Oh dear god this (NSFW) is fucking amazing!!!! This (I repeat NSFW) was the number two suggested video given when watching the YouTube video of 3 Inches of Blood - Deadly Sinners. Skip to 0:39 for the brilliance to begins promptly... LULZ
Also, this project actually seems like the perfect eLzar job. The Metal thing, not the vagina thing. Or maybe the vagina thing is his bag too, I donno. I don't live with the man anymore.

That's some quality stuff right there! I definitely am more of a fan of the "classic" metal sound, but the couple Aeryk threw in there definitely seem like exceptions, since they appear to be somewhat silly/lighthearted, and not about raping nuns with their own entrails, or whatever. I give it two thumbs up!
And we'll only go a couple hours so no need to make it too long!
I'm pumped!

Rock on Mother Truckers!
jr0n, in that case, my Metal list will be pretty good. I can tailor it some more to get it pared down to predominately old school thrash (e.g. Slayer and Megadeth) and grindcore/death metal (e.g. Bolt Thrower and Obituary). Maybe cut it down to three to four hours. I am pretty excited about the list r00d described for another fantasy themed board game. It would be, in the recent parlance of jr0n, "super appropriate" for Warhammer Quest or something fantasy and RPG like but fast paced and pulpy like that.

I really want to try Lords of Waterdeep! That one has shot up pretty high on the BGG list. And I only played Castles of (Ron) Burgundy once and it was under suboptimal conditions, so I'd like to try that one again too.
DCC: I'm thinking epic-sounding scores mixed with exciting heavy metal. Kinda the audio equivalent of this:

Like, "Rain in Blood" would fit in there nicely, not so much the sludgy industrial music we listened to during JP's Werewolf game. I can definitely make my own, just thought someone might feel inspired.
Bummer you can't make it Farturo. The most I've ever seen you/hung out was like 2 minutes at Enron's wedding. Start planning for man-named related event in early 2014.
I'll bring this sweet bluetooth speaker we got ourselves for christmas. Sounds really good and the technology is pretty impressive. Not perfect by any means, but it works really well.
I'll also bring my meeple-pimped Lords of Waterdeep, Castles of Burgundy, and a handful of other newer games.
What kind of soundtrack does DCC need? I found a ridiculous Pandora station that's called "epic soundtracks" that's just these ultra heroic movie scores like Braveheart and Lord of the Rings. That could work unless you wanted something more specific.

Busty ManCon
Boo fArt! Well maybe you can make it down for KublaCon 2013. Hopefully we will be in full attendance this year. Guys? Memorial Day weekend. SFO. Games. Do it.
I am afraid to say I will not be adding much in the way of games for ManCon. I will be the game leach :/ unless Jon you know of anything I should bring. Although maybe I can bring some extra shoelaces for r00d.
jr0n, what kind of sound/music are you looking for? This is probably r00d's area of expertise, but maybe I can help a bit.
What is the game plan for transportation? jr0n, I think you mentioned you would be coming down Friday afternoon or eve. Correct? I will have to check on Motobyke as to what his plan is. I also think he was a Friday departure, so you two may be able to carpool, but I could be mistaken. eLzar, where you planning on leaving Thursday morn/afternoon? If so, maybe I can hitch with you via SJ Caltrain?
Are the LA dudes planning on getting up to Cayucos on Thursday eve like last time?

Well shit.
Looks like, despite doing awesome at work the last few weeks, I'm not going to be able to make it. We've just gotten approved for loan mediation / modification and our representation has told us that all non-essential expenditures have to cease until we complete the mediation process. Meh. =(

I like the cut of your jib
I'm glad that you got Space Cadets! I'm really looking forward to trying it. Also, looking forward to RULING at Dreadball again!
Here's what I'm planning to bring:
DCC RPG - I mean, of course. Finishing Sailors on the Starless Sea shouldn't take more than 2 hours. They say you should never GM drunk, but I intend to prove them wrong. Ja-el, you are going to have fun! Maybe this would be good to do Friday night?
Star Wars LCG and X-Wing - also got these, also think they look fun! Would love to be taught X-Wing since I haven't read the rules yet!
Eclipse - This is an epic space 4x game that is short for what it is (~45 min/player) which is supposed to be the bee's knees. If 2-3 other people feel like putting in the time, it would be great to have this hit the table.
Escape: Curse of the Temple! - 5-player board game that plays in real-time (10 minutes!) with a crazy soundtrack and lots of hectic dice rolling. Should get better with more players and more alcohol.
Plus random shit TBD.
Also, I might be alone here, but I'd personally like to break out Rude's copy of Risk Legacy and reveal some more crazy sekrits!

Man Corn
I have a small grip of new titles to try out at this years ManCabinAPlanCon:
- While we are likely too old for this because of the lasting damage and downtime it would cause us all, I kickstarted DrunkQuest and received the game on New Year's Eve! It's a fantasy themed drinking game where one player reveals a monster card that takes x many sips to defeat, then it goes around the table with other players playing effects on the card to increase, share, split the amount of sips, then the last player is left to play a card then either defeat the monster by taking all the sips and gaining levels and treasure (which are played on other players) or running away like a baby. There are boss cards where everyone plays together and has to each take the number of sips, too. I think we could do it and have some fun if we kept the sip sizes small.
- Space Cadets - like a boardgame version of SpaceTeam where each role has a different sort of mini-game that contributes to the overall mission - Engineering, Weapons, Shields, Helm, Captain, etc. Sounds fun!
- Star Wars: LCG - Looks fun!
- X-Wing - played a few turns against myself and definitely see some potential for beer and pretzels sort of fun, with a twist of tactics and maneuver.
- The Hobbit Card Game - a lil trick taking game with characters and damage
- Cthulhu dark - a SUPER simplified rule system for running Cthulhu games. Super simple like no combat rules, but a Fiasco like twist where you can force a player to try and fail if you think it would be more interesting to the story. The time it would take to get started would be about 10 minutes. Did I mention there are no character sheets?
Dreadball - Got my custom BB-esque board ready, and three starting teams painted up (sure, they are just BB teams, reappropriated, but still).
Dominant Species: The Card game - NOT AT ALL like the boardgame. Played it a few times with Leslie and it was fun! I think with 3+ players it will get more interesting, and even with 2 it was a good time.
A man a plan a mancon panama awaits!

Well according to Wikipedia, Auld Lang Syne is a Scottish spelling for "old time's sake." How fucked up that we use that song for an AMERICAN HOLIDAY, what the fuck!
The wife is reading Storm of Swords, and I keep checking where she is in the book as she gets closer and closer to... THAT PART. (Hint: wedding.) She's like 30 pages away at this point. Yeah, I think she'll be reading late tonight.
A belated Happy New Year's everyone! Hope we all have a good one, Auld Lang Syne as they say.

What in the fuck is an Auld Lang Syne???
Happy New Year!
Wish all of you and your families an awesome 2013! One of my main goal for the new year is to be creative and do stuff that's fulfilling for my life. Music, games, movies, whatever's clever. Make stuff, basically. I hope you all have some great goals to work towards and look forward to seeing you all at Man-Con this month. Hope you're all being safe and sane.
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp !
and surely I’ll be mine !
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
(Whatever the fuck that means - I'll put down a pint in the morning when I'm not at a police station celebrating the new year with murder, domestic violence, and methamphetamine reports!)
