Fix

Somewhere a magical land is holding an emergency meeting to come up with a proper landfill policy.

Sure, Kevin.

I will also be looking to get rid of Nurgle stuff, if you want to double down.

I will actually make a golfing game that will actually involve physical violence. It will be like slugbug, but everytime anyone says "Joey" you have to punch a guy named Joey and there are, I guess, some dudes playing golf maybe but they might have recently stopped playing golf. And every card will be of the suit J so you have to say "I'm playing the 4 of Joeys" and everyone else in the game will get in a line and start icing their knuckles because this has literally been going on all weekend because the tournament rules. They're so extensive. TLDR: I enjoy or can't avoid physically beating Joey for excelling at video golf, and invite others to take up the practice.

Representing the north side!

We just got the word in that Jim's board game Dark Curios made the finals at the Kublacon convention in San Francisco this weekend. Playtesters will rate it over the course of three days and we'll find out on Monday whether it placed 5th-2nd! Good luck, Jim! *winkyface* My game, Kingmaker, made the finals as well.

Wait. What? But. I. Wasn't.

Shoe was good! We were pretty much alone and rowdy. Food was ok, beer price was good (not sure about selection) Fries were pretty good!

Nathan should play Joey. I'm mostly going to watch tonight.

Kevin is going to play Infinity?!? Nathan says he'll prolly be down.

You playing Christian this time around? He didn't get a game in last week. Or is Nathan going to make it out, I wonder?

I understand that I am playing Infinity perhaps? I could also be convinced to play Destiny. Oh! If anyone has some spare minutes, could I maybe round up a crew to try out space poker?

The whole chain is going under, it seems. I was down in Burlington this evening and the store there was closed as well.

Rise, thread, from your grave! Looks like we may be on the prowl again, gents. Word is that NYP may have shut down.

Did we arrange something? Or did you somehow schedule me to play against Christian or something?

Yes, but I'm bringing a bunch of angry Kazaks as backup, so be prepared for whatever comes with that.

Joey, fight me.

I listen mostly to political news and media criticism shows, but I like: Radiolab - science and philosophy reporting. On the Media - Media criticism of current events. Pod Save America - the relaunch of Keeping it 1600 - lefty political news from some ex-Obama staffers. Intelligence Squared - a genuine debate show with two teams that debate national issues before an audience that then votes for a winner. Bombshell - a few State Department/diplomatic corps economist women discuss national issues while getting increasingly drunk on bourbon. Slate's Political Gabfest - It's slate, but it's got John Dickerson, who I trust. Whistlestop - one of Dickerson's other podcasts, wherein he puts modern news into an American historical context. The Weeds - seriously grognard in-depth technical conversations about national policies and law. No Agenda - More of a fringe right news/media criticism show. Very zoo radio, but impressively produced on the fly. Uhh Yeah Dude - great comedy podcast from a couple of dudes that basically just scour the internet and USA Today and riff on it. They're doing a live show in Seattle in a couple weeks. I think both Kevin and Joey are going. Wish I could. If you want a show that can roll from a touching tribute to the death of one's grandmother and the regret about not being a better grandson directly into "so what do you know about neanderthal pornography?" this is a show for you.

I can Armada.

Definitely out this week, but can be down for beers, assuming NYP still does actual beer anymore.

Gonna be getting down late tonight. Perhaps not even till beer thirty.

Anybody who wants to read the Horus Heresy might want to check out the new Humble Book Bundle. Comes down to a buck a book.

Sure, I'll give it a whack.

Gonna sound like a broken record, but that's a nice beaver you've got there, Jim.

Bring dem SW dice, too!
