@Geist: I need to look busy for the next 6-ish hours...and I've had to look busy since I started today. Tomorrow, will probably be even more trying to look busy. Though, with practically all the management/VP team on holiday...I really only have to worry about my own manager.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-22T13:25:11-05:00
@GM: I don't have that problem. We currently have a back up of 1000 invoices that we need to get paid before December 31 so now I'm helping to process those invoices. Plus there is going to be a huge check run tomorrow, so I will have to deal with that. Looking busy? I wish.
(Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful to have this job)
So many people are way to quick to cry scam with KS projects.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-22T14:25:01-05:00
@Geist, no way! I set this up for today. I am normally way busier than I like to be, but when I'm planning on a couple of days off, or holidays, I prep my customers for my absence a day in advance of when I'm actually leaving. That way, the day before (today) is an easy day! My phone message already says that I'll be back on the 29th, and my out of office assistant is on for my email. Now I just need to avoid the generic phone calls and walk in customers... thats the real challange, oh and look busy... ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-22T14:26:04-05:00
@GM, yes it is true. I think that when you log in, you should have to check off a box that says you realize that this is not a pre-order and there are no guarantees...
@BaKhan: You mean have Kickstarter make you sign a waiver, making any and all complaints void? Unless, of course, it's a few years later and you still haven't received it(such is the case with one I have backed unfortunately).

Year end financial business: The time of the year when people wait until the last damn minute to get s**t done.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-22T15:19:39-05:00
Just a couple hours left! I'm having christmas tonight, actually, since it's the only time we could all make it this week. Our christmas eve supper is something I look forward to all year. Lobster bisque and oyster stew are the main things and everything else tends to change. No idea what we're having with it, but plenty of food and some family we rarely see. Too bad they never had time to decorate the tree this year.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-22T15:20:53-05:00
@GM, I was just thinking something annoying that you have the click everytime you want to post something, and where the box you click moves so you have to look at it, just as a reminder. Some people are just way too entitled. Not saying of course that there aren't some scammers out there...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-22T15:23:16-05:00
Speaking of scammers: Our dice guy hasn't shown his face in a long while.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-22T15:24:13-05:00
@Geist, just remember to wish them a merry kiss-my-ass, pronounced christmas... ;)
@Geist, as a Canadian, I offically approve of your usage of eh. Effin Eh!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-22T16:49:51-05:00
Just means that you and GM are rubbing off on me.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-22T17:40:53-05:00
Good thing Killer Kittens doesn't stand a chance. We've only had one knockoff make it through.
Geist, I think of Sklorz every once in awhile. Either he gave up or learned his lessons and knows how to hide.
Just spent about half an hour or more at our snack buffet type thing with tons of types of cheese, meat, crackers, and sundry homemade christmas treats trying all the different types with my family. I'm definitely having a good time, BaKhan.
I just watched the video for that...and really? It's UNO except you don't draw cards, you lose lives. That is ridiculously pathetic strategy for making a game.

Paul 2015-12-23T16:13:22-05:00
Hi all, so I was out of the country when my Exploding Kittens and have only recently opened my package and been playing with friends. However my friends quickly noticed that one of the Exploding Kitten cards has a yellow circle "misprint" on the back that makes it obvious that it's an Exploding Kitten. Has this issue been brought up?
@Paul: I think you're the only one that has brought it up. I will have to check when I get home, but don't think I saw it when I looked at the cards(only looked at the front anyway).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-23T16:34:47-05:00
I don't have any misprints on my deck. That's unfortunate. Maybe you can color it in so it's unnoticeable.
Man...some people REALLY have no clue about production, delays that could happen to production, shipping delays, or even the entire concept of what crowd-funding really entails. I'm getting tired of explaining the same stuff to people(actually just telling them to look at the latest update) over and over, usually 2-3 comments after my last time telling them to refer to the comment.
On a better note.....only 2 more hours until I can go home and not be back until Monday(which SHOULD be a holiday for us, but because of the way payroll falls, I need to work it).
