by.  My name is Cheng Jin.  You may or may not have seen a few of the blog entries I wrote quite a long time back.  (Okay, a REALLY long time back.)  Those blogs are kinda like something for me to do during the school holidays.  Back then, I was into Nerf and the arcade  card game "Animal Kaiser".  Of course, Nerf tournaments have almost, if not completely disappeared recently and my wallet could no longer handle the burn from paying RM3 to play a few games of luck and button-slamming.  Ah, good ol' times.  

Anyway, I stopped writing blogs because they were kind of a once-off thing and I really didn't have much to write about most of the time.  However, I picked up a new hobby/pasttime/black hole a few years back -- Trading Card Games.  I'm sure you are familiar with the more popular ones like Pokemon TCG, Magic: The Gathering or even Yu-Gi-Oh.

Too meta

Too bloody expensive.

Despite their popularity, I am not actually playing them.  The card games I play are Cardfight!! Vanguard:

The one that started it all.
FutureCard Buddyfight

The one that got played thanks to the one that started it all.
and most recently, Weiss Schwarz.

Catfights.  Catfights everywhere.
So... Yeah.  These are the three card games that I am currently playing.  I plan to slowly shift this blog towards card games as they practically generate their own material.  I am going to write a blog about each of the three card games I play.  Why I play them, why you should play and why you should not if you value your sanity and budget.

They will be standalone blogs giving personal views on the card games individually.  They will not be a regular thing, more like something you might bookmark and show to your friends that are interested in getting into a card game or reference material for you if you happen to be interested in playing a card game.  I may write blogs helping you choose between different decks for each game if I have the time.  (Oh what the heck, it's the holidays.  I always have time.)  

This is supposed to be an introduction post just to let y'all know what I plan to do with this blog but it seems I have let my mouth (fingers...?) run freely.  Well, that's it for now.  See you soon.
