Tuesday -- Games evening at Alex's. Including (i) A BOARD GAME WITH A REAL LASER which was cool and (ii) a prolonged game of magic in which everyone managed to be too mana-short to do anything except when they managed to pull off a ten plus card combo and everyone sat back and said "woo, shiny" :)

Thursday -- A brief Carlton. Also including the "Bring actual food to work when you know you won't bother going home after" innovation.

Saturday -- ROBORALLY at Relativity, which was fun, and took four hours. I would say "but" but it *always* takes long, it's just sometimes you admit it beforehand and sometimes you don't.

Sunday -- I have now watched the complete Buffy, from beginning to end, in order, with the exception of the second episode in season about 3, where the DVD menu swapped the second and third episode menu items from top-right and bottom-left from respectively to not. The last season is somewhat heavier than it can just handle, being an almost entirely unreleaved apocalpse throughout, but I think has the greatest funniest one-liners.

Monday -- Pizza and post-pizza were greatly boisterous, it was fun. Simon overengineered a Tron clone. Shortcipher looks at houses. Numberland turned up (*hugs*). Clare was huggy (*hugs*). RJK will write a "crash" button for dukebox. Naath has a JOB (YAY!) Tom reminded me of the existance of a non-U C science fiction society. Owen wins teh workfaff. Ian played with his train.

This thursday -- yearly review

Ian played with his train

Somehow that seems dodgy...

Oh! Which episodes were switched on Buffy? I watched them in the order on the DVD (AFAICR) and I don't recall spotting anything out of order.

Oh, sorry, apparently my explanation wasn't as good as I thought :) I mean, in that series, that's the way the menu was organised, I just didn't realise it.

If your RoboRally games are taking 4 hours then you aren't being brutal enough with the timer...

No, we weren't. The trouble is most of us really didn't like timers, so we barely used it (and the house rule being the second-last player turns the timer on the last). I know that's not necessarily for the best.

You should write a dukebox. Or maybe an earlbox.
