Folks, I gotta tell you…the stuff Tom and Brady are doing for F:AT is just fucking amazing. I mean, it is literally the best boardgame writing I’ve ever read and it really has set the bar unrealistically high for the rest of us. Who can forget that amazing roundtable discussion Tom had with Reiner Knizia, Rudiger Dorn, and Wolfgang Kramer where Knizia broke down in tears over the admission that he really does just pull themes out of his ass and Dorn wound up punching Kramer in the stomach after the latter called the former a “god damned copycat”. Brady’s behind-the-scenes expose on how German games are being used to distribute subliminal neofascist messages of compliance and conformity was truly shocking and I really can’t believe that child labor is still being used to hand-paint those boards. It’s really too bad that most of you can’t read these articles because you haven’t accrued enough F:ATbucks to gain access to the members-only EXCLUSIVE areas of the site. Remember this next time we have a supporter drive.
I don't know how to check the anniversary thing here, but I vaguely remember posting at the old F:AT blog in 2006. I think. Around that time, I tried to explain the superiority of AmeriTrash games over EuroGames to my girlfriend, and she was rolling her eyes at me.
EDIT: nope, it was 2007. Found the old blogspot here:
My first post on a thread at the old blog was in March 2007
, those definitely were the days as the ability to talk about games freely appeared in front of me - and it was on a Barnes review of a classic Knizia game and still one of my favourites, hell I may even get a play of it this weekend for the first time in half a dozen years.
