Gang of 4
Just played a long match of Gang of Four online, and it was rad. Also, I noticed that only on the very 1st round did the person with the multi-colored 1 play first - after that, the winner of each round started the new round with whatever cards he wanted. So that was cool.
Fuckin rad game, but the games can go ON forever. Good shit tho.

I'm an uncle
My cousin had a new baby, 5 months. pretty cool. After witnessing the taking care of him action, it seems like a lot of T-R-O-U-B-B-L-E. Especially when it poops.
and i keep calling him, it. not good.
Anyhow, things didn't work out quite as I planned it. Sry for not calling or writing on Sat. I was stuck in Ontario without internet access (dark ages) and couldn't check email or write a blog. Anyhow sounds like you guys role played at mini eric con... nerds.
My weekend was cool.
1) I learned the "make dumpling" skill. I have jotted that down on my character sheet.
2) I stuffed myself with lots of food
3) Played 2 russian campaign games, and 2 of my new Battle ground game. The game played smoothly. I still need more playtesting.

No German Toys In Toys R Us
- Read an interesting thread in the Days of Wonder forums: there are no pro-german toys in Toys R Us because TRU is owned and operated by a Jewish group. Interesting, no? They have pulled virtually all of their WWII toys and refuse to stock Memoir '44, only in the US, it is fine in France, which leads me to believe there is some sort of franchise, multi-national separation exists within the company. But anyway, no games where you can play as Germans (Axis and Allies included!), and no toys that "glorify" or represent Germans in a way that can be "played as", ie a German WWII action figure. Also, its cool to stock Medal of Honor for console systems 'cause you don't play as a German, and infact you murder them wantonly throughout the game, so it's all good.
- I think I broke my toe this afternoon after I stubbed the fucker on one of our kitchen stools. It is teh sucks.
- Mario Golf Advanced looks better than Mario Golf Color, but so far it plays way differently and I am sad. I bought it for the GBA to take to England, so MG can be played on two European vacations, and I will draw my conclusions when I return. But for now, change is bad; like the difference between Sim City I and II. SOOOO different!
- Saturday is the day of games this weekend! With a small 3 hour window of games on sunday for the ex-D&D group. It's a mini-con at Eric's!

Ry You truly got mad Flash skillz
Damn I get frustrated at Flash games. The timing can be so inconsistent on my machine. Its wierd, every minute or so the motion stutters or lags.
I went to Napa/Sonoma Valley with Aimey today for her BDay. Had a good time, tasted some Vino, and best of all I had some Aged Gouda. You might be saying to yourself, what is so great about aged Gouda? Well here is what is so great. We were in a very nice restaurant in Sonoma for dinner... I tried my hardest to clinch it in, but I let one fly. Now, no one heard it, but oh my god. If the Hyperion Sewage treatment plant were a living creature that crawled deep in my bowels, it died their and stewed in its own juices and created a double fresh scent for all to enjoy. Dear god it was rude. Eric I seriously am considering bringing the left over gouda we have down to LA so that I can deliver a present for you next week. Please advise.
Eric/Jon: I can empathize with you both on the ladder thing. Not Theif specifically, but a lot of games handle ladder climbing so akwardly. Its almost as if that part of the UI engine is an after thought.
Bortz
PS Johnny we are going to have to put Memoir 44 to some heavy usage.
