League Night Recap for 2/28/23
The last day of February was also the last night for the regular league season. The final seeds for the playoffs, and even more importantly who would make it into A division, was decided on this night. It promised to be a long night since some people needed to make up Star Trek (it had…

League Night Recap for 1/24/23
Our penultimate league night was way back on January 24, and it was the conclusion of a two-bank rotation between Hades (Indiana Jones, AC/DC, Deadpool, Ghostbusters, Stranger Things) and Ares (The Simpsons, The Mandalorian, Scared Stiff, Star Trek, and Attack from Mars).

League Night Recap for 11/22/22

League Night Recap for 11/8/22
Note: Last time I declared my recap the Worst League Update Ever because I somehow forgot to take a single photo. This time I also forgot to take a single photo. In order to avoid having to call this the New Worst Ever, I am presenting it with dramatic recreations. The part of everyone is…
