Risky Business

Risky Business
K-dog’s <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=418>party</a> was a lot of fun as usual. We played Risk early in the night. The other games that were played were Super Monkey Ball, Goldeneye, Pop’n Music, Karaoke Revolution, DDR and World Class Track Meet. I broke out a little Parappa the Rapper 2 and Rez later on. The next morning there was some GTA3 played then we went up to Club 180 to play K-dog’s arcade machines. New to the club was Kangaroo on free play. Saturday night we tried an interesting experiment. Brad, Will, Cassadi, Goz and I played a game of Risk. Except, Goz was in Kenton while the rest of us were in Columbus. We set up Will’s laptop and iSight so that Goz could see our game board. He also set up a game board at his place so he could see where all the armies were. The game took a little longer because we had to announce our moves to Goz so he could update his board but it really didn’t drag the game down as much as you would think. I wouldn’t want to throw another remote player into the mix because then I think it would be really hard to coordinate everything that’s going on. You could have a few people in two locations and I think that would work. Another idea we didn’t get to fully implement was using laptops to send secret messages to each other. I think Brad and Goz’s secret alliance gave Brad the upper hand. It would be more fair if everyone had a laptop. Check back tomorrow for a MAME cabinet update! Continue reading "Risky Business"

My Secret Identity

My Secret Identity
<a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=416>Today’s comic</a> is inspired by all the comics I’ve been reading lately. Well actually there was just two, and one kinda sucked. I’m trying hard to decide what direction to go with the comic so I’ll leave it up to you the viewer. Should I do one shot comics about video games, movies, whatever, or should I do longer superhero type storylines? Also, I did a physical inventory of the 1st ever special edition Bitsmack T-shirts and found that there are only 18 left, 9 large and 9 x-large. If you ever considered buying one you should do it now because once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. While I may do more Bitsmack shirts this design won’t be made again.

And in this corner…

And in this corner…
Not only do Brad and I <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=415>discuss which superheroes would win in fights,</a> we also saw a fight break out at BW3s last Tuesday night. It wasn’t that big of thing, there were no folding chairs or steel cages, but it did take several cooks to break it up. Continue reading "And in this corner…"

Another Hero, Another Origin

Another Hero, Another Origin
About two more and <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=414>I</a> could form my own Justice League. There’s not much going on besides me working on my MAME cabinet. I think The Rogg, Brad and I might be going to Wizard World this weekend. It’ll be worth it for me just to meet Eliza Dushku. Plus I want to do some shopping which I didn’t get to do last time. I used to collect comics but all the titles I used to read have ended. If I want to read them now I’d probably just get the collections instead of individual issues. I’m more interested in reading the stories now than collecting. By the way, there was a really good documentary on comic books on the History Channel about a week ago. I would check your local listings because I’m sure they’ll rerun it.

Season Finale

Season Finale
Well, <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=411>see you in the fall!</a> I thought the Friends finale was pretty good overall. I was glad they brought back the chick and the duck. The scenes with Joey and Chandler were my favorite because they reminded me of when they used to live together. I was sad that they had to destroy the foosball table though. The Ross and Rachel thing was dragged out way to long. Everyone knew they would end up together, it doesn’t matter how many times you make Rachel get on and off the plane. And then at the end they all leave the apartment and go out for coffee one last time. I thought that was a good way to end it. Continue reading "Season Finale"

Ask Bitsmack

Ask Bitsmack
Here’s a <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=408>comic.</a> So this week is pretty busy. Our company is holding a training class for resellers and users all week. Every night we take them out for dinner and drinks. Last night we went to a pub and I had to try Boddington’s just because it was mentioned in a Friends episode. Everyone else was drinking Guiness so I would have been made fun if I had Bud Light or something. I’m looking forward to this week being over so I can have my evenings free again. Seacrest out.
