Fosters?


Wash your mouth out " (and mine), no aussie dish water for me. "These days" also includes no favourites any more, and did I mention the word 'few'.

This article really fits better back in the sleep thread a while back but I would like to submit it is proof that the Buzz on games you get from Cons is useless.

“There certainly is a culture of, well I only had five hours of sleep last night how fantastic am I?” he said. “In fact, we should be looking down on those sort of things - in the same way that we frown upon smoking I think we should start to frown upon not taking our sleep seriously.”


There is certainly no sleep at Cons and the mentality is that you need to play as many games as possible. But I say its better to enjoy just a few games while rested than dozens played half ass with no sleep.

The neuroscientist raised concern that sleep deprivation could cause risks not just in jobs such as healthcare and transport, where dangers were obvious, but also could damage the quality of crucial decisions.


The crucial decisions coming out of the Cons or the Con Buzz so to speak is coming from sleep deprived people, so the games they say are great are likely not to be so great because they are basing their decisions after having no sleep.

“Lack of sleep damages a whole host of skills - empathy, processing information, ability to handle people, but right at the top of the chain you get overly impulsive, impaired thinking, because of this problem.”


Overly Impulsive is real key above...I'm at the Con, FUCK IT, I'll buy it! Its New!!!

So as you can see by the above, any CON Buzz is totally useless.
