TS's response to GM's question "Is there anything you want to do before the other PCs arrive?" during the first scene of TS's first Rifts scenario:
"Er...I hide my stash of blow, and wait for everyone to show up."
In my defense, I probably wouldn't have chosen the cyber-knight, had I known that that pregen had the Dudley Do-Right alignment.

I left home to go to walk to the train around 11. For once, it's not foggy or ice cold. Not hot or even really warm, but not unpleasant. Slightly cloudy, bit of a breeze. Get to the end of the block, look down the street, and it's clear all the way to the ocean about 20 blocks down. The horizon is a great expanse of deep blue-gray water, and it calls out most seductively. Now I don't want to go to work, but I must. How are tourists to get their alcohol if I am not there to sell it to them?

Naked.
No one* wants that.
But I may go swimming. :)
I went swimming! Clothed. (My family is thankful.)
And now... thunderstorms!
Making a hasty assumption that Tacticscubs aren't adopted, I'd wager that LadyFiredove saw you without cloths before, and the childrens' existence might be somehow related to your lack of clothing in the past...

Too bad Orthos hasn't been around. I wanted to ask him if he's played the Brave New World ROM hack for FF6.
I'm enjoying it a lot! Retranslated, upgraded difficulty, and a lot of changes...
They totally revamped the game so magic and magic resist aren't the only stats that matter, linked certain espers so only certain characters can use them, made the evasion stat and magic evasion actually work, modded the characters so they're not all "one size fit all" anymore, redid the weapons and armor so it's not all "buy the most expensive in each new town you get to", got rid of gauntlets and genji gloves and just gave some characters the ability to dual wield and some weapons the ability to be dual gripped...lots of stuff.
In particular, the fact that the first boss can kill you in one shot if you hit his shell on accident instead of just hurting you really, really bad was a shock for me. 9999 damage. From a snail.
Oh, and if you needed a spoiler for that, it's been over 20 years. Rosebud is a sleigh. Jesus dies in the Passion. The Titanic sinks.

Another game of Team Evil Kingmaker down today. One of my players returned with his brand new Necroccultist, who has already proven himself to be incredibly helpful. Sadly, one of my players will be going on vacation with his family for a few weeks, so it's the last session for a while. However, they have finally started the Varnhold Vanishing. Luckily enough, their first welcome into the Glenbon Uplands was the Random Encounter table throwing 6 Cyclopes at them. Now that was a hard won fight for a group consisting of nothing but casters, and it was only by the grace of the Necroccultist using his fast zombies to great effect that they managed to get through it.

That is demonstrably not swimming, and we're too paranoid to ever trust a pool or "private" beach to be that private (or comfortable, for that matter)...

Spawning days are different days. And, you know, don't work like tadpoles, fish, or others non-human mammals. As I'm specifically referring to birth, in this case, it also requires a hospital (as we needed it, both times).
And I was far too mild to ever be interested in any of the over-the-top violence that McFarine (sp?) or related companies made.

I'm drinking a Heineken to wash down my spicy steak and eggs, and I find myself at a loss as to why I bought the Heineken. If I wanted an easy to drink, spicy food beer, I'd generally reach for a nice craft pilsner like Scrimshaw.
As to steak, I may hate black pepper, but I do enjoy a moderate dusting of cayenne as a substitute. Turn up the cayenne and add in paprika [for smokiness], garlic powder, onion powder, and the obligitary salt, and you can't tell it's "cheap before it was close to expiration" beef.

I have returned from Connecticon.
Yikes. What a ride.
Coworker and nephew did nothing but get on each other's nerves. It was so reminiscent of having an older daughter and a younger son. I loved it. Probably because I don't have kids myself. But it was a great look at a possible future. I think I was an okay dad. Probably because my coworker called me "Mom" constantly due to my mother hen-ing.
Met Nana Visitor, Michael Dorn, and John Rhys Davis during this con. The latter was going around from booth to booth shaking the hands of people who couldn't leave their businesses. My nephew shook his hand, all the while wondering who this guy was, which made me feel a bit old. Still, the man is a true class act.
Drive back was not NEARLY as bad as drive up, even including the kids acting like... kids. I threatened to turn the car around so many times, and duct tape them to each other even more times. I even threatened them with the "This is our get along shirt" meme that is HILARIOUS. God. I am a mother(hen).

Mitsubishi is better then Toyota is what I gathered.
I said that Yasunori Mitsuda is a better composer than Nobuo Uematsu.
They're both video game composers who used to work for Square Enix back in it's golden age. They've both since struck out as independents, but Nobuo gets a lot more name recognition because he's significantly more prolific.

Uh, do the composer wars count as, er, edition wars of sort?
They will stop bickering, or they will get hose again!

Oh wait, Mitsuda did Flight from Xenogears. N/m. I may have gotten composers confused.
