my ex used to play them, in fact spent ALL the money on them. And little bits would stick in your feet and he'd winge if you stood on one

So warhammer is as gay as it gets?
What is the point of the game?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 0:56, Reply)

it's a war game
you have an army each (which you select and paint) then they have a battle (which takes too damn long) which has a particular objective, ie destroy the other dude's tank, kill all the other army, etc.

Most of my male friends from home
have rediscovered Warhammer and 'Magic: The Gathering'. Whenever I go back I invariably end up sat in a room watching them play, bored out of my mind. Which is why I ended up reading Bizarre magazine at new years, and then got shouted at for being antisocial. *facepalm*

I don't mind games, as long as they're inclusive and 'geek points' aren't a factor.

I'd rather play scrabble, frankly.

I've not played scrabble is ages.
I'm going to bed shortly. How is the cake looking?

Slightly burnt :(
my stupid oven is stupid, sometimes it goes really slow and then other times it goes like a rocket and charcoalifies everything. This was one of those times :(

Is it gas or electric?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:14, Reply)

Electric, there's no gas at all in the flat
hence the storage heaters. It's a fairly old oven though.

Would your landlord change it if you complained?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:16, Reply)

Almost certainly not, no
it's perfectly useable, it just has it's foibles. Such as burning my cake one day but undercooking it another, using exactly the same temp/settings etc.

Bad times.
You know what you should do, is get yourself to a shop that bakes cake, buy one, put it in a tin and claim it's your own creation.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:20, Reply)

That;s cheating, I couldn't do that!
I'm sure it's edible, just a bit burnt. I shall sample it in the morning adn if it's horrible I shall very quickly make another.

i, for one, am not that fussy :)

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:24, Reply)

It's more the principle of the thing
I've been tooting my own trumpet about cake making and now I'm going to rock up with something blatantly overcooked!

Your cup cakes were lovely.

Is that a euphemism?

No.

We've recently played a lot of
"Last Night on Earth" which is a boardgame with different scenarios of a zombie apocalypse. One (or two) players control the zombies and the rest control the heroes and there's a specific objective.

It's damn good fun.

I quite liked magic
when I played, but then I met all the people who spend all their time building decks :(
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:07, Reply)

What is the magic?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:09, Reply)

magic the gathering
a collectable card game
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:09, Reply)

Pokemon for the over 13s?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:12, Reply)

magic came first
pokemon and yu gi oh are more recent. And I've seen 'grown' men playing them
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:13, Reply)

I haven't.
If they want to play cards, what is wrong with a proper card game?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:15, Reply)

not enough
rules

Crucnhy.
I hereby suggest you don't date anyone who engages in such activities. In the long run, you'll be happier.

That sounds really fucking shit.
Not just the fact you've got to paint your army, but the fact you've got to destroy a fake tank.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:00, Reply)

I think it's how obssessed the people who
play them get. Also, for some reason anyone playing them starts smelling within minutes. I have seen this phenomenon with otherwise ordinary individuals who've had showers. By the end of the first turn, they stink. Must be pheremones or something
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 19 Feb 2011, 1:09, Reply)

All the more reason why I don't like the idea of this 'game'
I've avoided such people for years, I'll make sure things stay that way.
