I have a smoker. I'll be using charcoal and wood chips/chunks. My smoker also steams the meat. It'll take several hours, but the meat will be super moist and tender. And deliciously smokey. I'm going to use cherry and pecan woods.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-25T23:38:57-05:00
Haha, I thought you said you'd be using charcoal and wood chipmunks for a second there. I really want to try a deep fried turkey. Everyone who has says they're the best. I also want to throw in one un-thawed just for gits and shiggles. From behind a nuclear fallout shelter, of course.
Lord Zombitten 2015-11-26T00:07:54-05:00
Of course. I want to try a deep fried turkey, but I don't want to do it. Youtube has scared me away from that particular endeavor.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-26T00:32:56-05:00
Just make sure it's fully thawed and you won't have a problem.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-26T00:35:59-05:00
Oh, we tried the sauces, the mad cow and inferno. But we tried them with flavorful things so we couldn't get the full flavor, though they went perfectly with what we had them with. When I suggested a fish sauce, I was thinking specifically of salmon steaks we make every once in awhile, and I think we'll have one maybe this sunday to try it out. Try it for what I had in mind. We have them with all sorts of flavor, but this would be new, and I was thinking of that when we were talking about the sauces one of the first times and realized nobody made a fish sauce yet.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-26T09:36:58-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
Happy Thanksgiving to our America Kittens! Enjoy your time off, you deserve it!
Powers of Tesla 2015-11-26T10:14:42-05:00
Happy Thanksgiving my EK family. Travel safely, and eat unreservedly. May your pants attempt to strangle you at the waist.
Yeah...but I want my EDM(Every Day Messenger) more than the pens. xD
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-26T11:01:33-05:00
@GM, I'm having an ugly Christmas sweater party on the 12th, won't be any band stuff this time, so we would actually get a chance to play some EK, if you're interested. ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-26T11:05:32-05:00
HAPPY THANKSGIVING and freezing rain and ice and snow, everyone!
PoT, hahahaha, I'm going to use that one today.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-26T11:07:45-05:00
@Zem, happy Thanksgiving! Have fun, eat some turkey for your northern neighbours!
Powers of Tesla 2015-11-26T12:34:49-05:00
I think I have finally gotten my great grandmothers apple pie recipe re-created. I'm so sure, I'm going to feed it to strangers and gauge the reaction. That plus my grandmothers pecan pie (with the addition of a little high end bourbon that she would never have approved). Thanksgiving is gonna rock this year.
Sam Jones 2015-11-26T14:10:48-05:00
I backed the project to get the NSFW edition and I never received it. Whom do I need to contact to finally get my copy?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-26T14:20:21-05:00
@Sam, please refer to the lastest update. It has all the info you need! Good luck!
Also, apparently with the Folklore: The Affliction, if you got the $299 pack, you get over 200 miniatures....that's a lot of painting!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-26T16:26:39-05:00
@GM, I can't wait to get my grubby paws on those minis. I bought all new paints, brushes, tools, greenstuff, etc. almost a year ago, for a project I still haven't recieved, so I've been jonesing to do some painting! I've been out of it for almost 15 years, but I painted a few old Space Hulk minis when I got my new paints, and I haven't lost my touch. I just want to paint some minis, is that so wrong?!
@BaKhan: I will have to practice on something...hopefully roughly to scale of those. Will need to buy all new paints/brushes/tools/etc...since I don't actually have any right now(don't want to use my dad's since he uses them for his Napoleon era soldiers).
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-26T16:37:26-05:00
@GM, hehe, and you thought your budget is tight now, just wait till you start pricing that stuff out! I dropped almost $800, and I still don't have everything I want yet... sigh, this hobby can break you if you're not careful.
Hmm...wonder if I still have my Warhammer 40k ones...I think I have some of the metal ones(well, know I have Lilith Hesperax or whatever her name was), that I can practice on. I think I might have actually thrown them out a couple years ago(plastic ones that is).
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-26T17:07:52-05:00
I have a bunch of 40k Eldar harlequins that I never got around to painting, that are pretty cool, pretty much expert level painting though... I have a variety of choas beastmen and such (plastic) that I know for sure I will never paint that would be good for getting back in painting shape.
I had a bunch of Space Marines, and Dark Eldar(from the starter pack that they came together in). Also had a SM Tank(Predator Annihilator I believe) and a DA Transport ship....might also have some DA slave girls somewhere too...but they are metal.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-26T17:22:12-05:00
Back when I was collecting them they were mostly metal, there were some cheaper plastic booster boxes and such. I created my own chapter of space marines, prodominantly white, with red, green, and gold accents. But I was way more into WFB than 40K. I still have some wood elves (metal) and a bunch of assorted chaos creatures (metal and plastic). If you ever wanted to take a crack at any of those, let me know.
