It's so hard to decide what to do when there are no enemy ships in the sky.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Anyone else playing Batman: Arkham Origins? I'm enjoying it, bugs aside, and I'm appreciating the nods to "Batman: Year One" (and one Easter Egg nod to "Mask of the Phantasm") and the fact that Gotham isn't completely familiar with Batman yet. (You're just as likely to get a "What the hell is that?" as an "It's the Bat!" response when criminals spot you. Though one that made me laugh was dropping on some criminal's head and his buddy screaming "See, I told you he was real!" while scurrying for cover.)

I'm not sure why they felt the need to recast the Batman and Joker "to make them sound younger" and then have the VAs do their best Conroy and Hamill impressions. (Well, Batman sounds Conroy-esque when speaking normally, but descends into Bale-ville when he's trying to be intimidating. The Joker sounds so much like Hamill's version I would have assumed it was him if I hadn't known he had retired from voicing the character.)

Today has been totally crazy. I hope to have a calm moment this evening at some point to work out my move.

While we wait, one item from last turn: Helo launched in an assault raptor.

I haven't played Year One but I did overhear D commenting that whoever is voicing the Joker is totally channeling Hamill.

Okay, sorry for the delay. I'm at a loss for what needs doing. There isn't even anything for me to repair. I could go to research to draw some more cards, but I'm already over my hand limit. Any thoughts?

I always advise Treatment! I would certainly appreciate it, as would Baltar. Then again, more cards for you to discard, but you may pick up better ones.
