Just played Mario Kart online with NoiseDesign and dcp. It was fun.

Okay, so back to Fantasy Grounds, does it sound like 3 Full Licenses (MM, Sean, and Me), and 2 Lites would cover it? If I order them all together it's a total savings of about $43.

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

$43 saved is good. How much does that come to total then?

I think would cover everything. Especially since I have a Lite license on my old desktop I can uninstall and pass the key along, so we'd wind up with a third Lite license.

The total on that order is $124.63.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I played Mario Kart Wii last night. The wheel (Wiil?) sucks so much! It's really awkward to turn with any real control; you get much more sensitivity using just your thumb as opposed to both your damn arms.

Are the teams a new addition to the Battle Mode? I really sucked at Battle. There were so many people running about I was never able to score my own points. My team did all the work.

Also, I want to punch that squid in the face.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We've had actual humans over for Kart a couple of times now, and so far the opinion is infinity to one unanimous Wiil Sucks. The Wiimote on its own is just dandy and quite sensitive, otoh.

The FG talk is making me wistful about playing RPGs. I think I stopped playing about the time I actually got good at GM'ing.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

So who all is kicking in for the FG? Me, ND, Sean...

...I'm just trying to figure my share.
