It was the second time I've played and it's pretty fun but ridiculously complicated. Every turn takes like 20 minutes and I can barely figure out what I'm supposed to do each time. My friend whose game it is is a pretty serious gamer but also very patient and a good teacher so that helps. I know it's not strictly speaking a role-playing game but I played as Helo and just used that as an excuse for being cluesless! Very pretty but kinda dumb and, also, very trusting!
Excellent! If you're ever interested, we've played 21 games of BSG in the gaming thread so far, and are currently on the 22nd. (Though it's on pause right now, being held hostage to ND's punishing work schedule.) New players are always welcome. (I perform a GM role, which includes helping newbies make sense of things.)
Of course, I had that problem last night-- watched the Oscars with a friend, and she had to identify all the blondes under 40 for me, because I couldn't tell Emma Stone from Naomi Watts. I wonder if I'm just a tiny bit face-blind?
Emma Stone isn't blonde at the moment. She's back to her usual red.
Colin Firth is just now coming into a period of his life where I think he's hot. Until TTSS, I was all, "Eh, whatevs." but he's growing on me.
Chris Pine is also starting to become hot. I think it's the silver streaks in his manly face hair.
It's the long-term To Do list, some of the Past Dues are...very old. I'll leave it at that. But it's shrinking rather than growing, hooray!
I thought the silver in Jack Black's beard last night was also very attractive. Kind of Mark Ruffalo-esque.
Speaking of Jensen Ackles, did he do a movie during a recent hiatus? I could swear I saw him briefly in a commercial during some Hulu-watching I was doing. Some deeply-stupid-looking movie about an American businessman in Germany, perhaps?
Agreed on Chris Pine, who never did anything for me before. But Colin Firth has always been yummy.
Mark Ruffalo looks like people I know and therefore falls under people I'd talk to, not people I'd consider oosting.
I have to say, I'm a bit surprised at the complete lack of links to images in this discussion.
I really want to stay up and watch Sleepy Hollow, but I know how tired that would make me tomorrow. Sigh.It's not even me being responsible, I just don't want to be that tired.
Jensen Ackles was not in a movie over hiatus, more's the pity. I'll take all of him. For the team, you know. Although I will admit that my Jared Padalecki lust has grown a whole lot over the years. He's just so big.
I feel like we should have a checklist. No, Colin Firth (although he does seem lovely), YES, Jason Momoa, yes, Tom Hiddleston ...
Depending on how beefed up and bearded he is, CEvans kinda reminds me of my nephew, so I kinda nope away from serious drooling about I'm. I can see where others get it, though.
The Toms--Mison and Hiddleston--totally do it for me. Apparently lanky brown-haired Brits are my jam. I've sort of grown into an appreciation for Colin Firth. Although I liked him in P&P, Mama Mia sold me on him, actually. Seeing him go from Serious Austen Hero to embracing the Abba with gusto was delightful. And Momoa gets a hell yeah from me.
In other news, NC gets snow twice a year if we're lucky and today's one of the days. Which would be great, except that I'm supposed to fly up to MI for a job interview today. My 12:40 flight was pushed back an hour as of 7:30 this morning. The snow's still falling. I'm not entirely confident about my chances. If weather hoses my flights, does anyone know if I can get my money back?
