I used to be really into buying board games but then realized the expense was not worth how often I got to play them. The best value I got was out of the Battlestar Galactica board game, which I probably played a dozen times in person. And even then it only felt like good value because I set up a play by post version on these forums for it

Folks were complaining about how Risk Legacy was only designed to be played 15 times but then I realized there's very few board games I've played more than 15 times.

afaik The Thing 2011 is a prequel to The Thing 1982 and The Thing game is a sequel to it. The game was originally going to have a sequel that was canned as well.

How does this affect the canonicity of the comic

The key is to have a friend who likes buying them. I only have my two favorites - Ticket to Ride and Agricola. But weekly board game night is hosted by a friend who owns as many board games as the average wii u thread poster had amiibos. He even has his "for show" boardgame shelf and his "private good" boardgame shelf in his bedroom. And his girlfriend doesn't even like boardgames so I don't know how that works.

But we play in a group once a week so his zealous obsession is my joy. The group I play with are all pretty normal geeks. I've met my share of stereotypical literal-basement-dwelling, feminist-hating, 4chan-posting tabletop gamers over the years though.

It's been a while, but after a hiatus, there's a new RCRU patch!


Nothing earth-shaking, but the devs say something pretty big is coming next patch and that they wanted these bugfixes implemented asap. The slight UI improvement is welcome and I can't wait for the next ones.

Turns out the move they fixed for Bruno is a brand new combo finisher which greatly increases his ground options!

Let's do an informal poll wherein we ask children who are subscribed to Pewdiepie their gender and sexual orientation so we can test my theory that good looking people can succeed with lovely content.

So far it's alright, but you can see Nintendo didn't know where to go with FE back then.

if an enemy attacks you on the overworld map, which isn't always avoidable, they can immediately focus on and kill your cleric with no recourse. also all the maps are boring as poo poo

i beat dark souls this morning and it was a very good game and i liked it, and i started playing demon's souls and it''s pretty cool but i dunno if it'll end up hooking me the same way, i'll probably keep playing though

i dunno if anything else in the series will be as hilarious as beating the four kings on my first try just cause a guy invaded and gave me a bunch of titanite slabs when i first started playing so i had a 15+ iaito that i immediately ripped them to pieces with

If you attack the enemy first they don't get the surprise attack. Still not great but it is generally avoidable.

Demon's has a better atmosphere than Dark in my opinion but it's missing a few things that make it as easy to play, most notably shortcuts to bosses are in shorter supply and upgrading weapons is awful. Don't even try to fully upgrade anything, that's a NG+ grind, I beat it with a +7 mace and I gamed some crystal lizards for that.
Well unless you're using the dupe glitch anyway in which case go hog wild.

I played the Lawbreakers beta and it's pretty bad. Low-gravity Overwatch with Unreal Tournament pacing sounds like a blast but it feels like a watered down edgelord derivative of both.

It should just be an HD remake of the original which is to say if you liked the original, this is that game made high res. In any case there's a demo on steam for it that I've been meaning to check out. I played a lot of the original as a young'un.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."



Removing the social stigma from video games as a loser hobby was a bad idea, in retrospect.
