This is actually surprising to me. Sure, the intro video to the game is absurdly offensive, but couldn't they have just slapped an M rating on the game or just tell mcmillen to remove it? I mean, besides that it's nothing more than a cartoony gory game.

TopicSo I can barely hear out of my right ear.
Epyo the Great

This happens to me every four months or so. I always used to go to the doctor until I realized I could just buy the washer he uses.

http://www.amazon.com/Elephant-Washer-Bottle-Doctor-Easy/dp/B005M2B5P0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328251100&sr=8-1

That's the exact one, and it's probably the smartest purchase I've ever made, I've saved at least $100 on co-pay already plus time going to the doctor. You just keep squirting room-temp water deep into your ear for about 5 minutes; you know you're doing it right if it's really loud and crackly, and when gross earwax starts coming out you know you're almost done. It's super easy compared to any other system I used to try to use (q-tips, simpler ear squirters...)

If you REALLY don't have the $25 for this, here's a strategy that used to work for me about 60% of the time. Get your index finger wet and stick it in your earhole rather high up and push it as hard as you can while moving it downward, then pulling out. You're trying to get a suction/sucking action, and a wet finger helps. If you get the motion right, you'll feel a pull deep in your ear, and soon wax will start coming out from deep inside. If you do it for about a half hour it might work, but it won't last long. You can also try using your thumb and moving from back to front. Whatever you do, the motion is a circle that goes inward and outward of the earhole.

Finally the last strategy that's worked a couple of times is to put your index finger *under* your ear, right behind your earlobe, and move it around, pushing and jiggling upward. It's not going to pull anything out of any tight spots, but it might move some wax around so that you can hear again for a while.

Canvas Curse is the only game I've ever 99.66667% completed. >_< God damn drawing game was the worst part of that game, could NOT get the medal from ranking level 3 on that thing. Hell, I'm pretty sure I only survived the whole level 3 once. Still one of my favorite games of all time though, it gets a criminally small amount of recognition for how amazingly fun it is. KEY is a close second in terms of "spin-offs" though. And KSS is definitely my favorite among the traditional titles I've played, though I'd take KCC any day.


oh man, I don't remember what you're talking about, but all I remember is that there's something in the game that caused me more frustration than any other game ever, so it was probably that

Topicso... Settlers of Catan
Epyo the Great
01/11/12 8:53:00 PM

Race for the Galaxy is my other favorite game along with catan. It's a card game where you play cards for victory points and some cards synchronize in cool ways. What's holding it back is that it is missing a lot of player interaction that Catan does have through trading and building roads. There's an expansion coming in a couple of months that adds a board and may fix it and it might become my favorite. Lost Cities is an extremely clever 2 player card game made by a math PhD. Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne are really fun but not worthy of hundreds of plays like all of the above games are. I have some other games like Puerto Rico that I don't like but I'm not sure why so I'll save judgment.

You have to be pretty careful getting board games though because I think there are two types of people who enjoy board games. One type is like me, and I like games where everyone can express themselves through their strategy, and I'm willing to let unpredictability into the game to help make divergence an advantage. There are games out there like power grid that (IMO) have no strategy and depend only on how well you can do mental math, and I think people mistake this for deep gameplay. I hate Chess for a similar reason in that it's based on how well you can think about how the board will look a few turns ahead, which might as well be a different kind of mental math. It's only a matter of time before these games are 100% solved by computers just like connect 4 and checkers, as there's no difference besides complexity. I expect Power Grid and Chess do have some subjective styles of play from different players but I'm pretty sure it's only visible at the highest levels of play, and at low levels the best you can hope to do is to either recognize a good move or not recognize it. I don't really want to fight anyone who likes Power Grid or Chess because I haven't played them much. Some games like Scrabble have the same boring flaw where whoever has played the most has an unstoppable advantage, but are still good games because of other traits (learning vocabulary is fun, the game is party-friendly, and the game is strictly linked to the real world. Trivial pursuit is another example of a game that isn't beautiful but is still fun).

What I'm trying to say is to be careful when looking for board game recommendations on the internet. Some people just love being competitive and they'll play anything they can use to battle and match egos with each other even if the games aren't inherently interesting. Nothing wrong with it, just can be disappointing to get a game that isn't made for you. I think Catan is inherently beautiful and I would gladly play it and lose terribly a thousand times and never get bored. If you're like me then stay away from games that don't have any cards or dice.

I'm pretty much talking about boardgamegeek's board game popularity rankings and how I've bought some games I've been disappointed in.

I bought Catan during a summer break about 3 years ago. On the first day we played it 3 times in a row. I couldn't believe how fun it was. I've now played at least 500 games of catan if not more, plus a few online rounds (although I find the online versions about a tenth as fun). This last winter break my friend, sister, and girlfriend and I (that's 4 different people btw) played a round every single night (even on Christmas!). It can't be stopped!

Since Catan I've bought a bunch of other games and it's not the only awesome one. I've got my eyes on dominion and agricola next <_<
