This month's cover photo is of Jeff Lewis.

Best known for his character Vork (Real Name...Herman Holden).
He is the guild master of The Knights of Good in The Guild.

Vork is the most frugal(cheapest) man in the world
and appears to have dug my old headset out of the garbage.

One of my friends has an interest in Avalon Hill games. I’m taking Arab Israeli Wars to him this weekend. We both already have Panzer Leader.

I’m still debating whether to pull the trigger on the new COD WW2 game. Battlefield 4 is starting to get a little old.

Games?

I'm still playing Stars2! running within a Windows 3.1 emulator in DosBox.

Does that make me a geek, a throwback, or a Luddite?

I like taking a break from politics at times
and recreational gaming and doing this page provides it,
but sometimes it can lead to....

A Journey into the Dark Side... Part 1

I came upon the YouTube series Good Game and watched the first episode.
I decided to check out one of the creators, Michele Morrow, IMDb, FB, and Twitter
with the intention of doing a review of it for you folks.

While on her FB page I noticed a post she made referencing last year's 'women's march'...
I light-heartedly shared this year's message from Trump...

Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all Women to March.
Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success
and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2018

Well, all hell broke loose...
I was immediately banned and she made the following comment...

"FYI: you post about Trump and spread his crap, I will ban you.
Trump is Hitler reincarnated. This is my fan page, not a discussion page.
If you want a discussion, go to a discussion forum or create your own fan page.
I will not tolerate Nazis, racists, sexists, homophobes, AT ALL. You’ve been warned.

This is my page, and I'll make whatever statements I want. If you don’t like them, you can leave.
I don’t care for Trump supporters and I won’t have them near me.
Tolerance for idiocy is what got us Trump. I won’t tolerate it anymore.
He’s far worse than ANY alternative. And if you don’t agree with that - leave.

This resulted in a few folks saying bye-bye and leaving on their own accord while others that refused to toe the line were booted.

What made this all the more head-shaking was that in the heading to the photo of herself at last years march,
she quoted George Washington's advice to,

"indignantly frown(ing) upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our Country from the rest."

I went to Twitter, posted her quote of Washington and added...

"Respectfully suggest you listen to the advice of G. Washington posted here and on your FB page.
Your intolerance and hatred runs counter to that message."

To which she replied...

" I won’t support Nazis.
I have no tolerance for people who continue to support trump, as he is everything Nazis believed in.
I have no time for you if you are siding with Nazis."

To which I responded,
Calling all Trump supporters Nazis goes even beyond bigotry and borders upon lunacy. Get a grip.
Geez, I came to your page because I was intending to promote Good Game on a major website
and I'm totally taken aback by your hatred and bigotry. I don't want to be angry at you.
There is enough division and hatred in the US without adding more. I strive to unite not divide.
Your anger is not healthy for you. Get your emotions in balance with your ability to think rationally.
Disagree without being Disagreeable

and wished her a Good Evening.

As far as Good Game goes all I am inclined to say is...

It was somewhat amusing although seemed like the derivative poorer cousin of The Guild
but without the loveable characters (perhaps a reflection on one of its creators).
The first episode is free on YouTube, following episodes available on YouTube Red.
Personally, I won't be paying money to see the remaining episodes.

May be delay in posting February thread.
Was just about ready to when the power went off. Only light snow and no wind so not sure what caused it. Will check power company website with phone and see if they have any info posted.
