No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

x-post with bitches:

I have been informed this morning by the house urchin that today is the Best Day Ever. And tomorrow and Sunday might rank up there too.

Buffista sprog DC edition f2f in t-12 hours. Mal and Iris would like to apologize in advance for any temporal rifts that occur.

Also, (and this is why this is in games) - Iris says that if Mal wants to play in Monkey Party, he needs to get some pink in his wardrobe. Or Hello Kitty.

Alas, Mal seems to have lost all interest in playing Rock Band. He is now fully dedicated to Lego Star Wars and Fable II (he like to believe he's playing the dog).

I'm sure Iris' presence will alter this, though.

I gave up on my Supernatural band for Rock Band, as I really couldn't get any avatars to look like Sam or Dean or esp. Bobby.

I do have Venture Industries (Brock Samson, Rusty Venture, and Hank and Dean) and The Guild of Calamitous Intent (Dr. Girlfriend, The Monarch, Baron Unterbite, and Magic 8 Ball)

I do have a Fable II question: Is there any benefit to marrying? What about marrying multiple times? Does it matter who you marry? I seem to be engaged or almost engaged to a handful of people.

is Mal playing Braid at all? Iris is a fan.

also - I suspect that what Mal likes will alter Iris' tastes just as much. Though she won't let him know that.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I got Dead Space. Bad mistake. I lasted 10 minutes before I had to turn it off. I don't cope well with fear of (virtual) death.

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

Isn't that fear inherent in, er, most games?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Yes. I'm very bad at games for that reason. I even stopped playing Fallout 3 because I kept dying.

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

For those interested. April Wired magazine has a story on the Settlers of Cataan game. If any xbox players wanna play, let me know. Same handle here and in Live.

Also, for iPhone 2.2.1 users, the card game Set. One player only so far.

The Cherry Blossom Festival included Ra, Tigris and Euphrates, Kingdoms, and Betrayal at House on the Hill. Good stuff.

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