"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Heh... my boyfriend and I are struggling with that too. Fortunately I managed to finish Dragon Age: Origins today before he got home, so he can have time with Red Dead Redemption.

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

Foul lies! I played it for 9 hours on Tuesday and then was on it for half an hour on Wednesday, and that was just to fail continuously at entering my freebie code because the servers are overwhelmed.

Fun game. I'm taking it reaaaaaally slow to completely soak it all in.

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.

Board game store at the mall was having a moving sale. Scored BSG and Pegasus together for $46 plus tax.

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

Sweet deal!

Speaking of, I could be game for BSG in here in a few weeks. Anyone else?

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

I'd be in for it.

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

Are you volunteering to GM, omnis?

I'd be in for playing BSG again.

I recently realized that while I'd wanted to start running a D&D game in May or June, and May's almost over, the basement's still a wreck and I haven't worked on any of the campaign material since January. This doesn't bode well for my ability to find the time to do the DM-work between sessions if I do manage to get the game started.

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

I beat Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 this weekend. I died a lot, and there were some really awesome parts of the game, but I felt a little disappointed after all the hype. I don't think I felt the visceral HOLY CRAP THIS GAME RULES as much as I did in the first game. Although, like they say, that airport level still haunts me.
