There have been some comments made about how the blue eyes were handled. At the time a number of options were considered...including doing them digitally, even given the state of the art of computer effects in 1983. But it was just the fact that the state of the art was so young that the idea had to be abandoned. Blue…

This is my experience too— as I saw the movie when I was a youngster before I was capable of reading it. :)
I sort of loved Lynch's Dune. Saw the movie and read the book when I was in my teens and have re-read it and re-watched it time and time again.
I loved the movie, I read the book because of it. Thanks for the great work.
If it's a casual meeting, then it'd be horrible wrong to pull out your Arkham Horror or Battlestar Galactica. Get a Jenga, CaH, anything story-creation-based or extremely physical that can be setup and played under the limit of time you think you'd play, so 30min-1h in this case.
When you gather six people around a table to specifically boardgame, you expect people to boardgame. When you gather six people around a friday night for kicks, sure, i can understand if somehow boardgames get into that discussion that they won't be played seriously.
There's a certain saying about pots and kettles you might want to look into.
So you are the obnoxious friend of a friend everyone wishes their friend would stop inviting.
The video isn't actually portraying an authentic video editing process. It's meant to symbolize that process inside the context of the video itself.
It's a music video, not a tech demo.
So, you showed the best game of 2012 as the banner image without context. Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game is brilliant and the game has only improved with each expansion. Also, Star Wars: Edge of the Empire (a pen & paper RPG) is off to a great start.
Go to boardgamegeek.com and revel in the detailed info on board games there. They have some top lists.
Small World is an almost perfect port.
As a fan of the original release of Netrunner, I got the biggest nerd boner when I heard Fantasy Flight Games got the rights to bring it back. Especially since they released it under their Living Card Game setup, which is just a fantastic way of handling card games.
I would say this deserves a place on your list...
Aww yeah. Pathfinder: Adventure Card Game gets my vote for game of the year. Our group has been replaying the classics (Thunderstone Advance, Ticket to Ride) and games we just plain love (Road Kill Rally, Last Night on Earth, Warcraft Adventure Game) so I can't comment on too many more brand spankin new games.
Go get it. It's only $30-$35 bucks and it's pretty good.
Definitely check out http://www.shutupandsitdown.com/, the site Quinns writes for then. Great stuff.
It was said last year and it is definitely about to get said again, Kotaku needs to run more articles like this.... like seriously I would be interested in reading these and maybe more inclined to buy some. We get alot of kickstarter video game posts and there are alot of great board games that go to kick starter as…
What about the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game? Kinda works like a tabletop RPG, but no DM is needed.
