Now, before I go any further, let me first say that I'm a big believer in free speech. People should express how they feel, when those feelings are honest and sincere. However.... it ... http://www.apotome.com/wordpress/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=205 http://www.apotome.com/wordpress/index.php?p=204 http://www.apotome.com/wordpress/index.php?p=204#comments Sun, 20 Jan 2008 21:54:54 +0000 Media http://www.apotome.com/wordpress/index.php?p=204 Just when you thought you'd heard the last of me talking about ULBG.... along comes a new podcast interview. :) I want to thank James from LMALradio for contacting me recently and setting up an interview.

If you're trying to order The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide on Amazon.com right now you've probably discovered that it's currently sold out.

Not computer games, but rather I prefer to design traditional board, tile and card games.
