I was thick and didn't get it for a long while. For those who need it explained:

Clown Cars are normal looking cars that typically hold many more clowns than you'd expect

I'll second this. For some folks just hanging out with people can be exhausting if you're not naturally chatty. Personally, I run out of meaningful things to talk about in focused conversation pretty quickly and need a chance for my brain to "reload" or I'm stuck talking about the weather to keep a conversation going. This goes double with people I don't particularly know well.

If you're playing a game with folks, most of the time everyone's focus is on the game or talking about things related to the game which is easy enough to do since it is a shared experience. I often find I have a whole bandolier of semi-related ideas to discuss or funny quips that build up as we play ready to be deployed at any available opportunity. That feeling of plenty in terms of conversation makes socializing over board games so much easier for me.

Okay... fine. This is the one case where I'm cheering for ICE.

Chunk of the founders ousted and a dev team resentful about getting screwed. Think we got ourselves another Concord on our hands.

As the Frenchman prepared to relinquish his pole, his own manhood grazed the bar with enough force to send it crashing to the floor, thus ending his hopes of a medal.

 

Star Control 2 was a seminal gaming experience for me in my younger days and I'm pretty pumped about a proper sequel to it from the original creators, Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III, after so many years!

After the lackluster "sequels" (Star Control 3 and Star Control: Origins) that were made largely without the original developers input, I had pretty much given up the franchise for dead till now.

Still like 27 days to go on their Kickstarter at the time of this posting so get on the Frungy hype train while you can!

For those of you not in the know, you can get Star Control 2 for free on Steam and see what the pinnacle of DOS adventure gaming was all about :D