Well...good thing I decided to check online before going in-store to see if the book I want is finally in paperback....nope, not until June 2016. And the "final" book in the series(possibly just this arch) is out now...in hardcover. Sucks when I have ALL the others in paperback.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-26T21:22:48-05:00
You guys had a gull day here without us. Thanksgiving pt. 1 is finished. Now for the last home game of the season against our rivals in really cold that I have to usher and thanksgiving pt. 2.
`
It's been forever since the last time, but playing Age of Empires I multiplayer with brothers is one of the most fun things ever! Especially when you're doing co-op.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-26T21:27:38-05:00
Also, 27 F, -3 C, with sleet and strong wind isn't fun in the first place, much less to drive all the way home in for over an hour through light thanksgiving traffic while being practically asleep since I've been tired for hours and had just woken up from a short nap and was still practically asleep.Only nearly went off the road once. Don't blame me if you literally woke me up to drive after I've only had 10 hours of sleep over the last 2 and a half days.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-11-27T00:30:14-05:00
Well had a few people try the sauce and they all loved it!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-27T08:23:28-05:00
We love it too, but haven't had much of a chance.
Power went out last night and everyone went to bed. It was the first time in forever that I could remember going to bed at 10-10:30 pm!
Good morning all you stuffed kittens! And BaKhan too, since we didn't get stuffed last night. :P
@Zem: What? You went to bed at 10-10:30 because of a power outage?! Where were the flashlights, the Exploding Kittens, the laughter? You wasted good time there.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-27T10:20:19-05:00
@GM, I'm on another juice fast so pretty much the opposite of stuffed... ;)
So, apparently, the ship carrying the messenger bag I ordered was due in port yesterday. If it actually made it into the port yesterday, that means I should get the shipping notification within a week, and the bag a week later. Here's hoping that it actually did arrive on time.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-27T10:52:08-05:00
So I'm coming up with my menu for the ugly chirstmas sweater party... so far I've got chocolate mint shortbread cookies, a square that is shortbread covered in caramel and then chocolate, sugar cookies, a rice krispy christmas tree, my version of Disney's best hot chocolate ever (no lie, its the best!), mini yorkies stuffed with beef, and mini chicken pot pies (tart sized). I need a couple more savoury dishes, any ideas?
Hmm...that is definitely something I will need to look into. I'll check some of my cookbooks I have and see what might be decent to go with some of that.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-27T11:02:35-05:00
We were all really tired and just went to bed. I might've stayed up, but I'd have been alone.
Nothing like having to search through thousands(literally) of emails to try and find a few termination forms....would help so much if people would put information into the emails other than "See attached" in the body, or "Termination Forms" in the subject line....tell me what branch, what the last names were, SOMETHING to identify them faster.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-27T15:06:32-05:00
Yeah, I find most peoples basic communication skills roughly equivalent to a grade schooler. Why would I possibly include helpful information in the header, doesn't see the attached cover it?
@LZ: Not a fan of the Jagermeister. Might be because everyone always serves it mixed with Red Bull...and that stuff is disgusting to begin with.
Lord Zombitten 2015-11-27T16:16:57-05:00
Yeah, red bull is nasty. I really love black licorice, though, so Jäger is right up my ally. I'll take it neat. Screw Red Bull!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-11-27T16:49:18-05:00
Lolz, when you mix Jager with red bull, both change into the most delicious thing.... mmm love me some jager bombs! But, when it comes to drinking Jagermeister, it needs to be ice cold, then its so good.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-27T20:55:23-05:00
Wow, i haven't had many chances at all to visit this weekend! Especially not during normal hours. Hopefully I'll be able to check in more tomorrow, even though it's the normal thanksgiving for us. Hopefully it's above 20 degrees so I don't have to ice pick my windshield. Hopefully I don't have to spend 6+ hours in said 20 degrees again for a football game, even one that exciting.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-28T10:35:02-05:00
This is the welcome I get? Oh, it's late morning on a weekend after a holiday for half of us. Even I shouldn't be here.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-28T19:07:22-05:00
Huh, guess it is just me. See what this place would be like without me? I rarely go a day without at least checking in once, and that's usually on vacation that I'm traveling and can't.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-11-29T01:32:14-05:00
Meh Imy in atleast once a day if not Korea to read the comments. ....

