Oh, while I'm at it, I am a robot god. Just played RoboRally, seven computer opponents, Factory Rejects scenario. I won, by killing. Them. All.
So very sweet.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

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

So on the FG side of things, if we want to have a video chat line going while we are gaming we have to run a separate client. Anyone have prefs for Windows based video chat client?

Back to bugs, and nightmares (mine):
I'm sure billytea knows about the fungus that attacks insects and makes them go crazy, then spores out of their bodies? So you get insect corpses with tentacle-y fungus spores growing out of them. VERY Cthulian.
Oddly, it's a different type of fungus for each type of insect.

Oh yes. That'd be neat for minions of Zuggtmoy, for instance.

We had a very billytea game night with megan. We played Settlers (with Knights and Cities explansion for six people), Zombie Fluxx, and Acquire (this cool old game megan brought). So much fun!

Coffee is more important that grandparents. I'm just saying.

Excellent. Incidentally, Acquire is an Avalon Hill game, which means that the website I linked to before with online RoboRally also has online Acquire.
How do you find the Cities and Knights expansion? I've heard it's well worthwhile, but I've never actually played it.
My latest gaming news (aside from hunting down and destroying seven robots in RoboRally) was a couple of nights ago. Wallybee couldn't sleep, we had a game of Lost Cities to pass the time. She utterly annihilated me, 140 to -11. For those who know the game, we've two cards left in the draw pile, she's played three handshakes on the green expedition and nothing else. In her last two turns she plays 9 and 10, reducing her -80 penalty to a measly -4, and closed out the game, leaving me with large deficits all over the place. It's easily the largest defeat she's ever inflicted on me, in any game.
For some reason, she slept just fine after that.
