Games played in February. Being sick for a week really put a hamper on my game playing this month … except Ark Nova on BGA, that I still managed to do. @bgstatsapp.bsky.social #boardgames

A lot of talk about the casting of Murderbot. My first introduction to the character was audiobook so Skarsgard totally works for me. Plus when Murderbot throws itself at the SecUnit in System Collapse I actually pictured Skarsgard from that Tarzan flick when he was fighting.

Very, VERY excited to get the first images of Murderbot and a release date. #murderbot

For just a half a second I forgot what Galactus looked like and for some reason all I could see was a robot with a giant head, arms raised, trying to get the Statue of Liberty’s attention. “Hey! Over here!” #fantasticfour

Games played in January! I bet it’s really hard to tell which game is still my favorite game of all time. #boardgames

I own a 21+ social club for board gamers. You have no idea how many people don’t get it. I just try to focus on our members who get a chance to hang out with other adults, drink a beer, disappear in a fun, engaging form of entertainment for a couple hours. There’s a lot of us adults who need this.

Oh my gosh! I forgot about that game. I used to play it all the time.

Yeah and two of us didn’t have anything to do for the last half. If you get voted out you no longer have any agency. We can joke about it now, but that was the most angry I’d ever been at another player. 4 is best because even if you don’t win, you’ll have something to do the whole game.

I did NOT enjoy it at 6. For us the sweet spot was 4-5.

My graphic novel library. This year I’d like to add a bit more lighting on the shelves and put posters above the bookcases. Also more books. I always need more books. #graphicnovels

Got the newest Nightwing HC by @tomtaylormade.bsky.social … but why … WHY?!?! did they change the damn DC logo for this last one?!?! I guess Nightwing was jealous of the Vertigo size change next door. #ocd #graphicnovels

Gamagora @gamagoracorvallis.bsky.social · Jan 1

Googled it. Even more confused.

I see those words and understand them individually. But what in the world do they mean collectively?!?!

Also Times Up is my favorite party game!

Can we toss the entire Star Wars franchise and let whoever edited this trailer be in complete control of it all? I still want to see THIS movie. #starwars #movies

Also, I love this “Michael gave up studying English at Harvard University, having become disillusioned with the teaching standards--the final straw came when he submitted an essay by George Orwell that was given a B-.”

Rewatched Twister because the kid has never seen it (parent failure on my part) it still holds up. But the cast is phenomenal: Hellen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Carey Elwes, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Ruck and it’s written by freaking Michael Crichton. No wonder the writing was so much better in this one

Twisters was a prequel to Twister set in a future alternate dimension. Terrible dialogue, bad acting. And I loved It. Bill … er … I mean Tyler is a great character and the rag tag crew was the reason I fell in love Twister. If you can get through the beginning it’s worth the time.

Everyone is posting their year end BG Stats and I am once again reminded that I have ADHD and even though it was my New Years Resolution last year to log all my plays on @bgstatsapp.bsky.social I only made it to February 29th. But in just 2 months I played Ark Nova 34 times… #boardgames #adhd

And yes, I totally said I get them for David and then put them in *MY* library. The library may have started out as his, but as I added to it, it became ours and now I just claim it as my own. #relationshipgoals

Gamagora @gamagoracorvallis.bsky.social · Dec 23

Oooooo this is my favorite time of year for graphic novels. It’s when I add the best graphic novels I missed throughout the year to my collection by getting them for David for Christmas!!! Omar from @nearmintcon.bsky.social helps every year to make sure I don’t miss anything! #graphicnovels #bestof

Nightwing has been my favorite superhero since the ‘90s. I had every single appearance in floppies thru 2007 when I had a kid. But it was @tomtaylormade.bsky.social absolutely amazing Nightwing storyline that pulled me back into DC and it is my no. 1 rec for new readers. #comics #dc #nightwing

Tom Taylor @tomtaylormade.bsky.social · Dec 23

Hey! Thanks to CBR for the 'Best Superhero Series' nom!
I miss team Nightwing already. Couldn't be prouder of the Fallen Grayson storyline with @brunoredondo.bsky.social
And volume 6 of our series is out this week! @stephenbyrne86.bsky.social