And the creators of the project behind my last comment just sent a new update...with no new information....just a discount on another purchase of their product....which no one has received yet....that is one that I can't deny people having issues with.
Well, since my boss told me I can leave whenever I feel comfortable leaving....I'm going to leave now.
If I don't pop back in here(or if any of you don't - I'm looking at you, yeah, you know who you are!) before hand, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. And may your kittens be every explosive.
@gm- I know baubax kinda screwed up with that last update- I just feel really bad for them. Some people aren't good with public relations and unless you hire someone to handle it....ugh. They're not even delayed by that much. But wow. I think they're scared becasue of all the angry backers. And if they posted "a factory had issues- there will be another delay" people would lose their shit
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-23T23:01:44-05:00
Hola again, all! So we've finished the first trilogy (chronologically) in the Star Wars series, will see 4-6 the rest of the week and 7 on monday. Whee!
Paul 2015-12-24T00:37:05-05:00
@Melissa Thanks I'll do just that. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed an obvious post or anything before I go bugging them with my tiny yellow circle. Cheers!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-24T09:46:13-05:00
If I hadn't said this before: Merry Christmas Kitten Corps! I know I'm a day early but tomorrow will be busy for me. I got 8:30 am tickets for the Star Wars movie and then I will watch The Hateful Eight. (That is 5 hours of movie watching) Then it's off to a friend's house for Christmas dinner. By the time I get home, I will be full of food and contentment.
Hiya Geist - Merry Christmas to you too! And to all the Kitten Corps and backers! Huzzah!
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-24T12:32:23-05:00
Merry Christmas everyone
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-24T13:11:02-05:00
Last second white christmas! It's snowed alot over the past weeks, but always above freezing so it melted. It finally stayed at exactly 32 degrees, just tenths of a degree below freezing, long enough to keep maybe 4-6 in.. Though it'll get to 34 today. Hope it stays finally.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-24T22:33:15-05:00
Must be a good christmas. Nobody's checked in. I had my christmas eve tuesday and will have christmas saturday, so my actual holidays are just hangin around, scooping snow, getting snacks, playing games, watching The Flash with my dad and brother, and then the 4th star wars. That's a great day to me, though, so I'm happy as well. Murray Kerstmus!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-25T01:32:22-05:00
Merry Christmas!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-25T03:01:45-05:00
Just found out I have to wake up before 8. Love for my tendency to stay up till at least 2 am, y u do dis? Why do I have to have a normal family? Come to the dark seid! Creatures of the niiiiiiight!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-25T12:04:43-05:00
Isn't it funny how your gifts change over time? When I was a little kid, stocking stuffers were things like stuffed animals or little toys. This Christmas, I had a cigar, cigar cutter and matches, wine-opener multitool from Switzerland, ticket to Star Wars, and a deck of cards my dad found in Switzerland with a hot chick on the front. And a paddleboard, because we needed a toy of some sort. Funny enough, we all went straight to the paddleboard and had tons of fun with them.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-25T12:52:28-05:00
Yeah. When I was a kid and used to get socks and underwear.....WORST PRESENTS EVAH!!!!!
Now if I do t get socks or underwear, I'm dissapointed,lol.
Got a sweet set of Old fashioned glasses with Green Bay Packer logos on them. Put those bad boys to use last night!!
And a white noise machine. Finally. U can have something to help me sleep without the wife bugging me about the fan being on.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-25T14:53:56-05:00
Green Bay Packers are best Packers! They're really the only NFL team I care about at all. And I like getting clothes, depending on them. My mom got me a whole box full of really funny t-shirts online, which is great to me. It basically doubled the amount of shirts I have (so, like 6 or 7).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-25T14:56:20-05:00
Yah wish I got half the shit I give my kids for xmas lol. ... got my oldest boy an audi tt roadster electric car....thing even has a working fucking radio in it... and can hook a phone to it.....
