Wild_XIII Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Munchkin is a fantastic game. Only played it a couple of times though. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well it often ends up that we rotate Munchkin (using some weird expansions) and a copy of Cards Against Humanity that one of us picked up in the US . They just lead to so much fun, even if CAH does sometimes go a bit too far and weird... 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I do like a game of CAH, but I get really of when I play a perfect context sensitive line up that loses to someone that just plays one of the wild cards/most offensive thing possible. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I do like a game of CAH, but I get really ###### of when I play a perfect context sensitive line up that loses to someone that just plays one of the wild cards/most offensive thing possible. Reminds me of the group I play with. I usually try to be controversial / innuendo filled (like linking *rickroll* Cheney to political issues etc) One friend goes for the structured sentences that are well thought out while still harsh. On friend goes for pop culture and interesting combinations. The last is just dopey and picks anything that sounds as stupid as possible. Munchkin often ends up better that way as then it is all down to how you want to play (none of us really want to win, it is too fun). 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_XIII Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Very true. CAH can bring out some real gems though! I've got a whole weekend devoted to table top games this weekend. Cosmic Encounter, Eldritch Horror, Super Dungeon Explore and Zombiecide will be played! I'm looking forwards to it! Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Dang, I am still trying to round people up for Axe-pocalypse. Saying that we are more cards games based. Some also do MMOs and RPGs but they are definitely not for me. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I can recommend the Zombies series. They are awesome. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Twilight-Creations-Inc-2010TLC-Directors/dp/B000HX1NBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396355784&sr=8-1&keywords=zombie+board+game If you play with a SO though, be warned. If you play like me you'll probably be denied bedroom privileges ha ha. Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ah good old CAH, too bad i dont really have many people to play with my complete set. Bought myself a GShock aswell. Love it. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I did look at Zombies!!! and I might get it after I can get the Munchkin set well and truly used up. Plus that reminds me, will have to add in my little 'most stupid character combination you can get'. Often it ends with the words '...with a duck on their head' way too many times (you combine your items, race, class, gender, powers and anything else into one long name).

shmook Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Vodafone have done well for me. Sent in a water damaged phone, and when they got it they emailed me, around 1030 to acknowledge receipt. By 1500 ish the same day they agreed it was fooked and sent a new one out via SD, all under warranty. Happy days, I was expecting a fight Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Did it have a faulty seal or something? Normally they tell you to get stuffed with water damage. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yep, it's an xperia z1, so waterproof. Allegedly. Has been fine before, and I'm constantly checking the port covers are shut, but the charging cover had a faulty seal. My guess it failed through use, because I open it at least once a day for charging it up, but that ain't my problem! Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Another thing making me happy is price matching! Just ordered a new knife, and heinnie Haynes price matched another website when I contacted them to see if it was in stock, so saved a tenner! Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Just watched the finale of 'How I Met Your Mother' due to it being 'controversial'. 1. It was blindingly obvious from about the first few seasons. 2. It makes no sense as to why people are getting in a flap about it. 3. It wasn't actually that badly done for a finale and really did tie it all in. 4. It was still kinda obvious and no matter how hard they tried to mask it you knew it was all going to come to the same ending. 5. It still doesn't make me want to watch the other 200+ episodes as really it wasn't that amazing in the first place. Anyway, just thought I would share. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Who was the mother? I really can't be *swear word* watching the episode as I couldn't bear an episode after season 2. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Don't tell him, I have the entire thing on a box set and I've literally never watched a single episode, I bought it because I like most of the actors. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 It makes sod all difference who the mother is. That is all I will say given how the ending goes. Plus it is all over the internet given how some fans have been moaning about it. I thought the idea was perfectly acceptable. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 You mean I have to go to another website, that isn't arnies? Unheard of! Matt Berry was entertaining last night (The Ruby Lounge, Manchester). But the place had no crisps or nuts, I was disappointed with that. Matt Berry's entrance:- Link to post Share on other sites

I really can't be *swear word* watching the episode as I couldn't bear an episode after season 2. Don't tell him, I have the entire thing on a box set and I've literally never watched a single episode, I bought it because I like most of the actors. I've watched HIMYM from the beginning, and I really liked it. Having the final season take place over the one weekend was genius, really good filmography. As FK says, it doesn't matter, really, who the Mother is. She's the mother of Ted's kids, the roomate of that hot chick that was in the OC, and has/had a yellow umbrella. Beyond that, who she actually is, doesn't matter. I thought it was a good ending, there were a few hints in the episodes before hand, of the final 'twist'. But it was a good ending to a good show. It's not groundbreaking, not everybody will have liked it, but y'know what, stuff like that happens. It's a good sitcom. FK, if you've not watched the rest of the show, you're missing out, there's a lot of backstory with character developments that allows you to care for the characters more. Stunt: The acting is very very good, IMO. NPH playing the stereotypical 'Stud', Jason Segel and Alison Hanigan have real on-screen chemistry, and the rest of the cast are well casted too. The story is weak in some places, but it's a nice little trip to take if you need something to watch for 92 hours... Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I just watched my first episode of 24. Now hooked and on episode 5. Goodbye life, see you in a while. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 24 will do that. I watched a full season in one hit once... Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I was once off work seriously ill and I managed to get through series 2-4 of 24. I don't regret it. Just bought Metal Gear Solid 5, demo thingy, and am really looking forward to playing it. Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I have just taken delivery of a set of Angry Birds soft toys. They are small, spherical and fit just nicely into the barrel of a 40mm.This will be giggle a minute. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I just used the George Foreman grill in the staff room to cook a Tesco Finest caramelised onion and balsamic burger. In a nice fresh crusty roll. The warehouse lad sat in there had a Rustlers burger in front of him. The jealousy was priceless. Link to post Share on other sites
