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

I guess it's true, all the good ones really are taken...

Or, y'know, insane. Especially since he's currently in an online game of the latest Ameritrash darling. Risk isn't just a bad game, it's a bad Ameritrash game.

move out and draw fire

You wouldn't believe how much railing against Ameritrash games I hear weekly. But "insane" is possible also.

I'm contemplating my BSG choice, and welcome input. I'm also really excited for The Beatles Rock Band. The art is GREAT. [link]

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

The Beatles Rock Band

*blinks* Oh. Emm. Gee.

I learned to sing singing along with my dad's Beatles records growing. This may be one of the awesomest ever.

While I love the Beatles, I just can't play Rock Band and Guitar Hero. The GUI messes with my eyestrain BADLY.

However, that cinematic was GLORIOUS.

Oh my. I've been holding out on Rock Band. I think I just found the excuse to buy it. Me LUVS Beatles!

With the Admiral choice out there, I'm not sure of the long term consequences of each to give good advice. I'd lean towards avoiding the combat, but that could be my own personal pacifist tendencies.

Given that, picking a viper pilot was an interesting choice. I may have to design some Skill Cards which offer a "Can't we all just get along?" action.

Ahem, Boomer is a RAPTOR pilot. IJS.

A raptor pilot who so far has done considerably more in the way of shooting and blowing stuff up than your CAG has managed.

Ok, I should amend that a little. I think you've both managed to blow up exactly one craft. You got a basestar, he got his own viper. That's sort of even.
