IN SPACE

This weekend, I went to Intercon I, which was quite good. Played five games, all were fun, three were especially excellent: Presque Vu (a sci-fi amnesia game in the same series as a game I really enjoyed last year), In Og, No One Can Hear You Scream (Technically That's a Lie) (a caveman game based on the Land of Og tabletop and 2001: A Space Odyssey, an excellent choice for the really tired on Saturday morning slot), and Shadow Over Babylon (a game of Lovecraftian horror and political intrigue set in occupied Iraq circa 2015).

I also got back in time to see the Watchmen movie with Sunday Night Film Club, which was also fun. The movie was about what I expected, was pretty good (about the same as the book with benefits unique to each), perhaps could have stood to be cut down a little bit more. I say read the book first, but it's not a huge problem if you don't.
