One of the suberics recently half-jokingly suggested that the local friend who replaced one of her regular movie nights with a DNC-night give the same coverage to the RNC, so that the same crowd can throw soft things at the screen as a group activity. But if night 1 set the tone for the whole convention, I don't think that would work very well. As Kos said,

I think I figured out the formula:
9-11
9-11
9-11
9-11
John Kerry sucks
John Kerry is a flip-flopper
Terrorism
Amen
No talk about domestic issues. No talk about jobs. Nothing on the economy.

And hence nothing you can really talk back to. The entire structure makes my blood boil.

In happier news (swiped from jadelennox, look at the bios of the prinicipals of this small wargaming-revival company. One of them looks so out of place to almost seem a weak joke, but nope, it's the real deal; he's on record as being a game geek.

I support and embrace the celebrity-jockification of nerdy pastimes. Go stand next to Vin Diesel so I can get a group photo.
