@GM, so I finally did the Folklore pm and it was pretty easy to do. I wasn't sure what to think about the tip jar thing though. I ended up giving them $10 but I did think it was a bit weird. What did you think?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-13T20:55:23-05:00
GM, good point.
BaKhan, fiber will reclaim the lost food of 2 days? Seriously, that's just a mystery!
Creeper, I know we can, but there're no plans for a party or dedications or who will get it and you know everyone will be watching and spam for it and I'll likely be at a class and get butthurt and/or really sad about it. Or it could be over the weekend, I'd get it since I'm the only one there consistently, or so it seems, and then nobody will be there to hear my success. But more likely the first scenario. Just saiyan.
Or no one will really care but it's just a fun thing to look for.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-13T21:50:37-05:00
Hey, I just realized, a year ago, the campaign was up and running, starting to hit news outlets.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-13T21:52:16-05:00
Nevermind, I was close. I keep thinking they started it earlier. We should have a party of some kind on the 20th, a week from today. And the day it ended. Which one is the real anniversary?
Remember sitting around, watching the counter keep ticking up for like 2 hours after the end?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-13T22:08:06-05:00
@Creeper: Maybe if we can get some of the old KC members to come back, we can get to 100,000 before the end of the month
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T06:42:41-05:00
Morning kittens.
Stressful day today. Dentist appointment at 11 and today is a soft check run if the utilities people send me their paperwork.
I'd it Friday yet?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T08:49:19-05:00
Jesus. Alan Rickman just died. I officially hate 2016.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-14T08:57:47-05:00
He what now? Who told him he could do that? Next they're going to say Robin Williams has died! (yes, that was sarcasm, just so I don't get any concerned replies again)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-14T09:02:10-05:00
RIP Dr. Lazarus. By Grabthor's Hammer, you shall be avenged!
Wait a second... I think he was the same age as Bowie! Alert the interwebs! 69 is actually a cursed year! Legend says if you're 69 in 2016, you die!
@Zem - I think a year since the campaign launched is a good one. Especially how it took off immediately. How much raise that first day? It was so crazy!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T09:18:52-05:00
Wasn't it something like $10,000 raised in 5 minutes? $1,000,000 raised in a week?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T09:42:15-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T10:04:23-05:00
"Nice suit. John Phillips, London. I have 2 myself. Rumor is Arafat buys his there."- Hans Gruber.
You beat me to the Galaxy Quest quote, Zem.
Wow. So in a short span we have lost, Lemmy, Bowie, AND Alan Rickman?!!?!!
RIP Snape! Dammit! Now my wife is going to be really sad, she's still very upset about Bowie... I wonder, is it the age I'm getting to, where it seems like all the best tallent is dying off? Does every generation feel this way?
@BaKhan: I didn't see anything like that, I'm still wondering what the wooden boxes will be like(I pledged for one, but not sure if I will get it...hopefully they let us know more details before the closing of the PM).
...It looks like KS ate my comment responding to you BaKhan. So here it is again:
I didn't see the tip part, since I'm still waiting on more information regarding the wooden boxes(I did pledge for one, and not sure of it will be worth getting the large one or the small one) before I go to the final steps.
@Trinkets: Yeah, I'm backing it. I can justify the $33 US for the deluxe version. I have(I think) all of the other ones. And honestly, the way that those campaigns, as well as the fact it's a game you can play with little ones easily, makes it a group I will keep coming back to.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T10:39:38-05:00
Even though we have only played around 5 games of TEK (I have won all 5), We all really like it. Maybe more than TEG, which we all really liked that.
I have had the same strategy for all 5. Get as much ore and build the castle (forgot it's name) card up to the top level first and end the game quickly. The other guys say they now know how to stop me, but we'll see. As long as I keep 2 meeples on my ore giving areas, shouldn't be a problem.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T10:49:39-05:00
@GM, you don't see it until you are at the second last step of checking out. It kind of felt a little bit like a guilt trip to be honest. It shows how much the shipping will cost, even though it is supposed to be free for that level, and then it asks if you want to help cover those costs, in the form of a "tip jar". I am probably a bit soft as I strongly believe in tipping good service, but in that instance, I wasn't sure what to do. So I caved, c'est la vie. Not a big deal, just a bit of a wut situation.
I also like how the dice are going to be for this one. They look awesome, and the test he did(salt water solution and spinning them in there) proves that they will be at least decent.
