pfffffffff... I am very afraid of that... there is a certain group of persons i don't tolerate at ALL;does who say Help!, all you need is love, and a hard days night are the best Beatles songs. They claim that they love and know the Beatles, so why are this are there favorite songs? I'm 19, but I grew up with all of their records (both vinyls and CD versions) and still listen to them daily. I know the game didn't screw up at all The Beatles, i'm just afraid that this immense group of people don't screw it up :'( ... I really do :( .
I totally agree with you dude... but I'm still afraid and I bet that deep inside you are too.

Just finished all the videos. Lots of fun info there, though he doesn't say anything about the greatness that is Ticket to Ride. This is all getting me so excited, I hope I have that loan money in time to get a box set and the game.
I hope people will give the game a chance, and become fans. I find it silly to be afraid of something you like becoming popular and having all those "bandwagon posers" or whatever. I want to share my knowledge with newcomers, and I hope I'll get the chance.
