I've been hearing that steam sales will start either on the 4th of July or 11th of July, but that's what people tell me, I'll believe it when I see it.

I'll celebrate the same way I do every year: drinking hard cider, speaking out against the government, and calling the fire department on behalf of my Darwin Award winning neighbors.

Speaking out against. I was brought up with the belief that the truest patriot is the one that follows the country, not the government, and that the government should be lauded for its successes, but equally called out for its failings.

As for the fire department calls, they're not federal, so they don't count in this spirit.

Oh. I see. So "the government" is only the federal government. The rest are okay and don't deserve our ire and scrutiny. ;)

Have fun, dood!

edit: Also, I agree with you except on all levels.

I have to go and put up with my American girlfriend's dumb ass dad. "Hey, man, you should like go to the states, man". I will get barbequed steaks though. I'll do most anything for barbequed steak. And it will all be topped off with ridiculous sparklers, where everyone stands around with a sparkly stick like a bunch of cunts.

"Barbequed" is not an adjective associated with "steak" here. And sparklers? Seriously? What part of "America" does your "girlfriend" hail from, anyway? Someone's fibbing!

right its either BBQ chicken or grilled steak, if you like your steak cooked on the heat its grilled. if you want your food to cook slow and for a long time and have more smokey flavor its BBQ.

There is also BBQ pork (ribs), BBQ beef (brisket), but no such thing as BBQ steak. Steaks, as you informed our friend, are grilled. You get the points.

edit: I guess steaks can also be broiled or fried. But they cannot be "barbequed". For the record, neither can burgers be "barbequed".

you could BBQ a steak... but its not recommended seeing that you will ruin the flavor and the steak will turn from juicy to tough. yes I did leave out the ribs and brisket and others, seeing as he said steak I also assumed he meant Ribeye, Strip, Shortloin, or Sirloin. thanks for the points, but it comes with being a butcher for years.

I'm just messin' 'round, TP. I don't know a flank from a eye of round (or whatever). I do know a ribeye, though!

And I do know that it drives me nutty when folks say they're going to BBQ and they grill a bunch of frozen burger patties. lol.

But I'm sure I'd butcher (see what I did there?) my Irish cousin's dumbass girlfriend's menu for Christmas, or whatever, too. ;)

mmm I wanna grill some Irish Banger now. the best burgers are fresh made like some bacon cheddar, or some portabella gouda. what drives me crazy is when people want me to slice up some skirt or flank BEFORE they cook it to make fajitas. or anotherone that drives me nuts is when people want me to pick out the leanest baby back rib and trim the membrane underneath then they complain that their baby back ribs are always dry and tough. but I cant tell them out right their wrong.. need to treat every customer like a baby with diaper rash.

Not strange at all. The full name is The "United States of America". Since "The United States" is generic, and the only specific noun in the name is "America, the name can be shortened to simply "America".

Munchkin is just... not a very unique game. Steve jackson even says himself in a tabletop games interview that he pretty much copies other game creators mechanics and puts on a new coat of paint. With munchkin he hit a chord with a lot of people because of his theme. That is a lot of the reason it is as popular as it is today.

There is somewhere also an interview with Steve Jackson I cant find it right now where he says explicitly that munchkin is not a good game, but it sells, so he keeps making more.

Personally I found munchkin fun the first time I played it but it was a steep downhill as the theme and the humor wore off. It is a blatant copy of other games mechanics. It would be different if it refined those mechanics to be better, however it literally does nothing to them aside from tacking on his theme. There are plenty of other games out there that succeed in amplifying the mechanics that munchkin employs.

Thunderstone, Blood Bowl Team Manager, Rune Age, Gauntlet of Fools, Red Dragon Inn, Cutthroat Caverns, King of Tokyo to name a few.

Meh thing is we already own some munchkin games and very much enjoy them. Besides, most things nowadays are a copy of something else.

Comment has been collapsed.

that's true, but what anything that copies something should strive to do is improve upon the original in some aspect.

I'm not trying to dissuade you from liking Munchkin.

I was only expressing my sadness when someone mentions that game because it reminds me of how popular mediocrity can be.
