it’s a really fun game, particularly for families at the holidays. i like that the game goes pretty fast, so you can rope family members in for a short game, and also that it’s collaborative instead of competitive. you’re not playing against each other, but against the disease (which typically wins, which isn’t so…

has anybody else been listening to the news about this and envisioning how a game of the tabletop game “Pandemic!” plays out? this morning’s news about one of the infected people going through LAX had me thinking, “omg, THE POTENTIAL DISEASE VECTORS THERE!!”

i signed up for Tony Hawk’s awhile back because it sounded fun and i wanted to see what he would do with it. he doesn’t send stuff very often, and besides, it’s Tony Hawk, so i’m happy to support him.

i’m swooning.

my god, haven’t they traumatized enough generations with the original by now? i can’t imagine what a new version is going to do.

funny that you assume i didn’t.

wow, Aerosmith are a bigger group of dicks than i thought.

that was my experience, too. but i kept being pulled back to trying it, and once i got past the first rather biblical part, omg. it’s soooo good.

doh, that’s correct. it’s been awhile since i read it. my bad.

that’s what i was wondering, too. sure looks a lot like him!

i think it takes everyone more than a few tries. it’s DENSE, and not for everyone.

it’s not a really a “conspiracy theory.” they are one and the same. elves live a really fucking long time — just ask Elrond and Galadriel.

seriously, don’t believe that line — your vote really does matter. i’ve seen serious outcomes hinge on a just a handful of votes. every one counts.

if you think your vote doesn’t matter, they have already won.

not even HE took is Randian lyrics seriously.

seconded. if you haven’t seen it, it’s a must-watch.

that video is so great -- it really captures just how FUN their shows were. they were definitely serious, accomplished musicians, but they had a really playful side, too, and they always goofed around with each other onstage and with the audience.

i swear, this was every Gen-X Rush fan. i didn’t take up any instrument, let alone drums, but in my head i was right there like Nick on air drums. his dad shaking his head at the end, omg, so real.
