“ Life is short, but sometimes it’s not short enough!”

Morrissey

It was Seattle in the 1990’s and change was in the air. Instead of big hair and guitar axe solos, music was being de- fanged.

To counter Marxism, post- modernism was spawned to rubbish confidence in any theory. Grunge robbed the youth of energy and hope. Is Pokémon now targeting Wargaming!??? Could those Alpha male “ war”-gamers be next for the de- fanging? Here, we present the evidence…

Our local gamestore is hosting card games! The Dice Studz play with cards but not these cards!

I know a large number of our youth section are dissuaded from even entering the store! How far away seem our club nights of old…

Now no one could ever accuse us of not being welcoming ( Really? Ed.) but I think it fair to describe our membership as “ conservative”. Can we get past pink/ turquoise hair and bare midriffs? I think the answer is affirmative but paper Pokémon hats and tiny flags? In a few weeks we maybe crewing the Isle of Wight ferry into the Strait of Hormuz as the final hurrah of the once great Royal Navy. Perhaps there is still time for a renaissance of sanity in our gaming home.
