Next time everyone should wear their avatar on their shirt for notoriety.

I will be sure to wear mine

Shirt? I am my avatar!

[Willfor]

Clearly you have to put your own face on your shirt.

Wow, you wern't kidding about that redeye. Damn.

Rare is the man who looks better with a beard/stache, and arrogant is the man who thinks that man is him.

Nonsense.  Truly alluring men look like they live in caves and eat their meat raw.  There is nothing sexier than a man so refined in his facial choices that he puts the winners of the World Beard and Moustache Championships on edge for fear of competition.

I vote for Toady's beard, although at the end of the day his comfort has to come first, and with the blistering summer he's had to deal with I can see why a beard might not be practical.

Alluring to head lice maybe.

I think going beardless is a good decision and should be supported by the community.

A community revolving around dwarves going beardless? I don't think so!

PS. Your nick suggests a freak accident, therefore I understand your view

It was cool to see people playing Roborally.

A cool game. 

Once in a blue moon I can convince some people to play it.

Same goes for Wizwar and Aquire. 

Now if I could just convince someone to read the rules to Gunslinger.

As someone over 40 years old I often wonder if kids today get into board games at all or are board games becoming something archaic like newspapers?

Ha no!
As a 30-ish lifelong boardgame afficionado I can allay your fears and say that boardgames are having a rennaisance right now.
The game Settlers has even lowered the participation barrier for more complex games. (a bit)

There is a marked lack of gaming clubs though, to get gamers together.

My weekly gaming group is getting less active over time as we get girls, more demanding work and move away. It is a sad thing. Last time we even played rummicup instead of our usual expanded settlers game.
sad.

What about... mustaches?!

This particular RoboRally game was pretty epic.  In the picture I'm the guy on the right.  The guy next to me, who's name I've unforgivably long since forgotten, took an early lead.  In the picture he hasn't yet hit the second flag.  There were three others in the race, but they all had serious difficulties escaping the starting position.  The guy next to me made it most of the way to the third board before I even made it to the second flag, so I decided to devote my efforts to keeping him from winning.  In the picture I only have my first power up, but I ended up picking up two more.  One was Radio Control which allowed me to use my laser to override the programming of my victim instead of damaging them.  I spent most of the game chasing that guy and trying to radio control him off the edge of the board or into board hazards.  And I succeeded.

It was a fantastic game and I extend my thanks to all the other players for their good sportsmanship (at least in RoboRally terms) and especially to the guy I destroyed for bringing the game and making it interesting.

Y'all are great!

If we're still looking for pictures, I took some unforgivably awful ones with my phone for the blog post. Those are scaled down by 25%, and you can still see grain. Ugh.

Speaking of grain, you have to cook the seeds at a kitchen to make them edible.
