Stuff like the Apollo 13 movie is closer to the actual mission than it is to today.
Elvis is to Nirvana as Nirvana is to a current band

I liked Rove back in the day, watched it back recently, did not hold up .
Was really lame.
No where near as disappointing as rewatching childhood favourites Knight rider and A Team as an adult. Those shows were so bad.

I was a huge Scrubs fan back in the day. Safe to say casual racism and misogyny wouldn't fly today.

 

[Memphis]

All 155cm of Memphis at CHB

Taller than you campaigner stfu haha.

Better than Bill Cosby cracking gags about drugging girls to shag them that ended up being autobiographical.
I can't remember which comedian (probably Eddie Murphy or Richard Prior), but someone who Cosby was critical of language and alike as a great bit on Bill being all high and mighty about someone cursing meanwhile he is raping people.

When I think of things that make me feel old, it's gotta be the fact that this years draftees are almost all younger than me

 

[Brick Loosener]

Gold City Royals logo is pretty bad. Never noticed before.

I remember as people I played with and against started to play NRL I felt old.
I ran elite pathway programs for years, some starting as early as 12, as some of younger ones came in to grade I felt old.
Those kids I coached than started retiring (recently) I felt old.
But the one that hit me hardest, I remember celebrating one of my team mates kids being born, he has now played 100 NRL games.

Life happens fast.

nothing as a delicious take away option.

Cheesy and low rate as a logo choice though.

So we're clearly not needed for us to win this week Smartys Power. What game do you want to play instead? I reckon we could crack out Catan, or have a few rounds of Skulls and Roses.

I would highly recommend sequence. Especially if you do not want to make friends.

What are those games?

I literally have no clue.

Drinking games?

I got you friend. What is catan?

Skulls and Roses is a bit more niche, but is a fun bluffing game.

lol, very good.

I was asking for a more first hand experience, and more importantly you know, trying to have a conversation about something you are interested in, its what good people do.

It is it kind of like Risk?

Somewhat actually in so far as attempting to secure prime bits of the board. Outside of that, far more complex. More stategic it is game plan.

Highly recommend

Not particularly, though it likely shares a few concepts. Catan is a lot more of a resource management game and very social. So it's about what land you take (seeing there is no combat, so it's yours forever) and are you able to trade your way out of whatever problems you run into (either to other players or the bank).

Golumless probably time to update your signature, huh?
