move out and draw fire

We had a crappy Savage Worlds game Sunday. We are playing the Freeport Trilogy, which is awesome (Call of Cthulhu plus pirates by way of D&D), but we just totally brainlocked. And the dice failed us. I haven't had to put a die in the penalty box in a long time.

The Obama campaign is buying ads in video games

Take THAT, Jack Thompson!

I can't remember if I posted this here or not, but there's a social network for gamers: [link]

Pros: You can take quizzes.

Cons: It's all console gamers, and is basically a dating site / marketing research cover.

ION, Rock Band 2 has a LOT more clothes to buy, including a kilt.

I saw the SciFi channel look at Dead Space over the weekend. Apparently putting Ben Browder in an infommercial can at least temporarily make me want to buy anything, as I don't own an Xbox 360 (or any other electronic game device) and have never been interested in first person shooter games.

So, does anyone have recommendations for Nintendo DS games for nine-year-old girls?

Anybody here played Call of Cthulu? Any good? I have a friend in a campaign who insists it's right up my alley, and I am kinda jonesing for some kind of FRP, so I thought I'd ask those who might know.

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.

Frank- I only played CoC once, but from all the discussions I have with friends who are fans of the game the important thing to remember is don't get too attached to your character. He will either die (most-likely in thoroughly horrible way) or go insane. Period.
