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

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

OK I will not move and play CS-3 to use my Panic Mutiny card.
got some questions for the GM so the rest of my turn will have to wait till I get home from work.

Athena can draw Green. I haven't paid attention as to whether she has.
Well, I know I wasn't trying to put myself in Sickbay, so while Romo mutinies I will examine the evidence and see if I can deduce anything further...

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.
Is anybody else playing The Stick of Truth ?
My general distaste for all things South Park drives me to avoid it, unfortunately. I'm sure I'd get a kick out of it otherwise.
I have started replaying Dragon Age with the idea of putting together an "official" run through of that plus the DLC and then finally playing my way through 2 in preparation of Inquisition coming out later this year.

Stick of Truth is as distasteful as anything they have ever done. Unfortunately it is also as clever. It's already made my top 5 all time favorites list and is vying with Red Dead Redemption (another game I love despite how tasteless it is) for the #2 spot ( DDO is still my all time favorite game).

That's the disappointing thing for me with South Park. The creators are obviously very clever and funny and can create some brilliant satire. Unfortunately they're also obsessed with toilet humor and being offensive for its own sake.
A perfect example for me was they made an episode years ago that lampooned anime that I found (as an anime fan) absolutely hysterical, until some poor kid lost his eye and was dumped in a dog pound alone, where the dogs proceeded to pee on him. I had to leave the room my friends were watching the show in literally shaking with anger and revulsion.

Thrive to spite them
A couple people at work have Stick of Truth and really like it. Cnet gave it an amazing review and said that in terms of game play it's like an old school RPG with the turn bases and needing to have the right equipment and clothes and that it ties into the series really well.
But it's South Park, which I liked when it first came out and then it's steadily gotten to the point where I couldn't enjoy it. Although not as bad as Family Guy which I just...I can't.

Romo shares his Panic with the fleet! That drops another civvie in Sector 4. Romo may then activate an RSV. Sector 4's getting a bit crowded now, better make some room. Romo moves an RSV from Sector 4 to Sector 3.
Now for his regular action. I have orders from Romo:
Reveal Loyalty card: YOU ARE A CYLON
It should've been obvious, really. "Romo" was actually an acronym, "Rise Of the Machine Order". Morale falls by 1 as Romo destroys the previously spotless reputation of laywers everywhere! Keeping it all in the political family, he passes his other loyalty card to Apollo. He then moves to the Resurrection Ship, there to discard down to 3 cards and receive a Super Crisis.
That concludes Romo's turn. Hot Dog's cards are going out. Hot Dog, once Romo has posted his discards, please post your move and action.
