Shit's all sorts of different now.

NOT BSG

So we tried out the Kinect at the NYE party we went to and holy crap. I've never really "wanted" a gaming system/component before, but damn I want this one. I might actually exercise.

No interrupts.

I will be able to help very little. Guess I should have saved back some cards from last round.

Aims, I love our Wii and totally use it only to exercise. Over Christmas I was all, hey, yeah, I guess they sell games for this thing. So I support your Kinect joy. Get one. The MM will love it and you will use it.

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

Very well, Admiral. Despite the clear will of the people in my election and this prophecy I have (Shut up, Billy!) I have decided to surrender the Presidency to you, on account of the men with really big guns you sent to my office.

You offer it to me freely? I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this. In the place of a floppy-haired President you would have a Pradmiralissimo! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Sixes! Treacherous as the Eights! Stronger than the guns of the Pegasus! All shall love me and despair!

...I have passed the test. I will diminish, and go into the West, and -- No, wait, sod that for a joke. Pradmiralissimo ahoy! Mr Gaeta! Crank up some Zeppelin!

What do you mean, the neighbours want to see me about the noise?

Our wings are not tired.

Liese, talk to me about Wii. I have used mine exactly once, and only because (Hec's) Emmett was encouraging me. Tell me what you love doing with it, please?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I bought the Wii Fit with the balance board and I use it to track my weight and to do a (very basic) workout. It`s not a huge amount of physical activity (it`s probably best for balance, really) but it is an easy way to bring that into my routine. I only have a few other games and mostly those because our students play it when they`re over.

Helo, I suggest you watch carefully how hard Baltar plays into this check. If he holds back, then I would guess you can take this, or at least get a partial pass. If he goes hard, however, you might be better off saving your cards. Failing this check will not be good, but it should be manageable.
