Yay Gaming Thread! Woo! I'm delighted that you have this shiny new thread to play in. I really do love the enthusiasm.
No real gaming in my life except that my son lives in the World of Warcraft. DH#1 used to have big war board games on the dining room table for months at a time. He never convinced me it was anything but a serious amount of work. If I game I prefer to have a beginning and end within a reasonable period of time.
I'm lame. The last time I played anything other than standard board games was when I rocked the original Lode Runner. Kept an old computer box around just for that purpose.
I'll be checking in from time to time, but I'm a bit afraid of being sucked in to this madness. Have fun gamers!
So Mario Kart Wii comes out on Sunday, and it has online play.
Anyone want to race?
You wake up. It is dark.
> OPEN EYES
You see a whole new thread. Woo-Hoo!
We'll be getting Mario Kart on Tuesday, same day as GTA4. If I can wrestle the screen away from the GTA party, I'll meet you there.
Also? Most perfect thread name possible.
Also also? I know I promised no new people influx, but the hub has been saying "so when do we find out about the gaming thread?" for days now. I suspect we're going to finally suck him in to the hivemind...
I so totally want to get sucked into Mario Kart and GTA4, but I'm not sure I've got the time right now. So many things to play with!
If it weren't the end of the semester today and payday for both of us tomorrow, I might slightly flip at the thought of OMG BOTH GAMES AT ONCE... but, you know, it is. And it's not like I actually have the time, but I so need the new toys.
same day as GTA4
Pete is near-incoherent with anticipation for GTA4.
Anyone want to race?
I might have to try that. Is this the first online game for Wii?
Smash Bros. also has online play.
If anyone wants to hook up with me, my Wii number is in my profile.

Hee. I love
GTA: Vice City
so much.
Have you Catan fans played Carcassone or Caylus?
I've played Carcassonne a decent amount. I like it, but I prefer Cities & Knights. I think Caylus was the game that the guy in the Paris game store was trying to sell me. A medieval French city, something like that? In theory I should love it!
I just got Ticket to Ride Europe for Christmas and enjoyed that quite a bit. I think I still might prefer Acquire or Bohanza to all of them, but those are both different sorts of games.
