Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Eeeexcellent. Do we want to do player order and character selection now? We should then be set to get underway with the first turn next week.

Things are kinda crazed around here with seminar and show, I won't have time to prep the file and figure it out in the next few days. Maybe Sunday between shows?? Not sure.

We could still sort out player order and character selection before you have to set up the file. Then we'll be ready to start as soon as you are.

Hey--I know I haven't logged in in awhile. Kalshane said you were starting another game--mind if I join in, if you have room?

If not, totally cool.

By all means, you'd make the sixth player. Full table!

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

People make maps in Team Fortress 2 specifically for grinding achievements. Bleak, joyless rooms of endlessly spawning bots and resupply crates, where people don’t play the game, they game it. But in one of these, achievement_all_v4, the author’s added a surprise. A violent, horrific, hilarious surprise of biblical proportions. Here’s a clip.

Sweet! A full cast. Yeah, if y'all want to determine player order and characters while I slave away, I can compile and get the file going Sunday. I think next week I'll take my furlough days, so plenty of time to get this party jumping.
