Administrative note: the skill check exhausted the Destiny Deck. I've created a new one. This in turn exhausted the Politics deck; I've reshuffled the discards.
Roslinbot's turn. She has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Blue, and take the following action:
Move to Caprica
Draw two Crisis Cards; play one.
Roslinbot, I am sending you your card draw and choice of Crisis Cards. When you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG
Roslinbot's choice is:
Cylon Tracking Device
Skill Check (10 PRB)
We will pause for interrupts. As Blue is already positive, the only relevant interrupts is an Investigative Committee, and thus we only need Dr Baltar to pass or play.
The discarded Crisis Card was:
Water Shortage - E
President's Choice
BSG
Aw, a President's choice, and I didn't get to be all Presidential.
Fellow humans, I'm afraid I can't help at all on this one.
I'm sorry, I'm salivating over Arkham Asylum. Tycho's comment on Penny Arcade only makes me want it more:
I'm starving for more Batman: Arkham Asylum, as last night's excursion (incursion?) was cut short by the action of my "Night Time" cold medication. Things got progressively more surreal until I was blacking out, losing time between scenes and waking up in places unfamiliar. It was actually very convincing; maybe I should do it again tonight.
I'm sorry, I'm salivating over Arkham Asylum. Tycho's comment on Penny Arcade only makes me want it more:
Trust me, salivating is only reasonable. I snuck in a few hours gameplay after work, and it's really immersive.
BSG
no interrupts from Baltar.
re: Arkham. I haven't even played it but I'm finding it fascinating to watch. Batman has the most diverse arsenal of attacks I've ever seen.
and in the demo, an unlimited amount of the bat boomerang thingies.