Woah, wait. You still had to "pay" for shipping through the tip? o.O
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T10:53:13-05:00
As far as the "Tiny Epic" series of games go, the meeples are what loses my attention. I don't know why, but I just hate them. I would rather have a crappy mini than a meeple any day. Meeples are like the sweat pants of the gaming world. Sweat pants are great if you're just slobbing around the house, but you'll never make a good impression in them.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T10:56:15-05:00
@GM, yeah, basically. I mean you don't have to but, when you see a tip jar, there's always that moment where you're forced to make that decision. I always feel a bit guilty if I don't leave something in the tip jar as I know the employees, a) appreciate it, and b) typically rely on it (at least somewhat) to pad their pay. Like I said, I kicked in $10, so not the end of the world (even though it was $14 something CAD).
@BaKhan: But the Meeples are more kid friendly, since they don't have sharp edges that a little one might jab themselves with, that's what I like about it. I can play the game with my cousins kids and not worry about the little ones hurting themselves.
@BaKhan: I might just use some of the excess from my pledge(might just go for the smaller of the two wooden boxes rather than the bigger one) to add to that. After getting everything I need/want from the add-ons.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T11:00:27-05:00
@GM, fair enough, I get that. I have lots of games I can play with little ones that are safe for them that don't require meeples, so thats not an issue for me. Click Clack Lumberjack, Mouse Trap, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Bed Bugs, etc. I love those old school games, and still have many from my own childhood! ;)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T11:02:07-05:00
Lol. I'm sure he would make tiny plastic figures but it would raise the cost of the games. Which I believe is against the idea of a small cheap
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T11:02:20-05:00

(Accidentally pushed the post comment button)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T11:03:35-05:00
@GM, those Dogmight boxes were coolish, but not cool enough to justify that steep price, imo. I liked them, just didn't love them, especially at $100 for the single player box (which I think would feel weird to use unless everyone had one) and $300 for the game box. I'd need to win the powerball before I'd be comfortable with those prices.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T11:04:35-05:00
@Trinkets, yeah, accidentally... mmmyeah thats it! ;) I mean, its not like we're trying to get to 100 000 comments or anything...
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T11:08:27-05:00
I have zero intention of trying to get us there faster, or be the 100,000 comment. Heck, on my phone, I can't even see the count unless I slide the screen over.
I don't mind meeples. What I do mind is plastic cubes instead of wooden ones. I'm glad my friend got the early copy of Clash of Cultures. And I wish all the cubes in Robinson Crusoe were all wooden and not some of each.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T11:09:35-05:00
It's the only item I'm backing this year. If I back anything else, BaKhan has permission to smack the back of my head(like you would when someone is being an idiot).
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-14T11:37:43-05:00
I might have been able to back it if I hadn't dropped over $250 on the Others
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T11:38:36-05:00
I backed it mostly because those minis are awesome.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-14T12:10:54-05:00
See, that's why I'm not even going to follow that link. The easiest way to survive the year is to not allow myself to be led into temptation.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T12:14:14-05:00
You know you want to, LZ! Come on....it's only one little link. One click won't hurt.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T12:14:52-05:00
Ok. From what I saw, without getting too into it, reminds me of Rum & Bones.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T12:38:08-05:00
Back from the dentist. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Have to go back next week for them to finish. Waiting for the soreness to go down.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-14T13:06:21-05:00
Holy cow, you guys trying to get to 100,000 today or something?! More than a full page in just a few hours! I wish we had a tracker to see how many comments per day we've had since the end of the campaign. How long you think until we hit a million? I'll likely be the only one here then, old and dusty, commenting to myself like a diary or something.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T13:29:09-05:00
Good news, Geist.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T13:34:57-05:00
Comment # 999,815...
"Only 185 more to go. It's so lonely in here. I've been the only commenter for the past 4 years....except for that one guy who popped in last week asking when he's getting his copy of Exploding Kittens.
Hello?
Is anyone out there?
I know some people are still popping in here and reading this. Elan? The Oatmeal? Creeper? Lord Zombitten? Trinkets? Geist? Doc? Our Canadian friends GM and BaKhan? Anyone?
Ugh. Oh well.
Someday.
Hopefully I have the fortitude to make it to 1,000,000. "
-Zem
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T13:38:49-05:00
I dunno how good Trinkets. I didn't eat breakfast, didn't bring lunch and I'm not sure if I can drink. Sketchy indeed.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T13:39:14-05:00
Someone go hunt up Prime and tell him to come back here.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T13:48:50-05:00
So, I am having some Cheetos flamin' hot fries.
My mouth is begging for help.
Geist. The intense pain from these should numb the soreness from your mouth
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T13:52:58-05:00
Ok. What is everyone's favorite all-time board game? The one if you were forced to give up playing all others but one. What is ut?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T13:53:05-05:00
@Trinkets: Nope. That would just make me throw up.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T13:54:08-05:00
What is ut?
