Current events
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.

Dark Knight
I've just purchased tickets for myself and kim for SATURDAY, JULY 19th at 9 PM at the seattle IMAX. Anyone else who wants to come see THE superhero movie with us on THE big screen, feel free.
KIM: Count Mark and April in! I'll cover their tix.
JASON: I got tickets for the midnight opening at the Cinerama. I am also considering hitting the IMAX with you guys.
JULY 4th
--Dieter the Bold 13:02, 16 June 2008 (MST) Gentlemen, and lady: It's finally dawned on me that in 3 weeks it will be the 4th of July. On a Friday, no less. I think, given the date, we should be a little more proactive in determining our whereabouts. I already see Ed has declared himself busy. Is anyone else planning on crazy BBQs, late night fireworks, etc., etc.? If so, speak soon, because for those who plan on attending gaming, I'd like to put out the idea of doing a Patriot Themed One-shot or series of One-shots. Are we your average Joes caught up in a time-warp, leading us to fight in our countries greatest battles? Are the Brood invading and we must use our amazing super powers to defend Earth? Or have we accepted a race for charity with people making donations to the hero that can traverse the world the fastest (but some of our arch-nemesis have other plans?)? Regardless, as the 4th is a federally recognized holiday, and we therefore get the opportunity to take off work, I vote we have a gaming day + BBQ, and then leave the night open for more gaming or for fireworks or whatever. I look forward to your responses.
KIM: I too vote for festivities, and will bake cherry pies or other such traditional yums on request (and if you say please). BBQ is good, if heroes, count me as present, if one-shots are to be had instead, I might have a couple friends over for boardgames in the other half of the communal area. Also, isn't the other side of midnight Matt's bday?
--Matts 16:17, 16 June 2008 (MST)I'm not sure if I'm in town or not yet. I may be off having a cabin adventure. Regardless, sometime in proximity we'll party for my big day. It's only once a decade that the digits in your age add up to 10!
--Edmiao 16:40, 16 June 2008 (MST) damn, sound like fun. parents in town. so no me.
--Dieter the Bold 20:01, 19 June 2008 (MST) I hearby make the official motion to cancel gaming on July the 4th. I introduce a second motion that we hold a BBQ, movie, boardgaming day in its place. Movies to be of the classic patriotic kind. Patton, comes to mind.
JASON: If this materializes I would like to say I am 66% on attending, as well as bringing along a sidekick, some board games and possibly even some patriotic movies.
GABE: Dude, the Patriot! Nothing is better then spearing a British officer with the American flag! What is your sidekick's power or powers?
JASON: She has the power to speak Japanese and use Photoshop CS on the mac. Dont be a hater, thems some serious powers yo.
GABE: Man..., I can barely speak English and have the ability to burp after eatting even the most least gasiest of foods. My powers blow.
KIM: I'm a fan of the boardgame-bbq... may be inviting some vanilla friends to play teh scrabblez wit me, unless ya'll are down with the Kung-fu Munchkin.
JASON: Teh Scrabblez? D00d, wiik. At the very least we should play Cranium. Ill bring it. Thats a rad party game.
KIM: ooooooooooooooooooooh, CRANIUM. There's gotta be a way to make it a drinking game, no?
GABE: Man, Matt, The Authority is an awesome comic. Are these two books all there is?
--Matts 10:22, 23 June 2008 (MST)There's a ton of offshoots, like Jenny Sparks Secret History of the Authority, and I'm pretty sure there's tons of shit with Jack Hawksmoor and the Midnighter and the old Stormwatch gang, but I'm not sure how much of it is written by Warren Ellis, who did those first two books.
JASON: Let it hitherto be known that Rumi has purchased Rock Band for the wii, and if there is interest we will bring it on the 4th. What say you, gents? Also, we plan on making some shish kabobs as well.
--Gdaze 22:45, 24 June 2008 (MST) Nice, but I'm gonna bet that I will SUCK at that game, I'm terrible with beats. I know, white man bad with beats, whats this world coming to?
Hey Dieter, go check out Eve Online. They are having a 14 day free trail. Its actually pretty fun, I find it relaxing just flying around and mining shit. Or anyone else who is intersted, which I'm guessing ain't much!
BEN: A complication has arisen for the 4th. I have to have all the shit for my deck delivered on the 5th (assuming home despot works that day) so that the tile guys can start on the 7th. That means that I have to have the leveling compound down by the 5th, so I can cart all the crap up from the curb (where they will deliver something like 2.5 tons of stone plus another 1000 pounds of other shit) and put it on the deck. Since I'm gone this weekend, it is fairly likely that I will be doing a lot of said leveling on Friday the 4th. Obviously, this doesn't interfere with boardgaming etc, but it will put the kai bosh on grilling on the deck itself (depending on how much of it I need to do that day, I suppose). More as the situation develops.
JASON: I am willing to help you do some work on the 4th. I could use some physical labor. One thing is, if the deck will be unavailable, maybe we can use mine instead, if others dont object? Also, Gabe, Im terrible at Rock Band too. Even songs I can actually play on the real instruments somehow escape me so far...hehe
--Dieter the Bold 10:08, 25 June 2008 (MST) I'd vote moving it to Jason's. And the Wii actually has Rock Band? With all 4 instruments? I'll do anything but singing. It's hella fun.
JASON: It just came out like 3 days ago or something. We have only 3 instruments, but if the Guitar Hero guitars are compatible, it might be easy to have a 4th.
--Gdaze -- Thats pretty cool that the Guitar Hero guitars are compatible with Rock Band.
Dieter, you take a look at Eve Online yet? Take a gander and let me know what you think.
RUMI: Wiik. Apparently the Guitar Hero controllers are NOT compatible with Rock Band. :( Also, in regards to moving the festivities, we have a (semi) awesome view of the Space Needle! It's probably pretty cool for fireworks! :)
--Dieter the Bold 16:27, 25 June 2008 (MST) Very wiik. The Wii is awesome in some things, but an absolute travesty in others. And I'll check out EvE Online tonight, Gabe.
--Dieter the Bold 14:04, 26 June 2008 (MST) Opportunity for free beer and pizza in return for 1 to 2 hours of heavy lifting on Saturday, July 5th. A friend at work needs some furniture moved. She estimates no more than 2 hours and anytime before 5pm is fine. She'll be happy to then spring for pizza and a pitcher of beer afterwards.
