On a different topic, my Shadowrun group met last night and we're nearly done with character creation. it slows us down a lot when none of us have ever played it before and I'm the only one who's ever played DnD, and that was only for about 8 sessions.

Anyway, we have a Rigger, a Decker, a Mage, and an Adept. The Adept is an exotic dancer with specialties in seduction/negotiation, unarmed combat, and improvised throwing weapons. The Rigger is big on controlling little drones and things remotely as well as having a huge tank of a swat van. He's a social outcast who prefers tech speak over people. The Decker is just a striaght up computer nerd with similar social issues. So we were discussing back stories, and I said we should make the Rigger and the Decker be roommates who sort of revel in their intelligent superiority and solitude. My buddy who is running the Mage wanted him to be from another part of the world than Seattle where the game is supposed to take place. Then it hit me. Big Bang Theory. So the Decker is Sheldon because of his crap charisma, the Rigger is Wolowitz because of the whole Mars rover thing, and the Mage is Raj because we've decided he's now from India and is sort fo a myscital sort of guy, making the Dancer Penny. It just fell into place so well.

Surprise to see that Rokk said: no active games now?

Also surprise that never saw a Amalgam Mafia game.

Ditto. By the time I finally have a "free spot" to play a game it's usually "been there and bored with it" for the people on my XBox friends list (which is both shrinking and usually just people using it for Netflix it seems..)

So games that give a better bang for the solo player is becoming my target (which is a shame as I bought the XBox to socialize game).

It's that exact reason that I'm playing Fall Out: New Vegas right now. I just started, but it's not bad so far.

Guess you'll just have to get BF4 on the PC and come hang out with me then.

You still need to play more Marvel Heroes.

It's an amazing game Stan.

You won't regret playing it.

Your children will wonder where their daddy is, since he will be ignoring everything. It's that good.

Being informed that you're getting a raise (retroactive to the start of the fiscal year) the day before a holiday that's supposed to be about giving thanks. Yeah, I'll take some of that action.

Good to see that occasionally something good happens to somebody around here.

That's some good stuff right there!

I had a daughter last week. I guess if that counts as good or bad depends on ones' view of me and whether I should be procreating.

A little surprised you didn't name her Jenny though.

That's pretty hard to beat.

I guess you are right.

Congratulations!

I'm leaving my job as Nightshift Security Guard tonight. Decemeber 1st I will own my own comic book and game store. Even though im having periodic freak outs i think its a good thing.
