Quiet day today! How'd it go, PoT?
Good day today: slept in, had a floor election/smash bros tournament meeting, had a great supper with alot of the floor after, still time to have fun! What should I do... movies, youtube, games I'm bored of...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-29T20:08:32-04:00
That sucks. At least it's not on your perfect day off. Hope you don't cough and sneeze while working though! Make sure to bake any and everything at 1000+ degrees. Celcius. For days on end. And then get rid of it because it could still make people sick.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-29T20:24:31-04:00
Or just make everything with high-proof brandy...or high-proof rum....
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-29T20:31:51-04:00
... or high proof alcohol... or... yeah. Just alcohol.
Good advice, LZ!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-29T20:37:13-04:00
I started playing Elder Scrolls Arena today. It was my second attempt since getting the anthology. It was much more fun this time than last time. That might have something to do with the fact that the key that's supposed to be in the locked cell you start in was actually there this time. It wasn't there the first time I tried to play it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-29T20:39:35-04:00
That would definitely help, wouldn't it? Your starting lockpicking really isn't very high, plus it's hard without a pick.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-29T20:40:38-04:00
Time to play EK for the third time this week, this time with a new set of noobs.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-29T20:59:37-04:00
Team placed 14th overall out of forty, 9th place in Brisket (our best ever finish in brisket). My dessert placed 8th out of 20, my teammate 16th. We'll do better in October at the American Royal.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-29T21:38:28-04:00
I'm not sure if lock picking is even a skill in Arena
Congrats PoT! By American Royal - you mean in Kansas City? Send it my love!
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-29T21:53:42-04:00
That's the one Creeper. The world series of barbeque, upwards of 500 teams. Last year there were 262 dessert entries. Most entries are created by professional pastry chefs hired by the big money teams. This year I'll do better, I didn't know the presentation rules last year.
Thank you Creeper. I'll be sure to give KC your love.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-29T22:16:39-04:00
You can do it, PoT!
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-29T22:44:41-04:00
I believe I can. At least I can improve on my placement from last year. And I was incorrect about the number of teams competing in the barbeque competition. There were 59.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T00:54:12-04:00
Have fun!
Just played several games of EK and boss monster with some friends and then ordered a midnight pizza. This turned out to be a great day. Makes up for tomorrow when I'll have to get some work done.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T02:33:13-04:00
Well, the pizza didn't come for now an hour after it was supposed to. Whoopee. Complaint email for sure. We saw 2 delivery people, one from the place we ordered from, but still no pizza. Dang it, I wanted me some midnight pizza with the weirdest toppings we could find (minus the tater tots): bacon strips, pineapples, and jalapenos!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T03:07:37-04:00
And now a half hour battle with my computer over the internet. For some reason it didn't think I should be using it, but I restarted it. It resisted restarting and wouldn't log off for over 5 minutes, so I force-shut-down holding the power button, something you should never do, but it finally worked. Now I brought all my recent tabs back up and am good to go! Just in time for after 2 am. I need to go to bed. Come on, pizza and computer! It was such a good day until you came along!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T13:34:08-04:00
Good afternoon! Nothing better than staying up till 2:30, sleeping till 11:00, and getting out of bed at noon for breakfast. Why can't the rest of the week be a weekend?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T14:09:59-04:00
I don't know if I'm having major computer problems or connectivity problems, but whichever it is, I am getting really pissed. I've had to restart my computer twice since last night, chrome has crashed at least twice, it will sometimes out of nowhere start going slower than windows XP during a blackout...
Cyraph 2015-08-30T14:45:49-04:00
Hey all!
Received my exploding kittens last week and this weekend we had a blast!
Awesome game! Quick, easy to understand, and an exploding kitten full of fun (sorry, no defuse at hand)!!
Thanks for this little jewel. :)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T14:54:34-04:00
Huzzah!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T17:41:02-04:00
Watching the Dr. Who special from last season "Last Christmas". I forgot how much I love this show! And forgot to look up when it started again, so I think I'm an episode or two behind. I also never even found out there was a special last season, so now I forgot like all that happened then and now the special makes half the sense it could've.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T18:27:02-04:00
Nevermind, I had august and september reversed in my head. Dang it! I have another 3 weeks until it finally returns!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-30T18:49:05-04:00
How can you forget how much you love Doctor Who?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T19:26:41-04:00
I knew I loved it, just forgot the insane amount of how much. Now I really can't wait for the next season; watching that special was a mistake!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T19:57:39-04:00
I loved playing Boss Monster I just ordered it. That game is alot of fun!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T19:57:58-04:00

