If anyone tells you that you were playing Munchkin wrong, just point to the man on the left. You can't argue with the man whose name is on the game.
When I told my husband about this ep, he had to watch it. We own 5 of the decks, and he was given MunchkinQuest for his birthday. Now we just need to find time and friends to play with.

In which we play Munchkin on Tabletop with Steve Jackson
If you've been reading my blog for a few years, you may remember when I played Munchkin with my kids in 2008: I'm going to speak in geek to people who have played Munchkin: Neither of the kids would help me, and I kept getting the Truly Obnoxious Curse, so I was having a hard time gaining level...
The king of cameos is at it again. LOL

Excelsior! Stan Lee Visits EUREKA
Last week we had a very special visitor over lunch: comics legend Stan Lee! He was accompanied by his Pow! Entertainment colleagues, Gill Champion and Max Anderson. As you might imagine, the Eureka staff is full of comics fans, and Stan graciously spent his time regaling us with stories, signing...
Green Grass and High Tides will always bring back horrible horrible PTSD for me. I'm the drummer of our group of friends, and I had never drummed before playing Rock Band. I so didn't have the leg muscles for endurance... so when I got to GG&HT, I failed. And I failed. And I failed. I finally got through the song by pausing it twice in the middle and shaking out my leg.
I finally learned to get through it, first on easy, then on medium, and I think even once on Hard. I no longer curse when it comes on. I reserve that for Metallica.

From the Vault: see this place where stories all ring true
This morning, while driving around town, Anne and I heard Green Grass and High Tides on the radio. It was part of a set of songs with "green" in the title, on account of it being St. Patrick's Day. It's a stretch, but any excuse to play a great song on the radio -- especially a song that's nearl...
My (ex) stepmother got me a Highlights subscription one year. I was 12. I scoffed at such a baby-ish subscription... then I went and did the puzzles anyway. By then, I preferred Games Magazine.

in which Highlights for Children is discussed at great length
Last night, on the way home from dinner, I asked Anne, "Do you remember Highlights for Children?" "Of course I do," she said, "I remember how I hated going to the doctor when I was a kid, until I started reading Highlights in the waiting room." "Turn right at this intersection," I said, "and Tra...

"as his kilt rises..."
I think this is one of those rare things that can be equally enjoyed* by those who have context, and those who don't. *for very disturbing values of 'enjoyed'
We had the 2600 back in the day, but not this game. EGM, I think, had a list of the worst games ever, and ET was at the top of the list. So, yeah, it's as bad as you remember.

the most beguiling, horrible, opposite-of-fun experience I'd ever had
Reader G.M. e-mailed this picture and said, "How the f**k I ever believed that THIS was E.T., I'll never know -- but I still played it for hours and hours." The picture unlocked a memory I haven't thought about in a long time, but wanted to share: Around 1982 or 1983, before City Walk at Un...
