OMG - A New Post - RINCON BABY

So I spent two days at RINCON and met geek legend Wil Weaton, former ensign Crusher, and now totally recovered. I also played a few new games, some good and some bad. We played an awesome game called Junta on Friday night. We are the seedy leaders of a banana republique. Here are some cellphone pictures from the game:


Matt as the Admiral of the Navy


New Buddy Pi (his nickname) as the Geralissimo of the first Army


New Buddy Erik as the Generalissimo of the second Army


Game runner Bill as the Commander of the Air Force




Me as the Minister of the Secret Police (We're your friends!)
Just FYI - The hats don't normally come with the game, but I can't imagine playing without them!


Unfortunately the picture of JJ as El Presidente didn't turn out. A seemingly meek young guy we used him as a puppet president - until he won the game the end by squirreling away a ton of the foreign aid money in his swiss bank account.
To prove that Wil Weaton was there here is another picture:




He is beardedly watching a nifty new game we later played called Castle Panic, a fun little game that i can highly recommend even for not-so-serious gamers.

Then Matt and I stayed late Saturday night to play rockband with Wil. Matt didn't get an opportunity to play, but I played an amazing song I'd never heard of called 're:your brains'. Heres the link, be preparted to laugh - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOlznuyPOeM


And heres a picture (cellphone pix don't handle the dark too well).

  1. RE: Your Brains is by the same guy who does Skullcrusher Mountain and Still Alive. Of course it's awesome.