See this is why I don't post shit..... fucking non edit bullshit....
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T13:33:34-05:00
Doc, were you by any chance completely drunk last night? Or did your alcoholic phone fall off the bandwagon again?
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T15:28:31-05:00
Hey, how are the kittens doing? Haven't peeked in in awhile, so thought I'd say Hey, and wish everyone a happy holiday. Hope peeps had a good Turkey Day. :)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T15:38:14-05:00
Hey, Chameleon! Long time no sé!
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T16:12:15-05:00
Hi Micah. :)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T16:35:24-05:00
I had 2 great thanksgivings and consequently won't eat for the next 2-3 months. Leave it to we 'Muricans to have a holiday devoted to eating!
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-11-29T17:12:39-05:00
I was unfortunately not drunk.....
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T17:31:01-05:00
Well next time make sure you are before commenting like that!
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T18:17:18-05:00
@Micah,
We aren't the only country to have a holiday that's all about the eating. ;) Octoberfest comes to mind. I'm sure there are others, as well.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T19:45:02-05:00
That's more for drinking nowadays. I mean a holiday with a legal minimum of 3 pounds of normal food and 1 pound of dessert, which I easily excel.
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T19:52:24-05:00
Who likes video/console gaming? I've started a new Youtube channel. Grumpy Geezer Gaming. :)
Powers of Tesla 2015-11-29T21:29:52-05:00
Aww. Darn it. I missed the Chameleon.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T21:40:10-05:00
Hey, Chameleon, if you're still here, have you seen my comments? About 1/300 of them has been about games! (That means about 18 or so comments)
Also, I watched your last channel with loyalty and dedication until about a month before it stopped, and that was you reading childrens' books, so I'll definitely subscribe to this one!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T21:40:54-05:00
Also, hello, PoT, how have you been since the last time you were on?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T21:44:11-05:00
Surveys meet EK meet Kitten Corps? Yeah I'll do it, Erik. Good topic for a project.
Powers of Tesla 2015-11-29T21:48:08-05:00
I've been good Zem. Had a good Thanksgiving with friends, did another Thanksgiving for just my wife and I. Bought the first few light fixtures for the new house and avoided Black Friday shopping like the very plague I believe it to be. All in all a good weekend.
Erik 2015-11-29T21:54:49-05:00
Thanks Micah, and thanks for reminding me of the Kitten Corps! I may have to make a twitter account so I can ask them as well.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T22:08:36-05:00
Erik, that might be a good idea, though I think most of the people following that and the facebook page are here as well, though at least it won't get pushed down there. I'll repost the link tomorrow morning when more people are here for you.
`
PoT, I had 2 thanksgivings, one was a large one with 17 people, amazing food, and 7 or 8 pots of 3 types of really good coffee, so I obviously had a great weekend. Also avoided black friday, though I did sit through a losing football game in 20 degree weather with strong winds, but I still enjoyed that too.
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T22:09:05-05:00
I see PoT! :)
@Micah,
Thanks for watching my other channel, and subscribing to this one. I appreciate it. :)
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T22:15:43-05:00
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T22:24:20-05:00
Chameleon, you're not technically a geezer, so I'm not sure that counts, really.
`
No problem, Erik-who-suddenly-has-no-last-name!
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T22:33:33-05:00
@Micah,
Depends on who you compare to. :) Compared to a lot of the whippersnappers that play games, I am.
Powers of Tesla 2015-11-29T22:35:49-05:00
How've you been Chameleon?
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T22:38:15-05:00
@PoT,
Good, thanks. Really busy until recently. Now I've been on vacation for a couple of weeks, and have this week off, too. It's nice to be able to relax, and get this new youtube channel started. :) How about you?
Powers of Tesla 2015-11-29T22:39:36-05:00
Up to my eyeballs in building a new house, hanging out with Elan Lee and traveling here and yon. I'm having a pretty good year.
: )
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T22:43:22-05:00
@PoT,
Nice. New houses can be fun, but also a pain in the butt. What's up with Elan these days?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T22:45:23-05:00
Chameleon, only if you play Call of Duty online. The freaking Squeaker Squad! Kill them all!
`
Why do you get all the meetings with Elan?! Quit hogging him all to yourself!
