 PTG Episode 34: Realms of Magic [55:22m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (556)

PTG Episode 34 is brought to you by the classic 80s comedy Clue. What on earth does this movie have to do with ANY of this week’s topics? Not a thing. It’s just a movie I love despite the fact that I have NEVER in my life played the board game upon which the game is based. If you’ve seen the movie, you probably love it too, because it’s a veritable who’s-who of famous comic actors from a time not-to-long ago, and because it’s so darned quotable. If you haven’t seen it, stop reading this right now and find a way to get your hands on a copy. It’s great fun.

In Episode 34 my longtime friends and gaming buddies, Lou Ornstein and Howard Herbst, join me in the studio to talk about the Magic 2010 pre-release events going on at Cool Stuff Games in Winter Park, as well some other venues they had the opportunity to check out during the day. Once again, we have to thank the folks at Cool Stuff for allowing PTG to shoot video and conduct interviews with gamers and staff at the store during the event. Everyone was very gracious and eager to chat with us about their love of Magic the Gathering and to share thoughts about the new set of cards they were all having the opportunity to play with. It was a fun morning of video shooting, but I have to confess, I found myself wishing I could get my hands on some of those new cards and throw down right along with the other tournament players instead of just documenting from the sidelines. Perhaps next time.
