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.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
and in the demo, an unlimited amount of the bat boomerang thingies.

My favorite attack is when Bats hangs upside-down from a gargoyle waiting for a goon to pass underneath and then snatches him up and wrings his neck.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Don't get the "Collector's Edition" Arkham Asylum: [link]

D loves his cheap plastic batarang. He moved Spider-Man, Optimus Prime and Jay (as in & Silent Bob) to make it the centerpiece of our entertainment-center-top display.

That's not just the demo. Pretty much his whole arsenal is unlimited which is a smart play decision because having to traipse across the map to pick up supplies at the batmobile would be pretty bloody annoying.

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

Roslinbot, you may finish up the check. Do you wish to play 1 card or pass?

Look at that, 1 card of each colour. Anyway:
Tally: 7 - 3 = 4. Fail. You have been tracked! A basestar appears in Sector 1; two civilian ships huddle at the rear of Galactica in Sector 4.
That concludes Roslinbot's turn. Dr Baltar's turn is about to begin.