A brand of potato chips?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T13:58:15-05:00
*what is it?
Sorry
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T14:01:34-05:00
I would have to go with Firefly from gale force 9.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-14T14:07:28-05:00
Trinkets, you know at the last second, as I'm spamming to be safe to get 1,000,000, somebody will ask where their deck is and take it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-14T14:08:04-05:00
Probably Axis&Allies for me.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T14:20:37-05:00
Years ago, I might have said A&A or Risk.
Iy really should be Caverna, for me. But it's Firefly. I am not sure if there is another game that is as fun for me to play and still lose. There are TONS of awesomeness that I could easily say would be my favorite and be ok with it...............but it's Firefly.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T14:22:51-05:00
I'm not sure what mine would be honestly. I haven't had the chance to get together with friends and play a board game in a LONG time. Last game I played, I believe was Risk. Ended up conquering most of the Western World then working my way into Australia and holing both for a long time.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T14:56:45-05:00
The Sims 2 or 3.
Sorry, there isn't a board game that I like that much.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T15:01:41-05:00
@Trinkets, thats hard to say, as I normally play a game until I'm pretty much sick of it. A&A, Risk, both played to death, you couldn't even tempt me to play those anymore. A&A played it for years and years, but found it got too repetitious, granted this would have changed with the players. Risk only ends two ways for me, either everyone gangs up and takes me out first, or I win, I played that game with my parents all the time, probably starting when I was 5.
Some of the newer ones that I am really enjoying currently, are of course EK (do card games count?), Eldrich Horror (which is my game that I can lose and still love, its hard but it should be), and Ghostbusters (not the hardest game, but lots of fun even with people who don't game often).
@Geist: If we are including video games...right now it would be Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward(the expansion to A Realm Reborn). All because I've been making friends on there, as well as making progress on it(still haven't done anywhere near 1/5 of the game)
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-14T15:22:54-05:00
I can't really even feel the spice in Flamin Hot Cheetos.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-14T15:23:46-05:00
I think right now my game would be Zombicide...as long as I'm allowed to keep all of the add-ons I have.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T15:28:45-05:00
Eldritch Horror. Another of my faves. Good call, BaKhan.
I was going for board games only. But if you want to do a video gme as well, FF VII. As long as I live and breathe.
Yes, LZ, add-on and expansions included.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T15:29:37-05:00
GM, you never asked the 'Corps if you could have other friends ;-)
@Trinkets: Well, stuff like that happens when you get dragged along from one Free Company(basically a guild) to another by one of your best friends. Went from an almost dead FC to one where it's a little hard to follow the chat unless it's a private message/linkshell(group chat separate from general or FC chat). So we've been able to actually chat and get to know more people.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T15:41:45-05:00
@LZ, I have never played any of the older Zombicide versions, I just got into it with BP. I have painted some of the heros 4/6 but haven't actually played a game yet. Can't wait to try it though!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T15:43:55-05:00
If we are including video games, I stand by my original answer. I'm have an age gap problem with modern video games, and I won't lie. I just can not get into the first person shooter type games, and I find most of the other ones that I've tried are not as fun as their less flashy ancestors... ;) And I was so eager to get the PS4 when it first came out too... :( It makes a nice dust collector now.
@BaKhan: Most shooters these days are just a rehash of another one. The one I actually enjoy(and play a match or two a night) is Rainbow Six Siege. Don't even need to play with friends. Playing with a group of random people sometimes ends with you dominating the opposing team(and if that happens, your group usually stays together for the next matches until someone leaves). I can't wait to get Tom Clancy's The Division. It's set in post-apocalyptic New York, and looks like it will be amazing.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T16:08:42-05:00
Since I finished FF VII a few months ago, the k ly games I have been playing are Fallout 3 GoY edition, Skyrim, and Diablo 3.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T16:09:13-05:00
I haven't played Diablo 3 since the Reaper of Souls(I think that's what it was called) expansion. It wasn't bad, but WAY too easy to get through. Nice graphics is pretty much all it had going for it.
I couldn't get into Fallout, just not my thing. As for Skyrim....F*** THAT! I got stuck and lost 3+ hours of gameplay(stranded on an island with NO way off, couldn't swim, couldn't fast travel, no NPCs anywhere around). I gave up because I couldn't be bothered to redo that stuff.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-14T16:24:42-05:00
53 and sunny. Final offer. Any takers? I'll throw in the fact that it feels exactly like early May if you can promise 15 F or below!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-14T16:28:55-05:00
LZ, of course you can't feel it. There's no true spice in American food.
