Just passing through, it's the one place on the web that keeps the memories of Owen alive

Indeed and not to bang on about it too much, but we did toast Owen a couple of times at the cottage. The memorial hat is still going strong as the winner of the quiz receives it. The last I saw of it was on Myps head.

There seems to be one constant in this team of losers, doesn't there?

I don't think I've never been a on the winning team. Always number two: story of my life.

Yes. Curio fixes it.

The Ched Evans retrial hasn't been anything but saddening reading.

I don't know why there's a trial. His name is Ched. Clearly he cannot be allowed to roam free.

Having not played a FIFA game in many, many, years, FIFA 17 is a joy. It is superb in the control system, pacing and level of detail (like the shaving foam to mark distances). The little practice games on the loading screens with high score boards make it fun to get your eye in and this translates really well into the games. The dynamic skill setting is pretty good, after I as Wednesday stuffed six past a hapless Cardiff, if suggested I raise it a bit and in the next game I slipped to a hard lost 2-1 vs Wolves. With lots of stuff to do online, those with friends have a lot to get I to and Myp needs to practice his free kicks more often as I am topping the list! Superb.

Yep really enjoying it as a fan of one of the best 20 teams in the country.

MaliA · **Posted:** Mon Oct 17, 2016 9:16

I like the way the league tables update and you can play that week's fixture. It's really neat.

Does anyone remember the game Ghost Castle?

I found it in my mom and dads loft the other day and played it last night with 3 friends. It was great fun and more tense than I remember it being.

Yes. A skull rolls down a tower. You will all die alone. I think I had it.

Was that the one where you could be 'scared stiff' and had to put a fright mask onto your meeple?

We tried to recreate the picture from the front of the box last night too... The result will be posted as soon as I'm done editing it.

Ghost Castle! Loved that. Bit simplistic though, no?

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Oct 18, 2016 12:21

I remember that. My cousin had it, I think.

It was very simple, IIRC - just roll a die, move along a track, drop a skull cannonball into the tower if you land on a certain space.

I was the Barbarian. And Ian was the sexy elf. And killed us all once we found Sir Ragnar so he could claim the reward for himself.

I did stand in the doorway and block you from leaving so you had to fight all the orcs by yourself. That was amoose.

I thought players could pass through other players in Hero Quest. As long as they don't land on the same square

The rules state that you may pass through other players as long as they allow it. Ian was not allowing it.

So you twat him with your sword. Or move to another doorway and see which of you the orcs would rather try and deal with.
