Peer Pressure Works!

Time for a rant! I realize that I’ve generally been pretty effusive with my praise and positivity when discussing board games. Outside of a few games I mentioned during the blog challenge that were disappointing, things haven’t been bad at all. And that’s probably a little weird coming from me. Thanks to Battles of Westeros, I can now amend that with some anger and annoyance. Thanks, Fantasy Flight! Battles of Westeros is part of the [...]

Well, my fantasy football team is 3-5 and pretty much done (as usual, the team I chose to chronicle is the one whose season went down the shitter). Work continues to be a Hellish nightmare, as everyone panics and tries to change the way things are done without any sort of plan being put in place beforehand. Because massive sweeping change should always be enacted haphazardly and on the fly. What the Hell to blog [...]

The run up to the 2012 Presidential Election is well under way in the States, and Republican hopeful Herman Cain just released a new ad that’s…well, it’s interesting.   He’s right, it truly IS the start of a campaign like nobody has ever seen. And I have questions. SO MANY QUESTIONS. Why did they seemingly let the gay doorman to their building choose their campaign theme? I’ll grant you it’s a bold move, but it [...]

Last week resulted in a much needed win, with a solid 194.99 – 165.28 win. Instrumental in that win was Fred Jackson…who is on a bye week this week. What to do?! Buffalo kicker Rian Lindell and the Cincinnati defense (that’s a long, but great, band name) are both also on a bye. So out goes Lindell and tight end Jermaine Greshem (also on a bye), and in come the Jacksonville D (the best of [...]

Thanks to Shaun for pointing this one out. What’s this one? The ultimate (and possible only) full FPS simulator, cooked up by The Gadget Show. And by FPS, I mean First Person Shooter. And if you don’t know that or what that is…uhhh…you may be at the wrong site. I believe the blog you were looking for is over there some place. Maybe try Googling ‘boring ass stuff’. Actually, don’t. I do not recommend EVER [...]

Oof. To say last week was abysmal would be an understatement. To call a 212.98 – 104.5 loss a beat down of epic proportions would be an understatement. He had more guys on his roster score more than 20 than I had guys score more than 9. I had 2 guys finish in the negative range. And those 2 big zeros at the bottom of the roster didn’t help, either. Absolutely fucking horrible. Enough of [...]

Week 4 was a positive, as the Horde pulled off a 193.78 – 170.08 win to even our record at 2-2. This week sees us face the 1-3 Drunken Armadillos, the only team beneath me in the standings. It also sees me face my own enormous cluster fuck of a mistake in roster building…but more on that later. This is also the first week of NFL byes, which means a bunch of teams are off [...]

Thanks to Chad for pointing out a video that showed a clip of this. Because this…this is almost indescribably awesome. Almost. This is 3 Dev Adam. It’s one of those ridiculously weird Turkish movies. It features a bizarre version of Spiderman…as the VILLAIN. Yes, the villain. Apparently, Spidey’s radioactive spider bite turned him pure goddamn evil. Bad to the point of attacking a woman buried in the sand with a boat motor (yes, really). Bad [...]

That’s either the name of a hipster Country & Western duo, or the title of some sort of animated series on Nickelodeon. Or it’s the title of this blog post! A tiny window in to what may be the slightest bit of promise : I actually received some emails this week from SAP tech support. I’d already solved all of the issues myself, but I noticed that the people sending each of them (and it [...]

Week 3 did not end well. The Horde fought well (generally), but still came up short in a 145.4 – 132.64 defeat to the (weirdly) 0-2 Pack o’ Pain. So here we sit. 1-2 record. 7th place in an 8 team league. I need this team to start winning. Now. I yet again tried swinging a deal with Moster the mystery. If he wasn’t desperate for receiver help before (he was), he should be now [...]
