Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So am I!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Found you.

move out and draw fire

To the list of "Things Raq is No Longer Allowed to Do" we can add "play evil characters."

I'd been skating on thin ice for a bit...for example, the GM described the kobolds as "obsequious to the point of being...(pause to find right word)" and I offered "...arousing."

But I think what really tore it was when my evil character asked the paladin what her safe word was. While she was paralyzed.

Coding and Sleeping

I've played a bit of Dragon Age now and I'm liking it. It does have a real BG2 feel with the pause and issue orders model of fighting. I'm playing on normal and I'm finding that I have to really think out strategy in the fights were there are around a dozen opponents.

Except for the fact that I don't use my Rock Band guitar anymore since I got the Beatles' George Harrison one (and the MadCatz bass), and except for the fact that I think Rock Band may have jumped the shark, I want lots of these: [link]

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

Ok, I've finished my studies for the year, time to inquire: anyone up for another round of Battlestar Galactica? You can say yes, there's no shame in it. Unless you XO a Cylon.

I can't promise that... what if I am a cylon!?