If we're going video games, that's tough, but... no, I don't think I do have a single answer. I'd have to think on that for a long time.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T16:38:36-05:00
What the heck has my phone been drinking today?
Are you sure you didn't buy the phone flask that BaKhan showed me? Your phone could be nipping from there.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T16:51:28-05:00
@Geist, I think you just hit on an untapped market! Phone flasks for your phone!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T16:55:45-05:00
lol, start up a KS campaign BaKhan. I'll buy 20 of them.
@GM, so I finally did the Folklore pm and it was pretty easy to do. I wasn't sure what to think about the tip jar thing though. I ended up giving them $10 but I did think it was a bit weird. What did you think?
C'mon guys (myself included) 400 comments in a few more days
We can do it!
GM, good point.
BaKhan, fiber will reclaim the lost food of 2 days? Seriously, that's just a mystery!
Creeper, I know we can, but there're no plans for a party or dedications or who will get it and you know everyone will be watching and spam for it and I'll likely be at a class and get butthurt and/or really sad about it. Or it could be over the weekend, I'd get it since I'm the only one there consistently, or so it seems, and then nobody will be there to hear my success. But more likely the first scenario. Just saiyan.
Or no one will really care but it's just a fun thing to look for.

Anyone backing Tiny Epic Western?
I have played TE Galaxies and TE Kingdoms. Both are really fun.
KS must have just been chewing on it for a while, GM.

I have zero intention of trying to get us there faster, or be the 100,000 comment. Heck, on my phone, I can't even see the count unless I slide the screen over.
I don't mind meeples. What I do mind is plastic cubes instead of wooden ones. I'm glad my friend got the early copy of Clash of Cultures. And I wish all the cubes in Robinson Crusoe were all wooden and not some of each.
Ok, maybe a little intention of it ;-)
Blurgh, thanks for the info. I thought she had passed earlier as well, but the date said January 11th, so it threw me.
I know it was discussed before, has anyone informed Elan that the 100,000 comment is showing up? It would be cool if he popped in for it.
I emailed the EK people and let them know we'd like it to happen on the one year anniversary. :)
So we need to keep chatting!
I would back TEW, but I'm not allowed to back any games this year.
I kind of liked TEG a little more than TEK. I have the Deluxe edition of each of those
Interesting. I got comment #99,666. That seems vaguely ominous.
It's the only item I'm backing this year. If I back anything else, BaKhan has permission to smack the back of my head(like you would when someone is being an idiot).
I might have been able to back it if I hadn't dropped over $250 on the Others
LZ, now you need to shoot for comment 99,966.
@GM, Really! Oh snap!!! On a completely unrelated note, check this out: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/697125425/guards-of-atlantis-tabletop-moba/description
;P
...You suck BaKhan. And I have already broken that "no more backing this year".
@GM, ;) sorry about that... as a punishment to myself, I have backed it as well... wouldn't have been fair otherwise...
I backed it mostly because those minis are awesome.
See, that's why I'm not even going to follow that link. The easiest way to survive the year is to not allow myself to be led into temptation.
You know you want to, LZ! Come on....it's only one little link. One click won't hurt.
Ok. From what I saw, without getting too into it, reminds me of Rum & Bones.
Back from the dentist. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Have to go back next week for them to finish. Waiting for the soreness to go down.
Holy cow, you guys trying to get to 100,000 today or something?! More than a full page in just a few hours! I wish we had a tracker to see how many comments per day we've had since the end of the campaign. How long you think until we hit a million? I'll likely be the only one here then, old and dusty, commenting to myself like a diary or something.
Good news, Geist.
Comment # 999,815...
"Only 185 more to go. It's so lonely in here. I've been the only commenter for the past 4 years....except for that one guy who popped in last week asking when he's getting his copy of Exploding Kittens.
Hello?
Is anyone out there?
I know some people are still popping in here and reading this. Elan? The Oatmeal? Creeper? Lord Zombitten? Trinkets? Geist? Doc? Our Canadian friends GM and BaKhan? Anyone?
Ugh. Oh well.
Someday.
Hopefully I have the fortitude to make it to 1,000,000. "

I dunno how good Trinkets. I didn't eat breakfast, didn't bring lunch and I'm not sure if I can drink. Sketchy indeed.
Someone go hunt up Prime and tell him to come back here.
So, I am having some Cheetos flamin' hot fries.
My mouth is begging for help.
Geist. The intense pain from these should numb the soreness from your mouth
Ok. What is everyone's favorite all-time board game? The one if you were forced to give up playing all others but one. What is ut?
