Gaming 1/18
Well, I hope you guys have fun at D-Lair tomorrow. I'm so sad I won't get in on that Descent. For those of you who need more gaming in your life, I would like to invite you to my place on Wednesday. Come one, come all.

Don't worry... I'm up for playing Descent as often as others are willing!
Wed will be hard for me. :(
I haven't actually played it yet, despite the drool stains on my game box and rules. Personally, I don't mind long games. Titan, Twilight Imperium 3, numerous wargames, Axis and Allies, all are all-day endeavors. Granted, long games are hard to schedule, but as long as they're engaging and fun, they don't bug me.
Heck, compared to playing video games live Civ IV and World of Warcraft, five hours is nothing!
Ahhh...World of Warcraft. And haven't been able to play Civ IV b/c computer broke. Now I'm back to using my super old laptop.
People just don't have the patience for long games these days. Its sad really. Eurogames are like pop culture for geeks.
Patrick: "Eurogames are like pop culture for geeks."
...Hmmm, maybe that's why I don't like euro's all that much. Pop culture is like cancer to my brain.
Long live indie!
...Unless it becomes popular of course, then death to it... ;)

I love it! Government holidays were made for these long duration games. I am working on coercing Kendahl join the dark side and get on my work schedule of having every other Friday off as well...
Part of me likes those long games, but there are some caveats:
-- you've got to be expecting it
-- most games have an appropriate length
When a simple game goes way too long for whatever reason, that's not fun.
Also, I find it very difficult to schedule long games.
I think there is a general rule that if a game _feels_ long, then it is too long. I just don't like how the community is turning away from longer games as a rule. I think Bryant probably spoke to the root of it though. I sympathise of course...i'm married and have a child.
Anyways, are there any takers for Wednesday?
I'd love to but my class schedule only leaves time on mondays and fridays for gaming (plus weekends if I'm not out of town for pleasure...or business depending on how you look at it).
I wish I would've done my schedule differently now that I look at it. Bummer.
I will be at the Spurs game this Wednesday. Most Wednesdays I will not be available till 7:00 because of class.
The rest of this week is toast for me due to work and Air War College. Assuming I pass my test on Friday, next week should look good for gaming.
Patrick, I should be able to make it Wednesday.
Patrick- We should be there around 6:45 - 7:00.
As an extra bonus, Amy's able to make it!
