There seems to de definitely a buzz about Assassins. Not only has this has been spotlighted on Yahoo! but I added some more stuff related to that game I have taken from Wikipedia. This is my first haul off the free-from encyclopedia and I hope it would not be my last.

There is something refreshing about finding such a project, and while some of its articles (mostly related to hot-button issues) may lack some objectivity, it's probably not worst than the Brit.

As for the sudden interest (revival???) with the "Killer" phenomenon, it may be related to the same attraction people feel towards flash-mobs.

To have access to new RPG sites 2 weekends in a row is somewhat unprecendented. I admit I have been spoiled and can't wait to see whether the streak will continue.

For my MtG Tarot, I have drawn COILING ORACLE, which is a good omen, in a Delphic way.

Not much to say today, except that I started to write down my "crazy" method behind my data selection.

You will find the work in progress on this site. Hopefully, within I should have it finished by the end of next week. When I started writing this down, I realize it is way more complicated to conceptualize than to think about it. Maybe I should put a "Jackass"-type warning...

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!

YOU WILL GET HURT!!!

OR GO CRAZY, WHY DO I CARE?

That's it for now...

On the MtG front, I've drawn NULLMAGE SHEPHERD, which I guess is as bizarre a concept as my method...

Well, the CBC lock-out has (finally) ended, just as the Hockey seasons begins, which has brought some rather sharp criticisim on Robert Rabinovitch's managing style, stating that he seemed more interested in the bottom line rather than the mission of the network (uh, oh!!! shades of "Le grand dérangement").

Ever since my own personaly brush with this management "fad" (shutting down a business or using scabs or other temporary stopgap measures to reduce costs on a temporary basis, the length of which already decided at the beginning) a couple of years back, I became attuned to these hypocritical manuevers that are becoming more and more rampant.

It doesn't take a "conspiracy theorist" to have considered in advance that the CBC's work stoppage would only end when it was the most convenient for them and that was the start of the hockey season. After all "Hockey Night in Canada" is their flagship program and it was inconceivable that they would try to show NOT show the program (Heaven forbid they tried to offer the "no play-by-play" package they used for the CFL or which francophones were stuck with when the SRC was locked out).

Then again, seeing how they let the "La Soirée du Hockey" franchise disappear using the low ratings brought uop by the "silent" treatment and the rising costs, nothing would surprise me. I wounder if the public's outcry would have shamed the government into doing something more pro-active than they did for the francophone side of things.

Of course, the irony of this is that, since hockey is not available on any French networks, the only way, people can watch it is subscribe to RDS (to our "friendly" competitiors), meaning more business to us at work.

I guess what I want to say is that, these work stoppages are really a coward's way out as they consider this a quick fix to fix their money problems and the hell with the employees. Of course, afterwards they expect unwavering loyalty.

Sigh, tommorow Vancouver.

Today's MtG pick is SELESNYA SAGITTARS, which I supposed would be very useful to kick the behinds of the lordly tycoons...
