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

I have COs from Apollo, Boomer and Adama:

Cylon Accusation
10 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Roslin: No cards
Baltar: No cards
Apollo: 1 card
Boomer: 1 card
Adama: 3 cards

Sadly, I don't have the card details on me (I need to double-check the Destiny Deck's contribution), so I will leave you all in suspense. Can Adama escape the same Brig to which he consigned the Fleet's political leadership? Tune in next week to find out. (In 6 hours at least.)

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

That's quite the upset.

Ok, I'm back home now. Let's see what this Skill Check produces:

Cylon Accusation
10 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Roslin: No cards
Baltar: No cards
Apollo: 1 card
Boomer: 1 card
Adama: 3 cards

Cards:
Yellow 4
Green 5
Purple 1
Purple 1
Purple 2
Red 2
Blue 3

Tally: 13 - 5 = 8. Fail.

You have failed this Skill Check by 2 points. That means that a Declare Emergency interrupt may be played to lower the difficulty by 2, in which case you will pass after all. We will pause for twelve hours for everyone to play or pass on a DE (except Boomer, who's never drawn Green).

These are baseless attacks against my father! He is not a cylon! This is madness! We must not succumb to this mass hysteria! If you listen to fools the mob rules! Can't we all just get along??!!??

However, I have no cards to prevent this from happening...

If you didn't get penalized for hitting the bass pedal unnecessarily I'd be a Guitar Hero drumming god.

On the other hand, if I, didn't get penalized for randomly hitting my bass player, I'd be a Rock Band drumming god.

But otherwise, how is Guitar Hero: World Tour? Raq and I started with GHIII, but moved to Rock Band and have stayed with that franchise ever since. We've invested so much in DLC that I doubt we'll ever switch, but there are a few things wrong with RB2 (especially with how little control you have have over your own playlist on tour).

Ha, I was wondering what that was.

Um, what's DLC?

So far, I only have a few of the Guitar Hero games. None of the full band things. Although, playing the Beatles catalog might get me to fork out some cash.