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T22:47:13-05:00
@Micah,
lol Yeah, I can imagine. I'm going to try and stay away from that sort of thing. Especially since FPS games aren't really my thing. :) I prefer open-world and sandbox-style games
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T22:50:47-05:00
Well I see you've primarily done Fallout so far, which is a good one to do for the most part. I have 66 hours on that one in the nearly 3 weeks since it came out, and would have much more if not for the holiday. Great choice! Plus no annoying children 360 no-scoping you.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T22:53:20-05:00
You never know the intimate details of your mother's life until you play CoD online. She gets around alot, even to different countries, but only with kids who are like 12 years old at most.
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T22:54:16-05:00
@Micah,
Yeah, started with Fallout 4. Will do some Star Wars: Battlefront, too. And Disney Infinity, probably. Maybe some Minecraft. I'm anxiously awaiting No Man's Sky next year, as well as some other things
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T23:06:48-05:00
The best videos are always collaborations, but I wouldn't expect to do those until you have several thousand subs. Proud to be lucky number 7! Just don't let all the internet fame go to your head when you surpass Pew Die Pie and become one of the most famous internet stars. Remember the little guys.
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T23:10:01-05:00
Yeah, will be fun to do some collabs. I have some friends that will likely be joining me at some point.
lol PewDiePie. Not sure why he's so popular.
Powers of Tesla 2015-11-29T23:27:41-05:00
Chameleon... Elan and Matt have a 20 card expansion set nearly ready to go that will change the game in exciting ways. And there is a new game getting ready for testing that looks like it's going to be a LOT of fun. I've seen the original hand drawn Oatmeal cards for both and it's incredible.
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T23:30:47-05:00
@PoT,
Oh, those sounds cool. Excited to see what they have. :)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-11-29T23:33:48-05:00
Yeah, I have no idea why he's so popular. I do follow Markiplier and Jacksepticeye among a few others, though. But they're actually funny.
Powers of Tesla 2015-11-29T23:34:31-05:00
I wanted to steal those cards so badly. It's a shame I'm such a nice guy. And that I realize how old, fat, and slow I am.
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T23:39:00-05:00
@Micah,
I follow GhostRobo and Totalbiscuit. I like those 2. :)
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-11-29T23:41:29-05:00
@PoT,
lol Any idea when we'll see the expansion or the new game?
Powers of Tesla 2015-11-29T23:42:51-05:00
It could be within the next few months, keep an eye out here, and on their Twitter feed.
I have a smoker. I'll be using charcoal and wood chips/chunks. My smoker also steams the meat. It'll take several hours, but the meat will be super moist and tender. And deliciously smokey. I'm going to use cherry and pecan woods.
Haha, I thought you said you'd be using charcoal and wood chipmunks for a second there. I really want to try a deep fried turkey. Everyone who has says they're the best. I also want to throw in one un-thawed just for gits and shiggles. From behind a nuclear fallout shelter, of course.
Of course. I want to try a deep fried turkey, but I don't want to do it. Youtube has scared me away from that particular endeavor.

Morning kittens. And a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you south of the border.
@PoT, that was awesome! Enjoy your turkey day, I'm sure it will be legendary!
Well, I just got tracking information for one of the campaigns I was waiting on...not the one I REALLY wanted...but still a good one.
@GM, HUZZAH! It always feels like a victory to get those!
Yeah...but I want my EDM(Every Day Messenger) more than the pens. xD
@GM, I'm having an ugly Christmas sweater party on the 12th, won't be any band stuff this time, so we would actually get a chance to play some EK, if you're interested. ;)
That would mean going out and buying an ugly sweater...which would be worn once and then never again...I will definitely think about it. :P
@GM, some people I've been talking to are just going to Value Village, and getting legit ugly christmas sweaters. This is the one I have on the way... http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2238979/star-wars-ugly-feud-sweater-men.jsp…
HAPPY THANKSGIVING and freezing rain and ice and snow, everyone!
PoT, hahahaha, I'm going to use that one today.
@Zem, happy Thanksgiving! Have fun, eat some turkey for your northern neighbours!
I think I have finally gotten my great grandmothers apple pie recipe re-created. I'm so sure, I'm going to feed it to strangers and gauge the reaction. That plus my grandmothers pecan pie (with the addition of a little high end bourbon that she would never have approved). Thanksgiving is gonna rock this year.

@Sam, please refer to the lastest update. It has all the info you need! Good luck!
Well...this day is almost a complete write off...been sitting here doing almost nothing all day. >.<
Also, apparently with the Folklore: The Affliction, if you got the $299 pack, you get over 200 miniatures....that's a lot of painting!
@GM, I can't wait to get my grubby paws on those minis. I bought all new paints, brushes, tools, greenstuff, etc. almost a year ago, for a project I still haven't recieved, so I've been jonesing to do some painting!

