(no subject)

Here's how much of an idiot I am when it comes to music. So, for the longest time, I only knew Death Cab for Cutie as that group Seth Cohen would babble about on the OC. Even worse, when people first started talking about the Cab, I thought people were going for the brevity thing and that was just some shortened way of saying that group's name, as opposed to it being a different group altogether.

Speaking of Death Cab for Cutie, "I Will Possess Your Heart" comes out as DLC tomorrow. Which I was thinking would be kinda boring for someone doing vocals since they don't get to sing until like three or four minutes in or something and its not like there's all that much to sing when you finally do (just a lot of the same). Although my sources tell me the DLC version is neither the full 8 minute album version nor the way shorter radio edit, but a special 5 and 1/2 minute version for the game.

Anyways, last night tried out the new "Exodus" expansion for BSG with the usual suspects. I thought it was a fun addition. I mean, there are new loyalty cards introduced, so in addition to cylon, not a cylon, cylon sympathizer, you can be "not a cylon" and have an agenda much like you would if you were playing one of the cylon leaders. You have to complete some task or get some event to happen or else lose some resource if its the end of the game and you have not completed it. There's also "Final Five" you are not a cylon cards, which can totally eff you up if you do something to look at a person's random loyalty cards, because they cause you to get executed or thrown in the brig or other nasty things if they are viewed.

But the new characters they added are Tory, Anders, Gaeta, and Cally. I tried Cally out, she's kinda amusing, since her once a game power is to execute someone in the same location as her (which I did get to use!), and you know how much I like getting to kill things in games. Though I didn't think her inability to play just 1 card (she has to play 2 or more, or none at all, though she doesn't have that caveat in the brig) during skill checks would be as big a pain in the ass as it was. Huh, I'm trying to think if all the major characters are playable now. At the very least, with the addition of Anders, all the Final Five are in the game.

We didn't play with Allies, but it looks a lot of the other major recurring characters were available as those, including my faves Seelix and Racetrack. But you also have that Kelly dude and Hoshi, Aussie Razor chick, Crashdown, Hot Dog, Cottle, Billy, Elosha, Romo Lampkin (still such an awesome name), De'anna, Simon, and Doral. Huh, I guess with the latter 3, that's all the cylons in the game?

There's also some complex ion cloud addition which we didn't play with as people said online that it sucked, but we did play with the cylon pursuit board.

But yeah, what else this weekend? Like I said, tried BSG last night, went to the gun range earlier that afternoon. Saturday night had dinner with the ex-roomie, psyched_out and his family (hadn't seen S+S and their kids in a while) at the Bone Garden before heading to zarathrustra94 and turdburgler's for elf slaying (though no actual elves were slain). And as I mentioned a couple posts ago, saw "Take Me Home Tonight" that afternoon, so it was actually a somewhat full weekend.
