Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
Now people are uploading pictures of their closets and closet shelves. One more thing I have to take a picture of, when done uploading my library to here ;)

So I just got this game that I think will be of interest to people here.
It's called "Battlecon: War of Indines". The reason I think people on here might like it is that it's actually a 2 player head-to-head 2D fighting game. Literally, it's a board game version of Street Fighter.
Both you and your opponent play a combo of 2 cards (a character-unique style and a base attack card), then you see who has the highest priority and the turn plays out based on that and various effects on both cards. You'll be moving along a small 2D area trying to avoid or hit your opponent so there's thought to be put during every turn. The game ends when either a player has no health left or the timer (which lasts 15 turns) ends.
Very cool game. There's 18 different playable characters which all play very differently (plus some promos if you can find them) and a ton of different play variants for replay value (tag team, 4-player battles, different arenas to fight in, super attacks). And there's a standalone expansion upcoming which adds a ton of characters and even more play variants like a single/multi-player dungeon crawl.
If you like fighting games you should definitely check this out.

Started building that collection up a little bit:

My sister picked up Pandemic and Gloom this weekend and we played both of them. I really likedPandemic, and I may need to buy that myself. Gloom on the other hand, while catering to my morbid humor, I wasn't in the mood for story telling and I didn't enjoy it as much as I should have. I'll give Gloom a second chance though, cause I really should like it.

Yeah Pandemic is really fun. I need to try it with the expansion. Apparently it makes it tougher and it seems to add lots of stuff such as infection mutations (and a traitor element, which people seem to prefer ignoring).
Actually, I don't have the game, maybe I should pick up the new reprint some time (since that's the one that will be supported from now on).
