Oh well. Still, it's moot as I have no plans to play the game a second time. I only intend to play it through the first time up until the point that it does something to annoy or bore me.
You know, I thought Fallout 3 might be like that for me. Then I put over 100 hours in it (when I barely put over 60 in any game).
OTOH, I'm not an FPS player; I'm an obsessive RPGer with exploration tendencies, so that might be why. YMMV.

PS: I believe Helo's up to see if he wants to help Boomer out of the brig.
Okay, I sort of fell down the rabbit hole about Portal. I didn't even know the game HAD a director's commentary.
And I'd always wondered about the name "Chell."
So I found this and his related articles very interesting: [link]
Oh, wow, those are really interesting! And it definitely makes me think about the game in a new way. Cool.
The Scott Pilgrim game is available on Xbox Live now!

I have CO's from Helo! (gives stink eye to all those I *DON'T* have CO's from). Seems Helo has a bit of a crush on Boomer, and really wants to spring her from the pokie.

t guards move Boomer to a padded cell to reduce swoon-related injuries
Let me finish this. It's very likely I'd just have to discard this card anyway.

Let's just say my options were limited.
If you get sprung won't we have a crisis card? That could also use up cards.

We will indeed (hopefully with a jump icon). There's a fair chance I'll be able to play more cards (or have to discard); but there are also a lot of Crisis Cards that don't involve skill checks, or that have a skill check but with only YG positive.
On the assumption that we pass this from here (i.e. that no one spikes it), allow me to recommend:
1. If we get a skill check with Purple, Red and/or Blue positive (especially more than one of them), by all means leave some work for me. My cards are not as mighty as I'd like, but they are numerous.
2. If we get a crisis card with a discard option (like the Food or Water Shortages), I can discard cheaply.

I play no cards.
I hear Boomer's got people slipping her booze in the brig, so she's gettin' none of mine! ((Or rather, I know she said she got it, and I know she has to discard anyway, so.))
Obligatory!Ellen: That's not "booze" I'm hearing about, dear.
