Not really sure what's going on with the Secret Santa as pikachugundam probably has been super busy with something (been gone for more than two weeks).
And yes, let's go with the Phelddagrif title.
Also, here's the last (and hardest) math quiz in the series. Though Bur will probably still finish in about half the time.
(Also, Let It Go (from Frozen) is not technically a Christmas song, but I tend to associate it with the season as well. I suppose the same can be said for several other songs from Frozen as well.)
I must confess, Frozen is actually one of my favourite movies. Top 20, for sure.
Yes, I made four math games (here's the list of all of them). These games are simply solving expressions; the most advanced thing in these is fractional exponents.
If I do continue with these though, I will probably use a few more tricks so that I could get more big numbers without having to use long expressions. I could add factorials to the mix (5! = 120, which will help a lot here), or I could directly concatenate numbers (eg. sticking the 3 and 2 together to make 32).
Does anybody play the Age of Empires II expansions? If so, I do a lot of voices for the company that still makes the expansions (Forgotten Empires). If you play an upcoming one about wars between ancient armies from Vietnam, Khmer, Burma, Malay, and more, you'll hear me in it a LOT.
FYI, moving is hard work. Our house is looking more or less like a house should finally, after two days hard labour. Just ignore the random crap piled here and there, please.
Been a few days... anything happening recently? Or everyone getting busy preparing for the holidays?
I'm gonna be playing piano at the nearby mall today.
Also working on the "no U" quiz - I had originally planned to release the "no I" quiz first, but I decided to switch it here so that I could get Pentatonix and Trans-Siberian Orchestra on one of these since it's more fitting for the Christmas season.
Are we listing three random items we see around ourselves once again? Alright, here's three items:
1) Half-empty bag of chips
2) Nearly-empty box of cookies
3) Yellow highlighter
Anyways, I don't remember if I mentioned this random fun math fact here or not, but... (10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6) / (5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1) = 2016.
1) An old sculpture I did that was part of my Foriysian Morality Play.
The two heads share one body, yet don't get along. They fight, tear themselves apart (figuratively and literally), realize they need each other, then reconcile by stitching themselves back together (figuratively and literally).
2) A Modern "Sun and Moon" deck still under construction that I hope to finish tonight and play at Tuesday Night Modern.
I saw that Westworld got a lot of Golden Globe nominations today, as it rightfully should. That and Stranger Things were my two favorite new series shows this year.
They aren't much good for rolling, but the weight difference is incredible. They look more or less identical, but one is 11x heavier than the other. It's pretty cool to hold them both in your hand together, and the look on people's faces when you pass them the light one followed by the heavy one is priceless.
I'm a materials engineer who plays a lot of tabletop games, so when I saw these online, they called to me.
Kank, yeah, I'll probably go see it, though maybe not until the new year. You going opening night?

Also, I like the hippo song.
There has been no Secret Santa drawing. I imagine our fearless Secret Santa manager is busy with his work.

What's happening you say?
Legendary actor Kirk Douglas turns 100 today. I'd say that's pretty special.
I'm pretty sure the vast majority of us are quite busy with the holiday season, I know I am.
By the way,
1. Red tractor
2. Vintage radio
3. Chicken fingers
George Burns turned 100 in 1996 and died 2 months later.
Bob Hope turned 100 in 2003 and died 2 months later.
Does this mean Kirk Douglas is destined to die in February?

2. Yarn
3. More yarn
I need to finish knitting a thing so I can knit another thing. I have too much yarn that I need to use up so I can buy more yarn.

2) Russian rupees from 1800's
3) My knitting project (I'll post pics when it's done)
2) A folded-up folding chair
3) Many cardboard boxes filled with cards, boards, and boxes
2) Two dice - one magnesium, the other tungsten.
3) Three whiteboard markers.
2) A Modern "Sun and Moon" deck still under construction that I hope to finish tonight and play at Tuesday Night Modern.
3) Seven pairs of shoes
Hmmmm. Metal dice? Sounds intriguing.
Anyone looking forward to anything coming out, say, maybe Rogue One?
