Diablo users!
The actual installer is now working! Bit of a hefty install, seems to have to download quite a bit past what the downloader did, I've been running it about 20 minutes so far.
Ah for the days when staying up until midnight was a feasible option for me. Sadly 10 PM is now my bedtime.

Warmachine = Doomwhaaa?
Do you still have Doomtown cards? You don't have some of mine by any chance, do you? I've still got two big boxes of cards, but the third box, that should have my Dudes and faction Home cards has been AWOL for years. Whither my precious Whateleys?
Anyway, I'm a bit surprised you can't sell the models off. WM is pretty popular these days. What are the minimum bids you're setting and what is your S&H?
One thing to be aware of is the battlegroup boxes are plastic now so demand may not be as high for the metal ones. Then again, enough people prefer the metal battlegroups to the point I don't think it should be a tough sell. Which leads me back to wondering if your minimum bid is too high.
Of course you could always, you know, play the game as God intended, which I'm sure would make your friends happy. ;P

Your First born Child! ...no wait... that cliche was already used in a movie. I'll look through your games later and see if there's something we can trade or something. Also u have to help me sell the stuff. I already tried to sell the warmachines online, but nobody wanted it. period. I listed it like 4 times. Warmachines = Doomtown cards.
M44 is a cool game, but it's just like Battle cry, if I ever get to play it that is. I could demo it for you one of these days and it will be the first time that the game will be used! (clapping with anticipated excitement!)

Well keep in mind, Rude's diet was primarily Slim Jims and salt licks, with a refreshing glass of ocean water on the side.
Battle cry - rejected, would compete with my copy
Warmachine - rejected, selling stuff I gave you would make me very sad ;_;
Memoir 44 - might take this off you actually. I think this is the best C&C game. What do you want for it?

No man, I've lost almost 10 lbs! 1 lb would be horrible and not worth it, lol. This is also more than just about weight loss and more about overall health. We'll chat it up this weekend when I try to indoctrinate you, but salt is wicked bad, yo.
Yeah, Sat around 10 should be cool, ya? I'll be the orange-skinned dude with the hemp sandals.

Jron, That's a mighty list of games. If I see you before your big sale event, I will consign to you a couple more games to sell as well, Battlecry, Memoir 44, Warmachines starter kit, Warmachines longgunners to add on to it.
Rude - Saturdays good, same bat time and channel? We can continue the Twightlight struggle onslaught and test Version 3.1416 of my Dungeon Crawl game. Also bring the Kindle and Ipad! I've just downloaded a million apps from the itune store. It's more addictive just to download the apps than actually using them. As for diets, it's cool you lost a pound! The thing about diets though is the sustainability and that's really the problem. Like I was on a all 80% protien/fat diet, and had to get tons of meat from the supermarket weekly. Then when I went to restaurants or vacations in other countries, it just wasn't practical. You'd achieve the same weight loss effect by sticking to a 1500 calorie diet (eat anything). Just make sure you count the calories!

Diablo 3 is installed on both my machines, ready to make Aeryk sad!
I am sorta obsessed with Android, but it is certainly a flawed gem which badly needs a second edition. I think/hope all the emphasis on that IP will lead to that down the road.
Net runner was a great game! Rude, I think the "Deckmaster" thing is that was the name for Richard Garfield's line of CCGs, which only turned out to be Magic and NR.
I think NR was a moderate success, it was definitely a good game, but I think it had a couple problems. First I believe it could be "solved." And there wasn't a lot of design space to keep pumping out expansion after expansion, so they put out one or two then that was kind of it.
MAN I hope FFG puts Doomtown out on LCG format. I'd spend SO much money.
Have you guys followed Descent 2nd Ed at all? I'm pretty optimistic about it, it looks like they are trying to solve a LOT of the issues 1st Ed had:
Long playtime (campaigns with short levels are the norm now)
Stalling tactics (overlord no longer needs to delay and build threat to lay cards and win)
Easier LOS
Monsters spawn at fixed points rather than dicking around with LOS
XP for both heroes and OL
It appears your guys now get knocked out and have to be revived Gears of War style rather than doing the Diablo style respawn in town (which I recall was Aeryk's major pet peeve)
So basically 2nd Ed will be the best game ever and we'll never have to buy or play any other game.
Re my board game list, yeah a lot of that stuff is hard to get rid of, but I rarely see anyone these days and need the shelf space, soooo... new homes for all!
Aeryk don't just give that shit away, put it in the auction!

eLzar, that is a pretty sweet, scraggly beard. Probably better looking than mine would be, LOL. Unfortunately, I cannot be a heathen at my work. No playoff beard for eNron, booo... I have been keeping my mouth shut about the Kings, but damn is it super exciting. Talk about a turn around late in the Season.
r00d, That sounds really tough. I did a similar diet a couple of years ago for about a month and a half and it was really tough, but at least I could eat oils. That sounds crazy hard. Good luck, I hope you are able to stick with it.
jr0n & eLzar, I will probably have a few to add to the pile. Not too many though. I got rid of a lot of my stinkers. eLzar, you need to do what I did, just throw the rest on the balcony for the next guest to discover (GOOTMU & 6 Billion). Never looked back on that decision. Look forward to seeing you jokers on Kubla Friday.