Chen-i Lin 2015-08-30T20:58:59-04:00
Has anyone else had problem contacting the creators with email? I've emailed them three times and have still yet to even receive as much as an automated "email received" response.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T21:11:09-04:00
Chen, it can take up to 2 weeks or more for them to respond if they even do. They sometimes ship a replacement deck without responding. Make sure you have the email spelled correctly: explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool for shipping issues and support@explodingkittens.com for any other issue.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-30T21:34:17-04:00
I was wrong. You can pick locks in Arena.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T23:31:06-04:00
Just bought Rocket League on Steam and it's pretty much as fun and crazy as people make it look. Worth $20? I've only played it for an hour and a half, so I don't really know yet.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-30T23:40:09-04:00
In other news, I've decided to help my friend brew some mead this year.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-30T23:42:26-04:00
That sounds cool, though I don't understand why mead is making a comeback. Well I do, but Game of Thrones's influence is too damn high! Someone just needs to end the series already so the hype dies down like it did for Breaking Bad. I think it'd be funny if grog made a comeback! If something can make something that nasty popular, it's WAY too influential! ;)
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-30T23:44:10-04:00
I've never seen Game of Thrones; and I don't know if my friend has. It just sounds good.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-31T00:24:39-04:00
The mead, I mean. I've actually always wanted to make some. Ever since I read about it in fantasy novels and saw Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. And other Robin Hood movies.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-31T00:44:22-04:00
See, you're a rare person, but I read it's making a huge comeback thanks to entertainment featuring it so much more now, especially Game of Thrones.
I've decided: Rocket League is SO worth $20! Especially when you learn to bicycle kick like the pros, which I'm very close to, just need to work on long-distance aim.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-31T01:13:33-04:00
I know it's rare to be one who hasn't seen Game of Thrones, but I'm too cheap to pay for cable; and I'm certainly too cheap to pay for HBO.
This game looks like it falls into some what the same genre as Exploding Kittens.
Paleari Luca 2015-08-31T08:42:54-04:00
I backed the project in February 2015, an you confirmed my order and delivery address on 28/5, But still nothing has arrived.
Honestly, I'm really disappointed..
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-31T08:47:52-04:00
Good morning all.
I probably missed way too much this weekend, so, I will only deal with the last couple of comments.
@Zem, @LZ. We had some mead for the very first episode of AGoT. It was ok. Not great, not horrible. There was a packet of spices that may be simmered in the mead, but my buddy didn't want to go through that much work.
I didn't watch last season of AGoT. Started to get ahead of where the books are. So I'm done with the show until after the rest of the series is out. That's if GRRM ever decides to give a crap about finishing them.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-31T08:53:41-04:00
You can go further into what happened in the body of the email.

We just started playing Roll for the Galaxy on friday night. Kind of a hit with everyone. I can see why it is ranked 47 overall on BGG.
Hopefully we get to start mistfall and imperial settlers next.

