Sometimes it's easy to forget that Tom and Joe are still on the right side of 30. (And Steadman's already got a 3rd? 4th? kid newly delivered by the stork. Congratulations to Joe and Monica! A new wargamer to swell the ranks.)Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374893549602893334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735868.post-1139938559651720722006-02-15T01:35:00.000+08:002006-02-15T01:35:00.000+08:00"I apologize if it came off overly negative...Tom"..."I apologize if it came off overly negative...<BR/><BR/>Tom"<BR/><BR/>Your secret is safe with us.ektedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200891099572736360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735868.post-1139927201395155442006-02-14T22:26:00.000+08:002006-02-14T22:26:00.000+08:00I got a good laugh off of that GeekList too.

He's always struck me as a person I probably wouldn't enjoy playing games with. Haven't met him, though.<BR/><BR/>Ah, and according to this guy, Mare Nostrum unbalance is simply lack of skills. Also, he describes Age of Mythology bits as "really great".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735868.post-1139891219955251602006-02-14T12:26:00.000+08:002006-02-14T12:26:00.000+08:00Nah, you're not a curmudgeon; you're persnickety. ...Nah, you're not a curmudgeon; you're persnickety.

Although I don't agree with many of his feelings on games, I love his perspective.<BR/><BR/>But I don't get that "random" Knizia rip. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, so I didn't jump in guns blazing. But I think many people don't understand WHY they don't like certain games, so they find something. These are the same people whose reviews and comments are worthless.ektedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200891099572736360noreply@blogger.com
