RoboAirportRally

[dmaze]

Had gnibbles and another Thetan over last night for some quick gaming. gnibbles really wanted to play Citadels but that doesn't go so well with three, so I introduced them to RoboRally instead. They were suitably amused.

This all culminated in an airport run. Lanes need to stop moving around. It's really disconcerting to come out of the Callahan tunnel and say "okay, there used to be a ramp here but it's gone now, and so now it's dark and I'm on a narrow road in a construction zone with only half an idea of what I'm doing". The traffic flow inside the airport proper isn't that great, and I suspect at least some of it is permanent. Similar badness happened around Kenmore Square, where it's never been obvious which lanes go to Beacon Street, which ones don't, and why there's such a backup.

Next weekend for sure! Bring Citadels. <3 Also, RoboRally is fun! I'm glad you introduced it to us. :)

Kenmore Square is REALLY BAD right now. I know exactly the place you're talking about.

The lanes do shift, and you're the only one smart enough to know it.

Unless, of course, that other lane is imaginary, and is really parking, in which case... oh, hey, the light is green! Try not to die.

Um, yeah. There really should be guidance inside the intersection there. Madness.

I think the airport route has been constant for over two months.

By the way, if you're dropping someone off at Terminal A and squeamish about merging, just go around the loop once first. The Callahan -> Terminal A route is brutal.

You could sneak into the airport the back way from Maverick Square, although that doesn't avoid the airport loop's insanity.
