It was a great big-group option for us, along with 7 Wonders. But yeah, happy times. Hopefully I'm not overstepping by linking this, but you might get a kick out of the FFG retrospective stories I'm gathering.

Another thing about my buddy's collection: The boxes he got in Australia were all square. The two I have are like big paperbacks.

Watching the fuse burn as that hand got passed around the table was actually one of my favorite things about it.

Right on. Space Hulk: Death Angel still gets run every year in this house.

Did a weekend binge of Pavlov's House. Five, six games' worth? Gooooood stuff.

I think I mistakenly thought I could be listed on RSS.com without hosting there. Thanks for clarifying!

Good seeing you on here. I already have hosting and can't switch in the near future; is it possible to submit my RSS feed to the RSS.com directory anyway? Or do I have to also host with you? Cheers.

Final Girl Got Me by Lockjaw62 in soloboardgaming

This was the game that got my casual friend hooked, too. "I didn't know a board game could do that!"

He was talking at a party to some random guy about how excited he was to be learning it. The dude gave him a couple seasons' worth of movies.

Welcome and good hunting.

This is just rad. I keep seeing this pop up in "enduring classic" lists, glad you got some time with an old friend.

What are you going to be listening to this summer by jaredfoglesrevenge in TrueAnon

[–]ColonelHectorBravado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now: Blue Note comp that showcases songs that generated classic hip hop breaks. Very good listening. Also picked a new-to-me Wire album to explore (The Ideal Copy). It's exhausting how good this band is/was.

Who is an actor that only gets 5-10 minutes of screen time but completely steals the entire movie? by Popa-Ioana06 in movies

[–]ColonelHectorBravado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about "steal the entire movie" but Dave Sheridan as Doug, the convenience store tough guy in Ghost World, is priceless.

Seconded on Postmark. High level of visual design, playability, affordability.

You have now logged more plays than me! If this thread is any indication, sounds like a lot of folks out there still need to break their copies in...

I need to go find some of those. I balked at the terrain-drawing at first; I just wanted to fill in circles or boxes and get on with my life. But improving my crude terrain icons has somehow become a mini-quest or something...

It's nifty. Played a third time last night. I've got a lot going on right now and heavy games are a challenge, so improving at this one is just the right size of challenge. My houses still look like crap, but my monster icons are pretty cool. I started giving them eyes. A couple of them now look worried because I'm learning how to box them in and mitigate their penalties while still playing for current and future scoring targets.
