Profile email is good, billytea.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Anything for a weird life.
This is a question to a specific person but I'd feel odd sending it as an email or anything, so I figure this is as good a place as any:
Pete (Husband of Jilli), do you play Magic, and if so, do you have a self-themed deck with Unhinged cards like this one? [link]

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Finally got caught up here. Being able to tear through the BSG game posts in about the speed the game would be played tabletop was pretty cool. That was some high drama (and some nice wise-cracking from both teams as well) in that game.
ION, I've finally been playing Dragon Age: Origins (I bought it when it first came out, but never took the time to sit down and play it.) Beat it once with an elf mage (and I love how your character's race/class has an effect on how some people treat you) and I'm playing through again with a human rogue, making some different choices. Also trying to use some different characters in my party for the banter/reactions to different NPCs.
Also decided to emotionally harden a couple of the characters the second time around after finding out it could be done to see what the difference is, but I felt like a complete jerk-face doing it. Especially with Leiliana Just having to say something callous to the one character wasn't so bad. But have to sit there and be emotionally manipulative with the other made me literally cringe.

Red Dead Redemption
I said, "I wish John Marston wasn't so much dumber than me."
F said, "Yeah but can you shoot like him?"
You know the mission where the guys says he'll trade you Zhou for a white stallion? After he rode away I quick climbed the ladder to the roof of my adobe, got out my sniper rifle and picked him off when he was just out of range. In the morning I whistled for my hungarian half bred and he came. It cost me 50 honor but it felt so good.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yep, that was a pretty exciting one. You are of course welcome to join in the next game too. (I have an exam on June 10, at the moment I'm thinking it'll start after that.)

A while back, I supplied the following quote from a BSG game on boardgamegeek:
I can't be a rainbow princess if my horsey smells like the grave!
That same player has now provided this vignette:
This administration DOES NOT tolerate Care Bear vigilantism! The perpetrators of this death by love will be caught and hung!
This is one of the strangest games I've read.
