Actually what the gently caress is he sitting on,it's like an arm chair that someone took the arms off and then brass plated the sides of. Is there no government building in the world with normal loving interior decor?

Bobby Deluxe posted:The minis that come with the dark souls boardgame look pretty cool and I want them, but the game is £90 and apparently garbage to play. A guy at work loves Dark Souls and raves about it, got the board game and all the extras to go with it, and after two attempts to play (one at work, one at home) he put all the models in a shelf to look at and put the game bits in the attic and tried to forget about it. Not a good game.

Dead Goon posted:Wow, 110+ for a boardgame. It's also a 10kg box and 150h playtime for a full campaign, so it's kinda justified as far as consumerism goes. E: speaking of Gloomhaven, there's a lot of kickstarter games with insane prices cause they come with a ton of miniatures though.

Private Speech posted:Well it's complicated, quran does have parts where it warns people about listening to others who say that some bits of it should be ignored. But one of the recorded sayings of Muhammed is that there will be at least 72 sects of islam after his death, and quran even approves of people practicing it in different ways, while it very much disapproves of any other prophecies after itself. the same thing exists in Judaism too, it's where the old joke "2 rabbis, 3 opinions" comes from

Jedit posted:He's even wearing an overlong tie like Trump. Who the gently caress looks at that mushbrained fucknugget and aspires? It's not really a Trump thing, it's a fat bloke thing to try and obscure the gut overhang, and a douchebag thing to point the tie at your dick. Given both Trump and Boris are fat philanderers there's bound to be a degree of convergent evolution.

If you don’t have a two finger gap between your belt buckle and the tip of your tie, you’re doing it wrong and look like a proper twat. Trump and Boris are exemplary twats.

My experience with Islam and alcohol was at a BBQ in the middle of the Omani desert, where a lovely man who must have been objectively shitfaced based on his volume of intake, explained to me that it's being drunk that's haram and if you don't act drunk it's all good. Interesting place, Oman.

it really depends on the cocktail, if you're drinking Woo Woos or Sex on the Beach it's basically a double with juice which won't do much unless you're a massive lightweight however something like Long Island Iced Tea which has 4+ different spirits in it can definitely gently caress you up a bit if you have 2 quickly, especially if you're somewhere where they free pour and you're on good terms with the bar staff  e: on the subject of alcohol this sounds absolutely terrible

Aphex- posted:He's gonna do what I did in secondary school once when I forgot to do some homework where I brought in a floppy disk I knew was already corrupted and feigned surprise when they checked it. "Ohhh noo... my homework that I totally did was on there..." Hahaha, yuuup. Took a random .dat file from some game, renamed it to 'English essay.doc' or whatever, they open it up and see loads of random characters. Or just the old empty disk. Barry Foster posted:I really enjoy day drinking but does anyone else get where you feel like absolute poo poo a couple of hours after a couple of pints? Like the hangover kicks in and you spend the rest of the day feeling muzzy and headachey I dunno if it's getting old, I had this happen to me when I was 22. Went on a ski trip with uni to France, and because we were all poor students, we took a coach ride which lasted |24 hours to get there from Stafford to Les Arcs. I think we set off at something like 4 or 5 am. This was of course going to be poo poo, so I and some others decided that it was a good idea to get through the journey by drinking. Some people started pretty much straight away, some only when we were on the ferry. I think I started at about 10am. I had a couple of bottles of Raspberry Kick (tesco own-brand red bull) and 35cl bottle of vodka. I can't honestly remember how much of that I drank but it was more than half so at least like, 8 shots of vodka. I think I stopped drinking some time in the early afternoon, and by about 10pm the booze was wearing off and a waking hangover was starting to kick in. This nicely coincided with us starting to ascend into some mountains, and also the bus's heating was broken so it was only fully on or fully off and I was next to a heater. I've gotta tell you: It loving sucked, don't do that.

Maybe they've managed to reduce the bulk in the third edition? Mine was 2nd and it defo was  It's more or less the size of 4 Risk boxes one on top of the other  Also shipping was 10€ in my case, but as with everything kickstarter, your mileage may vary depending on the hub they're shipping from. GH had 3(4?) shipping hubs, the EU boxes have been shipped from Germany.

The Dark Souls boardgame is okay, but it needs tweaking to be less random equipment wise and grindy. That said, I'm going to be selling my copy as soon as I can be bothered to photograph it, because it's not really what I wanted from a DS game.

It's fast, easy to play, and fun, if a little unbalanced. It's a good thing to have around like Love Letter for when you want to play board games with people who aren't expert board gamers. Dixit's also good for that.

It's a game with a good reputation, and playing it once or twice shouldn't damage it noticeably. Decide for yourself whether it's a keeper or not.
