Redd.Cohen Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 So I'm eating chicken jerky with ranch. It's quite interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 The Director managed to jack up both her laptops today. Looks like I get to try and save the day again. At least I don't have to work tomorrow, but the GF's gotta get out of her old apartment in the next few days and because of my surgery I can't lift more than 10 pounds at a time. She put it off until right before she had to leave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 That's not good, Dust...doing any better after the surgery? And chicken jerky? I think I'll pass, I eat too much chicken as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redd.Cohen Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1334239018/jetpack-unicorn?ref=live We've been working on this in the office for a while now with a couple of other people. Really stoked to see this! I'm just saying, if you like fun story-telling games and jetpacks strapped to unicorns, this is your jam.

Dustcrusher Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'm doing a lot better now- now I just feel sore instead of in pain, and I can eat without getting ill (mostly), but I still can't lift heavy things for 2 1/2 more weeks. I have a variant of Apples to Apples I thought might be a fun game- since I doubt I'll ever get to make a proper version, I can share. Basically it's a card game take on the Food Network series Chopped. You have a Mystery Ingredient deck, a coated Pantry reference card for each player and a crayon (to keep track of what ingredients have already been used), and a Description deck (used to add fancy-sounding words and cooking processes to the dish description). Each round, one person plays the Judge. The others are Chefs. The top four cards of the Mystery Ingredient deck are revealed. The Chefs have to use their Pantry cards and Description cards to come up with a dish using all four Mystery Ingredients. The Judge then ranks each Chef's description, giving the best 3 points, the second best 2, and the rest 1 point each. The winner after 3 rounds becomes the next Judge. I just see the potential for hideous creations like Broccoli Infused Goat Cheese Liver Marmalade and Fried Candy Corn Lamb with Anise-Encrusted Cauliflower. Probably not for everyone but done right I think it would make a lot of food snobs laugh. If this idea happens to be a good one and you guys steal it I'm going to be very unhappy :Sad_Puppet1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowchikawowers Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I think that may be a kick starter I can get behind. I've never done one before, but my family loves to do game nights and tell stories. Could be pretty awesome. Also: I think I might have a bread addiction. Our freezers (yes, plural) and fridge and bread basket are almost literally overflowing with bread, and yet... I continue to more... I eat it, but I can't consume as fast as fast or as much as I can purchase from the local bakery... Anyone know the hotline for breadaholics anonymous?

Mister Shine Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Waited 20 minutes for the streetcar 2 blocks north of my house before finding out it was diverting 2 blocks west from there, walked over waited another 10, was on the thing for 20 minutes in super slow traffic so was watching Crash Course on my phone, heard over my phone that they were going to be stopping before where I wanted to go, it has been 20 minutes so i looked up to see where we were: 1 Block north of my house. ... perhaps another time my cookie-loves ---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ---------- Also looks like I may get pulled into work again this weekend :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Shine Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yeah, its summer and the full time version of me probably wants to spend his weekends out side having fun, so I shall do his job for money and stare wistfully at the outdoors. Through a monitor because there arent any windows in the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redd.Cohen Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 The art is so ridiculous. But the art is really crazy and I enjoyed working on it.

Mister Shine Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Unlikely, its actually quite likely I'll start working ONLY weekends in the fall :/ Maybe I can convince them to let me have a mic and webcam in the basement lol @Redd Sumo Viruses! so fat you can actually see them.
