Pope Guilty posted:Illuminati is the ultimate friendship-killing game. Absurd Alhazred posted:Diplomacy. Agreed on both counts. Has anyone here managed to get a game of gently caress You, Buddy going? The game Nash came up with at Rand. The directions I can find online are sort of vague and don't seem to cover all possible moves, but it's possible that I'm just dumb and need to try it out. Edit: Oh, I just found a wiki page under the title So Long, Sucker which seems to have more concise rules.

I've heard that roo meat is tasty but extremely gamey and thus takes a lot of effort to prepare decently. Also going out and trying to cull one is probably a big no-no these days, and they're too heavy to 'accidentally' hit with your ute. moccasins thylacine AFL kokoda

nutranurse posted:Do Australians actually herd kangaroos in lieu of sheep? Incidentally we've got more sheep than almost anywhere else in the world. E: It doesn't take much effort to prepare; just a little bit more than beef. It's low fat which means you need to cook it fairly rare, and be careful it doesn't dry out.

This was between 2008 - 2013, so basically a camel holocaust.

I recently played Diplomacy with some of my friends and now I can't help but think that one of them is constantly scheming and manipulating me.  First time ever playing and I end up as A-H, immediately forge an alliange with Germany, no Italy player, and we're stuck between two BFF ladies as England/France who write in each others diaries and two histrionic backstabbers as Russia/Turkey, Russia steadfastly refusing any deals and Turkey as the ingratiating triplecrosser, co-dependently bickering their way across the Steppe.

Sometime I call him Greeny, sometimes I call him Red, sometimes I call him Cane, sometimes I call him Dairy Queen. The same director made a film about chickens for PBS which is totally worth a watch.

Ladies and gents, can anybody please explain to me the appeal of that loving awful "I'm Living a Life of Dreams" song that plays during the current wave of Apple ads? When did we as a culture decide that weird flat monotone singing was good? And why won't these drat kids get off my lawn?!

extremely lo-fi folk/acoustic music is a thing, i kinda like that song but i can see why other would object. i went to a lot of shows with this style of music in college, its kinda weird to see it in apple commercials in 2014.

Field recordings own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBoH3AjO1QA Warning: Field recording. Also, blaming "kids today" for a commercial you saw on television is weird because I don't think anyone under the age of 50 watches television outside of a streaming/on-demand context. moller fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Aug 1, 2014 |

i unironically enjoyed that thank you for sharing it speaking of HIPSTERS!!!!!! i remember getting really mad in like 2006 or so when black metal started getting written up in pitchfork and because i look pretty hipsterish i was afraid people would question my authenticity at shows. being 19 was cool. e: err uhh to clarify what i mean is i had been listening to black metal for years and didnt want all the kvlt longhairs to assume that i was some interloper looking for a new fad
