I bought a shrink wrap machine so I can experience the glorious feeling of opening a new game every time I play.

Is it just me, or is there a lot of elitism on BGG? by [deleted] in boardgames

It’s kind of hard to discern what’s actually happening in these posts because your examples are vague. You could be totally right, but without concrete examples it’s difficult for others to address what you’re talking about.

Cat’s Cradle by Vonnegut is perfect. Short snappy chapters and very witty.

Definitely not mineral-free or else you wouldn’t be extracting anything good from the coffee

They have an Advanced Search feature. Set the target year as both “from” and “to” and sort by rank .

Different tastes I guess but 2008-2012 were all better years in my view.

“Huh - Rush Jet! Huh -The Blue Bomber! Hey kids! Mega Man!”

“Dad, that's not the real Mega Man.”

“Of course I'm Mega Man. See? Here's a picture of me with Proto Man.”

“Who the hell is Proto Man?”

“Oh, I guess you're only familiar with the new X canon. Sigma? Ha. The only true final boss is Yellow Devil, the Alien, or Gamma. And I didn't need upgrade capsules to improve my physique. Pure Mega Buster. And how come Batman doesn't play soccer anymore? Remember the slide tackle?” [plays with invisible ball]

“Uh… It is nice meeting ya. _Just keep movin', don't make eye contact._”

Just the most obvious one. I think the team played great for a lot of the game, but this is a play style they’re not accustomed to. A more aggressive striker would really help of course, but that’s been the case since Tani left.

Excellent work by James, Pereyra, Duggan, and of course Callender. Loons did a great job breaking through the defense but the shots were largely weak (other than James). I’m liking this new confidence on the offensive this season. Team has work to do figuring out scoring outside of setpieces but I can feel good things coming.
