When it comes to me I'd like tp play as conservatively as possible since I'm the only one out here in a viper and many of these cardsj can help us here.

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

We're now 2 off the DC, I have no problem finishing this if you'd like to pass. Unless by 'as conservatively as possible' you mean lowering the total.

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

Duke Nukem Forever is fully playable and will be released in 2010.

Brief commercial break:

For folks who remember Infocom, or more recent fans of IF, Get Lamp is a fun documentary about text adventures. [link]

I've been watching it in pieces all week. The DVD is a bit spendy, but the movie is about 2 hours, and there's a second disk with at least another hour of footage that didn't make the final cut, and extras, and several dozen recent IF games. And a shiny coin! It's clearly a labor of love and well worth the price if you liked those games.

One of the most interesting sequences to me is about how blind people loved those games, since they were accessible in a way traditional video games weren't -- although the whole "it's too dark to see" thing was a bit weird for blind players.

I guess the President didn't want to make a political statement, buy piling on or spiking the check. Who knew.

Fuel increases by one.

Raiders 3 & 4 move to sector 3.

Jump track advances to 3 (Blue -3), so if you want to jump, you can, at a cost to population.
