Probably do fuck all this weekend. Tonight a short After Work then chill with the family, order in some food and play Pillars of Eternity.
Probably the same on saturday. Maybe visit an aquarium with the lad, or something. Fucking boring with no Premier league on.
I've got my first free weekend in about 3 months, and there's no football on. Typical.
Lots of time for that. You probably had to clamber over bails of hay and piles of flat caps that had fallen off the back of lorries as well.
Lol at that. Hammer was just moaning the other day that there wasn't enough time in the week as well.
Cards Against Humanity isn't shit, you just play shit shit people. Most people just can't deliver comedy so it's just a bunch of hitler jokes told in a monotone voice.
If you're with funny people all it's doing is stifling that humour because you're stuck with whatever comes up, so it's restrictive and shit. If you're with unfunny people it's the Hitler and dead baby jokes.
It's April Fool's Day all over again.
My placement starts next week so it was my last Thursday off.
As for Cards Against Humanity - it's what you make of it. If people enjoy it, what's the problem?
I've played it with shit people and it hasn't been as good, but generally I've had a really good laugh with it.
What the fuck is that? Have you read some hidden post where someone said it should be banned?
People have moaned about it a couple of times. I just don't understand why people even pay attention to it if they don't like it.
Lewis mentioned it because he'd been playing it that night, and other people who've played it chimed in with their opinions on it. What point are you even making up there? Don't call something shit if other people might like it?
I'm not sure if it's that important.
Slow day?
John needs his hole stat.
After a summer of stag dos, weddings and trips to London, tomorrow I am off to a 50th
So you don't know what point you're making either? That's fine.
My hole stat is fine, Mert.
I missed a comma. Should have been hole, stat.
As in statim, Latin for immediately.
He knows.
I mostly agree with John on cards against humanity. With idiots it is always going to be relentless shit. I don't think it is totally pointless with funny decent people, but not much shelf life. I would happily play it once with a decent group and have absolutely no intention of touching it again.
We went to a board game pub in Montreal. It blew my mind because I do that with my friends in Utah anyways, except with a few cans of Polygamy Porter instead of fancy cocktails, but I'd never thought about monetizing it.
I've been donning my friends at Stratego lately. Probably the best board game.
Egyptian War m8. Slap each other all night long
I got really into board games for about 6 months and then I lost all interest.
Reviewing the WWI online-focused videogame that's out that isn't Battlefield. Our editor's talking with the metacritic bloke on Wednesday. I mean, he won't budge but at least he's in touch.
You do game reviews Shin?
Won't budge on what?
We've been after metacritic status for a while and, as a result, we've been hitting social media quite a bit. We're doing fine with the indies without it but metacritic status would open some doors at the bigger companies for review codes and such.
Picked up a ticket this morning for the hurling later. First final I'll ever have made it to, never thought I'd ever see one in the flesh.
It's nice that they've given you day release so you can go.
That was hilarious. And for you I'm not even joking.
My cousin has left her four year old with us, and he's still a prick.
Knock him out.
I said to my mother that it would be easy to get away with chinning him, because 1) why would I flatten a four year old; and 2) why would you believe him over me? I appreciate that that is classic nonce logic, but that doesn't mean it is completely without merit.
Yesterday was the last night out for the bird i've been seeing before she goes on her travels. Sort of appropriate that we spent our last day (quite likely EVER) in a romantic context just groaning and being hungover.
Ended the After Work on friday with some beastly 8.5% beer. After that I ordered in burgers and since the lady didn't want hers, I ate two, and a bunch of chips obviously. Safe to say I was a little downed by that, so when I put the lad to sleep I fell asleep myself for a bit, and when I managed to get up at like 22.30 there was no going back. Really wanted to play some games, but had to go to bed like an old man. Soon I'll start to fall asleep on the couch, beer in hand, as well.
Going for my first visit to Alton Towers at the weekend. I've never been on a proper rollercoaster before. No idea how much of a coward I'm going to be.
Think I'll give Smiler a swerve.
Go on everything and don't hold on.
I remember going on the Shockwave at Drayton Manor and not being able to understand why nobody else on the ride was relieved it was all over.
i'm fucking terrified of rollercoasters
Yeah, fuck rollercoasters.
Rollercoasters are great, you beta cuck pussies
(except when they're run by carnies and/or malfunction and sever your legs)
I've always been fine with fairground rides and rollercoasters but the last time I went on the waltzers there were a few moments where it really was a bit much.
I've come to realise I'm fucking terrified of heights on behalf of my child thanks to Liveleak.
Held on. We didn't really get a full day there because we drove down this morning but went on most of the main ones I think, at least the ones I'd heard of (Smiler, Nemesis, Oblivion, Galactica*, Thi3teen.)
I certainly didn't hate any of it but nor do I get the buzz out of it that other people seem to where they come off and clearly have the adrenaline going.
It's also a fucking expensive day out when you spend an hour queueing for something that's over in about two inutes.
Unsure whether I'd go again or not.
I ordered a burger yesterday that came with chips and coleslaw; but, because coleslaw is wank, I - against my mother's advice - successfully asked them to swap it for some extra chips. On a scale of Jeremy Corbyn to Jesus, how much of a balls-out revolutionary am I?
Getting extra chips in place of sloppy grated vegetables is some good work.
I am mystified by this too. There are quite a lot of people who come off a three minute rollercoaster or ride and look/act like they've just had a marathon night with *insert whoever the current sex goddess is as I don't know or care*.
I asked for extra cream on some waffle thing the other week, and the teenage girl making it said 'Of course you can' as if I was a mong child asking for a balloon. I think that might be the secret to success.
There's quite a lot of research around just asking people for shit and them being compliant - like asking for 10% off something you're buying (if it's kinda expensive). Mostly, it's worth a punt and the worst they'll do is make you pay the actual price.
I tried that with a mechanic once.
'Fuck off mate, you wouldn't ask for a discount at Sainsburys'
It's our anniversary today and the bitch has booked herself and her mother a spa day. Best anniversary ever.
