The Rise and Fall of Boardgames--- A Pictorial History

John Wayne on the set of "Rio Bravo" playing chess




Derk Solko Self Proclaimed Boardgame God adorned with chicken hat

Go is far superior to Chess anyway...

Actually, I've never played Go and I probably never will because of statements like the above. I like Chess. I'm not a master or anything but I do like to play it. I don't care if Go or whatever is superior to it.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who's sick of this fucking "I'm a quirky middle-aged suburban white guy" thing in the hobby.

Two things:

1. I love Angie Dickinson.

I forgot what the second thing was

Oh yea

2. Is that picture from the Agricola LARP at GawkyCon?

I couldn't agree more I am sick of it!!! I have had it up to my chicken hat!!!

Anyone for nude St. Petersburg???

Spooky shit, Steve. Check out my front page article today, which I was working on while you posted this.

That chicken hat at least looks cooler.

I have my Wolverine hat but that only comes out during Michigan games and never really in public.

For gaming I have one of my several Navy hats. Those at least look normal...the USS Trigger being my favorite.

Agricola LARP...that's priceless......

I don't think that that is a fair description of The Duke.

Funny stuff!!!

Derk just revealed his shortcomings in a game of Nude St. Petersburg!!!

Who's playing black in that photo? I want to believe that it's Ricky Nelson.

I meant to say "yes, you are" Actually it is one thing I am rather tired of hearing about.

- Not Ken's zanyness. That is, well, err, zany and shit.
