I've had the same phone for over three years now. It's so nice to finally get something new. :)

I knew that my family would be the only ones that would call so I convinced her that it was unnecessary as I'm always at home or at school anyways and I won't take calls while I'm at school. FML :'(

Because Blackberry's are the most functional communication device out there. They are like the internet, once you get one, you'll wonder how you lived so long without one.

I don't think you know how modifiers work. If I told you most law students eat red apples, you would probably tell me that there are green apples, too. Wonderful. When I said "expensive blackberries," I meant models like the Bold, which go for over $500 without a plan in Canada.

Post by: Fragamemnon on August 14, 2009, 05:59:45 PM: Picked up some more boardgames on the last day of GMT's sale:

1914: Twilight in the East
Devil's Horsemen
Combat Commander: Pacific
SPQR: Deluxe Edition
Gustav Adolf: With God & Victorious Arms
Combat Commander: Mediterranean

Super huge discounts. Even if I wind up flipping these on eBay after I play them I'll make money off them.

The maps in 1914: TitE take like a 9-10' x 6-7' space or so total. :lol I had a chance to play it at a friend's house earlier and was floored by its pure monster game awesomeness.

(http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc315/fragamemnon/pic363110_md.jpg)

Instructions that read like post-sarbanes-oxley accounting methods. :rock
Huge numbers of dice rolls with charts and then modifiers for current dice rolls and instructions for more dice rolls just to resolve one combat. :rock
Big huge bloody WWI battles. :rock
Wargames that absolutely beat the piss out of the current crop of computer wargames. :rock
Other people who play them are all old and retired so it's easy to get a game going. :rock

I totally forgot to mention this, Lyte. We were eating at the Kua Aina (burger place) in Haleiwa up on the North Shore and there was this Japanese family sitting next to us. The grandma was fanning herself with a promotional fan for Detroit Metal City from Tower Records. I couldn't help but chuckle a little bit.
