just played 'real time mode' soooooo lame. and it's worse than rage-quitting, taker or giver.

| I'll Rage Quit You So Good

This is gonna be the most extreme rage quit of all time. I'm talking crying, tantrums... make sure you record that shit for Kovox 3.

Anyway, my original plans for the weekend are not possible because of some car problems, but the upside is I should be around either Saturday or Sunday day/night to get in whatever part of a game I decide to play.

Saw the new Harry Potter tonight. I liked it OK but my gf was more bothered by the differences between the movie and the books than she has been for any of the previous ones. I think all these movies are something I don't really go in expecting to enjoy that much, I kinda just see 'em cause I want to see the whole series by this point. I thought the new trailer for Sherlock Holmes was surprisingly good and actually want to see it. Robert Downey Jr has come a long way. I would never have believed five years ago that I would willingly pay movie for one of his movies.

A guy in my game group (Josh) is fired up to run 4th ed D&D, so I'm making a character. Yay, I get to play! My character is a dual axe-wielding dwarf ranger named Thorr.

| Double (Baby) Dice!

Doh, ok. Well i guess parenthood does supersede over beer, poker and games on a friday night (not by much mind you!) =)

When your done with your parental duties, look for me on skype. If i'm on my computer, i'm always logged in.

Just a note: People who don't use skype *ahem* cough, I'm lookin at you Jon-boy, I just don't understand the reasoning. AOL, yahoo and msn is for kids!


J.

| No (block) Dice!

Sorry Jael, I'm actually already spoken for tonight! Saturday night should work out for me, with the possibility of afternoon nap time for Wylie on either day. I can't commit 'cause I got Wylie duty most of this weekend with Leslie going in to work.

Does that mean I'm supposed to play Jon next? If you can schedule me a different opponent I'd appreciate it seeing as I have no interest in playing a rage-quitter. Thanks.

Sure hands indeed... you'll be repeating that mantra when your bobblin' the ball all game!

Fridaynight Gametime Special - 8:30 ish. Meet you on the pitch.

| Beastman SPP, indeed, thou knowest thine!

In my first game against Rudy, two of my beastos just happened to only get points. My first beasto just happened to be in the right place for a bunch of badly hurt results, and at least one, if not both, were actually in defense, and the other guy scored one touchdown, and then happened to be following another beasto when that guy was gonna score, then got knocked down and he ended up picking up the ball and scoring again.

The chaos warriors did not play a very aggressive role in that lizzie game, the mostly just stood up and maintained their position tying up the kroxigor and saurus block in the center of the field. They were just meat shields.

I am rethinking my choice of 'block' for one of my beastos. It is such a knee jerk response, but I think I could have used another 'sure hands' now that I think about it...

RE: Rage Quitter, ie Jr0n: Totally sucked. It was shaping up to be a really good game as my beastmen were actually softer than elves. I was about to score (unless my chaos warrior with assistance blitz went horribly wrong) on I think the 6th or 7th turn, and by that time I think I had one badly hurt beasto (from the first turn, MAYBE 3rd block?) and at least 2 or 3 KO'd beastos. Those skaven were brutal! As Jr0n put it, "it was shaping up to be one for the ages". I agree.

| You down with SPP? Yes, you are knowing me!

Break your computer when you play me Jon, I'd appreciate it.

That new Special Edition Monkey Island is sick! You can instantly switch between new/old graphics, so cool! I've totally forgotten a lot of the puzzles too, so it's been good.

oh man.... Have to recount, but I don't think anyone has ever defeated Eric in BB since starting fumbbl. Personally i think he sabotaged your laptop and unplugged it while unbeknowst to you! I'll have to face the firing squad in a day or so and take on the juggernaut. It should be a good fight though, since his SPP points are mostly allocated to his weaker beastmen. Chaos warrs with block would be hell to defeat.

I'm coming for the throne biatch!

| HUGE BUMMER!

Oh man I'm so sad right now. Aeryk and I started our game and it was off to quite a good start (maybe he can summarize, I'm too stricken with grief). We were in turn 6 of the first half fighting a fierce positional battle over whether his Chaos would score the first point, when my computer fucking RAN OUT OF POWER and shut down... I had the power cord plugged into the laptop, but not into the wall... and my "low battery" warnings were getting lost behind the game.

So, that's another win for Aeryk as it counts as a "Rage Quit" for me... as if he had won 2-0.

Boo!

It was fun while it lasted.

Yeah... Digital bits don't quite compare to solid metal minis. It's kinda hard to caress and whisper into my monitor. And you can forget about licking it.

I'm going to try to get BB soon. Been kinda preoccupied about work recently. In that I may not have one. So, either way I'll have time to play or I'll have lot's of time to play, drunk!

Concerned....

This article has made me concerned at how we have progressed. Am I wrong to quote from the movie, when grachus said

Rome is the mob. Conjure magic for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar...

So basically, the governement coos the public by spending 325 million in tax incentives with a lavish "Colliseum". The money which could be better appropriated, when state woes and bankruptcy and citizen hardships are around. wow... now thats egregious.

| Time Enough At Last

It's sort of like that Twilight Zone episode. All this guy wants is to be left alone with his books and once he finally is, he breaks his glasses. After years of mocking, one AT member is playing in a BB league and I am too far away to partake. Woe is me. Maybe I should get another pair of glasses? :P

When I am not crying in my beer about it, I am ELATED that we have a BB league going with the new game! I am scheduled to play against Jr0n this evening to close out Day two and it is totally fun! A few AT members are suspiciously missing from the league:

- Denis? WTF? Though I suppose playing a minis game with digital minis must sort of eliminate much of the fun and satisfaction.

- Enron? Hmmmm?

- Ryan? Did you check the specs on your lappy? Are they too low? Are you in Hawai'i yet? I hear laptops grow on trees there.

| Wow.

99% of the blog is taken up by Blood Bowl talk. There is an online league and Jon is actually participating in a board game league!!!

Eric's dream comes true.

Jon / Aaron: did I leave my oakleys and keys in either of your houses? less likely jons. but i'm wondering if I left it in Aarons place.

let me know. thanks
