Is Super Tennis really a game, or just a 'box myth? I haven't had nearly enough drink to address big, existential questions like that. Can't we talk about something a bit more light hearted like the meaning of life or the origins of the universe? What is best in life? |

I really don't know where I got this reputation. I'm really more of a shy retiring fluffy bunny type, you absolute shower of bastards. I just assumed it was a joke reputation, that you were shy and retiring IRL and used here as a place to vent your fury? Like Columbine. Just me? I have never to my knowledge killed. What happens during the blackouts though I cannot say. |

I've just had 2 pole positions and 2 wins back to back in Grans Tiramisu. This must be how Senna felt. You know, before he got a full head piercing.

Mel's desk is in a right old state. A total lack of respect for the art of mushroom painting. I work in a lab, surrounded by neat freaks, ocd nutters and safety fascists all day. I like to make a right fucking mess when I get home. |

Melvazord - You grow Cubensis is that "lab"? We do occasional work with controlled drugs in the lab*, but no magic mushrooms that I'm aware of. *By work I mean I'm off my tits. And by lab I mean squat. |

The Guardian's banner add is currently suggesting I should reserve a place at Crisis for Christmas for £26.08. Looks like they think my life is going to spiral further soon. Probably because of the 100 bottles of wine. Oh well. Can anyone spare me £25.98? I would have thought your name was already with the doorman. |

On the plus side, at least I did well in the open competition at camera club last night. Twenty out of twenty for both my images. Let's see if this works... Caught in a DropletStreet FoodYou should take a picture of my big red mushroom.  Wait what did you think I meant? |

My millennial is so confused by world of work that I've no idea if he/she is lazy. If he/she spent as much time working, as playing with the I 'phone, then I'd be working for them in a few years! Ours wears gloves to do archiving because he gets paper cuts, rolls up his sleeves to cover his hands when leaving the office because he gets electric shocks and was worried he would get asphyxiated by evaporating frozen carbon dioxide(cardice) in a non sealed lab. That last one when he asked me about it, I said " are you sticking your head in the box of cardice?" He looked confused "no" "Aye youll be fine then pal, off you pop" Hes the least manly man Ive ever met, and I know some actors. |

Other: Work. I've been tasked with mentoring one of the trainees. This millennial is so useless that, instead of worving tomorrow, I've got to go into work and basically their job for them. My top mentoring tip will be "git gud, scrub". Are you me? My boss, who has two sons in their early 20s, said today that basically you have to treat millennial like pets. Our millennial is a lazy, lunchtime obsessed twat. Is always shocked when experiments have to be done over lunch. "But that's during lunch time?!" Yeah mate, its not fucking secondary school anymore, suck it up. God almighty, I want to strangle him with his own harband |

Thanks to a total cock up during an experiment, this has resulted in having insufficient resources to repeat said experiment tomorrow, leading to me asking for and getting tomorrow off. Hooray for incompetence. Just tomorrow? Not the week after? And the week after that? Forever? What I'm saying is you should be sacked. You fool. I won't lie, it was indeed I who fucked up. In my defense* I was given poor information and despite me questioning said information was told that the information was the correct information.** * I'm also a moron ** Said information was NOT the correct information. I've said information too many times now, for your information. |

The tombstone avatar for guests really fits in with the whole "ghosts of Christmas past" shtick Perhaps a break from the past is needed though. Perhaps we need the wave of the future...  |

2-6 people. I was thinking possibly King of Tokyo, something fun to try and get everybody on board and enjoying it. Tried Exploding Kittens last year which seemed too “weird” for most people. I’m aware I might need a new/different family. KoT is a good game. One I forgot to mention is Citadels, which is a great game thats made better by having more players. Up to 7 for that one. |

Anybody got any good suggestions for a good board game to kickstart the inevitable argument that will happen over Christmas? On a similar note, any suggestions for a good two player board game? The better half and I played 7 Wonders: Duel last year and quite enjoyed it. Twilight Struggle Hammer of the Scots |

Splendor is nice and simple (like your face etc): up to 4 players Ticket to Ride, bit more complex but very good indeed. up to 5 players. Colt express is a train hijacking game, its a lot of fun. Up to 6 players |

I have a load of LOTR models that I stripped and am thinking of painting. Army Painter seem a bit cartoony which is OK for zombicide but the Vallejo seem more natural if that makes sense. Im not the greatest painter but I do enjoy trying it. The Games Workshop ones? They are very nice, especially the early ones the Perry Brother's did. You should post a few pictures Wait until you see my mighty mushroom. |

Are Vallejo paints any good? Better or worse than army painter? I'd say about 80% of the paints I use are Vallejo. Army painter is ok, but it can be hit and miss as some of their colours seem to separate easily and need a lot of mixing to get them back to a usable state. The only thing I'd avoid with Vallejo are their reds, which are pretty awful, otherwise yes I'd recommend vallejo. Depending on what I'm painting I also use a lot of Revell Aqua Color acrylics, these are thick and need watered down, but they have the advantage that the greens are very good for historicals as they are duller and that they are readily available from places like Hobby Craft. What are you painting out of interest? |
