JoelCFC25 and I are both in the Twin Cities. Delobius, too, when the government isn't sending him into warzones. I live 2 miles away from the FFG Event Center, and a few blocks away from The Source.

I like talking about movies and TV shows on this board game site because you get more real and varied opinions than you would on a movie or TV site (and less blowhards). It makes it feel like a real conversation with friends.

I have no idea what the colored balls under the avatars mean.

I'd lurked on the site almost from the very beginning, then forgot about it. I came back when BGG became blocked at work, and now I regret having been away so long. I much prefer the opinions and community here.

The only board game I really play anymore is TALISMAN.

I don't know much about comics, really.

I prefer playing board games against computer opponents than real people. I don't like beating real people very much, I sometimes even feel bad. Also, my computer opponents don't seem to complain about my analysis elbow/paralysis.

I know so little about things geek related (comics, films, tv shows, video games, books, you name it) that it seems like I have spent my life in a culture vaccuum. I have learned a lot from this site and have very slowly started to check out some stuff most of you would take for granted as old news.

I care quite a bit about a bunch of you and find myself wondering how you are doing and hoping things are well with you.

When I tell my spouse about any of you I sometimes feel like I am five years old talking about Snuffleupagus.

I die a bit inside when people write "that" when they should write "who" (for exampe: 'of the ten people that played the game, three liked it.'

I like BGG.

There, you can close the thread now.

But aren't you the same dude who revels in emptying a Russkie's skull onto a pavement during online COD: Black Ops?

Leaping to the conclusion I'm not?

1. My Call of Duty online opponents aren't friends of mine. I don't even know who they are.
2. They deserve it.

I've been thinking of ditching this site lately. Sad, but true.
