	Literal Jazz Hands!
	We had friends over tonight to play some Cards Against Humanity with new cards I'd just picked up. One of our friends also brought over the game "SuperFight", which we quipped was "Like ComicCon, but without the lines". I was willing to play it, but I've been to too many ComicCons - I figured it was going to get pretty tedious, pretty fast. It actually was pretty hilarious however, and we were laughing more for this than we were for CAH. After a long argument through one of the fights, I quipped "I'm a nerd, I've argued stupider!" As an example of hands - my first fight hand was "My significant other" "Shooting Shotguns of Shotguns" which seemed to have a pretty good chance of defeating the hordes of hippies at Burning Man in a big hamster ball with too many groceries that had rolled over all the other hands. But when I had to choose my random adjective, I got "Literal Jazz Hands" and my SO was rolled into the giant hamster ball. :( canyonwalker managed to win the game with the Kardashian's riding Mr. Rogers with a 200 mph fast ball vs my K-Pop star who shot blinding light from their hands and a fire hose of super glue. All I'm saying is, if you can have a game that involves the wrongness of the Kardashian's riding poor Mr. Rogers, you gotta play it! talons / Rake your talons / Link This entry was originally posted at http://merhawk.dreamwidth.org/547882.html.

	It's either made it or jumped the shark
	It's all about perspective, right? However, I think we can all agree that the fact that there's a Settlers of Catan book now out there is just utterly wrong. While I'm glad the game became so popular (I recall playing the original German version in the late 1990's with sticky note translations on the cards!), this still is making my eyes bleed. talons / Rake your talons / Link This entry was originally posted at http://merhawk.dreamwidth.org/543740.html.

	Not a nerd?
	One of my (under 30) employees was doing some video game testing on Friday night. I'm not 100% sure why she volunteered to do it (extra money, most likely), since she seemed so discombobulated by the people she was testing with. She ran back into our office to grab a jacket after she'd started the testing, and started talking about how "nerdy" these guys were. When I mentioned that I was a nerd too, I got a "No you're not!" She then recited all the tired stereotypes about nerds (stays in the basement, plays video games all day, overweight, male, etc) and kept being incredulous when I mentioned "I play games", "I read comics", etc. I finally asked her if she played any games other than the one she's testing, and she said "Sure! Taboo, Cranium, etc". ROTFLMAO. I'm planning to use Pandemic in a few weeks to teach some of my employees about how teamwork is necessary to succeed. It'll be interesting to see what she thinks of actual board games, not party games.... talons / Rake your talons / Link This entry was originally posted at http://merhawk.dreamwidth.org/538890.html.