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-08-31T10:53:48-04:00
Just remember, "real" mead, made back in the day, used human spit as part of the fermentation process. So if you want to be truly accurate ...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-31T11:37:07-04:00
CoD: Kava, one of the few legal drugs on earth, was made by boys chewing a leaf and sieving their spit through coconut fibers. They still usually chew it, but now they squeeze it through a clean sock instead. Ah, the pacific islands...
I've never seen Game of Thrones, nor do I really want to. Yes, yes, gasps abound, but it's true. (yes it's true...) (I am happy to be stuck with you)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-31T11:37:37-04:00
Also, the "Jesus Flagships" are here at campus today. You know, the people with 10' x 10' posters saying churches are a joke, help the needy, Jesus died for your sins, etc. No matter how much I agree or disagree, I'm a christian without literally holding like 100 sq.ft. of protest in your face. All they really want is to offend someone so they argue and get publicity. I mean really, did they just look at the Westboro Baptist Church and say, "Y'know, they've got something there!"
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-31T11:40:03-04:00
Oh wait, 3 large signs and 5 people total: 300 sq.ft. of you're going to hell. With fliers!
I would walk past whoever is holding the "You're going to hell" part, or saying that part, and just say(loud enough for some passerby to hear) "I'll save you a seat, and we'll share martinis with everyone already there".
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-31T12:09:52-04:00
I tell them that if they're going to be rude, I won't invite them to the barbecue I'm planning to have with my friends down there.
Is this day over yet? Kind of slow...and I'm teaching the other payroll person how to do the US payroll in case she needs to cover for me....and I literally am doing nothing but watching, and guiding her through the steps....LONG day today.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-31T15:09:53-04:00
Done with classes; now time to finish one lab, write the procedure for it which I didn't have time for, and write out everything for the next one tomorrow. And then do the prelab quiz. Yeeha.
I've seen some people talking to them, which I think is dumb. One of my friends said he asked one of them, "Why is it that you're ok with taking a rib and making a woman out of it, but not taking butt fat and making it into a penis?"...
...
um... 3 points for creativity and inquisitiveness? I think they actually won that debate just because he asked that question. For real.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-31T15:44:03-04:00
That...that question makes my brain hurt. I mean...it's just...does he even know how that operation works? Nevermind. The question shows that he doesn't.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-31T16:00:18-04:00
Yeah, sometimes I'm not sure what to make of that guy.

It's really dead for a weekday.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-31T18:42:46-04:00
Yeah. I've been busy being a manager. Life was definitely simpler before I took this on.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-31T18:50:28-04:00
Well I got 2 labs to do, one of which involves alot of work outside of it because we didn't have the resources during lab, plus at least one quiz. So hopefully I can get the first one done before a good time to eat, in other words, not 5:30 to 7:00 because it's completely full down there.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-31T18:59:29-04:00
All that in addition to the fact that I couldn't fall asleep until after 4 am last night. Whee.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-31T19:17:58-04:00
That sounds like fun.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-31T21:45:39-04:00
There have literally only been 3 people here all day. That's good because no complainers but bad because I'm bored! I guess my homework has to keep me busy.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-31T21:50:43-04:00
Homework is boring. I'm also bored.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-31T22:37:32-04:00
First lab finished! Now to read pages 34-48, 92-97, watch 2 videos, do the onlinen prelab quiz, and write out the introduction, safety, properties, and procedure for the lab all while my roommate is asleep for some reason. He really went to sleep when I got up from my nap at like 7:30. I thought he was napping, but now I think he's just going to stay there. Knowing him, he'll still wake up after I have to.
I'll look back on these someday as the good 'ol days. And laugh because it totally sucked. Then realize it probably isn't much better.

@LZ. Why the pity for the makers of A Chaotic Life?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-09-01T12:57:20-04:00
@PoT, I was wondering the same thing. From a quick browse of the comments, it seems there are some pretty unhappy people. Maybe thats it?
Powers of Tesla 2015-09-01T12:59:15-04:00
I dunno, I'll take a look when I get back from my dogs therapy session. I backed the game, and got it last week but I haven't opened the package yet.
Powers of Tesla 2015-09-01T13:05:40-04:00
I just took a quick look. Now I get it. Much dissatisfaction, and MANY responses from the creative team apologizing, suggesting fixes and promising upcoming fixes. It looks like the EK team did a much better job play testing.
Well, today is just another day of...almost nothing. Except random text message, that turns into an old friend wanting to invite me to her wedding. Don't know if I will even be able to go to it....and if I do go, if I would even have a date for it. =/

PoT, for some reason I thought you meant your dog's psychological therapy and thought of him in a reclined chair barking his childhood to a psychologist.
Yes! After no sleep one day, a ton of work the next cutting off at least an hour of sleep, and plenty of stuff today, I'm finaly [mostly] free at last! Time for lunch, possibly my favorite part of the day.
This day is going to drag on and on. I've done everything I can, waiting on information(still - the person I need the info from is currently traveling), and just trying to get everything else ready for whatever *might* come up.
Powers of Tesla 2015-09-01T15:05:27-04:00
@Zem, thank goodness that's not going to happen, I'd have to deal with the repercussions of everything I've done to try and train him from the forst night he got here to today. I have a enough guilt of my own already thankyouverymuch.

