So, stuff then ...

binidjWith the disturbing effects of Relentless gradually leaving my system, I headed off to the middle of nowhere (aka Isfield) to referee the Magpie Empire game. All seemed to go well, with a couple of rules (sensor use and linguistics) being twiddled and the characters (well two of them anyway) setting foot on the recently discovered planet. The "away team" (no they didn't call them that) picked up some soil samples, some water, two different types of poo, a small fish, a dead bat and some rock. They also seem to have drawn some interesting conclusions about the planet, about which I shall say nothing. A significant amount of the game was spent laughing at various schatological humour, mostly started by the ship's doctor. Although we didn't leave the game on a cliffhanger as such, I'm still very impatient for the next session ... I wanna see what they do next.
And then home, to a veritable treasure trove of videoed goodness, to whit, Battlestar Galactica and Episode one and two of Lost Season two. BSG was an absolute blinder with the "Caprica Six" episode (hopefully that will give away nothing at all to those who have not yet seen it) and was, in my opinion, one of the best episodes in a while. Though I have certain reservations, which will hopefully be addressed in a later episode. Lost was equally (though differently) superb, and I very much look forward to seeing where these new developments are going to lead (though irritatingly there have been enough spoilers for the end of episode two to be less of a cliffhanger than, I think, it really should have been), certainly the snippets of episode three looked very promising. Interestingly, the Fox had been playing a lot of "The Mammas and the Papas" over the weekend, so it was a bit weird to have it suddenly blasting out at the beginning of episode one ... got to love synchronicity eh?
Anyway, must get on with some laundry before tonight's RuneQuest(ish) game, oh and I must write up the changes to the ME (hmm, hadn't considered that acronym ... how unfortunate) Players' Guide ... ttfn.

Bin, if you have a portable storage device that will take about 7gig of stuff, I can let you have all of season 2 BSG in AVI format.

Just to echo what's been said so far. BSG achieved a season-ender of jawdropping potential, and Lost S2 has thus far not disappointed at all, with the remaining four or so eps to season end promising a steamer trunk full of revelation. I am all tingly with anticipation.
