Skyrim is quite possibly the greatest computer/console RPG in the history of anything. I used to play, until I took an arrow to the knee.

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

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

Hey, Starbuck, would visiting Cally be a good idea?
I heard she had a fight with Chief last night, and is still fuming.

All the more intriguing. So? Is it one of those games where you need to hit xxxyxyab to make the hit the fells the beast? Because those types of games, I fail at miserably.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ok, I'll leave her be. Thanks for the tip.
Hm, I don't seem to have anywhere pressing to be, and Laura is looking a little wan over there. I'll try playing a PP to protect our food supply and give the President the Treatment. 2 green please.

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

I'm playing on a PS3 and I do use all my buttons but you use one button or a simple combination of buttons to do almost everything, and the in-game tutorial adds abilities at what I found to be a very learnable rate. It's a bit more complex if you are a magic user or use stealth a lot but it's not having to press circle-square-triangle while moving your directional stick in a clockwise circle type complex, more like having to equip the spell you want to use in advance and then remembering where you mapped it, or remembering to sneak before trying to sneak attack or pickpocket someone.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Reminder to put orders in bold. Cards sent. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please let me know which cards to pass to Roslin.

Going to make this quick. Cards passed to Roslin. Time now for Cottle's crisis, which is:
Cylon Genocide
Current Player's Choice
Easy to suggest genocidin' them when they're not around. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please post your choice.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
BSG (Roslin)
Um...good luck with that die roll, Doc.

Cottle thanks you for your concern, and does indeed choose option 2. He drops a Strategic Planning 4 on the roll.
Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. Pass! Cottle remains at large! Cylons remain ungenocided!
Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cottle's turn. Adama's cards are going out. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