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-25T15:29:45-05:00

Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-25T20:29:53-05:00
Saw Star Wars for the second time probably going to see it for a third time tomorrow or Sunday. Man it is way too awesome
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-25T22:17:50-05:00
@Trinkets: I saw Star Wars this morning. Better than the prequels, that's for sure.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-25T23:25:25-05:00
It will be the first movie that I have seen 3 times while in the theater.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-26T09:31:16-05:00
For me, the record for most viewed movie while in theaters is The Adams Family. I saw it 8 times in one day. The sequel was a bit of a disappointment but I gradually learned to love it.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-26T09:39:24-05:00
I also saw "The Hateful Eight" and "Krampus" yesterday as well.
The Hateful Eight was an hour too long and didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. The story was nowhere as go as Inglorious Basterds.
Krampus was listed as a funny horror story and it had its moments but missed the mark. A far superior movie is "Rare Exports". It doesn't feature Krampus but it supposedly shows the true Santa Clause. Really dark and funny.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-26T10:37:57-05:00
I'll see SW7 monday evening. Yesterday was awesome. We ended by me and 2 brothers playing Empire Builder with our own rules of loans and helping each other out (for personal gain) and ended at 1:30 am after almost 6 hours when Eli won when I was literally 2 spaces from getting my last pay. That was alot of fun!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-26T10:41:19-05:00
I've never seen a movie more than once in a theater. Besides, our home theater is almost as kickass. And I finally heard yesterday of someone who heard someone say they were slightly disappointed with the new star wars. I think they went in with major expectations and hoping it would cover things it didn't, which is exactly people's problem with 1, 2, and 3. I can't wait, of course, but the movie I've been waiting for much longer and more enthusiastically is Deadpool. That movie will be amazing.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-26T10:56:06-05:00
I have read a little about some people who complained about the movie. They are morons. Is it perfect, no. Is it awesome and everything that star wars should be, pretty much yes.
I went in with zero expectations, haven't watched a trailer for it in quite a few months. Stayed away from the toys. Didn't want anything spoiled. I sat there with either tears in my eyes or the biggest grin on my face, the whole time.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-26T11:07:08-05:00
J.J. Abrams has got a steel set, I grant you that.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-26T14:33:33-05:00
My steel set was back ordered, but should be here in a few days.
A set of stainless steel drink cubes.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-26T18:13:05-05:00
Played a full game of Zombicide BP last night and it was fantastic! !!! So.much fun I can't wait to play when I get the rest of my stuff .... was a huge hit!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-26T20:15:02-05:00
Good to hear, Doc. Hopefully, we'll be playing it tomorrow.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-26T20:58:43-05:00
We had some snow, but it's melting a bit, so to make up for all of this warmth (we had enough rain to have a few feet by now had it been colder), we're to get 1 foot on monday! Unfortunately, it's going to get really bad around the time we go to see Star Wars in one of those deluxe theaters with reclining sofas. I'll walk the 50 miles or whatever if I have to, but that definitely throws a wrench in plans.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-26T21:01:03-05:00
Trinkets, I even avoided the trailers when possible. I really don't want anything even close to a spoiler, though even since not avoiding any internet this whole time, I've only seen one spoiler, and it said SPOILER ALERT, and even though my eyes move too fast to react, it just had a generalized picture and "see more", which was really courteous.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-26T22:33:43-05:00
One thing that was really strange Christmas Day: I saw two films that featured a blizzard on screen while the outside of the theater was a balmy 72 degrees.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-26T22:40:01-05:00
Trinkets it will take abo u to half the game to figure out some of the rules if you have never played zombicide like me before ....so fun though
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-26T23:36:13-05:00
Geist, on Christmas, we watched Star Wars 5, the one that starts on Hoth, the ice planet. But we had snow and will get alot more monday.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-27T01:05:33-05:00
