Alright, I know at least one of you people out there (*hinthint*) got your hands on it early, but for everybody else, who else is anxiously awaiting this one? One thing I'm pleased with is finding out that it will not have the obnoxious, invasive...

No, I'm afraid they won't really work playing them online, but I want to hear about the drinking games other people have played. I was a terribly square and boring teenager in many ways. I never had much interest in drinking or partying. When I...

There is only one rule. Break it and you lose. When you post, it doesn't matter what topic you use; only that you do not break the rule. Recognize the rule and win. Simple, right? But what is the rule? I followed it here. Did you notice?

Each person tries to follow the path the person before them set out. You start with a beginning article on Wikipedia and an ending article. It should take no more than seven links to get to the ending article. If you think you have it figured out,...

Remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books? Well, I wanted to try something similar in a thread. Since a mod can edit posts later I should be able to link them together as we go along. The rules are as follows: Each entry will have two...

I read this article on Cracked and found it rather amusing: 6 Insane Sports Stories That Will Make You Believe In Curses. Now, I know absolutely nothing about sports. I am, in fact, a sports retard. So, please, enlighten me on the superstitions...

This is a very simple game. One person writes four statements. Three of them are true and one is a lie. The first person to correctly guess the lie is the next to post four statements. I'll start: My garage is actually an old stable and still...

Give me a word for each number here and you shall soon discover the shocking story that will shake the foundations of everything you believe. (1) Name of Mellophant poster (2) place (3) adjective (4) body part (5) noun (6) noun (7) noun...

Every night leading up to Christmas, I shall be posting a new Christmas-y themed image on the board for you to find. I'll even give hints as to where the image might be found. Sounds easy, right? Ah ha! There's a catch. The images are not going...

I keep telling people that every time the Packers win a game God kills a kitten, but I don't think they believe me. And now they're going to the Super Bowl. Sigh.

See, it's like the Oregon Trail only with zombies. I just started playing tonight, but I don't know if I'm going to make it. My party consists of Zuul, Marsilia, Rabbit, hobbler, and Sarah. Marsilia and Rabbit have both been bitten by zombies,...

If you've ever played an interactive fiction game, you'll have an idea about what kind of game this is. A story is unfolding as the game progresses and the player gets to decide what direction that story will take. The catch with this game is...

This is just such an awful story. A 39-year-old firefighter named Shannon Stone was sitting in left field with his young son. They'd safely driven 150 miles from Brownwood to attend the game. In the top of the second inning, with one out and...

This is a fantastic idea for a web series. Wil Wheaton hosts a board game with various geek personalities and then their game is edited into a half hour show. Just this first episode has made me decide I need to get my hands on Small World and force...

Every since I was a kid and in love with "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, I've wanted to write a story that branched off based on the reader's decisions. Text based adventure games were some of my favorite computer games growing up, because it was...

Legends of Zork! It's not too bad for a time waster. I recommend reading this topic in the forums, and the FAQ early though. Here's one of my characters: Zabigail. (Looks like you have to be logged into your account to look at character profiles...

Copying and pasting from chat, cause I'm lazy like that. Zabigail « Wed May 06, 2009 12:13 pm » was pondering on if anyone would like to hear about the cute game I found on Steam the other day Zabigail « Wed May 06, 2009 12:13 pm » It's kind...

Otherwise, I'll hit you on the head with a guitar...KABONG!!!

Better luck next year, guys. Oh, and a special note to Scott Walker of the 'Canes: I hope you contract genital herpes from a toilet seat.

I've been certified for many years, but haven't been in the water in over 10 years. I've decided I'm going to dive this summer, and I wanted to get some advice about equipment. I've got a friend across the street who works for Northeastern...

ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! "...for a performance-enhancing substance" Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Have a nice summer, ballbag!

I'd like to run a game, but frankly it seems like way too much work*, so I'm looking to pawn off most (most=all) of the grunt work on someone. PM me if interested. *I'm a lazy sack of shit. Sue me.

In the Land of the Green Doors, the food is good but the meals are bad. Anyone else been there? Care to tell us something about the place?

The Pats seem preety confident Brady is coming back and will be his old self. Nothing wrong with his arm, true, and good doctorin' should get his knee back to "100%", but I don't think he'll ever be the same. The psychological part of this injury is...

