billytea, I'd be interested, but have never played or own the game, so very much clueless. But I am always up for learning/playing a new game.
For people who are interested but don't have the game, the rules are available for download here: [link] This is a reasonable place to start. I also have a simpler summary if anyone would like a look. Just email me.
if you log in at least once a day it's probably workable.
I log on at least twice a day!
I finally have enough brutes created that I'm no longer running out of fights and having to create new brutes to fight more. I'm astonished at the people who came up with the same names I did. Already taken were Chanandler Bong, Ms Chanandler Bong, Ms. Chanandler Bong, Harmoninny Granger (I made mine Grater), Jack's Merkin Revenge (I made Jax Merkin), Le Lezard Volente (I dropped the 'e' on the end)... I know there are more. It's scary how many people think the same way I do.

Cool. Given the game coordinator is in a different time zone from the rest of you, I suspect you won't be the biggest time disruption.
So at the moment for a BSG game I think we have Sean, Raq, Laga and Omnis Audis. Maybe Raq's husband too. Is that right?
Next question, is there anyone who wants to raise an objection to us using this forum to run the game?
There is a nice video on the game at that site BillyTea linked to: [link]
What kind of store has this in stock? Does it come with the book, or is that a separate purchase? Is the book needed?
has anyone heard of/played Mirror's Edge for the Xbox? Co-worker was talking about it, said it was the bomb.
omnis, I've played it. It's pretty fun and challenging but very repetitive. It doesn't ever seem to realize its full potential.
Also, Omnis, it may cause motion sickness. It's first person perspective and the character done a lot of acrobatic leaps and rolls.
Search on Kotaku or YouTube. You'll find plenty of video.

It should be available in games stores. It's also available through online distributors, such as Amazon (don't forget to use the Buffista link) or Thought Hammer Games [link] The rule book comes with the game. There are also some useful files (game summaries, player aids, that kind of thing) here: [link]
I tried the demo from xbox live. Took forever to d/l. Cool game, horrible controls. If I see it used at the store for cheap, maybe.
