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

The fix is in. I have COs from the other players:

Destiny: 2 cards
Boomer: no cards
Apollo: 1 card
Helo: 1 card
Zarek: 1 card
Adama: 2 cards

Results:

Yellow 2
Green 1
Green 2
Green 2
Green 3
Green 4
Purple 1

Tally: 15 - 0 = 15. Pass - no effect.

Finally, the jump prep track advances by 1.

That concludes Adama's turn. Boomer, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your action.

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

Super Mario Galaxy 2 to be released on May 23.

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

Emeline is playing Lego Star Wars II. She insists on kicking the ever-lovin' shit out of C-3PO. Just walkin' up and whackin' him til he falls apart.

Obviously, we need to have a talk about tolerance for gay robots.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time to play EVERYBODY'S (especially Pete's) favorite game - British or Gay?

Portal Xbox360 question. I'm having trouble with Testchamber 15. Middle area. Big energy wall. It says to shoot a portal way up high, then go in little room to the side, and shoot one down there, and jump in it, then make a portal as you land, and momentum next time around will carry you over the wall. I'm not having any luck with that. Any tips/tricks? Or do I just need to frak it up a million times until I fall/open a portal right?

I sense a BSG retheme.

Omnis - fall through the portal once as a test run, to check orientation. One end of the blue oval will drop you through upside down, the other drops you through right side up. Once you've determined which end of the oval drops you through right side up, sneak up to that edge as close as you can without falling through, then adjust your view so that you are looking straight down at your (invisible) feet. Now step foreward and fall into the portal. When you drop out of the orange portal high on the wall, your portal gun will already be pointed at the floor more or less where you're going to hit it. And by all means, get blue-trigger happy on the way down. It does take a bit to get the hang of it, but once you do, you should be able to master that trick.