Goodtoknow, Doc. We played the original Zombicide when it first came out. No other Zombicide games since then. A couple guys have watched play through videos. We usually play pretty heavy euro games, so we're used to tons of rules stuff to keep track of. And as always, whenever we play a game that someone is playing for the first time, it doesn't count as an actual win for that game. That way there's no pressure to win, just to make sure everyone had the rules down.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-27T01:07:55-05:00
We tried to watch original trilogy today. I only own it on VHS. I bought it before the special editions where they added all that crap(Han shot first!!!). Couldn't find a working VCR at my folks place, lol.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-27T12:46:21-05:00
And the original ending. I want an original trilogy without all the added crap. The original went overboard on muppets and the prequels went overboard on CGI, but then it tried to force the CGI on the original trilogy as well. We've always had a working vcr. If not for watching videos, which we do, then for recording tv.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-27T17:15:41-05:00
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. I ate too much and watched 4 films over the weekend. I don't plan on hanging out at a party New Years eve. In fact I will be making plans to get back into school this coming spring.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-27T21:54:36-05:00
Doc, we played Z:BP today. I'm glad it wasn't too different than the first one. So we picked up on the changes pretty quickly. It was a lot more fun than the original. Can't wait to play it again. And with all of the extra figures coming, that's going to be tons of replayability. The dashboards are fantastic. That was a fantastic addition to the game
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-27T23:14:43-05:00
Geist, I'm going back and I'm having a party. But if you're going to school, shouldn't you be enrolled soon? I think until the first week in most colleges is when there's no extra penalties, but I'd try to be in before then. So are you getting the heck out of this job to do it and finding a pleasant smaller one for while you're taking classes or will you grin and bare it? (actually, grin and bare it sounds like mooning them all as you leave on your last day. Stick with bearing it.)
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-28T07:51:17-05:00
Trinkets I know the dashboards made it 100% easier than trying to keep track of all your shit...such a nice addition
Well, it's Monday morning...it's supposed to be a day in lieu for the holiday that was on Saturday...and only my manager and I are in the office so far...and she even beat me to the office this morning! That doesn't happen often...I even got in at my normal time.
Powers of Tesla 2015-12-28T11:07:48-05:00
Good morning Kittens. How is everyone fairing this beautiful morning?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-28T11:15:21-05:00
Morning PoT & GM! How was your holiday?
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-28T11:31:27-05:00
Did KS eat my comment?
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-28T11:34:47-05:00
It did!
@Doc and Trinkets: I love the dashboards! One question I have, though, is whether you saw anything in the rules about the fatties having an entourage. I didn't see anything about that, but I was looking at a pdf on my phone because the rule book I got is in French. We played it as if the fatties don't have an entourage. We won the first quest and lost the second. It's a great game!
Powers of Tesla 2015-12-28T12:08:13-05:00
Good morning Geist! My Christmas was pretty good. Not a lot of presents, the wife and I decided we're giving each other a big ass house. And I had to spend the day with my in laws, which is never great, but otherwise it was very nice altogether. How about yourself?
Powers of Tesla 2015-12-28T12:10:51-05:00
Ooops, just looked back a bit and saw your post about Christmas, Geist. We haven't made it to a movie yet, maybe tomorrow. The weather here kinda sucks today so I'm not planning on doing much.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-28T12:34:29-05:00
@LZ, I didn't read the rules, but I also don't remember anything about entourage rules for fatties being mentioned. I'll ask my buddy and see if he k ow anything.
I got all the add-ons, except the heart tokens and the plastic tokens. Though, I did get 3 of the dice.
@BaKhan: Would you like to trade with me?
Now I just need to look busy for 5 hours.

@Zem, that sounds wonderful! Hope you have a good time!
Attack of the Killer Kitten? WTF? It looks like Uno only with kittens on the cards. And they want $10,000 for this? Good luck.
Did you look at the pricing and the types of card decks. ie: the nsfw deck... cost for both is $35...
$35 eh? Where did I see that before?
I'm surprised they didn't offer an autographed deck for $500
Don't go giving them ideas.

What Trinkets said but without the poutine.
Is today over yet? No?....Well shit, only another ~8hours of looking busy.
Happy Christmas Adam, everyone!
I wish I could look busy. Big check run today and then I have to crack the whip to get people to process their invoices that are sitting in the system before month end.
