I love Robo Rally, I kick everyone's butts.
'Tis a fine strategy unless they get hold of Rear-Firing Laser.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And then you mis-count by one and end up in front of the pusher, and your route then takes you into the Flaming Pit O' Death.

I love watching everyone shifting their bodies as they work out the route in their heads.
The dance of spatial awareness deficiency! Yes, I do that.

A quote from one game I played: "As God is my witness, I thought Spinbots could fly."

not your mom's socks.
loves Wallydama and Adamabee.
that's all. I'm still recovering from my ass-whuping at Tigris & Euphrates.
and yes, chats don't seem to get through when you're in game, Raq. At least for me. I would expect them to be stored, at least. But I'm not finding them.
Huh. 27 posts in Gaming... someone must be home sick.
Would love to have a good gaming group around here.

I don't know how good I would be at it anymore. I'm very rusty. ahem.
Still, I did have the pleasure of on one occasion boggling the game designer's mind when I shot someone with a laser across 3 board widths.
Good times.
RR games I play in usually turn into "Let's frag Pete!" because I've zipped past everyone and they've given up on beating me to the flags.

The set-up I most enjoy (against the AI at least) uses just the Chop Shop board. It avoids the runaway leader problem, at least in the literal sense.

Tigris & Euphrates is on GameTableOnline too.

He always struck me as a bogglable man. Kind of, "YOu people are looking at me. Why are you looking at me? Shoo."

And then he picks up a little robot and hides behind it, making "pew pew" noises. In my head, anyway.
