I managed to do extremely well on the marathon Driven, where I managed a full excellent combo almost all of the way through Energizer, and managed a full great combo up until the horrible part of Monolith. Not my highest score ever (screwed up a lot of Monolith :P), but still awesome.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images2\/062311itg.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tuesday was board games at Patrick&#8217;s. Played lots of Malta! (which has been extremely well-received by everyone that has played it), some Wits and Wagers, and a new game called <a href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/71973\/crows\">Crows<\/a> (which I like a lot and will have to look into getting). The night ended (at like 12:30!) with some Hoopla, but limited to drawing.
