I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

move out and draw fire

No, as far as I know that's not out yet. And while her system is OK, I'm not all that interested in paying for it, esp. since I have it as Serenity.

Basically we used the Savage Worlds rules, with optional fear rules, tweaked some of the psionic powers, and have been modding Cthulhu Now and similar for stories. The ritual magic has been the funky part to develop good rules for.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hee, that's neat. And also, holy crap, I loved Scorched Earth !! Major props for that one.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

curse you, Sox.

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

is the only difference between the Xbox 360 System & Xbox 360 Arcade the hard drive and $100? Just coming up with options in case they want to charge crazy dollars to repair mine.

Omnis, ND says yes, basically, but the arcade has only a wired contoller (but you already have a wireless, so that shouldn't matter) and comes with fewer games.

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

I got home to an empty house and therefore my first chance to try the wii. I started out feeling kind of dumb re: Metroid since I've never played it before but it's the only game we have so far so I persevered until I was really loving it. Being a ball rocks!.. until I got to the first puzzle I couldn't solve in ten tries and now I hate it.

We played Tigris & Euphrates tonight with sparky DH and it was awesome fun.

Oh dear.

So ND just set me up with an XBox Live account, which meant that my normal gamertag (Pixie) needed to be updated since it's long been taken online. XBox Live generated some...interesting...possibilities:

First, it provided variations on Pixie, such as:

  • TastelessPixie
  • Soluable Pixie
  • SpaceyPixie
  • ColossalPixie
  • BossyPixie
  • FolkloricPixie
  • VexedPixie
  • BourgeoisPixie
  • ManlikePixie

Then it just got weird.

  • UntenableSwine
  • UnivocalWhale
  • TalentedLeopard
  • SauciestGrain
  • WaterlessJeans
  • CluelessAnt
  • CelestialDuck
  • ProximateWeevil
  • AimelessEmu
  • WilierPants
  • InformalDwarf
  • SloshyCashew
  • SparkyTeacher (don't ask me how it knew)
  • TwirlyGroundhog
  • PertQuasar
  • NonprofitRug
  • MottledPuma
  • MuffledPython
  • SerratedCrayon
  • UnsavoryBus
  • AthleticMango
  • PigheadedWig
  • FoamingLettuce
  • PrelaunchAmoeba
  • BedsidePoem
  • UvealComa
  • FlusherCookie
  • BounciestFeline
  • ShellyAmpersand
  • SaucyNebula
  • VaguerDeer
  • StingiestRhyme
  • CyanoticLlama
  • RecalledOrphan
  • VigorousGnu
  • MustyBigfoot
  • ArduousCarcass
  • DactylicSquash
  • PerkyCroissant
  • MotivatedGibbon
  • CrispierPorpoise
  • IrateCheese

I don't even know how to pick my favorite. ND thinks that b.org should have a random name generator like this for newbies. I'm inclined to agree.
