I love my Das Keyboard, even though it was dumb to buy it. Don't bring it to work if you have an open floorplan, though, because holy moly even the quiet-ish keys are big-time loud.

Just finished the latest Thumbs episode, and I think it'd be pretty cool to set up a Twitch/Day Z event like this: Team Thumbs (Sean, Fire Extinguisher Psycho, et al) get extremely badass guns, pick a location, and defend an unarmed civilian who has a specific book in his inventory. There are a bunch of books already in the game, so it'd be tough to cheese it by searching down a random copy of Don Quixote or something. Going off of the multiple streamer idea, I figured there could be two ways to win. Either a player delivers the book to some pre-designated finish line, claiming a reward (steam keys or something) for himself, or a team delivers the book to a streamer and they protect him as he moves to the finish line and everyone (up to a certain number of people) gets something that's hopefully cooler than the greediness option. Everyone will know where the package originates, and everyone will potentially alt-tab to figure out where the various press guys are situated. I think it might make for some tense situations, but I dunno if there'd be too many moving parts.

Also, I started playing CK2 around the same time I noticed that Tom Fontana's Borgia: Faith and Fear was on Netflix. It's pretty much this game distilled into its very good sociopathic essence.

I'd be super down for a multiplayer game using this save if anyone's interested. The stream was cathartic for me and watching the Thumbs boys struggle with CK2 made up for me sitting in a dark room considering whether wifeslaying was cool or not cool to do.
