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

Apollo has activated the Admiral's Quarters to attempt to brig Roslin (7GP). We will pause for interrupts (Investigative Committee or Scientific Research). Everyone, please post or pass on interrupts. (You have 12 hours.)

When it comes time for the skill check, President Roslin will play first and Admiral Adama will play last. Baltar and Boomer, because you are in the Brig, you may only play a maximum of 1 card into the skill check. You may still play interrupts.

You could always challenge Pete to Burnout Revenge. It's his Achilles Heel of video games.

James used to work at WotC when I did; he left during the First Great Purge to found Cheapass. (It's been rebranded to "James Earnest Games" now; it was hard to get big chain stores to carry something with the word "ass" in the company name.)

I like his stuff. :)

Just for an FYI: Adama played a G2 to XO Apollo.

Hey McNasty - M wants to know if we're up for gaming Sunday.

How sad is it that I live with the guy and yet we haven't talked in like 2 days?

Admiral Adama, as long as you're here do you play any interrupts?

has anyone heard of Cheap Ass Games?

That would be James Earnest...

Yup, worked with him, sometimes see him at poker night at the Foglio's. He is one sharp-witted sarcastic s.o.b. and I find him very good company.

Many of his games are good silly fun. "Gimme the Brain" is especially silly as it's a bunch of zombies working a fast-food joint in hell, and there's only one brain to share between them. The follow up to it was called "Lord of the Fries". Quality stuff.
