A Buffista game night could easily end in tears and bloodshed. Or a lot of drunk, laughing people.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

It's very hard for me to resist multiple-word plays in Scrabble even when it isn't the best move.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I mean, have a conversation, dude.hahaha
mac can only manage about an hour on week-end days without external stimuli.
editted b/c weekdays evenings require constant external stimuli until in bed reading.

Of course now that we have a Wii, there is Mario Kart where Leif tends to start laying down the smack.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, but I'm not talking about a kiddo here! I'm talking about a grown man! The kids were actually mostly fine, except for the occasional overstimulation freakout.
It's just a personality thing, I think. He's always been like that. He's out of the car before I have my seatbelt unbuckled, because he's just ready to be on to the next thing. It's part of what makes him so good at his work, so able to buckle down to such difficult linguistic tasks, because he can multitask and hyperfocus. It just makes socialization a bit frantic.

I am kind of competitive, but I don't mind losing. It's the good-nature swearing that happens while I'm losing that shocks some people.

I'm getting the pig!
In my family we almost always play Scrabble with no points, where the goal is to make the coolest words possible.
Ooh. Very interesting... Easier with the actual board game since the points don't add up on their own but this might be how we can play with my MiL on holidays or some such. Hmmm.
Scrabble don't get all that metaphysical.
This? Hilarious. DH tried a similar argument the other night during Lexulous. I'ma tell him that tonight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hate your kind. I will open up the board on principle and lose because of it.
I also get caught up in using up all the letters in my rack. I've had games where I've done that two plays in a row and still only squeaked out a win.
Where's Polgara? She's a little bit competitive.
I miss sitting around and playing board games too. I'm just not sure where it would fit into my sicky life.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

And I have board games at home I can't get people to play!
