Oh that's right, I forgot about the sympathizer card.
I'm sorry, I'm still deciding about my ability. I told Omnis I would use my power to increase the difficulty but now I'm having second thoughts.
Would it be possible for people to change their minds about playing cards? I don't want to make people waste cards but I have a bad feeling about letting Boomer out of the pokey.

I think you need to do whatever you think makes sense, but no one has said anything that would convince me to change my COs.
(Note: I'm not dismissing your feeling about this, as I have a separate one all my own, but I would need more than that to change going with the odds on this one.)

I would probably feel differently if I hadn't previously been Boomer and a cylon. I was just itching to get out of the brig so I could play my super crisis card.

As much as "I've got a bad feeling about this" I can't stand the idea of humans making other humans spend precious cards. I REVERSE my previous COs and let me talk to this judge I know reduce the difficulty by 2.
Re: Fallout 3
Funily enough, Sean, I'm playing it at the moment too, but on the PS3. A friend lent it to me and I've been peppering my late evenings with it.
How different our game experiences must be just based on any given direction we take is a fascinating thing. Problem is, by the time we could both talk about it and not risk spoilers we'd have forgotten a thousand little details.
FYI, in the perks I took three levels of Fast Learner to really ramp up that XP gain.
Fallout 3 is on my list of games I really need to play through.
Oh ND, you should just scrap that list, and just enjoy your Starcraft. You'd need a clone to get through your wish list.
And as much as I'm looking forward to Halo: Reach, I'm actually more eager for Brink. Take note the front page loads and auto-runs one of their vids. It is well worth watching, FYI.
The game features a great acronym; SMART which stands for Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain. What that means is that the game involves a lot of parkour like obstacle tackling while in gunfights.
But beyond that, there is the objective creation system which gives you mini-missions that can help your side. They can vary from healing teammates to finding a downed opponent who can be interrogated. It's a pretty cool system and I recommend you check out all the vids in the link above.
Starcraft is one of my true loves in video games. I was planning to play it some over the weekend, and instead I stayed in the hospital. If all goes well I'll get some time to play it this coming weekend.
Fallout 3 is huge. It's kind of mind numbing, at first. My first go through didn't last, but this one has. Even the guide book I got to help menplumb the depths is only semi-helpful, and vie mostly been using it for item location. Even then, it's a poorly cross-referenced morass.
And I have the GotY edition too, so this will be entertaining me in my free moments for a while.

Looks the President has flip flopped again. But, we have a directive. We have enabled FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES, and have made the escape EASIER!
Alas, I don't have the Destiny Deck draw here at work. When I get home, I'll post the start of the check.
