Mister Shine Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 For sure, I need a reason to buy all the different minis! If they all did the same thing I 'd just buy 10, instead of my like... 70. But I like a layer of complexity in my games. Its why I play wargames instead of checkers.

Mako Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ok, now this I really want: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1351910088/3doodler-the-worlds-first-3d-printing-pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Just started writing up the first part in my Black Joker Series. I'm doing them as collections of "short" stories a bit like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I sorted out the formatting so it looks more like a novel should. I've also been playing around with the titles of different episodes, currently running with the following theme: A Series of Ill-fated Business Agreements A Series of Mistaken Identities A Series of Regrettable Turn of Events A Series of White Lies and Not-So-White Lies A Series of Lost Battles and Misplaced Wars A Series of Doomed Relationships A Series of Humiliating Faux Pas Caught in the Spotlight And so on =] It's been fun to write something that doens't require a ton of world building and prep, but I'm struggling with names (the protagonists is still unnamed atm).

Mister Monkey Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I dropped a pile of cash on the Relics Kickstarter, so no more for me for a while I think, though that pen looks very sweet Mako. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yeah, I can't afford to splash out on it. And I have no idea what I do with it once I got it. But it looks like a good few hours of finger burning fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Between cars and kickstarter I am pretty short of funds.... plus what would I use it for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saighdear Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Good day all. Good luck with the phoning Mako. Why are you cursing computers Steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Heh, I can't curse my computer, it's in HPs repair facility... What's up with yours? Yah, tax and immigration. Two of my favourite departments, both of which seem to want to empty as much of my bank account as they can find an excuse to! Hey Saigh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Having to try and update a site that runs on PHP 4.3. So even installing all the requirements on a test box is taking hours of searching around archived repositories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustcrusher Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Was going to sleep well last night (for once) then the cats got into it and woke me up. We've gotten a third and one of my others still isn't comfortable with her yet. Haven't even looked at taxes yet, but I probably should. I have a feeling I won't be getting a refund this year. Tax increases, I think I just barely crested a new tax bracket last year....something tells me I'll owe a little this year. 2 years ago I had to pay $7, hahaha.

Mister Shine Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I can never tell with my stupid taxes. The problem with working between 2 and 8 days a week is that my tax is a roll of the dice at the end of the year. I have a feeling like Im gonna owe though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I know I owe, because the university doesn't class me as an employee so I have to pay tax but it's not taken from my paycheque. It all comes out my accounts at the end of the year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Well, we finally managed to convince the artistic director of the theatre group that the reason to have someone good at making stuff as the set manager, is so that we can throw out the death trap stuff and make new ones, not so he can try to keep chairs that collapse if you sit on them and fret about not having enough shelves... All in all, not a bad day! Everyone else been having fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Uh... I'm trying to write a post for a new thread, but it's one of my classic walls'o'text and I'm failing epically at answering my own darn question =[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Heh, sounds like a fairly meaty post! If you add enough words, you'll answer it eventually surely? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Looks like I've got Hell Dorado's kickstarter to resist now. I think I'll be fine, but it's always tempting to use it as a one stop purchase to get you and a friend into a new game. I think it'd be an easier sell to my friends than Darklands, but currently there isn't much to tempt me to pledge as opposed to buying two starters in the UK.

Mako Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Evening Ed, what's kicking? That was one massive almost metaphysical block of text Panda, I'm still working it out in my head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Heh, me too. I'm working on sorting out all three of them! Doesn't help that I'm not really a board game person (closest I get is Dominion) so I'm not sure how helpful I'll be... And I do metaphysics for school, and those made more sense than Panda's bit of complexity! *wink* Not too much is going on...working on getting all the data from my league players to determine our winner. A couple of them are out of towners. How's you? Immigration and tax office stuff dealt with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
