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

Sorry. With all the pick pocketing (and crazy work) I forget what cards I actually have right now to play.

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

Go to the start menu shortcut, right-click and select properties, then add the option to the "Target" command. Don't add it inside the quotes. I think that should work.

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

But then you'd have a sprained thumb.

My every two years computer upgrade didn't include anything to help games, well not directly anyway, I think the cross-platform titles have slowed down the push for new video hardware. It's nice since my current video card is the first three digit video card I've bought ($170 back then) and it's still going strong.

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

Starbuck will finish up the check.

With just 1 card from Helo and 1 card from Starbuck, is it enough to avoid... a crash landing? Let's see what we have:

Purple 3
Red 1
Red 5
Green 1

Tally: 9 - 1 = 8. Pass - no effect. Some hotshot flying sees the Admiral return safely.

For the rest of the card, the Cylon activation has no effect, and there is no jump icon. President Tigh, I'm sending your cards. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Move: I spend a G-1 and move to the President's Office.

Action: I use the President's Office to draw a Quorum card. I'll wait to see what it is before deciding how to finish my action.
