So Very Wrong About Games

Apparently there were scrapped plans for the Gorn (the lumbering rubber lizard suit dude Kirk fights in that famous episode) to show up in other Star Trek properties. One plan had a Gorn show up as Worf's guest to Riker's bachelor party in Nemesis, and frankly despite how awful those latter movies were I would have been all over that. I can only imagine that the plan was abandoned when the props department couldn't get a styrofoam cocktail to look right.01:42 AYURIS: The Wolves (Ashwain Kamath and Clarence Simpson, Pandasaurus Games, 2022)Games Played Last Week:03:49 -Tidal Blades 2: Rise of the Unfolders (Tim Eisner and Ben Eisner, Druid City Games, 2024)10:28 -Mass Effect: The Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz (Eric M.

Thrill to the latest superhero epic, "X-Men: Layover in Dulles." When the Blackbird is grounded due to an unexplained indicator light (meddling from the sinister Magneto? Who can say?!?!), the elite group of heroic mutants must navigate the perils of terminal D. Wolverine is having problems with the metal detectors again, which is troublesome as he is smuggling Cuban cigars. Rogue must battle the temptation of the 15-minute massage station. Panera bread keeps getting Cyclops' order wrong. It's epic, it's exciting, it's eight hours long!01:42 AYURIS: The Great Wall (Kamil 'Sanex' Cieśla, Robert Plesowicz, & Łukasz Włodarczyk, Awaken Realms, 2021)Games Played Last Week:04:43 -Don't Rock the Croc (Uncredited, FoxMind, Unknown)07:52 -War Story: Occupied France (Dave Neale and David Thompson, Osprey Games, 2024)13:20 -Barcelona: Passeig de Gràcia (Dani Garcia, Board&Dice, 2024)20:27 -Mass Effect: The Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz (Eric M.

An auspicious palindrome of an episode number! Granted, in triple digits one encounters a palindrome every ten episodes or so, but I'm sure the numerologists amongst us have special enthusiasm for the mighty TRIP THREE. I mean, primes, and threes, and all that. Anyway, it'll be a minute until we reach episode TRIP FOUR, so let's savour this while we can.01:10 AYURIS: Mille Fiori (Reiner Knizia, Schmidt Spiele, 2021)Games Played Last Week:04:06 -Lunar Rush (Steven "Skippy" Brown, Dead Alive Games, 2023)08:53 -Dragons Down (Scott DeMers, Mr. B Games, 2024)16:20 -Things in Rings (Peter C.
