This is the first game where everyone is playing our own gender.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

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

Update: we're almost ready. Once we finalise the starting card draws, the Flight of the Battlestar Buffistica 3 will begin.
Another detail: Apollo starts the game in a viper, and has the choice of either Sector 5 or Sector 6. He has chosen Sector 5.

President Zarek begins in Administration, on Colonial One. I'll provide a full summary of the starting set-up before Apollo's turn.

Oh, I'll just save it up for the next game... or maybe Xbox Live.
Here's a link to an in-engine trailer for the new Halo out next year. It is very damn pretty. [link]

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.
Very cool.

Hey Team (assumed all) Humans. I'm thinking an XO here for someone to fire on that humping double Y ship. What do we think? I wish it could be Helo, so when his turn comes up, he can stay there and get that cool reroll ability if he shoots a blank the first time.
