Not one of his more famous roles, but a Tim Curry line that always stuck with me was his guest appearance on Psych as a Simon Cowell-esque talent judge: "This is the plushiest, most opulent robe I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. I feel like an angel baby swaddled in a cocoon of cloud candy."

#Wiztober2026 Week 1: Feline 🐱
A digital illustration of a wizard draped in red and green robes strolling through an autumnal forest path. An orange tabby cat is curled up around the wide brim of his hat, and a tortoiseshell is perched atop his walking staff. Four other cats follow behind the wizard - a smaller orange tabby, a big gray tabby, a curious black cat, and a white cat who sits furthest away, uninterested.

Loving the duct work on yours tho! Something eerie in its own right about a whole city enclosed by an even larger structure, very sci fi and cool

Agreed! That lil bit of lip on the windows goes a long way. I also think part of it is the sense of scale. Smaller, more numerous windows make the buildings seem 30+ stories tall instead of 10, especially on the distant ones.

Also weird that once you do go to the trouble of finding it, the sword still has durability but regenerates over time! They were soo scared of a player finding a favorite weapon and sticking with it, and it winds up feeling like a mobile game's timer mixed with a survival game's resource management.

Those games do so much right, but I agree that this felt wrong! Clearly a compromise to fill the open world with Stuff without letting you just find anything that lasts the rest of the game, and allowing players to miss the Master Sword completely. But that misses the feel of his legendary sword.

Circling back because they just announced new commander decks geared specifically for new players to learn how to play! They look solid at a glance. magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

Commander is the most popular format and can be the most casual. Usually 4 players, so it feels less cutthroat than 1-v-1s. There are a ton of commander precons out there -- pre-made starter decks that you can play out of the box, then slowly upgrade over time as you get other cards.

I had a coworker friend who got me into it a few years ago, and she patiently walked me through all the rules. Soon I was doing the same for others and we ended up with a nice rotation of regular players. Game stores are also usually very helpful with getting new players set up!

Magic is a rabbit hole of a game with a million different ways to play, and sometimes it makes you feel like a lawyer when niche rules cause unexpected interactions. But it's also super fun when you find a good group of folks!

So glad I snapped this version up when building my Satoru, the Infiltrator deck last year. That pop of neon color synergizes with the deck even better than her actual ability!

I love me some wide pings. Keeps things moving without making anyone feel like they're being singled out and retaliating. It's been a pretty chill deck for nights when I don't feel like playing the politics game, at least the way I built it. Happy brewing!

Zack Bogucki 🎮🎧 @zbogucki.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
I've got a Tannuk deck that does exactly this, focusing on maximum pings over the usual landfall stompy nonsense! Koth seems like an easy slot in here, but I also like the idea of sticking to mono-red for an extra challenge.
MtG card "Tannuk, Memorial Ensign," a gruul commander that pings opponents and draws cards on landfall.MtG card "Sabotender," which pings each opponent on landfall.MtG card "Spitfire Lagac," which pings each opponent on landfall. The art more than makes up for the 4-mana cost.MtG card "Valakut Exploration," which pings each opponent on landfall (with extra steps).

MARVEL'S WOLVERINE IS OUT, BUBS!! I was the audio pillar lead for hero combat -- it was a huge honor to dial in the SFX of Logan's claws, including his iconic SNIKT! As always, I'm so proud to work alongside Insomniac's all-star audio team. Can't wait for folks to hear what we all made together.

Maybe my favorite game mechanic of the last decade. I could gush about it for lots of reasons, but I especially love that they were willing to commit to something so unexpected and goofy.

She lurches toward the viewer, arm crackling with energy, and an eye blazes unnaturally through her damaged helmet. The background is a closeup of her face and that ferocious gleam. She looks directly at you, and she sees prey.

It was so weird growing up in Texas and cheerfully being told how the park got its name. Just don't look too close at flag number 6.... It did always make me wonder what it was supposed to mean for the Six Flags parks in other states though.

Magic has already gone so broad that they're turning to community-enforced failsafes like the bracket system. Every format comes with steep onboard ramps, and I don't see that changing with or without homebrew cards. It's a fair consideration though!

Zack Bogucki 🎮🎧 @zbogucki.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
I broadly agree that custom cards would further complicate an extremely complex game, but that's also been my experience already when playing with strangers 😅 Rule 0 convos are a must either way. "My deck contains X insta-wins, or an engine that goes infinite with 4 telegraphed cards, etc."

Yes! I did exactly this with a full custom set cube, and it was extremely rewarding!! I wish there was an easier way to get it into people's hands tho, but I don't want to incur the wrath of any legal departments. So for now it just exists as a personal cube and an online gallery.

In that same time, we also had the UB set explosion folding itself into standard. Ironically, my D&D campaign set ended up more focused and on-theme than the shotgun blast of TMNT or Marvel references we got. If ANYTHING can be Magic like they clearly want, that has to include community creations.

Zack Bogucki 🎮🎧 @zbogucki.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
I spent a long time thinking about this while making my custom set over the last 3 years. I designed it as a self-contained cube since I knew some cards could become degenerate if combined with the real 30-year card pool, but by the time I finished WotC had already power-crept me!

Rookie mistakes like "conveying information" are a death knell for the rich, wonderful ecosystem of theorycrafting content creators. Please keep your themes vague and always speak in riddles, for their sake.

If I remember correctly, Brooke Yap did a lot of the implementation for that mission. But it definitely took some extra team effort to get all those surfaces sounding (and feeling) just right.
