I can only eat Thai food like once a month before I'm sick of it: too sweet as an entree. Pizza on the other hand, I can eat 4 times a week before I get sick of it.

| − | Ben's Saturday Night Special: So, this saturday, I'm going to have a "slightly geeky" BBQ. We'll get together in the afternoon (say, 3-4) and bust out the board games. I'll get to grilling around 6, say: I'll try to get some costco steaks, and I'll let other people volunteer for salad, bread, other grill items, beer, etc. After dinner, hopefully my tv will be here, and we can watch some cool movie(s): band of brothers, gladiator, batman begins, LOTR, Matrix, Kung Fu Hustle, whatever. If the TV isn't here, we'll probably board game it up some more. After movie time, anyone that wants to stick around for some RPG action of an undetermined nature, can: this last part will be very "by ear".

Dieter's already volunteered to help put it up, and I think I could use one other strapping, sting lovin' man-hulk to help put it up Saturday around noon.

| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 12:55, 16 May 2007 (MST) For good movies on the TV, since plasma is so good with color, do we want to have a movie or two that have good color displays? I know ''Clone Wars'' and ''Revenge of the Sith'' sucked, but those did have some serious super-Technicolor CGI scenes. I could bring one or two of those just so we can watch some of the huge battle scenes for the amazing color/effects. I support the above list for cool movies and am happy to provide many of them (courtesy of my dad's collection).

I should have gone Plamsa but I hear LCD is better for gaming so I vent that way, oh well! Oh right I might actually be coming to this as it seems I have nothing to do.

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:BenofZongo|BenofZongo]] 17:57, 14 May 2007 (MST)Currently, the programme for saturday, I think, will be: mid afternoon: people come over and play board games of their choice, so that Ed's wife and Dieter's and Gabe's dad can attend (Any word from your dad, Dieter, about whether he can help out with the setup?. Late afternoon/early evening: Eat BBQ. Evening: Watch 1-2 movies on my new plasma tv. These can be any movies, as long as they have lots of action in them to inaugurate the big screen properly. Of course, this depends on the tv actually arriving at my house and being in good working order, so this whole part may get scrapped. The dune movie with Sting isn't one I'm terribly fond of, but if the miniseries is good (I haven't seen it) that works for me. Late evening: anybody that wants to stick around rather than go to sleep like a normal person can take part in some sort of one-shotty business. Right now it looks like I"ll be in charge of that just because nobody else wants to be (but if Jason wanted to be in charge, he could be). This last part is sort of a "whenever" kind of a thing, so it may start really late (ie, 11, midnight, whatever).

| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 00:20, 15 May 2007 (MST) the old Dune movie directed by David Lynch with Kyle Mclachlan and Sting was awesome. the extended version is also awesome, although a bit slow at points. that said, for a big screen debut, the special effects may be antiquated. the new Dune movies were ok, but not the greatest. I saw all three. The first of the new breed was so bad that i almost skipped the next installments. But the next installment turned out much better. I think the special effects were sci fi channel miniseries quality. which is decent, but no lord of the rings. speaking of which, i was going to netflix LOTR return of the king for that one scene ben wanted to see, unless Ben or someone makes a different request.

| − | --[[User:Jason|Jason]] 11:34, 15 May 2007 (MST)I hear what Ben is saying about the David Lynch Dune, but he is wrong, Lynch's Dune was fucking awesome. I like, came in my pants when I watched it the first time. Then I had wet dreams about Sting. That was so awesome. The Harkonnens were the best feature of the movie. So vile! I still have flashbacks of fat men floating. We can watch something else. How about Band of Brothers? I can bring that. Its loaded with action. But, in the absence of Dune on the screen, Gabe, Does your dad have the Dune board game from Avalon Hill? Thats a rad game and Ive been wanting to play it lately. I bought it on ebay but who knows if it will arrive on time.

This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.
So the new guy emailed me back and he'll be showing up this next friday. Presuming he likes us and we like him, I think he could turn into a regular.
So Im almost done reading Dune, and since you jokers are playing in a space game I thought you might be interested in the following activity. I have purchased the David Lynch version of Dune, and the Sci Fi Channel Dune and Children of Dune miniseries'. My plan is to have a megaDune marathon some weekend day. Skippy got a new super huge HD widescreen tv, and it would be perfect for this event. Anyone who wishes to attend is invited. If interested, let me know what day would work best.
