Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)

Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.

× WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!

This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.

Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;

Two games enter! One game leaves!

Trashdome - Arkham Horror VS Battlestar Galactica

There is no good reason to choose Arkham Horror over just playing Call of Cthulhu.

Vote: BSG

Arkham Horror
Nothing clever to write - it's damned late. But somehow there's 6 other people viewing this at close to 3 in the morning. Don't you people have jobs?

Damn time-zones - making me question my own ethnocentricity!

Vote: BSG

I like AH a lot, but it has a bit too much administrative overhead for its own good. Plus, the AH vs Talisman Trashdome was total BS and Arkham Horror needs to go down.

Tough choice. Both of these games I previously owned. They both annoyed me to no end, and yet I also had very awesome experiences and memories of these games.

I would buy them back again in the future, once I have more money.

I can't decide which one to vote for, I like and hate them both equally.

I will vote for BSG, just so Arkham Horror loses.

You're a strange, strange man. Is there any game you like unconditionally?

Yep, War of the Ring definitely. The perfect game for me. All other games I have some minor or major complaint with, but this one is just so perfect. The only issue is nobody else wants to play it with me.

AH

Even though I prefer backstabbing to cooperative play, I really like the "We're all going to die!" feeling of Arkham.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, dying time is here. Even discounting the clear "AH needs to lose" votes it still would lose. That's right, Arkham Horror is like the seemingly undefeatable Master Blaster who just went up against this raggedy looking dude with named Battlestar Galactica and got beaten to death with a fucking giant hammer.

Well, that settles it. I'm trading my copy of Little Generic Brown Farmer Cubes for BSG. It's not every day you see AH have it's panties pulled down and given a ruddy-red daddy-spanking.

Hat's off! Pants down!

Hey, I voted for BSG, not AH as was indicated in the final tally . So the beatdown is even greater.
