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.

So Catwoman is going to be a playable character in Batman: Arkham City [link]

I wonder if you're going to be able to play co-op or just pick to play her or Batman solo.

I would have loved to be able to play co-op with Batman and Nightwing or Robin.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Um. Hello. Work has kept me super dark grey on the boards. BillyTea has twisted my arm, broken all my fingers one by one, and dislocated my shoulder in an attempt to get me to play the next round of BSG. OK, maybe I exagerate. He asked. I said yes.

Sadly, that means I skipped about 2500 posts.

But! In the interim time, I've started playing CivRev on the Xbox, (loving it), and completed Portal2 (Loving it more!).

Anyhow, hopefully work will calm down now that Summer Break is approaching. And give me a chance to hang out with y'all again. Wheee!

So? When do we draw lots of what character we pick?

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

You can just draw them the once if you want. I'm not a slavedriver, dammit! (I have a Corolla.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm ready when you are.

Our wings are not tired

I'm trying to decide if I have time to play. I'll be on a cruise ship for two weeks in July with spotty internet so that would slow things down.

Our guideline has been, "can you check in once a day?"

It's fun when we can all be here at the same time and the game moves quickly but it's not important to me.

We've dealt with that kind of thing before. We can work around it if you're ok with it.

move out and draw fire

I finally got Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, and they are eating my life.

Well, in addition to weekend D&D. One of the guy's has a GF who's now joined us, and she rocks, but most of the players are leaving to got overseas this summer. Wah!

My phone won't do contractions and I hate texty short cuts so I just sent this text-

Do you know when next you are free to game?

It's possible I've been playing RDR too much. Last night I realized I had forgoten to feed the dog and in my haste to the kitchen I pressed a big blue X in my mind.

Today my Kentucky Saddler had trouble cornering at high speed so I just bought myself a quarter horse to see if it's any better.

gasp oh my gosh! I just looked up in the rain and there are raindrops on the camera lens!
