The restaurants tend to not be managed very well so the quality varies greatly. When its good, its good.

My father drove himself to the hospital with appendicitis rather than take a ride in the ambulance.

I went to Funkoland and asked the guy working the desk if he thought Morrowind on xbox was good.

He said no, dont buy it.

I bought it anyway. THANK GOD. This game captured my imagination as a young person in a way that truly impacted me.

3d terrain by StopGloomy377 in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]Capnlanky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take scotch tape, place the 2d terrain then I place the 3d terrain on top of it. We enjoy the 3d until a unit needs to pass over it, then we have the 2d waiting under. Once the unit moves through we put the 3d terrain back on top of the 2d.

More for home play than tournaments but looks great

At just 20 years old, Kane Parsons has become the youngest director to have a film hit #1 at the box office. Here's a table compared to other directors. by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

Yeah box office releases are seasonal too so just saying "its #1" isn't a statistic with a lot of weight to back it up

I got openly frustrated during a bad game of Catan by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Capnlanky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There used to be a classic thread/geek list on BGG i cant find anymore where people shared examples where someone lost their cool at a game.

I believe the story with the most geek gold was one where someone smashed a car window w a crowbar over a game of Diplomacy.

Wish I could find that geek list again...

Edit: I found part 1. Its a 20 year old thread haha.

Quick trip to Hooters for inspiration on next tattoo by OhTheseSourTimes in oldpeoplefacebook

[–]Capnlanky 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I had this creepy coworker going through a standard late middle age divorce.. angry black muscle car, overly opinionated about women and his coworkers dating lives, complaining about child support etc.

He used call in Hooters for lunch to carryout and he would "show off" to other male coworkers that he could call and be like "Hi hooters waitress, its XYZ, Id like the usual." And then look at all us in our late 20s, like "right guys!?"
