Looks like the old blog site started in March 2007.

We should do something special next year for the tenth anniversary, like launching Barnes into the sun.

Seconded.

And then a retrospective montage of all the bs drama threads over the years before they are retired to the hsdtfbs board. Shelly gets a lifetime achievement award. Ken returns for 122nd time for a musical number and the crowd loses their shit. Boothwah and Barney wow the crowd with a totally heterosexual medley of Village People hits, even though they both decided to dress up as the cowboy in assless chaps, during which the camera keeps cutting to a smiling Loter. Somehow weeks gets the mic at some point and he tries to start shit and repo , southernman, and Pete drag him off the stage before getting into a fight with each other. Later on weeks comes out dressed as someone else and disses the other half of the room. Egg, Gary, al and various others do a great job handing out all the technical awards before a final closeup Barnes hurtling into the sun. Closing credits will accompanied by Josh Look leading everyone in Ameritrash, F%#£ Yeah.

I was thinking that maybe for the 10th Black Barney could write a commemorative post that is actually relevant to board gaming.

I'm sure he must have arrived here by accident while looking for a film site and has just been blagging it since - has anyone actually seen him play a board game ?

...or Shellies avatar at the very least.

Southernman, I got a date on Thursday and I think I'm going to bring her, as the second stop, to a gaming pub for a rousing game of backgammon. I have no idea how to even set up the board...

I used to play board games quite a bit back in the day. I might play some this Sunday with friends but we usually just draft Magic, eat and play Shower Rescue.

Oh you should have seen him when he first got bit by the Puerto Rico bug. I think he even went to nationals or something. Ask him about the importance of the first corn seat or something and he can probably school you.

I remember his review of his first playthrough of Battlestar Galactica and it's capacity for wrecking friendships. It was pretty epic.

We just need to take his xbox controller away from him.

Yeah, I never saw those friends again after that BSG game. ... that game is a little too thematic I think.

Lol, Puerto Rico nationals. I got third and purposely ensured someone won over another because she tried to con us into giving her first corn seat over me. Never went back to that convention either.

Games would be amazing were not for the existence of gamers. Myself included.
