Yeah, there's a fine line between an invigorating challenge and beating your head against the wall.

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

What's the deal with Dungeons and Dragons? A Straight Dope classic.

move out and draw fire

Classic! Love this:

Here we have a game that combines the charm of a Pentagon briefing with the excitement of double-entry bookkeeping.

Pete's copy of Red Dead Redemption arrived. Any bets on how long it will take him to surface out of it?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Two days. Then out again for half a day and back for at least one more. I bet one Puppycat.

I will admit, it's very pretty. And ooh, the outfits of the upper-class ladies! Tiny hats! Snoods! Waistcoats!

So on aesthetics alone, I already like it better than GTA. (My opinion solely as someone who has adapted to having a video game on in the background.)

Hmm. Instead of shooting pigeons, like in GTA, you shoot rabbits. Clovis and I are unamused.

(I don't think that's really a spoiler, but I'll whitefont just to be safe.)
