Saturday Morning Gaming: Gloomhaven

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skdk6tK7MtQ

One of the members of the gaming group gathered up all of the Amazon gift cards he got for Christmas and picked up Gloomhaven.

This is an *EPIC* board game for 2-4 players. And when I say "epic", I mean that this is a board game that will probably take about 100 hours to beat.

If you played Descent (the board game, not t

They Stole My Batman

Every afternoon as a kid, I would run home from the bus stop, to watch my Batman. If you weren’t an early adolescent during the mid 90’s, Batman: The Animated Series (“TAS”) aired from 1992 to 1995, and it was brilliant.

Weekend Plans Post: not the beginning, but the end

A lot of my weekends that aren't specifically devoted to a special event of some kind (Christmas, birthdays, company event) are blissfully similar to each other.

There are chores to do and errands to run. Laundry must be done. Groceries must be purchased. Sure, there's usually a lot of free time mixed in there and laundry has a lot of free t

Roger Stone Gagged, Again

Roger Stone did a very stupid thing. Judge Amy Berman Jackson wasn't amused. Ruling that Stone "fully understands the power of words, and the power of symbols. And there's nothing ambiguous about crosshairs," the federal judge modified the indicted Stone's gag order to ban him from any public statement about his case outside of "fundraising and proclaimin