Adam?
Nothing like auditing the pay rates in both the payroll systems....
Yes, Adam. Because in the Bible, Adam came before Eve
Yay, lunch time! Where I don't need to look busy because I can actually sit here and just enjoy my bison stew.
Boo lunchtime...I'm already done all my food. Except my apple, which I save for mid afternoon snack.
Hahaha! Work. lol.
Isn't Christmas the day Jibbers Crabst was born? I don't think Adam and Eve were born on that day.
Happy Festivus!!
Mission accomplished. Mostly.
Used vacation and left work early.
Got in a seriously awesome nap.
On my way to pick up Poutine ingredients!!!
For those who might need to be let in on what Festivus is....

I'll celebrate Krampus day and go out and scare the heck out of the bad little boys and girls.
Yes, Jibbers Crabst was born on Christmas, but tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Calling today Christmas Adam is the lame joke my family does.
Ohhhhhhhh. Now I get it.
Hi all, so I was out of the country when my Exploding Kittens and have only recently opened my package and been playing with friends. However my friends quickly noticed that one of the Exploding Kitten cards has a yellow circle "misprint" on the back that makes it obvious that it's an Exploding Kitten. Has this issue been brought up?
@Paul: I think you're the only one that has brought it up. I will have to check when I get home, but don't think I saw it when I looked at the cards(only looked at the front anyway).
I don't have any misprints on my deck. That's unfortunate. Maybe you can color it in so it's unnoticeable.
Man...some people REALLY have no clue about production, delays that could happen to production, shipping delays, or even the entire concept of what crowd-funding really entails. I'm getting tired of explaining the same stuff to people(actually just telling them to look at the latest update) over and over, usually 2-3 comments after my last time telling them to refer to the comment.
On a better note.....only 2 more hours until I can go home and not be back until Monday(which SHOULD be a holiday for us, but because of the way payroll falls, I need to work it).
And the creators of the project behind my last comment just sent a new update...with no new information....just a discount on another purchase of their product....which no one has received yet....that is one that I can't deny people having issues with.
Well, since my boss told me I can leave whenever I feel comfortable leaving....I'm going to leave now.
If I don't pop back in here(or if any of you don't - I'm looking at you, yeah, you know who you are!) before hand, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. And may your kittens be every explosive.
@ Paul- have you contacted support@explodingkittens.com ? I'd take a pic and email them.
@gm- I know baubax kinda screwed up with that last update- I just feel really bad for them. Some people aren't good with public relations and unless you hire someone to handle it....ugh. They're not even delayed by that much. But wow. I think they're scared becasue of all the angry backers. And if they posted "a factory had issues- there will be another delay" people would lose their shit
Hola again, all! So we've finished the first trilogy (chronologically) in the Star Wars series, will see 4-6 the rest of the week and 7 on monday. Whee!
@Melissa Thanks I'll do just that. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed an obvious post or anything before I go bugging them with my tiny yellow circle. Cheers!
If I hadn't said this before: Merry Christmas Kitten Corps! I know I'm a day early but tomorrow will be busy for me. I got 8:30 am tickets for the Star Wars movie and then I will watch The Hateful Eight. (That is 5 hours of movie watching) Then it's off to a friend's house for Christmas dinner. By the time I get home, I will be full of food and contentment.
Hiya Geist - Merry Christmas to you too! And to all the Kitten Corps and backers! Huzzah!
Merry Christmas everyone
Last second white christmas! It's snowed alot over the past weeks, but always above freezing so it melted. It finally stayed at exactly 32 degrees, just tenths of a degree below freezing, long enough to keep maybe 4-6 in.. Though it'll get to 34 today. Hope it stays finally.
Must be a good christmas. Nobody's checked in. I had my christmas eve tuesday and will have christmas saturday, so my actual holidays are just hangin around, scooping snow, getting snacks, playing games, watching The Flash with my dad and brother, and then the 4th star wars. That's a great day to me, though, so I'm happy as well. Murray Kerstmus!
