My project to organize my ASL SK counters continues.  Next up are the Italians and axis minor, and then the system counters.  Once I figured out how I wanted to do the labels, I've made steady progress, and it's been somewhat mindless and enjoyable, certainly more fun than clipping counters (which I don't enjoy).  I listen to a classic rock station on Pandora and wonder which songs will make Metal Dog's bracket feeder.  However, I am looking forwarding to finishing, clearing off my game table, and getting back to actually playing.

^ I'd call you a sadist, but that's some impressive organizational skills. I think you made GJK make a pup tent in his pants.

Indeed.  Are those RAACO storage containers trailrunner?

They are Hozan containers.  Pretty nice, but not cheap.

I have a copy of Dark, Darker, Darkest coming sooner or later. Couldn't pass up the price (basically free with Amazon credits) and after having read reviews and watched a few playthrough videos, the game looks pretty fun. I've heard it's fiddly as hell, but Lonesome Gamer did a great playthrough series of it on YT, and I figured it would make good GH playthrough forum fodder in the future. Especially around Halloween, perhaps.

May sell mine sometime, to free up shelf space.  That big box takes up a lot of space, and I've never even played it.

I cleared away Flash Point Fire Rescue last night and put down Gliders from the Sky. Good, simple, quick-playing game covering the assault on Fort Eben Emael on May 10-11, 1940. The historical scenario is not at all a challenge (much like it was in real life, I think), but there's several options for ramping up the difficulty to make it more of a challenge.

Next going to cut out St. George's Valor's pieces and try it out, too.

Just got Dark, Darker, Darkest in the mail yesterday and took a look...the Lonesome Gamer's video play-through of it didn't do it justice. I like his vids, but Lord, he needs light on his subjects. The pieces are pretty cool and the game looks to be a lot of fun. Will probably get to this by Halloween to do an AAR or something on it, then.

Should be getting Conflict of Heroes: Guadalcanal, Ghostbusters: The Boardgame, and Alien vs. Predator: The Hunt Begins (2nd ed.) tomorrow, then getting The Captain Is Dead by early next week and War in the Wind: The Battle of Attu 1943 by mid-September.

Always wanted a Conflict of Heroes game but wasn't sure if I should start with the Russian Front version or this Pacific War version. Guadalcanal was a bit cheaper so I went for that. I think Ghostbusters and AvP would be great forum games, here. War in the Wind was a surprise; I'd not heard of it before and found it, of all places, on Walmart.com.

I know that feeling. I'm about to do a re-org of my shelves. I'm thinking of selling off all my X-Wing minis that I've accumulated and never played, for starters. :(

that could fund your trip to Origins, where you can buy all sorts of X-Wing minis that can sit on your shelves unplayed O0

No, it won't. No way I'm getting that much scratch from a few games.

I still haven't played Sails of Glory either.  May have to put that one up for grabs, too, along with a few others.  Shelf cleaning time.

Will post my sale list here shortly before offering them anywhere else, in case somebody's looking for any of them.

Sucks, but I started taking a realistic look at how soon I may actually be playing a few of these games in big ass boxes. 

Pretty sure I may never get to some of those near the bottom of my huge "To Play" stack, unfortunately. 

At that point, I have to tell myself I'm basically just collecting a big box with pretty cardboard & plastic inside.   :-\   

Self intervention?    :-"

Next thing, you'll be telling me I'm NOT likely to play that copy of "Princess Ryan's Star Marines" I bought at the GenCon auction because it was $1.
