QOTD

If your talking none video games, I love me some Othello.

 

Are we talking video games? Because that would be Ocarina of Time. Favorite non-video game: D&D.

 

hmmmm

i guess its snakes and ladders for video games just o2mania.

 

Hmm video game would be tied between star craft and skyrim. None video game I've always been a big fan of monopoly and D&D

 

Sunday: When I was Googling for a neko Kido for Kiri, I found myself a stash of awesome wallpapers. (Black Rock Shooter, Mekakucity Actors, Angel Beats!, Monogatari. Had to promise myself not to click on any Hanekawa ones or I'd have been stuck for even longer. XD)

Monday: If we're talking board games, gotta be Monopoly, or Bullshit if you're counting card games. Video games... I can't remember... It's been a while since I properly gamed...

 

Favorite board game is definitely Monopoly. I'm an awesome scumbag monopoly player and have actually pissed off friends over this

Focus on one side of the board as much as possible. You don't really need the hotels as much on the high tier places, three houses will screw somebody up big in either case. Don't take cash over territory if possible, you need territory more then anything so if someone gets stuck on one of your places see if you can "buy" his territory for cheap.

Then proceed to win the game as you gobble up the vast majority of land you pilferred off your rivals for cheap.

Passing Go in the late game is useless as your territories should be netting you profits. Actually Go might be dangerous if somebody has Boardwalk. Better off sitting in jail for sure at that point. Speaking of Boardwalk, it's not really worth it (only two spots compared to three) but it's a potential OHKO so you better have that in control (either you control it or some poor house flunkie player has it).

Buy territory from other players. Especially buy territory you don't even need. Remember if you hold a potential monopoly territory somebody else needs then you control that guy's fate. Playing from behind makes you the middleman and potential kingmaker so put your negotiating cap on and bait that guy when he needs that card the most. Late game rewards is greater then paltry cash sums in the beginning.

Yeah I like this game

 

You, are a sadistic genius. Thank you. X3

 

Everyone needs to know this stuff for a fun game of monopoly. Far too often games get cut short because people aren't buying and selling their property. You can't win by rolling the dice and praying you get lucky. You need to buy everything possible and use property as your currency (like in the real world!)

Once when someone was really ahead (he had like one quarter of the board for himself) I deliberately sold a needed monopoly piece for cheap to his nearest rival just to screw with the first place guy and even the game out a bit. It was beautiful, all game long the both of them would land on each others territory and they constantly needed rebuy and resell houses. This of course gave everybody else a chance to gobble up the last of the properties. I think I lost that one but it felt so good to be the spoiler and actually contribute to the game.

 

Oh, I love that. XD

 

Monday: My favorite non-video game is probably Pathfinder (think D&D). As for video game that would be a toss up between Tales of Symphonia and Fallout 3

 

wednesday

what tv program did you watch recently?

i watched something about digging gold on nat geo 4 days ago. was boring coz its about them having problems in machinery.

 

Ummm... last night I watched a little bit of QI while eating dinner...

 

Game of Thrones for me.

 

Just finished re-watching Band of Brothers and Scrubs.

 

I don't watch much tv unless it's for sports. Strangely I haven't really felt motivated to watch Game of Thrones despite being a very early adapter to the series of books. Yeah I already know all the juicy bits guys .
