Started with Ra, but kept restarting as someone new would arrive.  So after one round (where I lost 7 points and someone else had a giant stack of roll-over tiles AND 26 points) we called it.  Then had an 8-person game of Smarty Party with the 2nd expansion pack where at least I didn't come in last.  Then after most everyone headed home for the night, ended with a 3-person game of the Grizzled, a co-op card game based around the WW1 French trenches, which we unfortunately lost.

Only managed two games over six hours, but both were large-ish games.  A seven person game of Citadels.  Which Frazer won, just beating me by 3 points, by being the first to complete a full city of seven districts.

And then it was the new edition of Betrayal at the House on the Hill with the Widow's Walk expansion.  Some of the exploits and flaws from the original edition look to be fixed.  Like you can no longer camp in a trait boosting room to maximize it.  So we had a full six players and eventually activated the Haunt at 5 omens, the Vial in the Servant's Quarters.  By me as the Boy.  The Haunt scenario was a new one, "I, Mutant" where I was a mad scientist sending out assistants to capture the escape "monkeys" aka the other Investigators.  My assistants all had mutant powers and so did the Investigators.  It came down to the wire, with me filling the Research Lab with net traps and capturing all but one of the "monkeys".  Who had smashed all but one point on the lab.  Marcus even managed to fall to a trap after rolling SEVEN dice to resist and getting ALL blanks.  But Alyce, as the final Investigator standing, managed to disable all the remaining net traps and allow the next three players to stand back up.  The next two didn't manage any smashing, leaving it all down to Josh's priest.  And by cashing in everything, he managed to smash the last bit of the lab and get everyone out of the mansion.  Though without a cure for their new mutated state.

Had various friends over yesterday from the early afternoon on for some boardgaming.  Started with Lord of the Fries with the coffee house expansion deck from the Kickstarter.  It took a couple rounds to realize that several items in the combined decks weren't listed for any order for the Ren-Faire menu.  In the end Casey won, beating out Marcus by 2 points...

Then it was Sentinels of the Multiverse, with our team of Not Batman, Not Superman, Not Thor, Not Flash and my Cold/Fire manipulator managed to take down the Egyption God villain team.  We follwed that with Codename an espionage-themed two team competitive/co-op game.  After a rocky first game loss, my team with Brendan and Bryon managed to win the next two games...

After that was a seven-person game of Smarty Party, where I managed to gain the win after some early unfortunate high scoring.  And we finished up the night with a six-player Betrayal at House on the Hilll.  There unfortunate room placement meant that Haunt #13, the Waking Nightmare managed to simply overwhelm the investigators and escape to victory...

I'm offically middle aged now.  Stupid aging.  Stupid stupid linear concept of time that only moves forward dragging you ever closer to obsolescence and entropy and doooooooom...

Back from a birthday dinner at the Texas Steakhouse (or maybe it was Roadhouse).  Loud and slow but good food.  Also peanuts.  They just a giant barrel of peanuts by the door for people waiting and a bucket of them at the table.  Anyway, I had a 11oz rare sirloin with steak fries and green beans.  The beans were sauted or something with bacon and onions, very tasty and I'm normally a take 'em or leave 'em for green beans...

Brendan and Noah came by last night for my birthday. We ended up playing board games, ordering pizza and watching Wizard of Speed & Time. I completely botched up some early purchases in St.Petersburg and did terrible at that. Noah got lucky with a combo of cheap blue product producing planets and a blue market and cleaned up at Race for the Galaxy. Then we had a tight three way game where you're trying to gain control of the crowds of Rome. I can't recall the exact name. Municipalum or something I think. I ended up winning that one though...

Also my cat turns out to be a junkie for corn chips. Brendan let him sniff one and he kept trying to get more the rest of the night. Silly cat...

Remember the deal people. Despite what my degrading body may think is happening I'M STILL 28. Not 35. TWENTY. EIGHT.
lurkerwithout: (Obey me eyes)
We all agree that I stopped aging at 28 correct? And from now on its just for bookkeeping purposes. CORRECT? Remember, 28.6. NOT THIRTY-FOUR. That would be old not young and hip which I OBVIOUSLY AM...

Had to wait on comics until after the family birthday dinner. They grilled steaks. Rib-eyes. With terrayaki shrimp and mashed 'taters. MMmmmmm. Got some more dvds (including Angel Season 1) and cash. Part of which went towards the purchase of comics. Including the most recent Scott Pilgrim book since I've been wanting to check the series out...

But from my regular pulls we've got the next Metal Men still full of crazy science and alchemy and robots beating on each other. And of course sibling rivalry...

Fables then finishes up "The Good Prince" story arc. And Flycatcher totally pulls a fast one on the Adversary and probably gives a significant edge back to the Fabletown forces as they prepare for their new war...

Next we head over to Marvel for Anihilation: Conquest, where Ronan and his group reveal their plan to deal with the Phalanx. And its a pretty good one. If more than a bit of a scorched earth strategy. Sadly things look very, very, VERY bad for our other groups of heroes...

After that we've got a one-shot issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer by Whedon. With Buffy meeting the Man behind Twilight. And dusting a nest of Vamps, making plans to deal with rogue Slayers and trying to convince someone to fall out of love with her...

IDW continues the current Transformers "Devastation" arc, with several of the Spotlight plot points coming to a head. And while the Decepticons battle the alien Reapers, the Autobots head back into space. Leaving behind the human danger of the Headmasters and the MIA Ironhide and Sunstreaker...

And then we finish up with Image. Who have issue #21 of Scud the Disposable Assassin.

...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

Had friends over for a small early birthday party. Grilled some burgers, played some board and card games. Got a couple books, some gift cards and a few movies. Oh and watched the game, mostly in the background. So congrats to you Giants fans. At least you ones who aren't drunk. You can burn! Damn you drunkies!

Anyways, its been a better than average night...

The family took me out for my birthday to Durants here in town. High end steak joint. Steak was very good. I did learn I don't like the taste of gin. Martini is apparantly Italian for gasoline flavored liquid...

Swag: 2 birthday cupcakes. 100 bucks. Oh and that car the family mostly paid for last month...

Well I did not render myself insensable with drink. I did however try my first Irish Carbomb. I think they should have served it in a bigger glass though as there was an excess of splash. Causing some wastage of alcohol, a most grevious thing.

It is now official. I have gone from being Da Man to The Man. Stupid birthday. Stupid aging.

But alcohol causes time to reverse right? 'Cause thats my plan for Friday night...
