It’s the day after Thanksgiving, and we’re all still recovering from the massive amount of food that we put into our bodies. Crafting a feast fit for royalty, my girlfriend and I successfully dominated our first-ever attempt at roasting a turkey. We may be eating leftovers for awhile… In the meantime, it’s time to relaxContinue reading “Not for the Dinner Table: Birds in Games”
It’s Halloween, and we’ve decided to rank the spookiest characters from one of our favorite board games!

Growing up, there were a lot of movies that I saw that probably caused at least 85% of the nightmares that I am still having to this day.
