Chutes 4, Snakes 2, Gamers 0

I just witnessed a great example over Twitter of how gamers can never be happy, as a population, when something new comes along. We (and I say we to be self-inclusive as I’ve definitely done this before) are more concerned about being more funny or pointing out a fault or defect that we are about embracing good news even if it’s not entirely perfect to our minds’ eyes. Today, I learned that there is a coffee bar opening in Toronto that is specifically trying to cater to the boardgame-playing crowd. The name of the establishment is “Snakes and Lattes.” A punny name, to be sure, but definitely cute and memorable. I tweeted out the news along with the name of the establishment and within minutes the first response I received was “Wouldn’t Chutes and Lattes have made more sense?” and then a Wikipedia-referencing pissing contest ensued as to the selection of “Snakes” versus “Chutes.” Not a single response was along the lines of, “Wow! What a great idea!” or “I wish there was one of these in my town.” Sometimes we are all curmudgeons addicted to being unsatisfied with our hobby. It needs to end.

  • My wife, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law are downstairs putting clothes on the rabbits. I'm living in a cuckoo clock. #