Anyone else here think that the Thursday / Friday games in the NCAA Tournament are the two best days of the sports year? I took vacation days! I usually fill out 2 brackets - a sensible, and an upset special. This year, I see a BUNCH of upsets,...

I need to run a charades game for a group of 14-20, 7-10 year olds on Saturday. I figured 30 suggestions will be plenty. My idea was simple things like animals, vehicles, maybe some movie characters from recent popular kid movies. So I...

This is it, today starts the season. I like my Yankees, the starters look great and the bullpen looks great. The hitters will be good until A-Rod returns and then maybe great. The problem is Boston and Tampa both look good. I think these might...

What do you think, please express your opinion, make your case and/or vote.

This is the example of the one and only done on Domebo . Dolores indicated she would be willing to teach a new host. We could use a volunteer to do so. I'm sorry to say this, but I won't be hosting any more Feuds over here. I just don't have...

Well the Yanks are doing well. They are 8½ up and are healthy with a bullpen that is doing great. Even Mo being out for the weekend is not slowing them down. Detroit seems to be pulling away in the Central and the Twinkies are playing like what...

I'm the wrong person to start a thread on this as I really only follow my Giants and little else about the league. The Giants look good this year. They have many option at WR and the running core should be as good as last year. The Defense is...

My picks and some details: Yankees over probably the Twins. Yanks outclass them in every aspect and can set the rotation as they wish and will be able to use Rivera, Hughes and Joba Chamberlain in every game in relief. This should be a huge...

AJ Burnett is really dealing but Hunter got an excuse me drop-in ball near the Right Field foul line for a double. Thankfully he promptly got Vlad to ground out to Jeter.

Nov. 16- AL & NL Rookie of the Year Nov. 17 - AL Cy Young award Nov. 18 - AL & NL Manager of the Year Nov. 19 - NL Cy Young award Nov. 23 - AL MVP award Nov. 24 - NL MVP award

Free Agent list looks thin. I would bring back Andy for 1 more year as you cannot have too much pitching and one year contracts do not hurt the Yankees. I would pursue a trade with Houston with our young spare parts for Super Two Arbitration...

My wife suggested we pick up a scooter for my son. I have no clue what brands/models are good. I am old enough that my scooter was homemade with skate wheels. Would it be terrible to build one? Too embarrassing these days?

Yanks are pretty well set, Gardner is better defensively then Melky. His off season program has been all about really learning to bunt which is 100% the right thing for him. He could easily hit .290 with a .360 OBA and be a terror on the base paths....

Taking candidates first and then I will add a poll to this. I nominate myself & Skald the Rhymer. Now I myself am an admitted Geek that plays D&D both here and IRL. I am a Tolkien Fanatic and love old Trek enough that I was a Trekkie. I...

That's right, type the first word(s) that comes into your mind from the previous posters word. Here is the first word: Tapioca

The Bears Monday night were nice enough to beat the Eagles. A good weekend for me. My Giants beat the New England Pats despite being big underdogs. My second favorite team was nearly as big an underdog though for less reason in my opinion and...

Finally! This day has been long in coming and we don't even know the reason why. Did ESPN finally listen to their fans or did Morgan do something stupid behind the scenes instead of just on the air? Morgan's contract is expiring and...

So what's going on around the leagues? Give a team report, ask question, etc. Yankees: Didn't land Lee, Pettitte retired and AJ is still expected to be our #3. So Yanks are short a starter or two. I really like Ivan Nova and think he can do a...

Go G I A N T S Today the Giants should be able to win. The have a slight advantage on offense I think and an advantage on defense. If Gronk is not 100% this should go well. So in conclusion:

So for opening day and beyond while we await the season, a list of movies to tide of over? Bull Durham Eight Men Out Field of Dreams A League of their Own Major League Pride of the Yankees Bad News Bears (original) Sand Lot

Has anybody played the PC Game Stalker? It's set in and around Chernobyl in 2012. If so, I would love to know how to get the papers out of the underground lab. I keep getting locked into the room beneath the control room and get "someone is...

Since we've been having trouble getting enough people on IRC to play a game of Mafia or Assassins in the Palace on IRC at the same time, I've decided to try to organize it in advance. I'm thinking around 8:00 PM CDT tomorrow night, but that is...

AllWalker and I were talking about getting seven people together to play the board game Diplomacy in one sitting. (As opposed to playing-by-forum one turn every three days.) I just went by the chat and rounded up three more people, giving a current...
