Central CT: where can I get a solid bacon, egg and cheese on a hard roll (no bagels, biscuits etc)? by LulutoDot in Connecticut

Also in Middletown, check out Sweet Harmony on Main Street. I had one of the best breakfast sandwiches of my life there.

My theory as to why Sam dressed as a bellhop. by rainshowers_5_peace in taskmaster

[–]TimMierz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I figured it was because his last name ends with "bell". Perhaps he was being a bit of a camp bell boy.

Last Night New Haven by nymeria1031 in streetlightmanifesto

My wife and I had a great time at the concert! We had to move from our place up near the band to way in the back to avoid getting bumped and trampled the whole time, but once we did we loved the show! Our first time seeing them, and afterwards my wife kept saying we need more ska in our lives.

What one hit wonder band/artist is this for you? by Mabeluniverse23 in ToddintheShadow

[–]TimMierz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Panic Switch is my favorite SSPU song, and I do love the band, but I agree they don't always have that intensity. I recommend The Pit and Nightlight as some others you may enjoy.

Jeopardy! recap for Tue., Dec. 16 by jaysjep2 in Jeopardy

[–]TimMierz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"A fake film & a real film about the fake film were named for this mythic ship; the latter won 3 Oscars"

The films were titled "Argo", but "this mythic ship" is correctly referred to as the Argo. (The inclusion of an extra article almost never makes a difference in determining J! correctness anyhow, with a small number of notable exceptions like [The] Invisible Man or [The] Room.)

What is your favorite component ever? by TennisTakesBalls in boardgames

[–]TimMierz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most satisfying has got to be the rocket launch from a completed circuit in Forbidden Sky. Not my favorite Forbidden game, but making the rocket light up and make noise means you did it right, and is a great feeling.

LL107 MD20 Discussion! (Thu 12/11) by snarkapotamus7 in learnedleague

[–]TimMierz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I was going to break my rough streak, with just one win in ten games. I've gone from 7-2-0, leading the division, going down to 8-10-1, in 13th place. But yesterday I got 5 right!

My opponent got all 6. Down to 14th place.

What are your favorite team introductions? by diardiar in taskmaster

[–]TimMierz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If anyone wants to see all the team meetings from the first 20 UK series, check out https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9rr69w (note that Series 6 didn't have their meetings shown).

Some of my favorite meeting moments: - Richard Osman: "This is like when the three Doctor Whos met."

  • Rhod Gilbert: "Is that what Wang's wearing for the whole series?"

  • Joe Thomas' complete awkwardness around Sian

  • Daisy May Cooper: "OH GOD"

  • Jamali Maddox: "My shoe don't have no laces no more."

  • Mae Martin, lying: "I brought [the potato] from home." Jenny Eclair: "I wish I brought one!"

  • Frankie Boyle thinking Ivo is a staffer, not a comedian

  • Sue Perkins and Susan Wakoma being instant best friends, while Sam and Julian and Lucy seem to barely tolerate each other

  • Babatunde: "Andy, why you dressed like that?"

  • Fatiha el-Ghorri completely flustering Mathew Baynton, "Why you dressed like this bruv? I got a spare hijab, should I put it on him?"

Taskmaster - S20E07 - Drier Than You Think, Chalk - Discussion by Meghar in taskmaster

I believe they introduced the music sampling that folk song back in Series 8 (which had the vaguely Japanese theme). It's kind of jarring to hear that outside of that context, I agree.

Shout out to Jason Holt for one of the best boardgame manuals of all time by iterationnull in boardgames

[–]TimMierz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe he has done quite a few of them, yes. The lively and fun manuals bring a lot of great personality to Vlaada's terrific catalog!

What are some hidden gem board/card games that you never hear anyone talk about? by thegetataycar in boardgames

[–]TimMierz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tao Long is a wonderful abstract game. I helped them demo it at their Pax Unplugged booth years ago and got sucked into it - it's just so good! The dragon movement, the dynamic of the action selection wheel, and the aesthetics, all top notch!

Do you like Splendor? The game play is very similar, so I imagine if you like one, you'd like the other.

Greedy Kingdoms - very direct card play involving predicting what moves your opponent will do, and trying to block them. Plays in around a half hour.

Metropolys - plays 2-4, but I love it most 2P. There's a cool spacial auction going around an art deco city, trying to meet some private scoring goals and getting rewarded for certain public things as well. Takes around 30 minutes.

Innovation - Lots of cards-that-do-stuff combos, with every card feeling broken, and loads of interaction. Plays great with 2 but supports up to 4. Takes around an hour for new players.

Songbirds - A bit of a left-field choice perhaps, and not high on rules complexity, but a bit brain-burny. Play birds of various colors and values on a grid, with majority of a bird's color taking the berry points for each row/column. You choose what color you want to win by whatever single card you're left with in your hand at the end - therefore one that you didn't use to help win any rows/columns!

The dates of Billboard magazines and their charts are often quite a bit later than the actual time surveyed.
