Hall of Heroes

Trivia and steak at Forresters and the 2010 season begins.

My brother arrived in town, so he was able to join The Devil Hates Kung-Fu on this night of the mega-teams. We had five but most other tables resembled small nation-states.

The host took too long this time, so even though we hung back I missed out on hearing the final score. I think we did well though and we were only 2 behind the pace at half time.

I should have fought harder on the Egg McMuffin question. But I don’t actually think the ’sausage sandwich’ is on the menu anywhere other than Australia. It’s not even listed among the variants on wikipedia. Although apparently we had something called a Massive McMuffin once.

I just scored the Orange Box for $50 in a discount bin at Dick Smith.

The plus is that my second-hand PC should be up to playing it with a semi-decent framerate!

The down side is that my gaming life resembles this xkcd.

This time I had two steaks. A bowl of chips costs exactly the same and I was still hungry, so why not?

They are still fast for trivia here but not fast enough for me to be there when our final score is read out. I think that The Devil Hates Kung-Fu did well. Maybe we even beat those pesky Well Hungarians. But does it really matter? Fun is the real winner.
