No, I just got electronic catchphrase. I think there might have been a card game version?

So who brought electronic Catchphrase to our apartment in like 2008?

i think i liked the BSG game more once i became a cylon and was basically a spoiler for everyone else

Jesse, Settlers is really easy to learn. It probably takes a few games to really develop a strategy but that's part of the fun IMO.
i feel the need to insert the "a few minutes to learn...a lifetime to master!" thing here

carcassonne 4 lyfe(i have only played catan once and it was confusing...because i only played it once)
― La Lechera, Thursday, 12 January 2012 20:03 (twelve years ago) link
carcasson is the game i get confused with settlers of cataan
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 12 January 2012 20:03 (twelve years ago) link
Carcassone is infinitely better.
I think the bsg game would be more fun with 4 or 5 ppl. It would also take 4 hours to play.

call of Cthulhu owns all these games

Actually I own all these games.

Except Call of Cthulhu.
What kind of game is it?
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Thursday, 12 January 2012 20:44 (twelve years ago) link
hyper-nerdy board game where you collaborate with co-players to try to figure out deep dark mysteries and avoid going insane or dying in various ways
also it's very hard to actually "win"
― long duk dan (dan m), Thursday, 12 January 2012 21:18 (twelve years ago) link
and, as the name suggests, it is set within the Lovecraftian world
That sounds really good.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Thursday, 12 January 2012 21:23 (twelve years ago) link
it's fun but it can be really goddamn frustrating to play for 2-3 hours and then BOOM Cthulhu rises and everyone loses their mind with fear and it's over

Did anyone else get that plowtracker to load?
Since I had my meeting out in the middle of nowhere this morning I have to drive home tonight. Trying to decide if I should leave soon or wait until the rush of everyone leaving early passes.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 12 January 2012 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
I got it to load on my desktop but it took awhile.

The CTA bus system is absolutely worthless. Standing at the stop for the 97 near my house and nearly empty bus drives right past me. Apparently standing directly under a bus stop sign and waving both arms as the bus passes is code for, "no thanks, I'm good, just standing out here for the hell of it, please go on".
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 13 January 2012 14:42 (twelve years ago) link
The sample size you're relying on is too small to reach the conclusion that the CTA bus system is worthless. But I totally feel b/c that happened to me once and it gave me the steaming, eye-bleeding rage.
― Je55e, Friday, 13 January 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
Ha, yeah. I turn into Yosemite Sam and start cursing incoherently and jumping up and down and launching myself into the air by shooting my guns at the ground.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Friday, 13 January 2012 15:55 (twelve years ago) link
hahahahaoh jenny that would be hilarious
― La Lechera, Friday, 13 January 2012 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
Oh yeah, I'm not at all serious that the entire system is worthless, but I was trying to let off steam without relying on the many four-letter words I wanted to shout. Just super annoying.

phillip ordered a cab this morning to get to work and it took the company 45 minutes to finally call him... to tell him that there would be a delay

Hey guess what? I went to the fancy Walgreen's on State St. It's kind of too much ~dazzle~ for a drug store but they don't lock up their deodorant so I will shop there.
