So, Liz and I took a week off, and a bunch of the old crew from college came up to escape for a bit. There were massive quantities of beer consumed (homebrew Noisy Wingnut Steam Hefeweizen, and Cream Ale), good food, good friends, lots of gaming. One of the things which consistently impresses me about [...]

I’m certain I’ve written about this before, but I’m no stranger to repeating myself, so I will do so here. Eclipse Phase is an interesting roleplaying game which deals with conspiracy and horror (always good things for fiction), and far future science fiction concepts of post-scarcity economies (Star Trek style replicators) and transhumanism (consciousness transfer, [...]

I showed my Shadowrun book to a guy at work, and even let him borrow it for a couple of days. He returned it, and asked me “But what about all those people who take it too seriously and hanged themselves when their character died”. Dude? Really? You play guitar in a rock band – [...]

And I’ve been busy with real life, and perhaps I’ll write about all of that later. (Nothing bad, just busy – garden, house, etc.). Anyway, I did feel the need to post about my birthday (well, several birthdays, anniversaries and Christmases and such) present which was delivered a couple weeks ago. Liz put this all [...]

Kind of a lazy about the house weekend, but with us, that doesn’t mean nonproductive: Got the oil changed on my car, the inspection sticker affixed, and some misc detail repair (the 1 to 4 power adapter is remounted, etc.). While the oil was draining, I tidied up the garage a bit. Got the seed [...]

or, “my dog ate my wife’s warjack”. Basically, Socks the cat duped Diesel the dog into eating one of my wife’s Cygnar warjacks – a Lancer, to be precise. Basically, she shoved it off the top of the entertainment center, where it fell about 4 feet on to a the TV stand. The shield arm [...]

So, Liz and I have been playing a pretty decent amount of Warmachine, and I took some pictures. Note that the bases are not yet finished. This is two folding tables put next to each other, which is what we’re using for a game table until the Geek Chic table arrives.

Lizzy got me a copy of Back to the Future, of which we played a couple games this morning. It is quite a good game. It is by the same guys who did Fluxx, which I also recommend. My mother in law got me a copy of Munchkin Quest, which we played last night. Also, [...]

I’m watching Magnum Force, as Liz got me the Dirty Harry collection for Christmas. Already watched Dirty Harry… They did a very good job remastering it. Dirty Harry shows quite a lot of film grain – this one is much better. The enormous ’70 cars with super squishy suspensions are hilarious.