@Trinkets: Nope. That would just make me throw up.
What is ut?
A brand of potato chips?
*what is it?
Sorry
I would have to go with Firefly from gale force 9.
Trinkets, you know at the last second, as I'm spamming to be safe to get 1,000,000, somebody will ask where their deck is and take it.
Probably Axis&Allies for me.
Years ago, I might have said A&A or Risk.
Iy really should be Caverna, for me. But it's Firefly. I am not sure if there is another game that is as fun for me to play and still lose. There are TONS of awesomeness that I could easily say would be my favorite and be ok with it...............but it's Firefly.
*It not Iy.
Stupid drunk phone at it again.
I'm not sure what mine would be honestly. I haven't had the chance to get together with friends and play a board game in a LONG time. Last game I played, I believe was Risk. Ended up conquering most of the Western World then working my way into Australia and holing both for a long time.
The Sims 2 or 3.
Sorry, there isn't a board game that I like that much.
@Trinkets, thats hard to say, as I normally play a game until I'm pretty much sick of it. A&A, Risk, both played to death, you couldn't even tempt me to play those anymore. A&A played it for years and years, but found it got too repetitious, granted this would have changed with the players. Risk only ends two ways for me, either everyone gangs up and takes me out first, or I win, I played that game with my parents all the time, probably starting when I was 5.
Some of the newer ones that I am really enjoying currently, are of course EK (do card games count?), Eldrich Horror (which is my game that I can lose and still love, its hard but it should be), and Ghostbusters (not the hardest game, but lots of fun even with people who don't game often).
@Geist: If we are including video games...right now it would be Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward(the expansion to A Realm Reborn). All because I've been making friends on there, as well as making progress on it(still haven't done anywhere near 1/5 of the game)
I can't really even feel the spice in Flamin Hot Cheetos.
I think right now my game would be Zombicide...as long as I'm allowed to keep all of the add-ons I have.
Eldritch Horror. Another of my faves. Good call, BaKhan.
I was going for board games only. But if you want to do a video gme as well, FF VII. As long as I live and breathe.
Yes, LZ, add-on and expansions included.
GM, you never asked the 'Corps if you could have other friends ;-)
@Trinkets: Well, stuff like that happens when you get dragged along from one Free Company(basically a guild) to another by one of your best friends. Went from an almost dead FC to one where it's a little hard to follow the chat unless it's a private message/linkshell(group chat separate from general or FC chat). So we've been able to actually chat and get to know more people.
@LZ, I have never played any of the older Zombicide versions, I just got into it with BP. I have painted some of the heros 4/6 but haven't actually played a game yet. Can't wait to try it though!
If we are including video games, I stand by my original answer. I'm have an age gap problem with modern video games, and I won't lie. I just can not get into the first person shooter type games, and I find most of the other ones that I've tried are not as fun as their less flashy ancestors... ;) And I was so eager to get the PS4 when it first came out too... :( It makes a nice dust collector now.
@BaKhan: Most shooters these days are just a rehash of another one. The one I actually enjoy(and play a match or two a night) is Rainbow Six Siege. Don't even need to play with friends. Playing with a group of random people sometimes ends with you dominating the opposing team(and if that happens, your group usually stays together for the next matches until someone leaves). I can't wait to get Tom Clancy's The Division. It's set in post-apocalyptic New York, and looks like it will be amazing.
Since I finished FF VII a few months ago, the k ly games I have been playing are Fallout 3 GoY edition, Skyrim, and Diablo 3.
*Only games
What the heck has my phone been drinking today?
I haven't played Diablo 3 since the Reaper of Souls(I think that's what it was called) expansion. It wasn't bad, but WAY too easy to get through. Nice graphics is pretty much all it had going for it.
I couldn't get into Fallout, just not my thing. As for Skyrim....F*** THAT! I got stuck and lost 3+ hours of gameplay(stranded on an island with NO way off, couldn't swim, couldn't fast travel, no NPCs anywhere around). I gave up because I couldn't be bothered to redo that stuff.
53 and sunny. Final offer. Any takers? I'll throw in the fact that it feels exactly like early May if you can promise 15 F or below!
LZ, of course you can't feel it. There's no true spice in American food.
If we're going video games, that's tough, but... no, I don't think I do have a single answer. I'd have to think on that for a long time.
What the heck has my phone been drinking today?
Are you sure you didn't buy the phone flask that BaKhan showed me? Your phone could be nipping from there.
@Geist, I think you just hit on an untapped market! Phone flasks for your phone!
lol, start up a KS campaign BaKhan. I'll buy 20 of them.
Oh oh they could be trinkets! Trinkets trinkets!
