Dustin Nguyen.... would that be the same guy from 21 Jump Street?

I'm finding the same with TOEE, but for some reason I'm tolerating its game play better than I did Ravenloft. The campaign doesn't provide much more of a story than the individual scenarios in the series other games, but traps and levelling are definite improvements. It's enjoyable enough for what it is. That dragon mini is AWESOME. Best boss mini yet I think.

Still really enjoying Fallen. Playing this one with your wife over a few glasses of wine makes for a pretty enjoyable evening. It's that perfect blend of story, game and skill ...with lots of room for table talk. I don't mind the disconnected stories, like Charlest I look at them as highlight reels of a larger dungeon explore along with the monsters sent in along the way to weaken and distract you. If I have any criticism, it's the end battles where I'm realizing a balanced hero may have an advantage over a specialized one since the nature of the tests is completely random.

I love Siouxsie up through Hyaena. After that it's all downhill. I'm really sad I didn't get to see them play with Robert but the Tinderbox show was fantastic. I saw them several years later and it was literally on my short list of most disappointing shows ever. Terrrible.

I wouldn't lose sleep about Forge War, it looks like a snore.

I saw Siouxsie and the Banshees twice, once was around 1992, but I was more concerned at that time with making out with my girlfriend. The other time was around 1995 or so, when they toured on that terrible last record they did. It was OK I guess. But Spiritualized opened, and they were awesome. I went to an HMV meet-and-greet before the show to get records signed, and of course Siouxsie never showed up.

But the WORST Siouxsie experience I had was seeing the Creatures on the Anima/Animus tour. That was a really good record, but at that point you could tell that neither Siouxsie nor Budgie wanted to be on stage. She looked kind of dumpy and miserable. He went through the motions. It was one of those shows that just feels completely boring, depressing and dreadful.

jeez... if Fury Road is 'on par' with Aliens, then I absolutely have to see this.

Barnes, I'm right there with you on Hearthstone. I don't touch anything else on my iPad anymore. I've been playing Hearthstone pretty regularly for like 8 months or something now and I don't tire of it. Sometimes ladder gets frustrating so I just play Arena and I'm getting better at it. The nice thing is I never have to spend any money on it anymore. I think I've dropped about $60 on the game over that period of time, buying 3 of the 15 card packs of Classic cards. Considering how much I play that's been a real bargain.

I have this awesome S&tB poster up in my office wall.

That's pretty cool. Way better than what I got which is a lousy photo.

I'm ashamed to say I am not familiar with the Creatures albums. I'm not sure how they slipped through the cracks but it gives me something to dig up in the future.
