		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been another one of those longer-than-expected absences.  I haven&#8217;t disappeared, but with school in full swing, my work time has been more structured, and my not-work time has turned into hours of Deus-Ex and FIFA 2012. That last bit has been percolating in my head as an upcoming blog post, which I hope to have finished mid-week.  Also, I am almost done with a new game review over on oldboardgamers.com, which I will link to as soon as it gets posted (again, mid week with any luck).  Finally, Valerie has been in Korea recently, which put our podcast on hold for </p>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Early in my month-long meme for July, I asked readers for some questions about boardgames that I didn&#8217;t consider. It&#8217;s been a busy month in the interim, with school gearing up, writing a long review at oldboardgamers.com on A Few Acres of Snow, and Valerie and I starting our new podcast, Someone is Wrong on the Internet (You can check it out at the link, or just assume that it&#8217;s awesome and subscribe with one of the two buttons in the side-bar. Is it a shameless plug if the podcast belongs to me?) As I sit here, awaiting the start of </p>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What is your desert island game?&#8221; We made it! It&#8217;s the end of the month-long meme, and we have arrived at the final* question.  I have to pin myself down to a game that I would keep if all others were to disappear. So a game that offers as much variety as possible would probably be best.  But perhaps a newer game, one whose depths I have not yet plumbed.  I must contemplate . . . Nope.  I musn&#8217;t.  It&#8217;s Age of Steam.  Along with all of my expansion boards, of course.  I know that this one was the answer </p>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What is the game that is your least favorite among those that you own and will keep?&#8221; Again, sorry with the lateness of today&#8217;s update.  Dave&#8217;s floor is done, and I have been handsomely rewarded with sushi.  Ow.  My typing fingers hurt. Today&#8217;s question could be interpreted as a variation on Day 25&#8242;s, since the games I only keep around for the benefit of others by definition are one&#8217;s I don&#8217;t particularly like. So instead, I could interpret the question to be one of which is the last game that I wouldn&#8217;t think of giving up.  The problem there is </p>]]></description>
