So, I downloaded the new Pathfinder Adventure App from Google Play tonight
(The card game in APP form, for those who have been living under a rock for the past year, and might not have heard about it.) :)
It is BEAUTIFUL
It played well, although even as someone who has stumbled through the first couple of scenarios of the box set a couple of times, I already had an idea what was up.
Only reason I'm not giving it a GLOWING review right off the bat is;
-I'm tired and cranky, ;P
-My Tablet (Samsung Galaxy 8) overheated halfway through the tutorial, forcing me to remove it from it's case to continue (NEVER has happened before!) :(
-You MUST sign into the Google Game app if you wish to collect gold and such from playing the game, IE-must also be on interwebs WHILE playing the game, (You don't HAVE to be, but why play all that time and NOT get the rewards youve earned?!?) And I, generally, detest those games that require you to be online to play. :/
-So of course, my internet connection kept dropping out during play, and then reconnecting, and then dropping,... O_o
Despite all that, it is a BEAUTIFUL game, and I think, if I can get my buggy device to behave, I will really enjoy it!
Hoping that a little sleep, and a few actual scenarios, will help me get a better idea of how well it actually works. I REALLY want it to be as awesome as it looks, the story-line and character conversations/cut aways were really cool and (I think) added to the game.
Looking forward to wasting a few hours (and a few bucks) with this one!

Wow... I'm actually caught up with the post-reset-canon Star Wars comics in trade paperbacks. (The highlights so far are the Darth Vader ongoing series and the Princess Leia one-shot.
Also, yesterday a bona-fide, written-for-the-BBC comedian liked two of my puns!
I enjoyed the post endor comic.

Me too. Especially the half-page panel just after the battle where you get fractions of conversations and it's everything from "We did it" to "Have you seen so and so," and "Half the squadron done."
And Luke's undercover mission to fetch two bonsai-trees was fun.

Ok I was posing in a corset and dress with a rapier and I got kind of playful and started shadow dueling with it. I observed two things. That the corset keeps your chest from expanding making it impossible to draw full deep breaths and also that if you ever tried to swashbuckle in one you end up panting like a dog... Which is neither ladylike OR intimidating. So much for the outfit I always pictured myself in when playing such games. Now I have to dream up something far more practical.

After my stint in the military I realized that encumbrance is a sh1tty thing, and that even following the rules no one would ever be able to realistically work it. But, sometimes you have to overlook reality for fun.

Isn't it. You definitely should try fighting in a corset, it is a wild experience. Easy to see why someone could pass out in one if they don't think to or want to pant and need to exert themselves climbing a lot of stairs quickly or something similar like fighting.

Well, I'm already thinking on my next travel project. I had a lot of fun in NYC, and I do want to visit MoMA, and the Guggenheim. I had no idea Van Gogh's Starry Night was on permanent display at MoMA. Maybe in the fall
I am also feeling nostalgic for DC. It's been almost 20 years since I was a young(ish) soldier stationed at Fort Meade. I'd like to take a weekend to ramble through the Mall and the Smithsonian.

Forget not your trip to the Big Easy!
Mardi Gras is a great time to
get wasted,... erm,... see the sights! Yeah, That's it! ;P
I'd rather go in the Fall. I'd like to concentrate on a more sober stroll through the French Quarter, try some local cuisine, sip a coffee and nibble on a beignet early in the morning in a small patisserie, and like that
