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.

The Scott Pilgrim game is half price (400 points aka $5) on Xbox live right now. Which figures, since I just bought it a couple weeks ago.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Never in my life did I ever think I would agree with anything that Justice Scalia said.

I'm glad to see his Jesuit training in action.

FYI, I've sent everyone playing the upcoming game the survey link for picking a character and choosing when we'll be starting after the Thanksgiving weekend. You don't need to rush, but "first-come, first-served" will be the rule for any tiebreakers.

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

Yay, survey! Very shiny. I'm still choosing from the pool of characters I haven't played yet and three of the four of them are pilots.

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

That reminds me - Fantasy Flight have announced a second expansion, Battlestar Galactica: Exodus. [link] Because BSG wasn't complicated enough with just Pegasus.

New features:

Conflicted Loyalties: New loyalty cards that give not-a-Cylons more to do than just be good team players, and the Final Five.

The Cylon Fleet: More dogfights! A pursuit track counts down to the Cylons finding the fleet. The pilots now have a title of their own; CAG joins Admiral and President.

The Ionian Nebula: NPCs like Romo Lampkin and Billy Keikeya are added to the game.

Note: the character survey lists all the abilities and the card draw of each character, so don't feel you have to look them up beforehand.

Romo Lampkin

Who the hell is that?

I like the idea of having a CAG.

BTW, how many times here have the President and/or Admiral turned out to be cylons?

That's the lawyer who defended Gaius Baltar, most hated man in the Fleet.

I've whitefonted just in case. Refers to events at the end of Season 3.

BTW, how many times here have the President and/or Admiral turned out to be cylons?

Game 1: President Roslin became a Cylon in the Sleeper Phase.
Game 2: Both clean, the toasters were B.J. and the Bear Apollo and the Chief.
Game 3: President Zarek was a Cylon from the start.
Game 4: The Cylon contingent was formed by the two pilots, Apollo and Boomer.

The President has a 50/50 chrome ratio. So far, the Admiral has always been human (in Tigh's case, all too human).

Ah, right, Badger/Sterling.

I can't imagine the Prez being against the humans from the start. That's rough.