Hello fellow backers. Not that i don't enjoy scrolling through pages of random comments... just wanted to thank the creators. @creators, received my NSFW version alongside the normal deck several weeks ago (sorry for the late reply). It was all packaged very nicely. Loved the "surprise" as well. Played the SFW vs with my little cousins and siblings and they all enjoyed it.
@GM, obviously, I'm in a different boat... ;) stupid busy over here. Nothing important, and no real need, just people making me do more for less... This working for a living thing is way overrated!
Quiet day today! How'd it go, PoT?
Good day today: slept in, had a floor election/smash bros tournament meeting, had a great supper with alot of the floor after, still time to have fun! What should I do... movies, youtube, games I'm bored of...
Have a cold *sneeze* am miserable. *cough.*
That sucks. At least it's not on your perfect day off. Hope you don't cough and sneeze while working though! Make sure to bake any and everything at 1000+ degrees. Celcius. For days on end. And then get rid of it because it could still make people sick.
Or just make everything with high-proof brandy...or high-proof rum....
... or high proof alcohol... or... yeah. Just alcohol.

Honestly, I'm really disappointed..
Good morning all.
I probably missed way too much this weekend, so, I will only deal with the last couple of comments.
@Zem, @LZ. We had some mead for the very first episode of AGoT. It was ok. Not great, not horrible. There was a packet of spices that may be simmered in the mead, but my buddy didn't want to go through that much work.
I didn't watch last season of AGoT. Started to get ahead of where the books are. So I'm done with the show until after the rest of the series is out. That's if GRRM ever decides to give a crap about finishing them.
@Paleari, please contact them at this address:

Please make a short, concise subject line
You can go further into what happened in the body of the email.
They are getting a lot of emails daily.
Be patient. It could take 2 weeks or longer to get a reply. Some people don't even get a reply, the package just shows up.
We just started playing Roll for the Galaxy on friday night. Kind of a hit with everyone. I can see why it is ranked 47 overall on BGG.
Hopefully we get to start mistfall and imperial settlers next.
i received my confirmation mail on 28/7, till now 31/8

