Project: MWO CHESS

I’m a fan of the Battletech universe for almost 2 decades and I was waiting for another Mechwarrior title for 10 years. Now there is a MW video game being developed (called Mechwarrior Online) and I became very engaged with the MWO Community.

It turns out that I decided to make a board game to emulate the experience of playing MWO (which is in Closed Beta right now). I give you:

All art of the game is based on elements from the MWO site and the rules are made for fast and furious games, with similar mechanics of MWO. The units (mechs) and factions are the same you can find in the video game, completing the experience.

I’m posting and commenting here the updates of MWO CHESS. You can freely get there a complete PDF manual with rules, cards and miniatures to print and start playing in your chess board.

Team Edward? No! Team Jacob? Hell no!
I choose Team Bela!

WORST MOVIE IN A DECADE

I was trying to make a post about the great movies I saw in 2011 (a very short list), but I turned up to write about the worst movie I saw in the last years.

AUGUST RUSH (2007)

There is only a word to describe this movie: obscene.

The story is so implausible that is kind of embarrassing to tell it here. An eleven years old “orphan”, separated by his mother at birth, turn up to be a gratuitous musical genius - because his parents (whom he never knew) are musicians, of course. And no matter how big the world is, how their lives are different, in the end, in some beautiful moment, the three will be “magically” drawn together.

Instant true love, the power of music… Even Disney's Cinderella isn't so naive. But this movie is not only naive, it's dangerous. It makes us think no matter the way we live our lives, no matter what we do, there is a wonderful path written for us.

And there is another lesson underneath: significant people are born that way.
That's really a comforting though, isn't? “I'm an ordinary person because I was not born a genius”.

Bullshit! We are all born dumb. Genius is earned. Get up your lazy ass and start learning something.

I think the boy's father is the cello. That explains a lot.

“Study and practice are for suckers. I was born ready!”

“I never saw that kid before, but somehow I know he IS our son”
