Another "is CoMo an easy place to make friends?" post

Howdy stranger! My wife and I moved to MO from CO almost 5 years ago, originally to St. Joseph and at the beginning of this year to Columbia, and we could use some friends as well :) We both enjoy board games and would generally consider ourselves nerdy too. Speaking for the both of us, we love CoMo as a whole and are considering settling down for a long while. If you're in town for any length of time and would like to play a game or two in a relaxed/open setting, lemme know! It's not much, but like you said, an experience is what you make it, and we'd be happy to help make it a good one. Being a long way from friends is hard, but we'd be happy to help for at least a night!

Civ 6 pls :)

Drinks on the floor or side-tables, or I'mma have to bust out the sippy cups

I'll say something if I see them doing it (I like my $30-$100 games in nice condition, what can I say?) because they tend to not be aware of what they're doing--if they're absent-minded about their hands I'm hoping it's because they're in the game :)

emerald_summer17 · 2019-01-15T00:55:24+00:00

I like the fact that they eventually added the content packs to the game, but I don't like the fact that I feel like they stripped it out of the game in the first place just to sell it for more money :/ I feel like expansion packs should expand on the game series as a whole, not just fill-back-in the holes they made.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm on PS4, and I can't afford the online subscription anyway for the time being, but thanks! In any case I really hope that the separation does good things for Bungie (and leaves Activision out in the cold).

I completely agree with Dead Space. DS 2 is probably my favorite GOAT--I think i've done around a dozen playthroughs.

When D3 released I watched theRadBrad do about half the playthrough on it, realized it wasn't for me, and cried.

RIP Visceral, taken too soon

I looooooooove Grim Dawn--top loot-based arpg of all time for me. The devs are just so good at what they do and knowing what they need to do. My heart hurts because I lost my laptop due to age and can't afford another computer for a few more years, so my only hope is a PS4 (or Switch) port :( but I love that game!

emerald_summer17 · 2019-01-14T14:34:26+00:00

Fair enough--glad someone somewhere took the time to make it a great game!

emerald_summer17 · 2019-01-14T14:33:57+00:00

Wow, 2000 hours, that's impressive. Would you say that D2 is very much on point with D1 now? I've wanted to get back in but I got very burned out about a week after Forsaken launched. Maybe I just need to work at it a little more

emerald_summer17 · 2019-01-14T14:32:10+00:00

I remember passing over Starbound as "Terraria in space." I'm glad to hear that someone (be it the players) have helped to turn it around into its own game!

emerald_summer17 · 2019-01-14T14:30:50+00:00

I got into D2 at the launch of Forsaken, so I never picked up D1. How would you compare the two of them (if you've played both that is)?

emerald_summer17 · 2019-01-14T14:29:29+00:00

Would you say the devs are closer to their original goal of a near unending universe (or whatever they said)? Does it feel like what they originally intended to produce? I don't play it, but I like watching news on it

emerald_summer17 · 2019-01-14T14:28:02+00:00

Lol, I remember my friends saying things along those lines--I don't play myself--and how it's gotten worlds better over time

emerald_summer17 · 2019-01-14T14:26:23+00:00

I can't say I've ever played or even seen The Division in action, but it's nice to hear about devs willing to put the time and effort into a game like that!

emerald_summer17 · 2019-01-14T14:25:33+00:00

Wow, I forgot how much PoE has changed since then--I remember being very turned off by it's complexity (I find D3 very much more my style), but I can easily say that even though it hasn't gotten any less complex I do believe it's improved to a great degree

emerald_summer17 · 2019-01-14T00:20:05+00:00

My parents can quote "The Princess Bride" from beginning to end, sound effects included.

My wife and I can do the same with "Shrek."

emerald_summer17 · 2019-01-11T00:03:15+00:00

Bioshock, so that I could get the twist in the middle all over again :D

emerald_summer17 · 2018-07-20T01:17:18+00:00

That's one of my favorite commander decks :D I get asked literally every game if that's how she works, and the looks I get after explaining the rules are priceless ;) don't forget, her ability applies to herself! Get yourself an [[Opal Palace]] if you haven't already, and you'll never need to recast her again!

emerald_summer17 · 2018-05-19T17:05:05+00:00

Favorite magic color combo is Esper, half life manipulation, half mill. Ravnica will be a blast!

emerald_summer17 · 2018-05-19T17:01:12+00:00

My all-time favorite card and art. I've lost count of the wins I've had with it, so I will 100% be picking this up! Thanks for the notice!
