Pete (or anybody w/an Xbox 360)...what wireless adapter do you have?

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

BSG

get Boomer out. She's still been helpful. You'd think if she was a Cylon she would have found a way to bust herself out by now.

I agree with the president but I need Zarek on my side too or it'll be a waste of cards trying to get me out. I can only play one card on a brig check, right?

Pete (or anybody w/an Xbox 360)...what wireless adapter do you have?

I have an ethernet cable run from the machine to an Airport Express plugged in at the near power socket. This is presumably not much use to you.

There is some spot on xbox.com which states which wireless adapters will play nice with the 360. Ultimately, my best advice to you is to not buy the official 360 adapter as it is woefully overpriced for what it is.

move out and draw fire

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

BSG

Helo left me COs in the event that he is XO'd. Look at that, people! COs, just in case. No waiting! DID YOU EVER KNOOOOW THAT YOU'RE MY HEEEEELO...

Ahem. Anyway, his COs are:

Action 1: Activate Weapons Control to fire on the basestar in Sector 1. Play an SP-3 on the roll.

Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. Hit! Result: Disabled Weapons.

This basestar will no longer be firing at Galactica.

Action 2: Activate Weapons Control to fire on the same basestar again. No interrupts.

Here I will pause to see if anyone else wants to play an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

The Admiral contributes an SP-3 on Helo's second shot. (While I think of it, Adama's XO was an XO-1.)

Die roll: 3 + 2 = 5. Hit! (Just.) Result: Critical Hit! The basestar in Sector 1 is destroyed.

You destroyed my basestar. Meanies. Hey, have you ever noticed how, whenever you guys blow up a basestar, it seems another one arrives almost immediately? I'm sure it's just a coincidence. In unrelated news, Adama's Crisis is:

Boarding Parties
Cylon Attack

BSG

Oh wait, Zarek is the president. You can reduce the brig check difficulty, DQ. I'm up next & if you guys let me out of here I've got some repair cards and some piloting cards. I haven't had the chance to blow one enemy out of the sky yet this game. What do y'all say, can I come out and play?

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

BSG

Nice shooting Helo!

Boomer, you know piloting a ship against a Basestar will be risky at best. You gotta score a perfect shot.

Before I got the U-verse, I had the Xbox connected to a Apple Airport Express. It gave N speed for the xbox, and offered an audio port for iTunes to play through. But now I have U-verse, so the router is right at the TV, so, hard wired now. But the Microsoft lil USB thing was about the same price, and only works with the Xbox. The Airport Extreme is useful in many other ways.
