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've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

I love Robo Rally, I kick everyone's butts.

You can play against Pete.

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.

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

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.

that's all. I'm still recovering from my ass-whuping at Tigris & Euphrates.

Tigris & Euphrates is on GameTableOnline too.

boggling the game designer's mind

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.

You're both not far from the truth. He's a great guy. Becoming a multi-millionaire never went to his head.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That is a seriously awesome shirt. I loves me some Oregon Trail.
