Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rel" data-source="post: 4433144" data-attributes="member: 99">Correct.  And spiteful.And yet my spite draws the line when it gets to Hyp.  Even though he speaks American better than I speak New Zealandese, I just can't bring myself to hate the man.  He is a gaming tour de force (I'll bet he speaks France-ese better than me too).The very first day I'm at GenCon the guy is in a Dread game I'm playing and he's playing a pair of conjoined contortionist twins.  And he's crushing both roles with a vengeance.  The part where he's having an argument against himself AND making pulls against himself is LEGENDARY QUALITY HILARITY.On Friday night he's at the ENnies in a gold, poofy shirt that would make The Rouse drool with envy.  <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/RobMoore66/SKnDIRdqe2I/AAAAAAAAATU/adFWDNMxlRs/GenCon%202008%20036.jpg?imgmax=512" target="_blank">So incredibly poofy</a>.  Then he goes and turns the second best idea ever for a gaming product into the best idea ever for a gaming product.  Keep a <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />ing eye out for it, folks.By the time Saturday afternoon rolled around, the nearly sleepless nights and non-stop gaming was starting to take its toll on me.  Fortunately Hyp woke me up right at the start of my Sky Galleons of Mars game with a full-on axe-murderer level battle scream that had literally every other table in the building looking over to see what in the bloody hell was happening at our table.  Crazy Gurkha Fun, that's what!Anyway, what I'm saying is that the man is a gaming treasure, made all the more valuable for his scarcity around here.  If you happen to be near New Zealand, drop by Hyp's place and try to game with him.  I'm sure if you just ask around that you'll find him.  I mean how big can that place really be?You'll thank me later because the guy is fantastic.  And I'm not just saying that because he said my Sky Galleons game was his favorite game of the year.  I promise.</blockquote>
