Hey Eerik, that's a 2nd ed? Jael has it listed as a 3rd ed. I don't know the difference between the two....
Ogre!
I randomly checked the Cheapass website and they've got an Ogre Diceland coming out! The Ogre die is 4 inches! Sweet! I have not made a gaming purchase since my WoTC orgy, but I believe this needs to be included in my collection.

Me wanum travel
So, yeah, at first glance things look good for going to S.F. on the 5th-6th. Eerik, are you in? Anyone else? I assume it'll just be me, loning it up the five with my tape with the one song on it that I like, so that's cool. Oh! I also have the tape with Rudy's R2D2 song on it. That'll be good to hear, too.
Space Hulk... I say sell it Lee. The thing is, we have plenty of copies of Space Hulk. I have a copy of Space Hulk, Genestealer, and Deathwing that I'll let anybody who wants to use it use, anytime. Yeah, it's second edition, but... I dunno. I guess it would be different if it were a unique game. I can't blame J. Le for wanting to pick up a little $$dough.
Toilet
I used the can tonight and after flushing it I noticed that some kind of small winged insect had fallen in. The poo poo had already gone down when it fell in... only a little bit of paper and the insect remained. I was overcome with anxiety. I hate to feel responsible for killing things and drowning is a grim way to go, being flushed down the toilet by an uncaring Mighty Man is even worse. So I tried to save the bug. Yes, I reached in for it. Splash. Didn't get it. Again! Splash, missed it. Again! Splash. It's gone.
So, that was sad.
So, yeah, I can't wait to come by your apt and put my hand in your toilet, Johnny!
Big Coffin Hunters
I get it, Rude! :)
Oh... so what ended up happening on Sunday? There was a mysterious email from Denis about 10mm Dungeon....

The Thing is...
Thats a supar rare 2nd edition Space Hulk, which is why it it so coveted. I covet it, Aaron covets it, even Jon covets it a little bit (I Think), and the ebayers covet it. SO that is why we all want it and would I would hate to see it leave the group, but I also don't want to pay 40 bucks for it, so whatever hapopens happens I guess. :(
Load BB on your laptop! We must finish a a game! We were so close! Also, log onto FUMBBL.com and join the group I have invited you to. Denis is invited and anyone else can join too, we can have a mini league with stats!

DUDE CRACK WHORES!!! =)
nuts... here I am trying to get away from game addiction, and you guys are snorting up the games like crack!!! Well... that's fine. =) although, you know what eric, I don't mean to be a reneger, but dude, at first I didn't think i'd get ten bucks, but now space hulk has only been on ebay for less than a day and a half, and already the bid is up to 36 bucks. It's a little ludicrous for me to turn down.......... i don't know man..... i'll be 36 bucks richer on ebay... =(
Aaron, since i know settlers will also fetch a pretty penny, I'm not going to shove it on ebay and get tempted as with space hulk. We'll do a trade when you come next time. (hopefully for sexual favors)

Johnny... Are you sure?
I mean if you are, I will buy Settlers from you. I have been wanting a copy for a while but just could not justified $40 for a new one. Ummm.. if Eric does not want Space Bulk.. Damn I will purchize it from you. It is just too cool and too rare.
Johnny: I would be up for some action jackson that weekend, but I am working that saturday from 7:45 - 4:15. After that I think I would be game. Ill keep you posted.
Jon: Rule! Congrats on getting your story out. Hopefully it is the begining of a long career as Jon Oetersen, the zombie writer.
In other news I got a promotion at work. Bizarre in that our job is over in December at the latest, maybe later, and training will last a couple of months. Anyway I will be doing system testing on consoles we support. No longer will I be playing games at work. My wage goes up too.. Rule! Gotta run to Aimey's B-Day dinner.
Yay!

Congrats on the book J-Man! Super cool! Can't wait to see a copy. I did a search on Amazon.com for your name, and all that came up was "Lonesome Dove" ??? Eh! Anyways, cool! You should most definately do the book signing thingy- sounds fun.
Spectating Blood Bowl was ok. I think it'd be funner to 1. Play and/or 2. If I had a better understanding of the rules, etc. Will try it out against one of yous soon!

