Flesh and Blood
Oct. 9th, 2020 04:37 pmSquadrons is a very pretty game and I am terrible at it and I do not care. The ships feel and fly like I would have expected - good lord, I do love the X-Wing. It's good stuff.
I'm having a heck of a good time in Alan K's M&M game. For way too long, I've had the idea of Harry Walsh escaping the destruction of his world and finding a new life (and fight) in a more supers-populated one, and now it's happening and it is a blast. His new friends don't know if he's actually from another world or if he's just bugnuts crazy or some mix of the two. Whichever, he's sure that he's in Freedom City to keep fighting evil and stake vampires and learn everything he can. I don't know how long Alan's going to keep this going, but I'm in it for the duration.
I'm reading Nelson DeMille's The General's Daughter. Never saw the movie, and probably will a while after finishing the read. It's damned good writing, and I'm enjoying both the procedural side and the very good character drama.
Yesterday, the FBI arrested a bunch of militia jerks up in Michigan for plotting to kidnap the state's governor, put her on trial for ... something, very probably execute her, then overthrow the state government and establish a new one, based on some very questionable reading of the US Constitution. Good thing they were all white people - otherwise, we might have a terrorism case here.
