    Played Samurai Spirit on the weekend. Really fun little coop game that is similar to ghost stories but I think it's a lot simpler but just as challenging. Quite quick. Our games took under 30 minutes and most of that was due to get used to it, so wouldn't be surprised to see it gone in 15 min or...

    Cities: Skylines

    Yep, all versions will activate through Steam. Cities XL was disappointing, especially since it was the sequel to one of my favourite city builders, City Life. That gave actually tried to do new and interesting things with different goals to aim for and specific requirements to unlock various...

    Yeah. Nice to get a solid win but frustration that no other results went out way. Still, made up a little grand in terms of gold difference at least!

    Cities: Skylines

    Am slightly worried about how like Sim City it is, with the happy faces popping up when you do stuff, and the general grid layout system. It almost feels like they're using the sim city engine and doing it right, which would probably be fine as it is. Hopefully it's just a bag impression I'm...

    Picked up Rise to Power on the weekend:Rise to Power | Board Game | BoardGameGeek Neat little city building type card game that I've been eyeing off for a while. Finally got a chance to try it and enjoyed it enough to pick it up. Quite a bit cheaper than other games I've bought recently, though...

    Krypton

    I actually think it had more potential than Gotham because it is far more removed from the 'main' story and its characters. There would be less need to drop in characters every episode like they do in Gotham. That said, prequels rarely work, so there's a much higher chance it will be a failure.

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    fucking great result and even better performance. Looked on top for most of the match and fully deserved the three points. Next three games are going to be huge in terms of how much we can secure a top 4 spot.

    Spahtukis

    I would love to see a series based around Hannibal Barca that was done in the same style as Spartacus. While seeing the triumvirate done would be good, it feels like that story been done a lot already. Not sure I've seen any movie or tv show tackle the Hannibal story.

    Was planning to give Telestrations a try this weekend but apparently it's completely sold out in Australia. Going to try and make my own copy using notepads and pictionary cards.

    Europa Universalis IV

    New DLC just came out? Bit over the game, mostly due to how much time it takes up. Probably wait until this one's on sale before picking it up.

    Played first game of Shadows over Brimstone last night. Pretty cool game. Probably went a bit too long but that was mostly because it was first game for everyone, so lots of explaining and discussion along the way. Holy shit does it have a lot of pieces. So glad it's not mine and I didn't...

    Yeah, but they're at home two days before we away to Besiktas. Just in terms of travel fatigue, they'll have an edge. You're right about it being a free game, and a draw would be a good result. I'd almost be happy with a loss just to help fuck Chelsea's title chances.

    I used the superfluous catan expansion box to house my print and play version of spyfall. It seems appropriate for it to be hiding out in a different game.

    Vikings

    Starts tonight! Easily one of my favourite shows. I do wish it was on a channel that allowed a bit more of the blood and guts the Vikings were famous for, but the History Channel has done a great job with it so far.

    Board Games

    From what I hear, it involves ripping cards up. Obviously you don't have to do that. But there are also stickers you place on the board, not sure how hard they are to remove while keeping them intact. And packets of cards that are broken open at various point. I guess if you're careful and...

    I pretty much had the same reservations and from what I've gathered it's pretty much as you're thinking. You're better off playing with the same regular group of people. People can sub in and out if need be, but that's not really optimal. There does appear to be an end around 15 games I...

    I think it's pretty harsh calling them moochers! I know around here, in my various groups, there's quite a few people who just like to buy the games and need the extra bodies to actually play them. Even on the small ones I've bought, I want people to play them with so I get to experience them.

    Nice coincidence that video for Argent was just released. I'm a fan of the Watch It Played channel for providing clear instructions on how to play the games rather than reviewing them. Handy to pass on to new people you want to introduce a game to so they have a basic understanding of how to...

    E-Shop DCS having a sale on all their stuff, 70% off. They are probably the best simulators out atm. The base world is free, but then you buy the modules to plug into it, depending which planes / choppers/ tanks you want to fly. Flaming Cliffs looks like particularly good value since it...

    Here's my storage so far. The pink stuff is no slip padding, which I found for $2 and adds some nice cushioning to each of the apartments. Unfortunately it's just think enough that the Nexu won't fit with it, and even the Wookie is a tight squeeze. When all packed up, with the rules and...

    Even that would stretch my budget a little since I don't plan to make any more inserts in the forseeable future. Between Dead of Winter and Star Wars, and all the associated stuff I've chosen to buy for them on top, I've pretty much blown my board game budget for the year! I will say that...

    Better Call Saul

    I'm generally pretty against prequels since 95% of the time they turn out terrible. This has started well though and I'm looking forward to watching more. I also thinks it has the potential to be better than Breaking Bad. BB had some great, absolutely brilliant episodes and story arcs, but it...

    Cheers! Though that one might not be suitable for me. I doubt my ability to cut accurately to use plans (would love a tool like Vaclav linked but I've already spent way too much), though I do like the appeal of not having to work out and design something myself. Mostly I'm also a big fan of...

    It's good to see our Suarez money signings starting to come good. Don't think Balotelli will ever work out, his style just doesn't fit our, but Markovich, Can, Morena are turning out good. Lallana was probably overpriced but seems handy to have in the squad. As much as I would love to see new...
