entry 9499 - New Things

[scottobear]

Let's see - what's new?

Well, Shaun W came over for supper with BHK and me - veggie/stuffed cabbage, mac & cheese, and a ton of snacks.

Played -

Monty Python Fluxx - Cute game, I like it! Shaun Won.

Early American Chrononauts - A classic - BHK won.

The a-MAZE-ing labyrinth - BHK won, yet again.

Me, I got a good dinner and some fun chitty-chat time with folks. I'm good :)

Oh yeah, and Obama swept the presidential election! Good on you, Big O! He's got a lot of work ahead of him - I hope he's up to the task!

We may make game night a semi-regular occurrence, but I can't do the past 11pm thing on a "school night". Staying up late for the election was a special circumstance, and I'm glad I did.

Additional - looks like it's time for a new power supply for D1000y ( http://help-site.com/Hardware/Computers/Desktops/HP/Pavilion_d1000/Pavilion_d1000y/ ) . While I was dressing for work this morning, BHK called me over to have a whiff - the poor guy smells like burning christmas tree lights. I rather hope it's just the PSU - and nothing else major. Until a fix or replace, surfing from pyecam lappie, I guess!

450 watt minimum - also look into another fan to keep it cooler in there!

There is a Baron Munchausen role playing game i've noticed in the shop recently. Was wondering if you'd seen it -- I guess you are leaning more toward board games these days but I seem to recall you having a great (and inexplicable) fondness for Baron Munchausen and Buckaroo Bonzai.

I have seen a rpg for baron munchausen, and I do quite enjoy the setting both for the movie and historic (folkloric commander mcbragg) types, as well as ol' buckaroo. I do know they're not for everyone, but I think my big like for 'em both is partially due to the "normals in a 4-color universe" sort of vibe - especially with the Baron talking about his "exploits" to anyone who'll listen.

I'd love to do rpg stuff sometime, but it's tricky for me to find a good group to play with that meets my (and their) schedule. Not many groups that I know of will keep things to maybe a 4hour session 2-4x a month - most seem to be hot and heavy weekly (or more frequent) games of 10 hours at a toss- I would have to find a really golden set of folks to devote my every saturday or sunday.
