Yeah man, interestingly, the kid seems more outwardly normal than his parents are, he's socialable, expresses himself clearly, and has some pretty ambitious goals planned. He shared that he would like to start an internet/software company and had a few ideas about that with his friends from school. Gee... i wonder what I was planning in high school... oh yeah, to RULE THE WORLD muhahah..

but seriously the immesurable psychosis damage done to that kid growing up with all those games... His astronomy class would be Space Hulk 3rd edition. But they are nice country folks actually.

Truday - no 21 year olds huh? what about those skeletons in the closet? Ur probably hiding in the basement playing World of Warcraft under another druid character alias, hoping that Jon and Eric doesn't find out your insane addiction. Last time I remember, didn't I try to call you out one weekend, and you were gonna try to get dennis, so we can play some heroquest? I don't think I ever heard back.

New orleans here I come! First time I'll be there, will be interesting. Then it's off to vegas for the weekend.

Jael never wants to come play with me :( I don't have any awkward 21 year olds lurking in my basement, but I do have many adventures for my cool friends, cool guys! COOL GUYS! :)

I've been watching a bunch of Games With Hayden boardgame reviews and they just crack me up. It's totally adorable and hilarious at the same time. Elrick's son will soon have to choose if he goes the agro pro-gamer Hayden path or the anti-fun Jael's new friend's creepazoid son path. :)

Dropped by a pomona gaming group this saturday. It was hosted at a private house, the husband is a ex game designer from Interplay but currently unemployed. Tough market. The wife works for a government agency. Anyways, between the two couples let's just say it's how they got so MANY games. Wall to wall, no room for decorations, family photo albums, hobbies, you know, the important stuff in life. Instead, it was decorated with boxes of cardboard joy and wooden and plastic pieces. Their 20 year old kid hates playing board games.

Jealous of your man-con :( Have fun!

Google Map Fun -
Go to google maps, get directions: japan to china
LOL

Check out #43 on the directions, ha.

NaNo is going well. It's hard but I've had a few good moments with it. I'm writing horror, and while most isn't overly scary to me, I freaked myself out pretty bad one night. That was fun :)

Super Meat Boy for XBLA is hilarious and fun but also insanely hard in ways that N+ couldn't come close to. You can unlock the ninja from N+ (plus characters from Braid, Castle Crashers, Bit Trip, and some other indie games), so that's a bonus. I'm glad I got it but it sometimes makes me so furious.

Let's get together at my place around 11:30 (I assume you guys will be hammered by then). Try and stay clear-headed enough to play some Space Alert, I've got a mind to play it! Bring Dungeon Lords too, and we can declare it Vlaada Chvatil day! "Vlaada, you made a game"

Denis, Aeryk, any need for some (slightly used) Sabol foam trays? This shit needs to get out of my house!

| ZOMG

The pending arrival of Denis to our humble abode has me all giddy! Leslie and Wylie both have work/school on Thursday and Friday so it will just be Denis and I mounting up for some hot dice on table action all day! We don't really have any sights to see in Aptos, and who really cares about the meth kids in Santa Cruz, therefore its all games all the time!

Other than a lot of WoW being separately played with headphones on in the same room, any idea for a grand gaming scheme for the SF arrival of Denis and Eric on Saturday?

SIDENOTE: Anyone want to brew a serious batch of homebrew and sort of start doing that regularly? I have a batch fermenting in the closet from a kit and have been reading a few books on the subject, it seems like a totally geek-meticulous thing that we have sort of missed going through the years. I know Enron has some experience, and I know that Jon and I pretty well ruined a batch 10+ years ago, but anyone have any interest?

It's a fascinating and very creative endeavor, it seems. And you get to drink beer and name/label it!