YAy! it's great that you are now an official author in the wide world of publishing
so now you are officially a published author. congrats!
I haven't read a Mad magazine in a long long time. I used to remember buying them at the supermarket, the first i read being a parody on "Gremlins". no not 2, gremlins one. So that discloses my true age.
More on News:
I'm going to be selling most of my games on ebay by the poundage! (gasp) No i'm not nuts. There are just some games that I enjoyed in youth, but know that I will never play anymore, or have no desire to replay. Such as Axis and Allies (gasp), axis europe, Space Hulk (countless hours of fun with Jon), and others. So I'm giving you all a fair crack at it. Normally I wouldn't charge you guys, but here's the deal... It's based on a need only basis. If you REALLY REALLY want it and will truly enjoy having the game, I'll sell it to you cheap, just as a token. but honestly i would rather like to see some happy kid who earnestly wants it to derive enjoyment that we used to enjoy as kids. A little utopian? perhaps... it may just rot in some kids closet or transform them into a game zombie, but.... that is the curse. So Eric had dibs on Space hulk.. (how's 10 bucks sound?)....
List:
Settlers of Catan
Doomtown cards (lots 2 boxes)
Firestorm (unopened)
Space fleet
Mutant Chronicles
Napoleon Battles (avalon hill) miniature rule game
Space Hulk 2nd ed
more games to come...

Mad Magazine Parody: The Incredible Blecchh
Saw Hulk today and it was what I'd call an interesting failure. I would have rather seen it than any number of other brainless, less-ambitious movies, but... it didn't quite gel. I was excited to see what Ang Lee did with the movie, and his more talky take on the superhero genre was interesting, but the script just didn't hit the notes that, when it comes down to it, you want from a movie like this. The Hulk wasn't quite mean enough; Bruce Banner wasn't quite reserved enough; the big action sequences lacked visceral punch; the ending was none too good. Oh well.
(Update): One funny thing about the movie was that the evil army general in this movie was played by Sam Elliot (the Cowboy in The Big Lebowski). I kept expecting him to say, "Well, sometime you get the Hulk, and, thank you, much obliged, sometimes, well, sometimes the Hulk gets you."
My copy of the zombie book came today
So yeah, I'm published now! Right on.

Yo La Mango
Hey folks. Well eerik, hope you checked your email this weekend and got a CoC game going today. Yes my friend, you have a more-than-willing group of gamers to tap into, you know them well enough now to get together with them without me, game well my young son. Anyway I've been pretty busy lately. Friday I went camping (and when we tried to leave Saturday morning, the car battery was dead--did I mention we were camping in the trackless desert?). Yesterday I got home barely in time to shower up and get going to a Yo La Tengo concert. Which was awesome. Lots of their songs are supar-mellow, and they started off with those, playing at such quiet volumes that when my friend dropped his keys, you could actually hear it. Gradually they ramped up the amps and by the end of the show it was the near-deafening volume you expect from most concerts. It was at a pretty small place (the Henry Fonda theater) and there was a real sense of intimacy with the crowd. It was really, really cool.
Today I've already helped my dad put a radiator in his truck and read 70 pages of the new Harry Potter book. (Admittedly that's not really "busy.") What I'm actually doing today and this week is trying to go through all of my stuff, of which there is a lot, to see what I can sell on eBay, what I can throw away, and what I can save. If I'm going to Hawaii in mid-July I want to at least have the option to leave promptly upon my return. I figure after next weekend I'll have things pretty well-in-hand.
Some of those zombie guys have already received their books on Monday, and I haven't got my free copies yet! Whatup with that! I also got an email from the editor saying that Eden was thinking about having a signing booth for the books at GenCon and if enough authors were going. "Uh... I'm Jon... I wrote the second-to-last story in the third book... um, yeah."
Until next time, defeat the monsters and don't forget to collect their treasure!
