![]() Let’s do this again more and more!” which - while this might not be that game for you - we hope will show you the reasons why we fell in love with the game and what to look out for in your own play through. So we thought we would do that by reviewing our all-time favourite game, the game we first sat and played together as a couple and went “You know what? We love this. We hopefully have plenty more episodes and articles and videos to do that for you guys. We’re not going to waffle forever though. This is a great thing! Creativity, imagination, social interaction, problem solving, and buckets and buckets of fun. This revival of sorts has those 'old family backups' becoming regular and chosen past times in homes and clubs all over the world. Smaller companies are being brought to life and growing exponentially in this 'Kickstarter age' as we fund the dreams of everyone with an excellent idea in their head, and profiling for this has never been higher with popular franchises and companies producing more videos and coverage than ever before. Classic companies are reinventing their wheel to supply their gamers with the things they have been demanding for years. We are possibly stuck in one of the luckiest times to be a hobbyist of any form right now, its perhaps the biggest and strongest push of material from companies producing these subjects over the last few years. How’s your fall so far? Liking what you hear? If so, continue! We’re talking board games, table top wargames, roleplaying games and card games. We're looking at turning your ability to talk to your mates over headphones to sitting across a table from them and looking into the whites of their eyes as they betray or aid you in an adventure of your minds making. ![]() We're taking those games out of the TV and onto the table. Not the high graphic resolution of new age works of art, not the classic pixelated dreams of Italian plumbers and hedgehogs that you grew up with. So, subject matter, as you have probably guessed, what we’re going to be talking about each fortnight is. However before we do, a big thanks for allowing us to do so, and we aim to deliver the same awesome to you that the OOH guys have delivered to us over the years. I don’t actually think I hesitated for more than a second before my answer came out, and Nik's answer was shouted immediately at me in the car, ow! It’s something we respect and we're happy to become a part of this excellent world. So when Adam put the question to us, "would we like to do this and join?" the natural order of things was to say yes. We’ve been followers of the Old Oilhouse in one way or another for years and we're friends with many of its members like Adam, Gary, Ross, Stu, Billy and Rob. My name is K (ok, not my actual name, but my name is Christopher Kirkpatrick and when we were younger playing football that’s quite a mouthful to shout out on the pitch which coincidentally had four other Chrises on it) and my partner's name is Nik (no special associated back story naming here). First up some introductions are in order as well as some thanks. Welcome to the fall guys and girls, don’t grab onto anything just let it happen. So here we go, if you're reading this you’re either thinking about it or if you have just stumbled here by accident, now stood on the edge of a cliff of what you like the look of. I can safely say that I have enjoyed the fall ever since and am still greatly enjoying it. It was that simple! I was asked once, took a look, and then dove in with both feet and I’ve been plummeting in one position or another ever since. ![]() Ironically it was the same question in another format (“would you like to try this hobby?”) that seriously hooked my partner six years ago. I suppose that’s the best place to begin with this endeavour, and that for me is where it all began twenty one years ago now.
