"It's even more desolate in HD."

How new White Wolf marketed Vampire: the Masquerade to the alt-right and neo-nazis

...yikes.

I posted a little while ago about the Kickstarter for a new Leisure Suit Larry game involving Al Lowe (which, btw, got funded and is going ahead!). Well, it seems the Two Guys from Andromeda are at it too, to fund a "Spaceventure" game! (I guess only Vivendi or whoever they are nowadays has rights to the actual Space Quest IP?)

So I've been reading collaborative game-playing transcripts from #ClubFloyd recently (http://www.allthingsjacq.com/interactive_fiction.html#clubfloyd), specifically Guess the Verb! just now. In the UCLA computer science scene, mention is made of the "Cruel Site of the Day". I think I had vaguely heard of this before (the game was authored in 2000 and this scene appears to be set in earlier times), so I Googled it up and lo, Cruel.com. About halfway down the page there is this post: http://www.cruel.com/59/endangered-profanity-mutton-monger.html which states:

The first profanity we’d like to rescue is mutton monger, an Elizabethan era term that describes a pimp. The term mutton once was used to describe prostitutes, so the mutton monger was the guy selling those nice cuts of meat.

Amusing and colorful enough. But I liked this bit at the end of the quote from a play that uses it:

Orlando: Thou keepest a man here, under my nose –

Matheo: Under thy beard.

Orl: As arrant a smell-smock, for an old mutton-monger as thyself.

Mat: No, as yourself.

Is it me, or is this the Elizabethan equivalent of "I know you are, but what am I" or "I'm rubber, you're glue"?

Each land was tapped for 6 mana, draw phase was draw 24 cards (and would have gone up higher each turn)
And I had infinite health and creatures.

But I couldn't touch him

Arianwydd says:
are you sure you were playing Magic, and not Fluxx?

Well, it was a deck I made specifically to be silly
