This was pretty close, huh?
(I'm "Talby". When I first started playing go online, I wanted a different name from "Pinback", a more... reflective, meditative name. So I picked a different guy from Dark Star. Then I stopped playing for about 20 years, and just started again a couple weeks ago. I'm terrible, but I was terrible, and 20 years away from the game hasn't really made me that much more terrible, interestingly enough.)
When you need my help because I'm ruining everything, don't look at me.

It looks like a fun game.

Interesting. Is the modern icons for VCR/movie controls taken from the game of Go, then? I've never seen it really played before.
the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!

Do you mean "Go looks like a fun game", or "this particular game of Go looked like it was fun"?

Well, Go is a fun game. I'd say it's the best board game ever created! Makes that chess look like a pile of elk rectums.

That is a bold statement, how so?

Well, it's a lot older, for one, which automatically means it's better. Also it's a lot more strategic, whereas chess is more tactical, so some of that is personal preference.
