GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

Ooh! Ooh! I can help with the skill check! Go skill check. Choose skill check!

Or maybe you should discard a bunch of cards. I promise I won't try to escape the Brig next turn, so it's not like you will need them. When have I lied to you?

BSG

Yeah, as much as I hate to ask someone human to lose 4 cards, it's the only real option. The die roll is just too much risk.

I am only up at this horrifying time because I have to drive Jilli to a radio interview. Ah, the high life with appropriate levels of sleep dep.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

BSG

I'm loathe to suggest it, but - option 2 is best, IMO.

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

BSG

If I still had the once per turn re-roll ability, I might have gone with the die, but that was used by Drunken Sailor to shoot down the heavy raider.

I choose Option 2. Please tell me what my cards are after the random pick-pocketing to save humanity.

Admiral Starbuck, (grimace) since you'll be deciding our destination when we jump, I hope you get a Tylium Planet or a Cylon Refinery. If not, we are done.

Damn, I wish there'd been time for another scouting mission.

Good to know what to look for. Good job getting out of the brig, Saul. Took you long enough.

move out and draw fire

Oh dear. You could almost have bought a 360 for that.

But then you'd have a sprained thumb.

I beg to interrupt your gameplay to ask for cheat help. I've got Dungeon Siege on this machine, but when I open it it takes the whole screen. I found a cheat that says

Begin your game with the "dungeon siegedungeonsiege.exe" fullscreen=false command.

How do I implement this when I go to Start/Programs to start the game?

edit: Actually, it's

Begin your game with the " < drive and folder path > dungeon siege dungeonsiege.exe" fullscreen=false command.

(damned fussy html)

Or should I be going to Start and Run to do this?

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

BSG

Help has chosen Option 2. Help, you discard the following cards:

Green 1
Green 2
Purple 1
Red 1

next, the raiders activate; but before they can threaten the civilians, the fleet jumps on 1 Fuel! Will this end the game? Admiral Starbuck, I'm sending you a choice of destinations. When you're ready please post your choice.
