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.
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Mike Ness auto-awesomed What a weird show. Huge mosh pit full of dude-bros and middle aged dudes (and some badass chick with hemp purse that she never lost) stomping around like the freakin' Bushwackers from the WWF. Met a middle-aged english couple who used to be in the music distributor business who had been at a bunch of the same shows as we had over the last few years.
I thought Monopoly was the big relationship destroyer.
ReplyDeleteDiplomacy. That is the worst.

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?
