I don't mind playing it once in a blue moon but you have to be detached from the results emotionally. It's too random. So you just use it as a vehicle to be social in a nerdy way I guess. Not much of a game.
I'm with Moe Tousignant. I refuse to play Diplomacy anymore. If I really want that sort of "fun", I'll try out for Survivor or Big Brother, and at least try for a cash prize...
Ian Reilly I've had that experience. I sit there and watch them and think ... if this is what it means to be into geek fantasy stuff, maybe I need to rethink my choices in life. ha ha.
monopoly is that game for me. someone could probably make a better game out of it by adding some sort of arsonist or contract killer mechanic to it by augmenting chance and community chest, or if you land on baltic or mediterranean where the hit men and arsonists live.
I have to say, I really don't hate the board game tracker - I thought it was a gimic until I used it - it is actually more useful than everyone having their own D10 or D20.
Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me! My daughter and I have played the hell out of X-Men on my PS3. I'm bored! She's not, she could blow up sentinels with Storm all day long. Are there other button-mashers out there that: -Have a playable female character (so Ninja Turtles are out) -Available on PS3 -Multiplayer I'm aware Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows of Mystara comes out in June. Can't wait. But until then, I need something new since I can't listen to "Nothing stops the Blob!" again.
Rating the Marvel villains so far on a scale from Excelsior (good), to No-Prize (could be explained that they’re either good or bad), to Bullpen Floor (bad): Iron Monger: Excelsior Abomination: No-Prize Loki: Excelsior Red Skull: Excelsior Whiplash: Bullpen Floor Justin Hammer: Excelsior Loki again: Excelsior Mandarin: Excelsior Dark Elf what’s-his-name: Bullpen floor Hydra Conspiracy: Excelsior Ronan: Bullpen Floor Nebula: Excelsior Ultron: No-Prize Did I miss anyone?
I thought Monopoly was the big relationship destroyer.

ReplyDeleteFor some reason my nerd friends really like it but while we play I really don't like them
ReplyDeleteMy feelings on this game should be obvious.

ReplyDeleteA nice, friendly game to enjoy with your half-price Applebee's apps, Stephen Holowczyk?
