Comment on Twilight Imperium: The Mentak Coalition by Ilkka

One thing that people generally dont use enough is space mines. When you have researched both racial techs you can build 1 space mine after combat with 1 TG. Space mines also prevents your enemies coming to you with massive fleets that tends to be problem for Mentak.

I looked at the back of the clock and it has a sticker that says it’s made by the the infiniti international group. I didn’t see a part number or anything else that might help.

I received my Kickstarted chips the other day and was more than impressed with their quality. They are hefty and have a great feel to them. They were even more than what I had expected. Now I am just wondering if I should have gotten more. Thanks for your great product.

That’s cool! Any idea of the name of the clock. It’s hard to sift through the hundreds listed on Target.com.

Believe it or not..it came from Target. The cool thing about the clock is that you can replace the images for each of the number so you can customize it.

I love the clock. I’ve been looking for a fitting clock for our game room. Where did you get it from?

@JQ – thanks for the comment – the MAME as a fun project, and honestly it turned out much better than I had expected. It plays just like the real deal arcade game.

I suppose I could have spent a bit more time with the automation, but it wasn’t getting as much use as I had hoped anyway.

Props for building that mame cabinet!

With steam, it can be set to auto update. Windows can be set to auto update, antivirus can be set to auto update (MS has a free antivirus nowadays, so one doesn’t have to pay for AV for all those computers). Flash can be set to auto update.

The main thing would be turning them on occasionally to get updates. But one can configure them with Wake On LAN (aka magic packets) and wake them all up on demand from a single computer. Do that once a month, let them update themselves, then shut them down.

Basically think like sys admin, trying to automate this stuff as much as possible.

Anyway, thought I’d throw my 2 cents out there. I know you are already changing to board game room.

Comment on Twilight Imperium: Strategy Guide by RK

Yeah, I have read many guides like this. There is one similarity that most of the guides share, which is using a lot of abbreviations. I think it is alright to use abbreviations as long as you have mentioned it somewhere in full. But I noticed even though you have explained some of your abbreviations for what they stand for, but not all of them. So you might want to edit the guide for those things.

Our gaming groups have been using the crescent to represent 4 gold with great success. It speeds up gameplay and makes transactions much easier, since nearly all things involving gold are in multiples of 2.