Merry Christmas!!!
Just found out I have to wake up before 8. Love for my tendency to stay up till at least 2 am, y u do dis? Why do I have to have a normal family? Come to the dark seid! Creatures of the niiiiiiight!
Isn't it funny how your gifts change over time? When I was a little kid, stocking stuffers were things like stuffed animals or little toys. This Christmas, I had a cigar, cigar cutter and matches, wine-opener multitool from Switzerland, ticket to Star Wars, and a deck of cards my dad found in Switzerland with a hot chick on the front. And a paddleboard, because we needed a toy of some sort. Funny enough, we all went straight to the paddleboard and had tons of fun with them.
Yeah. When I was a kid and used to get socks and underwear.....WORST PRESENTS EVAH!!!!!
Now if I do t get socks or underwear, I'm dissapointed,lol.
Got a sweet set of Old fashioned glasses with Green Bay Packer logos on them. Put those bad boys to use last night!!
And a white noise machine. Finally. U can have something to help me sleep without the wife bugging me about the fan being on.
Green Bay Packers are best Packers! They're really the only NFL team I care about at all. And I like getting clothes, depending on them. My mom got me a whole box full of really funny t-shirts online, which is great to me. It basically doubled the amount of shirts I have (so, like 6 or 7).
paddleboard... paddleball. Those paddles with a rubber ball attached with an elastic string and you hit them over and over. Like in Blazing Saddles: the warped one. http://s77.photobucket.com/user/zelmo_2006/media/blazing-saddles-325-1.jpg.html
Yah wish I got half the shit I give my kids for xmas lol. ... got my oldest boy an audi tt roadster electric car....thing even has a working fucking radio in it... and can hook a phone to it.....
My present to myself is a new c ok mouler but have to wait for my reenlistment bonus from the army for that because it's going to be about 2k lol.....the wife got a new dishwasher and microwave.....
New PC....wtf auto correct
Saw Star Wars for the second time probably going to see it for a third time tomorrow or Sunday. Man it is way too awesome
@Trinkets: I saw Star Wars this morning. Better than the prequels, that's for sure.
It will be the first movie that I have seen 3 times while in the theater.
For me, the record for most viewed movie while in theaters is The Adams Family. I saw it 8 times in one day. The sequel was a bit of a disappointment but I gradually learned to love it.
I also saw "The Hateful Eight" and "Krampus" yesterday as well.
The Hateful Eight was an hour too long and didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. The story was nowhere as go as Inglorious Basterds.
Krampus was listed as a funny horror story and it had its moments but missed the mark. A far superior movie is "Rare Exports". It doesn't feature Krampus but it supposedly shows the true Santa Clause. Really dark and funny.
I'll see SW7 monday evening. Yesterday was awesome. We ended by me and 2 brothers playing Empire Builder with our own rules of loans and helping each other out (for personal gain) and ended at 1:30 am after almost 6 hours when Eli won when I was literally 2 spaces from getting my last pay. That was alot of fun!
I've never seen a movie more than once in a theater. Besides, our home theater is almost as kickass. And I finally heard yesterday of someone who heard someone say they were slightly disappointed with the new star wars. I think they went in with major expectations and hoping it would cover things it didn't, which is exactly people's problem with 1, 2, and 3. I can't wait, of course, but the movie I've been waiting for much longer and more enthusiastically is Deadpool. That movie will be amazing.
I have read a little about some people who complained about the movie. They are morons. Is it perfect, no. Is it awesome and everything that star wars should be, pretty much yes.
I went in with zero expectations, haven't watched a trailer for it in quite a few months. Stayed away from the toys. Didn't want anything spoiled. I sat there with either tears in my eyes or the biggest grin on my face, the whole time.
J.J. Abrams has got a steel set, I grant you that.
My steel set was back ordered, but should be here in a few days.
A set of stainless steel drink cubes.
Played a full game of Zombicide BP last night and it was fantastic! !!! So.much fun I can't wait to play when I get the rest of my stuff .... was a huge hit!
