Why do I not remember Surge being that bad ass? Shit I'm tempted to find something else for you now cus the only problem with him is he doesn't put the glasses on. If he did that he'd be perfection!

Anyway sleepy time. Gotta wake up early tomorrow and grind out a few more goddamn stories. Next year I'm starting early so I'm not pounding away in the last three months. This is balls.

I've never been in any of the contests.

 

[remy_lebeau8]

Fuck man, that's extreme. And you didn't get electrocuted and die. Utmost respect.

As far as the band thing, stories like that are why the sports team name thing is confusing. People tend to err on the side of being too PC rather than not PC enough. That's awesome that they got to perform for the president and be on TV and stuff tho.

If you know what breaker to shut off you shouldn't get zapped. I tested the plug with a multimeter after I cut the power to be sure

 

[remy_lebeau8]

Can cards against humanity be included here?

 

[Sean Renaud]

Tis a game is it not?

I'm not a huge fan of it mostly because it seems like the requirements to win are equal parts luck and an intimate knowledge of your fellow players and I only see that game brought out at parties where half of everybody doesn't know the other half so it always boils down to who got "exlposive diarehhea or bubbling butt sores" and nothing else really matters.

It's still a fun game don't get me wrong it's just I get annoyed looking at my hand, I can't just dump my cards to get new better cards so I end up doing a combination of playing my "good" cards hoping to snag a win and trying to dump my terrible cards on hands that I know I can't win.

If you make sure you take a shot ever time you lose the game can be fun though.

I always throw down the card that amuses me the most. If it fits the question even better.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Exactly, but since sex and poop are funny a lot of times it doesn't matter what you have if someone has one of those. Mecha Hitler gets his destroyed by butt warts every single time.

Like I said I still enjoy the game. I just wish at the end of each hand/round you could dump at least one extra card so you can draw better cards.

Bend the rules. I got stuck half a game with prey the gay away. Theres no funny way to use it

 

[Sean Renaud]

Yeowch that card does suck.

Normally I'd agree with breaking or bending the rules, just I'm usually playing with at least a few noobs and I usually try to play by the rules before twisting stuff for people. That way you can just hand them the rule book or what not.

If you has people to play with Seven Wonders is usually fun.

 

[CandiCame]

How is "Pray the Gay Away" not always funny?

I did once get "Kanye West will produce his next album by raping over the track of _________"

"Kanye West".

 

[CandiCame]

Speaking of board games, if you want to know who your real friends are play fucking monopoly. We used to get high as fuck and play that shit (I have the nintendo version) and even high as fuck somebody would get mad as hell. Somebody would start screaming that somebody else wasn't building evenly across the mushroom kingdom and there was no way in hell that any hotel in the Lost Woods was worth $500 a night and that it was bullshit and they weren't playing anymore.

Plus you get some intense bargaining going on with that shit. There's going to be somebody under the table trading land properties like they're pokemon cards and eventually nobody knows who owns what.

I've never played a game to completion.

 

[CandiCame]

I used to play UpWords with my roommate in college, which was better than scrabble because you could cover other people's letters to make new words. But as anybody who's ever read anything I typed knows, I can't spell for shit. Plus, our friend Jo lived next door and would cheat like a motherfucker. I caught him taking the blank tiles and writing on them with a sharpie under the table. He could mimic the font perfectly. I feel like all my boardgame experiences are way more intense than they were meant to be.

We used to play "Strip upwords" with that...

Well a guy I played with was put through it so ya there was nothing funny in it. The best one was what does grandma find creepy yet attractive?

Grandpas ashes... wrong on so many levels but fit perfectly

First, Monopoly just gets boring after a certain amount of time. The game is really hard to end an ultimately was designed intentionally to be a time sink. You have to remember that at the time the game was designed not only were most people still fresh off the farm but between the East Coast and shit being snowed in for days at a time was still a thing for these people. Personally I'd go for a long hike in the woods and die of hypothermia but that's just me.

If this fucking Dewgong doesn't learn Signal Beam and my fucking Espeon doesn't get Morning Sun soon I'm gonna lose my shit by the by.

Back on subject I used to play one annual game to completion on New Years, because you know we were gonna be up all fucking night anyway so why the hell not? Also we'd kinda play it in this sorta half way where everybody was playing Pokemon under the table, DnD on the table and Monopoly kinda on the side. Now of course there was an almost logical reason for this. DnD often breaks down for long periods of time where only the DM and one other player are actively doing a goddamn thing so the other 3-5 players need something to keep them busy but not too busy. Hense Pokemon because they can pick it up for a few minutes do something and then focus back quick. Monopoly was just a habit of the day.

Hey Candi how come there are no new sprites?! I want a Luchadore!

 

[remy_lebeau8]

I used to play phase 10 and axis vs allies alot. You think monopoly was rough try axis vs allies.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I never got into Axis vs Allies. Isn't it sorta like Risk though?

Risk always pisses me off because I without fail end up either next to that guy who just won't leave well enough alone and you end up burning through a lot of resources because you can't leave him alone and you also can't wipe him out so you're constantly forced into this weird dance trying to keep away from what he wants while keeping up your resources in other places. Or on a good day I end up just in the wrong place when someone turns in a set and the best way to their goal is through me.

What I do like is the new (or new as of like three or four years ago) Risk game that has objectives. Though sometimes some one will really snake the shit out of you on something and you won't notice that they need to take over two capitals or something and you've just cleared a path for them or something equally disheartening. Still overall tis better. There is supposedly a newer version but I haven't played it yet.

Ya it was like risk but ww2 era. There was an extra board that would give you the pacific theatre. Fucker took up a whole table. You had a navy as well to manage. Games could go for days

Fuck every bit of that.
I hate Risk so much. There is no game that I suck at more. I am way too paranoid; I can't make allies. I just trust no one. And then I wind up cowering in my bunker alone sipping poison like Hitler because I run out of resources and I can't deal and I can't attack and I can't defend and I would just rather die.

I do miss my D&D group hardcore tho. In the scenes where I'm not there I would just smoke weed and listen to my friend's stories so that I then had a lot of non-player knowledge, or, as most DMs call it, the exact opposite of what I'm supposed to do.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Yeah as a general rule we don't allow people in the room if they aren't part of the current scene to prevent that from happening. Just sometimes it's not really necessary.

My last D&D game is what I based my long-running story on. You'll notice that my character is a really observitive stoner. Because I always had out-of-character knoweldge and was stoned.

 

[Sean Renaud]

That's at least interesting.

 

[remy_lebeau8]

woo rocksmith!

 

[CandiCame]

Also, I taught my little brother how to play Magic.

Fuck magic

I always sucked at it

 

[Sean Renaud]

You didn't suck at Magic, you had a shit deck. There is a difference. Hardly anybody sucks at Magic if they put just a little time into it and then build a deck that works around how they think.

Congrats on teaching the little brother Candi. Now make sprites! You've been lazy all day!
