Forbidden Planet: I didn't actually enjoy it hugely as a film, but it's a great one for historical perspective. The influence on Star Trek alone was immense. Honestly, this feels more like most of the stereotypical depictions of Star Trek than any actual episode of Star Trek that I've seen.

Also, Leslie Nielsen before his hair went white. That kept weirding me out the whole time.

It is definitely better if you have studied Shakespeare.

I may do inventory when I get home.  My favorite one is the Oregon state outline embroidered on the bag.  I know currently I have over half dozen various size purples. A couple unique purples, a couple greens. Dunno what happened to the blacks.  My old man drank a lot of crown, I think I left most that collection in Kentucky. 

Your pops drank Crown Royal in Kentucky?  I assumed that would be a hanging offense.

Between Two Ferns: the Movie 8/10
I am not a huge Zack Gallifaknickknackpaddywhack but this movie had me laughing all the way through.  The guests stars are truly hilarious.  The sequence with Peter Dinklage is worth it alone.  Dinklage once again proves that he is a god among us mere mortals.

Pledged! Good to see a KS with reasonable pledge levels.

It amuses me that Lovecraft probably would have found the 1986 adaptation far more horrifying than his original story, given that it added in a bunch of psycho-sexual stuff, which he had issues with at the best of times XD

I need to rewatch that.  Haven't seen it 30 years.

He's great. Have you seen Game Night? He's absolutely hilarious in that too. 

Yup.  That guy does pure sociopath like none other!

Agreed. I was pretty apprehensive, but I got pulled in. It was clearly a fan service piece but didn't feel that way. It stood on its own merrits.

The guy who pays Todd should get an Oscar.

Dang. Sorry. Hang in there. Praying for a quick job search and job upgrade.

Yeah, sure, correct the psychopath with an axe on his vocabulary.

Frankly, I'm pretty sure that I do that on a daily basis.  I have had some truly scary students over the years.

MOX Bellevue has a whole tournament room that could be used.  Don't know about scheduling, though.  You might also check Heroic Knight games.  Frankly, I could probably host a 3 table get together at my house.  But you would have to bring the pizza and beer.

I'm a librarian. Answering questions is so engrained it's nearly instinctual.

I'm a teacher so my instinct is turn the question back on the asker: "Well, what do YOU think is the answer?"

See, that's what I like about JJ. She's someone I can identify with pretty well, other than the super strength. Different strokes for different folks. It did get a bit overwhelming in this season at points, but in general, it's something I like.

Agreed.  You mean super powers don't automatically fix a lifetime of abuse?  Shocking.  I remember enjoying S1 but as the episodes went on, I had the growing horror of realizing exactly what it meant for JJ to Killgrave's slave for so long.  The fact that she doesn't go full-on killdozer and destroy entire city blocks out of rage shows her strength of character.

I haven't even find a 3e rulebook yet

Are the 2E mats useful at all in 3E, or did they change enough that they don't work? I have one sitting in my car currently, seems a shame to toss it if someone else can find a use for it 🙂

Me! Me! Me!

Guild is all I have played. I loves me some fascist gunslingers.

I actually know very little about 3e. Just started listening to Third Floor Wars to get into it.

I used to use Dashiel extensively but his 3e version might not be my cuppa. Maybe Hoffman?

Yes.

You need a Faux Grid. Plain and simple. 

So which ones do you suggest?

That I beat him at OFCC? Seems worthy of note.

Malifaux is the only have that would seduce me away from 9th Age.

That unit had 31 modes when it broke. That was a LOT of dice throws.

Ha!  

Another fantastic weekend!  Always great to see old friends and make new ones.

I'll be the guy with Orcs and Goblins. Nothing ride. Just lots and lots of greenskins.

How late will the game hall be open on Friday?  I’m hoping to grab a pickup game with a patient opponent who will tolerate my rules rustiness...

 

I should be around Friday evening and could use the practice.
