The Zerg never thought of it, but all you'd ever need to destroy the Terrans would be to teach them how to make origami, or anything similarly pointless. Then simply let them practice their newly discovered craft to its extreme, perhaps even recreating a full blown StarCraft battle (via), thus failing to advance their space-combat tech, or win any significant intergalactic was. Shocking!
Mankind just loves being idle; in a refined way, of course.

oh sweet idleness...bring it on! i can remember creating a buffy card game one time.....it played crap, but the month it took me to make and cut, were pretty enjoyable.....
ReplyDelete"its' not what you do, its the way that you do it", although i beleive Bananarama were referring to something else..
Extremely interesting... Come on Mr. Elderly... Talk card games.
ReplyDeletefrom what i can remember......the game featured 6 mini playing boards containing "event" square, event cards were either in your favour (found an extra woody spike, extra power number) or against (forced onto another playing board, met an enemy etc.) principle playing character card had simple defence, power, attack ranking, with the chance of meeting good characters to help you do battle with the hordes of evil nasty vampy thingies. Game balance was crap and you hardly ever found a buddy. Point of the game was to survive the six playing boards.....
ReplyDeleteBut the best fun was designing it ....... i've drivelled on again haven't I?
Nope, you hadn't mentioned a thing... But it really sound very (and by that I mean VERY) interesting... So, did it play a bit like Knizia's LOTR or am I getting it all wrong?
ReplyDeleteWould you happen to have any photos? A pdf manual? Something to show us?
Please?
it was about 3 years ago, but my sixteen year old has had two bedroom makeovers since....i'll ask but as she living with her mom, i don't hold out much hope.
ReplyDeleteon the other hand i keep old paper bags and string.......goin to check out Knizia's LOTR, never heard about it....
Let's hope... Besides a game is never truly lost (?).
ReplyDeleteoh, and Knizia's Lord of the Rings was quite a game (it still is...). Have a look at Board Game Geek.
thanks gnome, will do..... and your right, if the bug hits me some rainy monthe i might just dust off my clear sticky plastic and paper glue.....now where did i leave my crayons....
ReplyDeleteWorry not... I can send you mine and a few coloring books... You know, for practice.
ReplyDeleteyour so good....your just goodness wrapped up in a big parcel.....with pointy ears.....
ReplyDeleteAnd a nice hat!
ReplyDeletehow could i forget the hat ah i know it should be red and it's white....unless of course theres a very good reason for it being white....
ReplyDelete(more likely it early alzheimers)
Reason for white? But we crushed the Whites back in the 20s... As for Mr. Alzheimer he seems like a great german chap... I just keep forgetting him... Was it Alz.. Als? WTF is wrong with me memory?
ReplyDeleteS*$@! its catching.......
ReplyDeleteJust like the bird flu...
ReplyDeletefrightening concept...birds not knowing whether they've landed on a branch or are about to take off.
ReplyDelete(russian vodka does it to me everytime)
