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.
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.
BSG (Doc)
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.

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.

Reminder to put orders in bold. Cards sent. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please let me know which cards to pass to Roslin.
BSG
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.
BSG (Roslin)
Um...good luck with that die roll, Doc.
BSG
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.

I'm in a good spot for a future XO should we find ourselves under attack but we could sure use some more food, perhaps the Quorum could help.
So I will not move and play xo-1 on Madame President.
BSG (Roslin)
All right, I don't even know how many of those damn Food cards are in the deck, but at least I'm building up a good hand for other emergencies. I discard Repair-1 and CP-1 to activate PO.

I just want to note that we have no one on Galactica, so it might be good to station someone in Command or Comms or something, especially because Pegasus tends to take the damage and we don't want half our crew ending up in Sickbay.
