Whoa I missed this. Anyway you have no fucking idea what you're talking about, Army of Two is a fantastic coop game.

Passage was good. The next game the guy made was not. BUY THIS BOARD GAME

Of course it should bug you. The entire website is reneging on it's basic purpose. At the very least every game includes a demo, however Tuesday rolls around and the website suddenly becomes "buythisthing.com" and there are already enough fucking sites like that.

I'm glad so many people are excited about card games, board games, figurine games, LARP games, sex games, whatever. Though stop trying to shoehorn fucking jarts into the gaming culture I grew up with. This isn't some big hippie tent full of stink and bong smoke, everyone isn't welcome. At the very least provide board games that have been converted into video games like kriegspiel or that one Nile game.

It's infuriating to see great mainstream games like The Club and Army of Two get critically panned because the independent press is too busy trying to make themselves even more insular and out of touch by reviewing fucking Pimp: The Backhanding and Battle Marbles Gundam Z rather than standing up for Godhand.

I thought they were the site that had the really slobby review about Passage(It was RPS I think?), but they're not, so I guess I hate them because of Braid maybe?

Pinback: Worst thing about Tuesdays?
Pinback: Tabletop Tuesdays!
IceCreamJonsey: Hmmm, what's Tabletop Tuesdays??
IceCreamJonsey: I'm ready to hate it, I just need more data!
Pinback: http://playthisthing.com/
IceCreamJonsey: AHHHHHH

(for people reading this in the future, each Tuesday the website playthisthing.com reviews a board, or "tabletop" game, and not a video game.)

IceCreamJonsey: Man, fuck them!
IceCreamJonsey: You need to register http://dontplaythisthing.com and only update it on Tuesdays.
IceCreamJonsey: Fucking board games, man!
Pinback: NOBODY plays that shit anymore!
Pinback: "FUCK board games, man!" - G. Kasparov
IceCreamJonsey: Hahaha

Pinback: HAAAaaaaaaAaaa
Pinback: That's the end of that.
Pinback: Untoppable!

IceCreamJonsey: Nooooo!
IceCreamJonsey: B-but!!
Pinback: "FUCKTHIS" - Scrabble
IceCreamJonsey: "I just simply bought a kitten." -- Mouse Trap

Pinback: "Landmark treaty signed!" - Risk
IceCreamJonsey: "HIV mutates; is now skin-transferable." -- Twister

(I'd like to go on record and say that actually, I love board games, I just don't like a site that is really good at making me go over and download a game and futz around with it trying to get me excited about something I'd need to go to a brick and mortar store and obtain. I don't know why that bugs me. It shouldn't bug me.)
