omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

We've invested so much in DLC
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.

Download Content. In this case, the hundreds of songs that Harmonix has released since the game came out

playing the Beatles catalog might get me to fork out some cash.

I suspect this will be the case, as I think the Beatles game itself will ship with about 40 songs, and the rest of the catalog will be released in dribs and drabs as DLC.

OK, if I end up in the brig, let's brig Lee also, and then have a mini-game inside the brig. Charades, maybe.

Golly, I hope your boy isn't a toaster. Does this make him Admiral AND President??

OK, I'll go first: 2 words, 1 word = 3 syllables.

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

No, just Admiral. Roslin is still President. Being brigged strips you of the Admiral's title, but not of the Presidency.

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

how is Guitar Hero: World Tour?

I love it. And it does have DLC. We've even got a couple of Raconteurs songs. On the ther hand- we just bought Smash Hits and I'm unimpressed by it. Pretty crappy song selection, imo.

The time for action is over! Now is the time for senseless bickering! Marines, please escort... Oh, let's say Staff Sgt Adama to the Brig. Apollo is the new Admiral.

Finishing off the Crisis Card:

Cylon: Raiders. They move from Sector 1 to Sector 2.

Jump Prep: No.

President Roslin, your turn is about to begin. I'm sending you your card draw. When you are ready, please post your action.

I guess this means you aren't letting me out next round, huh (frmr) Admiral? Anyhow, welcome to the Brig. Seems we got a little party going on.
