    Gaming at TJ

    I was among many parents who chaperoned the Frosh lockin at TJ Friday night (thankfully I got the early shift).

    I was assigned to the board game room, where there was a really intense game of Monopoly, as well as chess, Uno, Connect Four, and even game of Magic the Gathering, the first Id ever witnessed. (and yeah, I know the last three arent really board games - whatever).

    It would have generated more qs for this forum had I been assigned to the PC-LAN room, or the console room, but such was not to be. There was also a DDR room that was quite busy.

    We used to have a 40k club, but a lot of them graduated my freshman year and it kind of fell apart.

    I had a gaming club in undergrad. Fun times. In graduate shcool, I didn't have the time (didn't take the time) to join the gaming club.

    I did play some games with my physics freinds though.

    What dont you like about them?

    I think for kids they are bad, but I had a group of college buddies who would play LAN 2-3 times a month. was a blast, in a very juvenile way i guess, but whatever. there was probably something wrong showing up at a LAN gaming center sorta buzzed, with all the kids there, but it was funny in a kinda nerdy sorta way.
