The Weekend By The Numbers
0 - Games won by Eric. Also, the number of miniatures I painted.
1 - Games played of ASL (won by Enron).
2 - Games of World of Warcrack played by Eric and Heather. Eric lost as both the Rogue and Mage combo (in PvP combat), and as Warrior and Shaman combo (Heather beat the boss after I lost to him the round before!). Heather was the warrior/paladin the first game and the paladin/hunter the second, fyi.
3 - AM/PM coffee's consumed.
4 - Number of Warcasters I have for Khador. I still have yet to play an official game of Warmachine that consists of more than Denis and I squaring off across a 2'x2' board with no terrain. Go figure.
10 - Dice included in the new Khador dice tin by Gale Force 9 games, which was picked up this weekend by me along with a Platoon Transport Bag, Commandant Irusk, and Vladimir, the Dark Prince.
14 - Level of my new Priest character in WoW. Kirin Tor server if anyone wants to join me. His name is Brothersimon.... a perfect compliment to my level 11 Night Elf Rogue, Ro....
34,453 - Calories consumed this weekend eating turkey fixin's, pie, pizza, beer, eggs, bacon, Islands Hawaiian Burger, Back Home at Lahina chop steak and spam musubi's, and more pie.

The unbeatable 'O'
Man that Art guy is an ass. Geez. Well, I can say it is pretty frustrating that someone who does not follow hockey has been a force to be reckoned with in the league. Bass. On the otherhand it gives us something to achieve.
Rude: The George R.R. Martin experience was brief. By that time he had been signing books for the better half of two hours and the line behind us was still building, so he didnt have much time to chat. He did seem nice and didnt have a problem with us taking a photo. He seemed gracious when I gave him a compliment. His signed note was cool, "Winter is coming". He definately did not look as bad as that picture on SA. He seemed slimmer, much less sickly, generally jovial.

Assholo-mio:
I am sorry Art. I meant that post to be more tounge-and-cheek (well, at least the second part of it for sure) and as I re-read it, I sounded more like a complete dick. It was really venomous, and I didn't mean it to be like that. 1,000 pardons... please forgive.
On a less serious note, I am leaving in a couple of minutes to run a 5-k called the Turkey Trot. Usually I would rather go to the dentist than run at all, but the good people at Jefferson Middle School saw fit to sign me up for something I will undoubtedly hate and will suck at. I will be sore very very soon. :(
Have a good Thanksgiving one and all!

Before that brilliant picture is lost in the flame-war over hockey, I gotta say that shit really WOWed me last night! It is a classic - can't believe you guys refrenced that pic from SA - so good. Was he cool or was it a real quick "hi how ya doin buh-bye."?
Got that game 'The Movies" so gonna become a famous machinima director someday. Maybe they have college courses for that.
Finally caught the season finale to ROME and fucking-a, what a great great great show! Wow. George RR MArtin calliber WOW at that! Spoilers: Cesar gets stabbed a shit load of times. But mans, they managed to show cesar and pompeii defeating the gauls all the way up to his stabbage in the senate in 12 shows. And it never really felt that rushed. Really highly recommended show for y'all! LIMPBIZKIT YALL!

I understand how the points/ranking system works.
What I have no grasp on (for lack of functional up to date hockey knowledge) is when I am presented with more active players for a given position than I have slots for, and should be basing my decision, in part, to start/bench a given player based on his match up against his opponent that particular night.
So, yes.. there are indeed matchups to consider. Matchups that I posess zero working knowledge on. I'm sorry I made you upset, but I think your anger/frustration is misplaced and without a legitimate foundation.

I swore I wasn't going to post on this...
but, Art... oh my God. You still don't understand the hockey league? Dude, there ARE no match ups! We are all playing against each other! We are scoring points based on the rankings in the categories!
Please, please, please read the rules that are on Yahoo! fantasy sports page. I wouldn't be so annoyed except that for two reasons: 1) I feel like Eric and I have sufficently explained this many times, and 2) YOU ARE FUCKING WINNING! If you are going to kick my ass at something, I want you to know why!

Jorn and Enron...
...have the only picture that will matter to you. Wait until you see it!
And True Dungeon sucked so bad that some of us are going to write nice, detailed, action-suggestive, positive, constructive emails to the people who run the whole thing letting them know just how lame and disappointing it was. We WANT it to be good, we really do, but there is no denying it, they just didn't try this year.
It was teh shitz.
Warmachine Fever
To aid our new obsession with Warmachine, I give you Warmth. It is a kick ass army selector program, that can export to .pdf that has damage boxes and stuff written right in! Fun to while away the hours trying to find the perfect mix of troops vs. points!
