Awhile back, I ordered a big box of board games. They have arrived, and we are now playing through them and enjoying them. Etc. So here is some of my first impressions of the games within said big box. One of the games I bought almost completely on a whim was Race for the Galaxy. […]
Gears of War 2 ain’t nuthin’ special. It’s the same game, with the same ridiculous dialog, and essentially the same weapons, with some new locations, new gimmicks, and new plot that doesn’t make any fucking sense. It’s completely from the “longer, better, more bad-ass” school of game design. But you know what? That’s pretty alright. […]
I slept like shit Friday Night! And I had this dream! I was back in high school at Notre Dame, only we seemed to be in the gym of my grade school. We were trying to put together the yearly musical, only for whatever reason, nobody had gotten a head start on it. It was […]
Sometimes I have my moments where I realize “Holy shit, I really am the sort of person who has a degree in English.” Mostly, these come in the form of inspiration for English Major-y papers, where I look at something and realize I could analyze it in a way where I could add in research, […]
So I’ve been cleaning off my desk. Sort of. Mostly I’ve just been chewing all the gum that has been on my desk for months. I’m actually unsure how this is really getting my desk cleaner, but at least it doesn’t have packs of gum on it anymore? I guess that’s nice. And I got […]
On a whim, as I do, I picked up a game because it was cheap. (Only $2.50!) It is called Chains. This is its website, but don’t buy it from there, because even if the sale I bought it during is off by the time you read this, it’s still going to be cheaper on […]
I find now, all of the sudden, that I have no idea why I am not following Giant Bomb more often. I was liked to a little review of Rocket Riot, a game I hadn’t really heard about, on Talking Time. I watched it, and I was like “Okay, this is pretty entertaining, let’s see […]
Work is just amazing. I just found out that I have HOURS next week! Actual, verifiable hours! Lots of them! I will have a big paycheck! I was all happy! And then I went “Oh, I have hours.” I mean, I’m not someone who bitches about work a lot? When something genuinely pisses me off, […]
Speaking of board games, we managed to get in another exciting game of Arkham Horror on the 3rd! Yay for Arkham Horror! This impromptu match against Eldritch forces pitted us against Glaaki. Luckily, we weren’t too afraid of some crazy lake slug, so we dug on in. Essner, of course, started out the night on […]
Free shipping is a trap. A TRAP! It took me a long while to realize this, and about when I did, I got Amazon Prime, so it would never again be an issue. Gone were the days of throwing another two or three things I didn’t need onto an order in order to get super […]
