It looks like an episode of Sesamestreet for Pete's sake!
You can say what you want about Dom, but it surely doesn't look like Sesamestreet. :)

Yeah thanks for the link 'Geek but that is one horrific looking game.

I have the opposite problem, I can't find a single game I want! :-[ All games seem to be either dumbed downed versions of the original (re-makes) or have that been there, done that feel to them (sequels).

Please tell me none of you are taking food off the table to buy games. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I think it's healthy we're seeing a lot of that here. ;)

After all, I am a doctor.

I think it's called Attention Deficit Disorder(ADD) or Gaming Attention Deficit Disorder(GADD)

PCs seem to have limited most peoples capacity and ability to concentrate to nothing more than a few sound bytes before they feel a need to move unto something new or different.

You hang around all summer, kicking cans, playing stuff you dont really want to waiting for Rome II knowing thats it until Christmas, then Matrix decide to release Command Naval Ops two weeks after that and now a game ive watched what seems like forever, Molyneux's new Populous game,  a playable Alpha comes out on the 13th, sob, its enough to make a wallet cry

I pretty much dropped all PC gaming expectations once I got Rome II.  That should cover things on the PC for quite a while even though there are a lot of great games coming out.  I'll play many of them eventually.

On the boardgame front -- it looks like some small close action scenarios may be coming up.  One small scenario just came out very well in Flying Colors so that's where things are at.

This would seem to be an inexpensive period -- BUT-- It looks like there are a lot of books about 18th century naval warfare out there.  And many of them are not cheap.

Plus the wife just helped me neaten up the Man Loft so I have lots of room for books about 18th century naval warfare.  It could be an expensive series of months ahead.

Any chance you can rent out that loft? I have no space left and a stalled house renovation.

No!  It's going to be chock-full of books on 18th century naval warfare.  or Warefare.  whatever that is.

But I have all these WWI books that need a good home. And winter is coming.

Sounds to me like someone needs to re-read Game of Thrones.

The Barn.  The Barn.  You can put them in the Barn.  That's where all my WWI books are.
