Each one of us have a favorite hangout. My playgroup for instance, always play Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game in a shopping mall that’s near for everyone in the gang (Tropicana City Mall). When we played Magic: the Gathering and then the World of Warcraft TCG, we alternated between the local […]
TCG (trading card game) fans always get plenty of cool swag when playing in pre-release events, but I bet you haven’t seen anything as cool as a “Helvault.” The upcoming Magic expansion, Avacyn Restored, will feature exclusive Helvault kits, which are essentially mock-ups of the Helvault so central to the final story arc of […]

By CHEE YIH YANG alltherage@thestar.com.my IT no longer surprises us all on how different our daily life pans out now. Tweeting/Facebook-ing, tablet computers, smartphones and virtual communities are essentially what more and more people are talking about, and experiencing, too.
