Random Rants XL: I'm having trouble growing my wood

[SS-18 ICBM]

My colleagues at work are put off by history non-fiction that could be considered light. Relax people, it's just a footnote, it's not going to suck out your energy or something.

 

[Synobun]

It currently feels as if my brain matter is entering a state of liquefaction.

 

[cardgame]

Evidently I'm a troll.

 

[Dachs]

Evidently I'm a troll.

Wrong thread, chief.

 

[cardgame]

As a rule, I don't troll this site. 'tis my internet home.

 

[Takhisis]

Then please change your usertitle to infraviaductal goblinoid and take it with a pinch of salt or whatever the saying is supposed to be.

Rant: Always rainy and a bad cold. Like London, but without the Englishmen or Olympic Games… wait, wrong thread.

I nearly lost a game of Risk to my 5 year old cousin.

But you didn't. Moving on to more important rants...........












Rant: I can't think of a more important rant.

I got a float from UDF. The pop:ice cream ratio was all off, and the ice cream was freezer-burnt.

The closeness of that and the excitement that game might bring is overshadowed by the fact that it was with a 5 year old.

At least you won.

Yeah, but think about if you play it right: You're losing. Badly. The cousin thinks he's got it made. Then, at the last minute, you whip his territories right out from under him, and give him a good ol' fashioned whoopin'.

Rant: I feel like I said the same exact words as above 3 months ago.

 

[Kennigit]

the obvious way to go about it is to complain how risk is so die roll based.

 

[choxorn]

So is Civilization, just less so.

 

[Earthling]

Cashing in the cards is really the biggest deal in some rulesets isn't it, and that represents the most luck, dice are going to even out.

Rant: Other than me, I only met five Touhou fans at the convention.

Ah, good old Touhou

Wait what? This the rants thread? Umm, well I had to wipe my hardrive back to the factory state today.

huh, weird as like 3 of my friends play touhou and I would imagine people going to whatever convention would appeal to that

um, I guess my rant is that I've done nothing academic all summer so it could be a bit tough starting the semester back up. Also that final happened and the games themselves wasn't quite as fun as previous finals. Still very emotional as it was the last finals ever and they had montages and stuff like that. The crowd cheered wildly the whole time. I know it's just a game, but it's given me 12 years of having fun (and continuing to!) play it as well as 4.66 years of following a highly skills professional team leagues and individual tournaments.

My solution to feeling depressed is eating M&Ms. It's really not healthy.

 

[Tee Kay]

I think I found someone. And the feeling is mutual.

And now I have a feeling that it was too good to be true.

 

[W|M]

If you're pessimistic about it, then yes it's too good to be true - Be optimistic!
