Yes, but that was taken from him rather than being a genetic issue.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm not much of a video-gamer (except for flight sims) but I'm gotta get this when it comes out: [link]
Pinging quietly on my radar for some months and now finally shown off in gloriously overblown video form: UK indie Positech's forthcoming PC game Gratuitous Space Battles, which may be the new best thing to happen in operatic chaos since, what, Homeworld?
eta: from the game site:
GSB is the next game from UK developer 'Positech Games'. It's a strategy / management / simulation game that does away with all the base building and delays and gets straight to the meat and potatoes of science-fiction games : The big space battles fought by huge spaceships with tons of laser beams and things going 'zap!', 'ka-boom!' and 'ka-pow!'. In GSB you put your ships together from modular components, arrange them into fleets, give your ships orders of engagement and then hope they emerge victorious from battle (or at least blow to bits in aesthetically pleasing ways).
Gratuitous Space Battles aims to bring the over-the-top explodiness back into space games. The game is for everyone who has watched big space armadas battle it out on TV and thought to themselves 'I could have done a much better job as admiral'. This is not a game of real-time arcade twitch reflexes. GSB is about what ships you design, and what you tell them to do. Your individual ship commanders have total autonomy during the chaotic battle that unfolds. This is not a tactical game, it is a strategic one. These gratuitous space battles are not won by plucky heroes with perfect teeth, but by the geeky starship builders who know exactly what ratio of plasma-cannons to engines each ship in the fleet will need.

I need ideas here. I'm going to another game night. It seems this host is leaving the notion of what game to play up in the air, and says this:
Theme for this Games Night: HOT SUMMER NIGHTS. Bring games that have something to do with fire.Any ideas? I'm guessing board or card games only. No video games.
