It’s been a day or two since the last post. Nothing much gaming wise has happened.
Well that’s not entirely true. Jonathan and I have had a chat about Fenland Gamers stuff last Saturday when we met up for a handing over of a boardgame. But I’ll probably cover the conversation in another post at the appropriate time.
The big take home from the above is what was boardgame I handed over to Jonathan?
At the start of the week on the BGT&C UK Facebook page we both belong to a copy of Via Nebula came up for sale. I knew Jonathan had been after a copy. So I grabbed it before anyone else could. Games go ridiculously quickly on this page. Especially if they are out of print (like Via Nebula is) and at a reasonable price. I couldn’t wait for Jonathan to see the post. It could have been sold.
I then contacted Jonathan to let him know what I’d done and to check if he wanted it! Yep I know a bit risky doing it this way round. Especially since I already own the game. But if on the remote chance Jonathan didn’t want it I could easily have sold it on. Luckily I’d called it correctly and Jonathan did indeed did want it.
So that was the game I was handing over last weekend.
This is a good example also of how you can tell just how much another person likes a game of yours after playing it.
Yes they may of had an enjoyable experience of the game. And indeed like it a lot and want to play it again.
But you know they “really” like it, when they add it to their wish list or buy it straight away.
I’ve been known to have done this myself once or twice in the past. Viticulture is definitely one example that comes to mind.
I am a creature of habit or more routine. Every now and then that routine changes.
With my new temporarily employed status and the early starts my morning routine has changed.
The time of morning I get up the last thing on my mind is making coffee! Shocking revelation I know. I barely manage a few mouthfuls of my current food addiction over night oats.
My morning caffeine fix was a cup of Kenco vending machine coffee once I got to work. The experience isn’t good.
So I bought the coffee equivalent of a teas-maid (as my friend Duncan calls it) a coffee filter machine that uses a travel mug instead of pot/jug and has a timer.
The night before I set everything up, grind the beans, put in the filter, top the water up, and set the timer for 4am (I said I’m up early!)
In the morning the only thing I have to do is add milk and go!
Oh what has the blog post title got to do with things? Nothing but I had to think of something to put!
