CCGs

They'll make a collectible card game for just about anything, won't they?
I just noticed that there's one based on the novel A Game of Thrones (link to game, not novel).

However I found this funnier: Cthulhu 500, a racing game based on the Cthulhu mythos.
Thus you have things like the The Unspeakable Oldsmobile, The Yellow Signpost, Treadtacles, and so on. Sounds very silly.


But apparently Arkham Horror (I think rillaith or simonb mentioned it a couple of weeks ago?) is getting updated and reprinted, which is what I was really trying to find out before being distracted.

Dublin, Ireland - thoughts

Hmm. A guy from Google sent me an email earlier this week, as apparently he'd found my online resume and was impressed enough to ask me to go for an interview.
I have a phone interview this evening, prior to the work xmas party (Punk Arabian Nights...)

Google could be interesting to work for, but they're located in Dublin. I've never been there.. Aside from stout beer, what's the city like?
