And the last set, hot on its heels. I guess this means I played seven games in two days, so really, if you want to play some before the comp ends on the 15th, there's plenty of time. Anyway, the games: Violet, April in Paris, Escape from the Underworld, Everybody Dies, Opening Night, Berrost's Challenge, and Grief. Now go play for yourself!

Well, this is hardly punctual, but life gets in the way sometimes. Anyway, some more comp reviews: LAIR of the CyberCow, Snack Time!, The Lucubrator, Magic, Ananachronist, Trein, Piracy 2.0, Riverside, and Dracula's Underground Crypt.

Ok, this is my last review post of the year, so I guess I'm obliged to list my top books reviewed this year. But first one more review squeaks across the line:

( The Dresden Files (books 1-5) )

Couple of books. Also, I saw Charlie Wilson's War, which is recommended and is kind of like a Heinlein novel as written by Aaron Sorkin.

( Watchtower )

Couple of reviews. I also read Making Money, but it turns out I'm too distressed by the Alzheimer's thing to write a review, and anyway it's exactly like you expect, which is fine.

( Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together )

Books, thus:

( A Walk in the Woods )

Another couple.

( Chinatown Beat )
