Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

not your mom's socks.

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.

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?

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

I finally found out what comes after Professional. That's right, you are looking at a Penguin Slide Champion!

sorry, amych. I dunno what DSi is.

The Xbox RROD-ed. Woe.

And with houseguests on the way! We clearly need an emergency Xbox loaner program.
