Has anyone been playing Among Us on console or PC? I've been playing with my family for the last few weeks and it's great craic. Just like WW but much faster. Only £3ish on steam I think.

I have it on my fone. Let's organise a game evening!!!

We usually chat on discord during the voting phase. My sister has been finding it really awkward trying to mute herself for the play phase at the same time as actually playing.

I'd be up for a few games some evening though. It works best with 10 people I find. 2 Imposters and 8 Crewmates.

I'll play. sounds like a bit of fun.

If anyone is around and has a window. Look to the left of the moon (9 o’clock). What’s that bright thing? Looks too yellow to be a star.

Baggly

The ISS maybe?

I read the Northern lights are gonna be visible tonight in part of the country

No northern lights visible

Baggly

Yeah its the ISS

Cool. I’ll give em a wave

Neowise

The ISS zips across the sky. Its only visible for under a minute each transition.
22:18, left of the moon last night was mars, the red planet.

@21:00, yep, still mars.

Baggly

Did not know that - thanks Neowise - good knowledge

So you’re telling me I flashed my boobs at Martians and not astronauts?

They’ll never invade earth now

You were watching the live stream from the cameras on ISS too then?

I will refer you to my previous post.

Question,

Ive noticed a few of you guys are moderators in After Hours and Current Affairs..... my question is...


Are you mad?

I get a nice forum like here would be nice but dealing with the trolls in those threads must be heartbreaking.

Ted_YNWA

Current Affairs attracts a lot more than AH.

There is a good group in each, so the workload is shared.


Going mad is not something to be feared.

Baggly

Ah is grand these days.

CA less so. Its still grand.

It's actually one of the criteria for being a mod....

Right?

I just installed it after a friend told me about it. Would be up for a few games for sure.

National Lampoons Winter Holiday. You may know it better as Christmas Vacation. So apparently it was released in the UK and Ireland as the former title though I never heard of it until today.
Is anyone familar with that alternative movie title or has it always been christmas vacation?

I’ve always known it as Christmas vacations. I hate that “for the holidays” saying.

Zaph

Only ever known it as Christmas Vacation. Only got round to watching it for the first time a couple of years ago and unfortunately it didn't live up to its reputation imo.

Thats a noodle scratcher. Very complex and a lot of moving parts. But its worth a read, definitely food for thought.

Very disappointed this wasn't a new game for us all, I was very intrigued by the title

It was deactivated a few years ago, can't be used any more. It came about after some BGRH shenanigans, probably drink fuelled, iirc.

Look someone needs to step up and invent a bouncy castle game for here now..

I don't know what it would be about, or how it may work but it needs to happen

Bouncy Castle SHEEPEEHS

Even numbered questions are SHEEP, Odd numbered questions are PEEHS, the winner is the one who's score is mid-bounce (aka. middle of the pack) when the game ends.

Sounds like an absolute head melt, so someone else can tinker with the idea and run it if they want... Might appeal to the more sadistic gamerunners who like seeing people have mental breakdowns...

There are non-sadistic gamerunners?

Note my use of "the more sadistic gamerunners"... suggesting that there are varying levels of sadism rather than a lack of sadism altogether. :pac:

Necro

I think that's a little too sadistic even for my taste

But I might see how it could possibly work seeing as I've been referred for a Covid test.... AGAIN.

Fingers crossed it's negative.
