I am thinking I may play Ariadna, just for the excuse to run Werewolves around and jump on people.

@sherbert, you want me to make you some big stompy robot lists with Haqqislam?

Totally excited, and definitely in!

@JMGraham and @nathonicus  what do you think about the 2-games-per-month format described above?  If it interferes with the Infinity league, we could push it back further.

 

I like the idea, though I wouldn’t want to overlap with the infinity league. I’d rather have that be short, sweet, and focused, personally. 

What's up battlefriends? Who wants to play Infinity!?! I will be bringing 300 points, and I know Andy will too, so we could have a couple tables full off future-doodz games. Who's up for 20-sided dice?!?

I would be in! I definitely want to do the infinity league first though. I also think nine weeks would exceed my attention span Dash around six I think it’s perfect

My sister just turned me on to these guys

Playing infinity with Andy - anyone interested in getting back into it? We will have a sweet table setup if someone wants to get a game.

Which begs the question, why the hell have I never heard of this before?!

When we were covering engineering failures in my engineering class, why were we wasting time with bull[big bad swear word] like The Challenger and Chernobyl? How does the most destructive engineering failure of all recorded human history not even get a mention? 

So that's today's lesson in History, Metal, and Engineering, see you next week! 

As a Nation, we tend to focus less on events outside of North America and Europe. You should bring it up in class!

I just played 5 rounds in PDX, I'm up for another... All my Canadian buddies outperformed me down south, so back to practicing!

Nice! Wanna try Frostbyte? 

Dang, that's doomy and chuggy.

Who wants to play 300 points of Infinitay with me? I guarantee I will be less salty this week.

im not terribly impressed with the new ghost album. its kind of all over the place and does not have a lot of the darker tones that were prevalent in their earlier stuff. 

It has 100% more saxophone solo and a Pet Shop Boys cover.

I agree with your assessment, however, I love it for that reason. It's crazy.

I'm totes down for infinity. What mission?

Up for whatever! Something from ITS?  Something from Uprising? Fat YuanYuan 

Who's playing Infinity with me? 

New Ghost album has some tracks that remind me of Queensryche.  This one starts off slow, then kicks in.

I'm probably out. Gonna do house projects.

Anyone up for some Infinity? I know that the Sword is playing at the Wild Buffalo, but I'm a scrub and didn't get tix and now they're sold out. So someone play Infinity with me! 

Sherbert....

Bears! Charging down the ravine, 
Eyes glowing bright as they tear out your spleen. 
Over the mountains they fly with a roar 
Wherever they go, the bears just leave gore! 

Bears! Standing tall in the woods, 
They'll bite off your face if you're up to no good. 
Claws leaving scars, giant teeth tearing skin, 
Fur on the outside and darkness within! 

Beware the shadows that slink out of sight. 
The noises you hear will fill you with fright. 
Tonight the bears are hungry. (hungry...) 
Tonight you will not escape. (no escape...) 

Listening to you as you say your prayers - 
Evil bears with deadly stares. 
Ripping you apart to protect what's theirs - 
There is no escape from the furious bears! 

Hunters away! Stalking their prey! 
Track deep in the woods, to skin and to slay, 
They'll never catch up to the treacherous bears, 
Leading the hunters back to their lairs. 

Look up in the forest, and what do you see? 
The face of a bear that's watching for thee. 
Stand still, never budge, or the end will come quick, 
Don't make a sound, don't break a twig. 
Many ways you can die, torn limb from limb, 
Being eaten by a bear would be especially grim. 

BEARS! Watching you... 
BEARS! You're just food for... 
BEARS! Death comes slow when you're attacked by... 
BEARS! Live to kill... 
BEARS! Blood will spill... 
BEARS! Children eaten by the giant... 
BEARS! 

Setting a trap will lead to your death, 
You'll wake up in its jaws, you'll stop drawing breath. 
Tonight the bears surround you. (Surround you...) 
Tonight there will be blood. (YOUR BLOOD!) 

Hunters away! Stalking their prey! 
Track deep in the woods, to skin and to slay, 
They'll never catch up to the treacherous bears, 
Leading the hunters back to their lairs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Weaponry

Alien Weaponry's début single, "Urutaa", is sung partly in the Māori language and was originally about a clash of ideas and expectations leading to stress and unhappiness, which was likened to a plague or urutaa (an outbreak). The Maori lyrics refer to events that occurred in the Bay of Islands in the 1800s and what followed after a pocket watch was inadvertently dropped into the harbour. The misunderstanding culminated in the burning of the Boyd, a grim set of events in New Zealand's colonial history. Says the band "This incident is used in this song as a metaphor for the misunderstandings that continue to plague us today – between cultures, generations and individuals who torment each other through lack of understanding."

The band's second single "Raupatu" (released in February 2017) is about land confiscations by the New Zealand colonial government in the 1800s and the unjust legislation of 1863 that allowed it to happen. Their third single, "Rū Ana te Whenua" (the trembling earth), released 1 July 2017, refers to the mighty battle at Pukehinahina/Gate Pa in 1864 where their great great great grandfather, Te Ahoaho, lost his life.^[1]
