http://www.bunkerguts.com/blog The Glacial Pace of Idiocy Fri, 15 Jan 2010 03:52:30 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en The dizzle was set to start at 5, and I should have been turning things on, but was instead framing and hanging the pictures that Mrs. G had composed and printed as 18”x24” posters a year before. She had given me a rage-saturated earful about the fact that I hadn’t ... http://www.bunkerguts.com/blog/?p=159 I’d ripped apart the Bunker infrastructure, and put it back together slightly sloppily. I wasn’t really sure how it would go, so I had a sort of limited release party to work the kinks out. First to arrive was Timmah!, who came with a bag of grocery store cellophaned subs ... http://www.bunkerguts.com/blog/?p=158 Stub arrived first and waited for me to sync all my controllers to the new 360. Ingenious of me to forget that part. Within minutes Papergirl (who has been gallivanting in Redmond so long that I forgot her old nerd handle) arrived with her sister. Somehow I got those ... http://www.bunkerguts.com/blog/?p=157 My 360 Red-ringed last week, so I had to get a new one. (Guess who bought it 3 years and 1 day before?) I replaced it with an Arcade, to make sure I got a Jasper and HDMI. This meant using the old hard drive, and the transferring of content. ... http://www.bunkerguts.com/blog/?p=156 Due to the holiday season and other foibles, I was forced to have the latest BP on a Sunday. Although unnerving and possibly unholy, it happened with new hotness. 19 brave souls entered and 2 stayed behind. Excruciating detail to follow. http://www.bunkerguts.com/blog/?p=155 One of my resolutions... plog more... plog less. In other words, more often, and short. The way it should be. I've been here before, we'll see how it plays out. Yay 2009. http://www.bunkerguts.com/blog/?p=154 I love Days of Wonder games. In fact, I think I have opened several posts with exactly those words several times in the past. However, they haven't put anything new out in a while, and that has really bummed me out. I don't know if this is true, but I ... http://www.bunkerguts.com/blog/?p=153 As Pottse remarked, "This Bunker Party was weird". What he meant by this was, there was very little Rock Band, no SingStar at all, and although the LAN got play, the showcase this time was the Analog room. First up was a lot of San Juan. I had tried this out ... http://www.bunkerguts.com/blog/?p=152 As usual, I spent most of my time in the Analog room, but from my brief glimpses into the Lan room, here's what went on: Prey - I started things out with Prey Multiplayer running on each machine. I don't know if more than three people ever played simultaneously. If anyone ... http://www.bunkerguts.com/blog/?p=151 Boom Blox drew a constant crowd: As people trickled in around 3pm, the easiest thing to do was start with Boom Blox.
