Games - no electricity required!

Unread postby Kooka » Sun 09 Oct 2005, 07:41:51

I saw this game for the first time this past week and now am hooked! Unfortunately my first was diabolical....

Sudoku is the name, and thinking/logic is the game.

Anyone else ever play this?

I still have my AD&D books in the cloest.
Yes, I was a D&D player. If ever there was a game that will kill a day (or week) faster then you can blink its D&D.

I have been falsely quoted twice in the posts that follow.

It is very easy to create a quote they should cannot be taken literally in case of dispute.
Example$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Specop_007', 'S')Clark did not actually write what I have quoted him as writing in the next post. As regular visitors to the forum will know I am not to be trusted
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Kooka', 'I') am not such a regular troublemaker as Specop_007 nonetheless on this occasion I have misquoted SClark

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('SClark', 'T')he guy above me is good at one game, and enjoys it a lot Post PO and Pre PO. It does not require electricity.
Just some lubricant, he is good at masturbating!


Jesus, and you can hear him doing it?!

And?

I'm not sure what your post has to do with intellectual gaming, however if you are saying you DON'T masturbate, then for sure you are a youngin' that is still embarassed to admit to such a natural part of our human sexuality :lol:

Specop_007 and Kooka You have left me confused.
Just because I am new around here no need to pick on me. :-(

Anyway let us get back to the point instead of talking about sex.

I would say having a pack of cards would be a very good move. All sorts of possibilities and no Kooka I don't mean Strip Poker, maybe just poker.

I play a lot of board games and whatnot.

Here's my short list of games that I personally will always have around:

- Several Decks of Playing Cards

- Cribbage Board

- Chess/Checkers

- Go (no 2 games are ever totally alike)

- Backgammon

There are tons more, but these all have the mass appeal & staying power to stay popular no matter what.

Knife throwing is good clean non-electric, non-oil fun.

Have you ever actually tried knife throwing?
It aint as easy as Hollyweird makes it out to be. :oops:

I said fun not easy. There's something about the sound of a knife hitting the target, I don't even care if it hits where I aim as long as it sticks. Having a good knife helps. I made my own knife and it doesn't throw half bad, but it's pretty ugly.
