You could always challenge Pete to Burnout Revenge. It's his Achilles Heel of video games.

James used to work at WotC when I did; he left during the First Great Purge to found Cheapass. (It's been rebranded to "James Earnest Games" now; it was hard to get big chain stores to carry something with the word "ass" in the company name.)

I like his stuff. :)

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

Just for an FYI: Adama played a G2 to XO Apollo.

Hey McNasty - M wants to know if we're up for gaming Sunday.

How sad is it that I live with the guy and yet we haven't talked in like 2 days?

Admiral Adama, as long as you're here do you play any interrupts?

has anyone heard of Cheap Ass Games?

That would be James Earnest...

Yup, worked with him, sometimes see him at poker night at the Foglio's. He is one sharp-witted sarcastic s.o.b. and I find him very good company.

Many of his games are good silly fun. "Gimme the Brain" is especially silly as it's a bunch of zombies working a fast-food joint in hell, and there's only one brain to share between them. The follow up to it was called "Lord of the Fries". Quality stuff.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I loved the Cheapass games site so much I had to read portions of it aloud to D.

Me: Hey they have a cardboard monkey listed among their staff!

D: He's probably the highest paid.
