Fluxx is a great game, I like that the change and also I love the fact that they have expansion sets that allow you to add to the deck! What a great idea!

No, I've only been to Hawaii once, for business. King's is actually made in Torrance, Calif. My roommate in prep school got me hooked on the stuff. You can find it almost anywhere -- Freddy's, QFC, etc. Mary Kay had some challah at the party last week, and my joke was that either it was Jewish Hawaiian bread, or the Hawaiians are a Lost Tribe.

The thing I like about Flight Sim is just how big the user community is doing add-ons for it. I have a bunch of freeware planes, and one plane I bought from a German software company (of all places) -- it's a flight sim version of the Boeing 314.

Yup, the roll-your-own add-ons are cool.

They've also released a bunch of one-off special cards at various gaming conventions. Back at Orycon, the game room had a deck with a bunch of 'em included, clearly collected by someone over time.

OK. You can stay, based on the high amount of overlap we have, although I'll fight you for the last drop of Springband in the bottle.

But no Pit? That's terrible! It's my very favorite game in the world!

"OK. You can stay, based on the high amount of overlap we have, although I'll fight you for the last drop of Springband in the bottle."

"Can stay" sounds awfully definite. It's like I'm staying already, or something.

And you don't need to fight me for the last drop of Springbank. I would almost certainly give it to you... unless you were interested in some fierce mock-battle, or something.

OTOH, you might need to fight Ulrika... :)

"But no Pit? That's terrible! It's my very favorite game in the world!"

* {ahem} Very favorite? ;)

* And besides, ¿Qué? What's Pit? I haven't been living with a gamer god for however long... Do you mean this?

Yes, that's it! You get to holler and yell, and when you corner the market on someting, you get to ring a bell!

Of course, it should be pointed out that most people who've played with me tend to think I need a some amount of sedation.

That's what the single malt is for, right?

Or... Have some Medeira, m'dear...