Good to hear, Doc. Hopefully, we'll be playing it tomorrow.
We had some snow, but it's melting a bit, so to make up for all of this warmth (we had enough rain to have a few feet by now had it been colder), we're to get 1 foot on monday! Unfortunately, it's going to get really bad around the time we go to see Star Wars in one of those deluxe theaters with reclining sofas. I'll walk the 50 miles or whatever if I have to, but that definitely throws a wrench in plans.
Trinkets, I even avoided the trailers when possible. I really don't want anything even close to a spoiler, though even since not avoiding any internet this whole time, I've only seen one spoiler, and it said SPOILER ALERT, and even though my eyes move too fast to react, it just had a generalized picture and "see more", which was really courteous.
One thing that was really strange Christmas Day: I saw two films that featured a blizzard on screen while the outside of the theater was a balmy 72 degrees.
Trinkets it will take abo u to half the game to figure out some of the rules if you have never played zombicide like me before ....so fun though
Geist, on Christmas, we watched Star Wars 5, the one that starts on Hoth, the ice planet. But we had snow and will get alot more monday.
Goodtoknow, Doc. We played the original Zombicide when it first came out. No other Zombicide games since then. A couple guys have watched play through videos. We usually play pretty heavy euro games, so we're used to tons of rules stuff to keep track of. And as always, whenever we play a game that someone is playing for the first time, it doesn't count as an actual win for that game. That way there's no pressure to win, just to make sure everyone had the rules down.
We tried to watch original trilogy today. I only own it on VHS. I bought it before the special editions where they added all that crap(Han shot first!!!). Couldn't find a working VCR at my folks place, lol.
And the original ending. I want an original trilogy without all the added crap. The original went overboard on muppets and the prequels went overboard on CGI, but then it tried to force the CGI on the original trilogy as well. We've always had a working vcr. If not for watching videos, which we do, then for recording tv.
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. I ate too much and watched 4 films over the weekend. I don't plan on hanging out at a party New Years eve. In fact I will be making plans to get back into school this coming spring.
Doc, we played Z:BP today. I'm glad it wasn't too different than the first one. So we picked up on the changes pretty quickly. It was a lot more fun than the original. Can't wait to play it again. And with all of the extra figures coming, that's going to be tons of replayability. The dashboards are fantastic. That was a fantastic addition to the game
Geist, I'm going back and I'm having a party. But if you're going to school, shouldn't you be enrolled soon? I think until the first week in most colleges is when there's no extra penalties, but I'd try to be in before then. So are you getting the heck out of this job to do it and finding a pleasant smaller one for while you're taking classes or will you grin and bare it? (actually, grin and bare it sounds like mooning them all as you leave on your last day. Stick with bearing it.)
Trinkets I know the dashboards made it 100% easier than trying to keep track of all your shit...such a nice addition
Well, it's Monday morning...it's supposed to be a day in lieu for the holiday that was on Saturday...and only my manager and I are in the office so far...and she even beat me to the office this morning! That doesn't happen often...I even got in at my normal time.
Good morning Kittens. How is everyone fairing this beautiful morning?
Morning PoT & GM! How was your holiday?
Did KS eat my comment?
It did!
@Doc and Trinkets: I love the dashboards! One question I have, though, is whether you saw anything in the rules about the fatties having an entourage. I didn't see anything about that, but I was looking at a pdf on my phone because the rule book I got is in French. We played it as if the fatties don't have an entourage. We won the first quest and lost the second. It's a great game!
Good morning Geist! My Christmas was pretty good. Not a lot of presents, the wife and I decided we're giving each other a big ass house. And I had to spend the day with my in laws, which is never great, but otherwise it was very nice altogether. How about yourself?
Ooops, just looked back a bit and saw your post about Christmas, Geist. We haven't made it to a movie yet, maybe tomorrow. The weather here kinda sucks today so I'm not planning on doing much.
@LZ, I didn't read the rules, but I also don't remember anything about entourage rules for fatties being mentioned. I'll ask my buddy and see if he k ow anything.