Backuped but no kitties.
Getting frustrated

@Rocky Race Cheng
If you are in the US, send an email to explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool. If you are elsewhere send an email to support@explodingkittens.com
In the Subject line write "Shipping notification July 28, still no package". They get to you when they get to your email, it may be two weeks or more they are getting 1000 emails a day.
Just remember, "real" mead, made back in the day, used human spit as part of the fermentation process. So if you want to be truly accurate ...
CoD: Kava, one of the few legal drugs on earth, was made by boys chewing a leaf and sieving their spit through coconut fibers. They still usually chew it, but now they squeeze it through a clean sock instead. Ah, the pacific islands...
I've never seen Game of Thrones, nor do I really want to. Yes, yes, gasps abound, but it's true. (yes it's true...) (I am happy to be stuck with you)
Also, the "Jesus Flagships" are here at campus today. You know, the people with 10' x 10' posters saying churches are a joke, help the needy, Jesus died for your sins, etc. No matter how much I agree or disagree, I'm a christian without literally holding like 100 sq.ft. of protest in your face. All they really want is to offend someone so they argue and get publicity. I mean really, did they just look at the Westboro Baptist Church and say, "Y'know, they've got something there!"
Oh wait, 3 large signs and 5 people total: 300 sq.ft. of you're going to hell. With fliers!
I would walk past whoever is holding the "You're going to hell" part, or saying that part, and just say(loud enough for some passerby to hear) "I'll save you a seat, and we'll share martinis with everyone already there".
I tell them that if they're going to be rude, I won't invite them to the barbecue I'm planning to have with my friends down there.
Is this day over yet? Kind of slow...and I'm teaching the other payroll person how to do the US payroll in case she needs to cover for me....and I literally am doing nothing but watching, and guiding her through the steps....LONG day today.
Done with classes; now time to finish one lab, write the procedure for it which I didn't have time for, and write out everything for the next one tomorrow. And then do the prelab quiz. Yeeha.
I've seen some people talking to them, which I think is dumb. One of my friends said he asked one of them, "Why is it that you're ok with taking a rib and making a woman out of it, but not taking butt fat and making it into a penis?"...
...
um... 3 points for creativity and inquisitiveness? I think they actually won that debate just because he asked that question. For real.
That...that question makes my brain hurt. I mean...it's just...does he even know how that operation works? Nevermind. The question shows that he doesn't.
Yeah, sometimes I'm not sure what to make of that guy.
I hate phones that let you play music, but don't let you use music as a ring tone
It's really dead for a weekday.
Yeah. I've been busy being a manager. Life was definitely simpler before I took this on.
Well I got 2 labs to do, one of which involves alot of work outside of it because we didn't have the resources during lab, plus at least one quiz. So hopefully I can get the first one done before a good time to eat, in other words, not 5:30 to 7:00 because it's completely full down there.
All that in addition to the fact that I couldn't fall asleep until after 4 am last night. Whee.
That sounds like fun.
There have literally only been 3 people here all day. That's good because no complainers but bad because I'm bored! I guess my homework has to keep me busy.
Homework is boring. I'm also bored.
First lab finished! Now to read pages 34-48, 92-97, watch 2 videos, do the onlinen prelab quiz, and write out the introduction, safety, properties, and procedure for the lab all while my roommate is asleep for some reason. He really went to sleep when I got up from my nap at like 7:30. I thought he was napping, but now I think he's just going to stay there. Knowing him, he'll still wake up after I have to.
I'll look back on these someday as the good 'ol days. And laugh because it totally sucked. Then realize it probably isn't much better.
*.... and I'm still not here...*
Oh man! I feel sorry for the makers of A Chaotic Life...
Good morning corps!
Good morning, BaKhan!
Whats up LZ? Hows being the boss treating you?
I think Elan and the crew should submit Exploding Kittens to TableTop. I'd love to see them play this on the show next season. http://geekandsundry.com/tabletop-submission-guidelines-what-you-need-to-know/
Sorry, I was in a meeting. It's treating me well.
Thats good to hear! Pretty quite in here the last couple of days... could it be people are discovering life after EK again?
or even quiet... ><
@BaKhan: Life, what is this concept you speak of? o.O
@GM, often debated, highly over rated...
@LZ. Why the pity for the makers of A Chaotic Life?
@PoT, I was wondering the same thing. From a quick browse of the comments, it seems there are some pretty unhappy people. Maybe thats it?
I dunno, I'll take a look when I get back from my dogs therapy session. I backed the game, and got it last week but I haven't opened the package yet.
I just took a quick look. Now I get it. Much dissatisfaction, and MANY responses from the creative team apologizing, suggesting fixes and promising upcoming fixes. It looks like the EK team did a much better job play testing.
Well, today is just another day of...almost nothing. Except random text message, that turns into an old friend wanting to invite me to her wedding. Don't know if I will even be able to go to it....and if I do go, if I would even have a date for it. =/

That idea is amazing!!! It so needs to happen!
PoT, for some reason I thought you meant your dog's psychological therapy and thought of him in a reclined chair barking his childhood to a psychologist.
Yes! After no sleep one day, a ton of work the next cutting off at least an hour of sleep, and plenty of stuff today, I'm finaly [mostly] free at last! Time for lunch, possibly my favorite part of the day.
This day is going to drag on and on. I've done everything I can, waiting on information(still - the person I need the info from is currently traveling), and just trying to get everything else ready for whatever *might* come up.
@Zem, thank goodness that's not going to happen, I'd have to deal with the repercussions of everything I've done to try and train him from the forst night he got here to today. I have a enough guilt of my own already thankyouverymuch.
Today is flying by for me. Soooooper busy! I'll check back in a few hours
Today is flying by. Soooooper free! I check back about once every 10-30 minutes when I'm here.
Hello fellow backers. Not that i don't enjoy scrolling through pages of random comments... just wanted to thank the creators. @creators, received my NSFW version alongside the normal deck several weeks ago (sorry for the late reply). It was all packaged very nicely. Loved the "surprise" as well. Played the SFW vs with my little cousins and siblings and they all enjoyed it.
@Bruce, Huzzah! Congrats!
@BaKhan: Save me...this day isn't over yet....and I have less than nothing to do. D:
You're on your own, GM. This is something you have to do alone.
Then again, last time someone said, "This is something I have to do myself", this happened.

@GM, obviously, I'm in a different boat... ;) stupid busy over here. Nothing important, and no real need, just people making me do more for less... This working for a living thing is way overrated!
Ahh! It's good to be done for the day.
I still got a half hour to go... soon!
