No comments December 18th, 2009

Board game is not popular in China. Most players are young people who like to receive new idea. It’s just fun of minorities. Now the things seem to change because The Battle among Three Kingdom appeared.

In Chinese history, there was some game like the board game we played today. The Picture of Be A More Powerful Officer (升官图) is one of them. In this game, the only target in this game is get the top of the ancient Chinese government architecture.

The Battle among Three Kingdom is more like a modern board game. Actually it definitely inspired by a famous board game Bang!. The cowboy is replaced by historical character in the Three Kingdom period after Han Dynasty of China. The  creator added many roleplay elements in the game, every character has their own skills which are fit their background in history.

My blog title is GEEK NEVER COOK, actually I love cooking. Cooking is one of my favorite things to do after work. I named my blog inspired by an online cloth manufacturer GEEK COOK.

Their design philosophy are democracy and science, both are our current society needed. Beside the abstract ideas, their stuffs are real awesome.

I have bought two T-shirts this summer, Nuclear Physics and Twitter theme.

Nuclear Physics

Tag on the right sleeve

Above is the Nuclear Physics theme shirt.After the famous E=MC2 equation are Chinese characters of  uranium, plutonium, protium, deuterium and tritium. The nuclear bombs Fat Man and Little Boy are in the right corner of this shirt. Maybe weired in someone’s eyes, but I like the style. I loved most is the tag on the right sleeve, which is also on all the T-shirt they selled,A geek inside tag. I am proud of be a geek lol.

Buying their cloth, I’m not afraid of thart others weared the same cloth I’m in. The China is so big and GEEK COOK is a small manufacturer and only sell their products online. Well, another advantage let me choose them. Enough for GEEK COOK, I should go and design my own zipper buckle for their new product I would bought later.

I will buy it later
