River of Fear

Halloween night saw a line of storms come through town. There was some scattered damage, and here at the complex, a tree fell onto a couple of vehicles. Scattered power outages, as to be expected. Made things interesting for a little while.

I saw Ender's Game last night, and was not impressed at all. The movie's pacing is a mess, and the ending seems even more rushed than in the novel. There's very little time given to showing us why Ender is such a mess, only that he is, but he's also the Chosen One and all, so, audience, just go with it, okay? Hailee Steinfeld's good, and Ben Kingsley, too, but the rest of the cast is either phoning it in (the adults) or mostly stuck with a fairly weak script and not quite able to make it work. Not recommended.

Had planned to run Eclipse Phase today, but turnout and energy levels were both too low. Going to try again in two weeks. Hoping like anything that we're able to get in a Deadlands session tomorrow night.