That's a mighty list of games Jon! Hope you and Eric sell everything. I'll be soon moving in with my lady and have to consider my meager game collection. After an initial buying rush, I've been pickier with my purchases the last year or so. Size really matters (that Kickstarter OGRE box, jesus - 14 lbs!? No thanks), so I've been sticking to games on the smaller size. Arabian Nights has been out of print for awhile I think, so I bet you'll get a decent price for it!
Eric, the lady who sits in the cube next to me is a massive Kings fan, so all season I've been hearing about it. She's gotten to go to 2 games these playoffs, so she's been super stoked. She's got all this Kings shit all over her desk like the towels they give out at games and other weird memorabilia. I still don't follow sports, but it all sounds pretty amazing! Been a long time.
Jael: Let's kick it this weekend! This past weekend was crazy for me so didn't have much free time.
Denis: Android Netrunner sounds interesting. It's so weird to me that FF is pushing the "Android Universe" so hard. Was not a fan of Android, but the art and flavor text were top notch, so I assume they wanna milk that shit for all it's worth. I don't know my Magic history, but I read off hand somewhere that the reason that all Magic the Gathering cards have the words "deckmaster" on their backside is somehow related to Netrunner. Anyone know what's up with that?
Silvia and I have been following this diet book called "Eat to Live" which is basically a vegan diet. Kind of intense but I've been losing about a pound a day. Not a very FUN diet, but it's very nutrient-packed and healthy, so even after the wedding I'll hopefully follow some/most of it's tenets. Here's the basics for each day: 1 lb of raw veggies, 1 lb cooked veggies, 4+ servings fruit, 1 serving nuts, 1 serving a whole grain (oatmeal, pita, brown rice, etc). NO oils, salt, dairy, refined sugars, or really any processed food if it can be helped. The salt was the hardest thing to change and I still miss it, but my taste buds have been adjusting. Been making my own salad dressings and discovering all kinds of goofy and delicious veggies that I've never had in my life.

Western Conference Finals
Of course in celebration of the Kings continuing playoff run, I am growing a playoff 'beard', as best my poor unmanly face can withstand anyway.
I want to make a shirt that says "This IS my playoff beard"

Kublamos
I see a lot of familiar faces in that list o' games - sooooo many ill advised purchases in my time...
I'm down for some Friday - Saturday Kubla action, me thinks. I will probably drive up Friday morning and just work from the hotel (I work from home on Th/F). I too have crates and crates of crap to offload and I'm seriously considering whatever I don't sell I'll just leave in the lobby with a 'FREE' sign on it. I'm tired of having this much shit dragging me down.
As the minutes tick by, my Diablo 3 regret-o-meter rises...

Kubla Krap
I'm interested to hear what you have to think! It took me about 45 hours to go through the game, which seems to be a bit on the slow side from what I've heard.
Enron and I are definitely renting a room for Friday night at Kubla. I'm planning to divest myself of a bunch of games -- if you're interested in any on the list let me know. I haven't done any price research yet.
Arkham Horror + Innsmouth Expansion
WoW Adventure Game (includes a few of the character expansions)
Battle Cry (1st ed)
Cosmic Encoutner Hasbro/AH (pretty sure this is worth NOTHING since FFG's current version is very popular, but you never know)
Santiago
Tales of the Arabian Nights
Acquire (I have both the Hasbro/AH, and an older AH version)
Diplomacy (AH version)
Alhambra
Citadels
Rune Age
Cities of Doom (x2, weird dice game, one is sealed)
I'm the Boss!
Nexus Ops, 1st ed
Risk: Godstorm
Samurai (Knizia, first edition)
Duel of Ages
Wizard Kings
Adventurers: Pyramid of Horus (includes the painted figs)
Gears of War
Doom + Expansion
Dragon Delta
Death Angel (includes 2 POD expansions)
Frag Deadlands (hot item, I'm sure)
BSG
Mutant Chronicles the boardgame (aka Rectal Fortitude the game -- thanks Enron)
Legacy of Glory (some weird Napoleonics rules I won at Kubla last year -- sealed!)
Runebound 2nd ed (includes 2-3 mini expansions), + Island of Dread expansion
Combat Commander (just never play with anyone but Aeryk, and he'll NEVER sell that shit)
Mansions of Madness (includes 2 POD expansions)
Carcassonne: Hunters & Gatherers
Bang!
LotR Confrontation (small box)
Blue Moon
Starship Catan (the 2-player card game)
Boomtown
Hive (wood version)
Serenissima
Scarab Lords
Dungeon Twister
Cars Wars Deluxe
Game of Thrones 1st ed (man, I REALLY should have sold this before 2nd ed came out, might just keep it actually, great game)
Battlestations
Evo (1e)
Ricochet Robot
LotR board game (includes both expansions)
How to Host a Murder!
Titan: the ARENA
Battletech 4th ed
Lots of junk, but some gems in there too!

I have to finish ME3 - I'm barely an hour into it. Seems fun and can't wait to finally see the end to get what all the fuss is about.
Saw The Avengers - loved it! Awesome movie, best of those Marvel flicks. Written and directed by Joss Whedon, ya baby. I also wanted to see his Cabin in the Woods movie from earlier in the year but I think it's come and gone. I'll catch it on video.
