terryclothI played a little city of heroes and eq2 over the weekend... not a terribly huge amount, though. I felt sort of bored with both of them, or at least with Chitter and K'Teri. Chitter's running through all the same quests that Terishaell just went through, in Nek, and K'Teri was having trouble finding a group again. Ended up Duoing with a blaster two levels lower than her, who wanted to run her missions... we *won*, of course, but the enemies were red to the blaster and it took for-fricking-ever.
Later, ended up in a duo with an earth/mace tank, who was also not so good at the damage thing. This was with Litany (ill/storm controller), who at least has some attacks. It was originally a larger group, but after I group-invised everyone at the start, one of the people zipped around exploring the whole map (forcing everything to spawn), then everyone except the two of us quit. We won, but the last battle was crazy -- it looked like at least two big groups intended for a team of four were stacked on top of each other in a tiny room -- two bosses, four lieutenants, and I literally couldn't count the minions because they were little clockworks hiding on shelves and behind boxes and crap. Couple deaths before we got past that part.
Sunday, after some CoH, I went to the group at Southcenter and brought SPANC - Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirls. It's a game vaguely like Munchkin, in that the main component is a bunch of cards, but you're playing a crew of space-pirate amazon ninja catgirls racing to complete a series of capers to accumulate loot. And toys. And poolboys.
There were a couple people there who'd played before, who pointed out some rules I was getting wrong, and some rules I was getting right that they'd been getting wrong... we looked in the rules to see who was right each time. I was using the optional 'catfight' rules because it's really the only chance to interact with the other players, since none of the toys are so significant that you'd ever really make trades, which annoyed one of the experienced players because it let me kill his best cat. }:P Mostly everyone picked on me, even when I wasn't winning, though.
The game's fun, but it needs better toys. Not 'higher stats' type, but 'do weird things' type.
Afterwards we watched Steamboy over at Legend's, which is by the guy who did Akira and, like Akira, put me to sleep during the middle. Also played a bunch of magic with Kitsunetaur and Slox there... the second movie was one I'd seen before and didn't really like, though, and I was kind of bored for a couple hours waiting for the people who needed a ride to finish watching it. x.x