That's why I'm glad we don't get them for almost a year. Gives me time to save for that, and the condo.
@GM, as far as practice minis, I have some old ones from games workshop I can let you have, if you want.
Hmm...wonder if I still have my Warhammer 40k ones...I think I have some of the metal ones(well, know I have Lilith Hesperax or whatever her name was), that I can practice on. I think I might have actually thrown them out a couple years ago(plastic ones that is).

@Zem: What? You went to bed at 10-10:30 because of a power outage?! Where were the flashlights, the Exploding Kittens, the laughter? You wasted good time there.
@GM, I'm on another juice fast so pretty much the opposite of stuffed... ;)
So, apparently, the ship carrying the messenger bag I ordered was due in port yesterday. If it actually made it into the port yesterday, that means I should get the shipping notification within a week, and the bag a week later. Here's hoping that it actually did arrive on time.
So I'm coming up with my menu for the ugly chirstmas sweater party... so far I've got chocolate mint shortbread cookies, a square that is shortbread covered in caramel and then chocolate, sugar cookies, a rice krispy christmas tree, my version of Disney's best hot chocolate ever (no lie, its the best!), mini yorkies stuffed with beef, and mini chicken pot pies (tart sized). I need a couple more savoury dishes, any ideas?
Hmm...that is definitely something I will need to look into. I'll check some of my cookbooks I have and see what might be decent to go with some of that.
We were all really tired and just went to bed. I might've stayed up, but I'd have been alone.
@Zem: Bah! They could have stayed up if they had tried.
Nothing like having to search through thousands(literally) of emails to try and find a few termination forms....would help so much if people would put information into the emails other than "See attached" in the body, or "Termination Forms" in the subject line....tell me what branch, what the last names were, SOMETHING to identify them faster.
Yeah, I find most peoples basic communication skills roughly equivalent to a grade schooler. Why would I possibly include helpful information in the header, doesn't see the attached cover it?
Or when changing emergency contact info:
Yeah, it should probably be the wife, phone number ###-###-####
...And that's all that's in the email. Good thing payroll is part detective.
@GM, you need to get a Sherlock hat, pipe, and violin... just to get into character... ;)
And some jägermeister. I just tasted it for the first time and decided everyone needs that.
@LZ: Not a fan of the Jagermeister. Might be because everyone always serves it mixed with Red Bull...and that stuff is disgusting to begin with.
Yeah, red bull is nasty. I really love black licorice, though, so Jäger is right up my ally. I'll take it neat. Screw Red Bull!
Lolz, when you mix Jager with red bull, both change into the most delicious thing.... mmm love me some jager bombs! But, when it comes to drinking Jagermeister, it needs to be ice cold, then its so good.
Wow, i haven't had many chances at all to visit this weekend! Especially not during normal hours. Hopefully I'll be able to check in more tomorrow, even though it's the normal thanksgiving for us. Hopefully it's above 20 degrees so I don't have to ice pick my windshield. Hopefully I don't have to spend 6+ hours in said 20 degrees again for a football game, even one that exciting.
This is the welcome I get? Oh, it's late morning on a weekend after a holiday for half of us. Even I shouldn't be here.
Huh, guess it is just me. See what this place would be like without me? I rarely go a day without at least checking in once, and that's usually on vacation that I'm traveling and can't.
Meh Imy in atleast once a day if not Korea to read the comments. ....
I'm

See this is why I don't post shit..... fucking non edit bullshit....
Doc, were you by any chance completely drunk last night? Or did your alcoholic phone fall off the bandwagon again?
Hey, how are the kittens doing? Haven't peeked in in awhile, so thought I'd say Hey, and wish everyone a happy holiday. Hope peeps had a good Turkey Day. :)
Hey, Chameleon! Long time no sé!
Hi Micah. :)
I had 2 great thanksgivings and consequently won't eat for the next 2-3 months. Leave it to we 'Muricans to have a holiday devoted to eating!
I was unfortunately not drunk.....
Well next time make sure you are before commenting like that!
@Micah,
We aren't the only country to have a holiday that's all about the eating. ;) Octoberfest comes to mind. I'm sure there are others, as well.
That's more for drinking nowadays. I mean a holiday with a legal minimum of 3 pounds of normal food and 1 pound of dessert, which I easily excel.
Who likes video/console gaming? I've started a new Youtube channel. Grumpy Geezer Gaming. :)
Aww. Darn it. I missed the Chameleon.
