Went to see Wall-E last night, with alextfish and isa62v4. I'd been very much looking forward to seeing it, and I'd heard it had good reviews, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected to. It was quite fun, but I much preferred all the other Disney/Pixar films.

Yesterday we had a GamesAfternoon, focusing on playing people's home-made games. angoel was there, who created On the Underground, and he'd brought some more of his games. They were quite professional-looking for unpublished games, each in its own plastic box with colour DTPed boards and rules and box front. I got to play four of them: Top Banana, which was good, and Rally Car, Captains of Piraeus, and Colour Clash, which were excellent. (Colour Clash has changed its name, but I never fully caught the new name.)

I hope he gets them published. I want to buy copies.

We also played alextfish's game Castles in the Air, and between us we came up with a change which simplified the rules and turn structure while also making the game much more fun to play and giving players more choice, so that was excellent. Alex is now putting together new rules sheets incorporating the change.
