I've been around since November, but I have been too lazy to properly introduce myself on this thread until now...I've never been good at talking about myself.
I became enamored with board games early last year after buying RISK: Metal Gear Solid. I wanted something safe and fun that I could do with friends at home, and I don't have a video game console anymore (sold my PS2 a couple years ago, but I plan to buy a new console next year at the latest). Soon after the purchase I began looking into other board games that may interest me. I wanted something that will last; something thematic; something that isn't too complicated so all types of friends can get into it; but I also didn't want something too simple. That's when I discovered Last Night on Earth during a google binge. It was perfect! I love all kinds of zombie-related content -- books, games, tv, movies, etc., -- so this game seemed to be just what I needed! (pun) I loved its well-executed theme, as well as its gameplay mechanics. But what really sold me was the fact that it had all these expansion packs! It showed me that there was a huge fan base for this game and continued support from the company. An excellent sign of quality. Ordered it not long after. Once I got it I wanted to continue talking about it, and that led me here.
The rest is history. I'll be receiving the Growing Hunger expansion in about a week.