Hey, Chameleon, if you're still here, have you seen my comments? About 1/300 of them has been about games! (That means about 18 or so comments)
Also, I watched your last channel with loyalty and dedication until about a month before it stopped, and that was you reading childrens' books, so I'll definitely subscribe to this one!
Also, hello, PoT, how have you been since the last time you were on?
Hey backers! Would you mind sharing your thoughts on Exploding Kittens? My wife is doing a report on the kickstarter campaign for a business class, and is trying to get some feedback. We would really appreciate your input!

Surveys meet EK meet Kitten Corps? Yeah I'll do it, Erik. Good topic for a project.
I've been good Zem. Had a good Thanksgiving with friends, did another Thanksgiving for just my wife and I. Bought the first few light fixtures for the new house and avoided Black Friday shopping like the very plague I believe it to be. All in all a good weekend.
Thanks Micah, and thanks for reminding me of the Kitten Corps! I may have to make a twitter account so I can ask them as well.
Erik, that might be a good idea, though I think most of the people following that and the facebook page are here as well, though at least it won't get pushed down there. I'll repost the link tomorrow morning when more people are here for you.
`
PoT, I had 2 thanksgivings, one was a large one with 17 people, amazing food, and 7 or 8 pots of 3 types of really good coffee, so I obviously had a great weekend. Also avoided black friday, though I did sit through a losing football game in 20 degree weather with strong winds, but I still enjoyed that too.
I see PoT! :)
@Micah,
Thanks for watching my other channel, and subscribing to this one. I appreciate it. :)
Anyone else wondering what Youtube channel we're talking about, it's this one:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCObsuRjYafGRWacVjLJ5qBQ
Thanks Micah, we'd really appreciate it!
Chameleon, you're not technically a geezer, so I'm not sure that counts, really.
`
No problem, Erik-who-suddenly-has-no-last-name!
@Micah,
Depends on who you compare to. :) Compared to a lot of the whippersnappers that play games, I am.
How've you been Chameleon?
@PoT,
Good, thanks. Really busy until recently. Now I've been on vacation for a couple of weeks, and have this week off, too. It's nice to be able to relax, and get this new youtube channel started. :) How about you?
Up to my eyeballs in building a new house, hanging out with Elan Lee and traveling here and yon. I'm having a pretty good year.
: )
@PoT,
Nice. New houses can be fun, but also a pain in the butt. What's up with Elan these days?
Chameleon, only if you play Call of Duty online. The freaking Squeaker Squad! Kill them all!
`
Why do you get all the meetings with Elan?! Quit hogging him all to yourself!
@Micah,
lol Yeah, I can imagine. I'm going to try and stay away from that sort of thing. Especially since FPS games aren't really my thing. :) I prefer open-world and sandbox-style games
Well I see you've primarily done Fallout so far, which is a good one to do for the most part. I have 66 hours on that one in the nearly 3 weeks since it came out, and would have much more if not for the holiday. Great choice! Plus no annoying children 360 no-scoping you.
You never know the intimate details of your mother's life until you play CoD online. She gets around alot, even to different countries, but only with kids who are like 12 years old at most.
@Micah,
Yeah, started with Fallout 4. Will do some Star Wars: Battlefront, too. And Disney Infinity, probably. Maybe some Minecraft. I'm anxiously awaiting No Man's Sky next year, as well as some other things
The best videos are always collaborations, but I wouldn't expect to do those until you have several thousand subs. Proud to be lucky number 7! Just don't let all the internet fame go to your head when you surpass Pew Die Pie and become one of the most famous internet stars. Remember the little guys.
Yeah, will be fun to do some collabs. I have some friends that will likely be joining me at some point.
lol PewDiePie. Not sure why he's so popular.
Chameleon... Elan and Matt have a 20 card expansion set nearly ready to go that will change the game in exciting ways. And there is a new game getting ready for testing that looks like it's going to be a LOT of fun. I've seen the original hand drawn Oatmeal cards for both and it's incredible.
@PoT,
Oh, those sounds cool. Excited to see what they have. :)
Yeah, I have no idea why he's so popular. I do follow Markiplier and Jacksepticeye among a few others, though. But they're actually funny.
I wanted to steal those cards so badly. It's a shame I'm such a nice guy. And that I realize how old, fat, and slow I am.
@Micah,
I follow GhostRobo and Totalbiscuit. I like those 2. :)
@PoT,
lol Any idea when we'll see the expansion or the new game?
It could be within the next few months, keep an eye out here, and on their Twitter feed.
