“I guess it’s possible that people might not know that they bought a game from a shady retailer, but I don’t think it’s very likely. Not that Ubisoft is some paragon of virtue, but I don’t really have much sympathy for those effected.”
Plenty of ordinary people cannot tell the difference between buying a code on UPlay as opposed to some other site. They go to google and type “Buy X” into it, and then go to the first thing that comes up.

“A thing I won’t play for a thing I won’t own! Awesome!”
That’s why we are here!”

“I’m having trouble remembering any Sega games that I liked that weren’t in the Phantasy Star series.”
Ewwww.

“Rainbow what? Kirby who?”
Something about drawing, rolling, floating, blahblahdygsdshi….

“Nice that they would add extra functionality. I’ll get this game eventually.”
Tried out the new stages: they’re good! I hope we will continue to see added stages.

“Sledding is great!”
No.

“This is just getting worse. Claudia is going totally crazy.”
What could possibly go wrong?

“I drove an hour to pick up something on Sunday and made the mistake of trying to get a pizza for dinner right when everyone was slamming the place for their sportsball parties. It took almost 90 minutes to get a personal sized two topping pizza for dine-in. Bah.”
You should have told them, “Uh, I’m DiceAdmiral of the Lusipurr.com InfoBlast. Don’t you know?”

Then, it would have taken several hours to get your pizza instead, giving you ample time to relisten to the podcast.

The ways of DA are sometimes beyond mortal ken.

Imitanis Gaming Moment
This week I played another round of Risk: Legacy. I’m still enjoying the evolution of the game, even if it’s still as swingy (you can win or loose massively) as vanilla Risk. in the last game we played I got a good foothold in holding all of Europe but never got a chance to do anything with it. This time I tried that again, but couldn’t get the numbers to defend all of my borders. It looked like I wasn’t going to be able to win, so I decided to play Kingmaker (a player who doesn’t win, but whose actions are crucial to deciding the winner). Two of the three other players had already won a game, and I had an alliance with the third so I made a point to cripple the first two. I took away their continent bonuses (Africa and South America) and scattered them as much as possible. It turned out that after breaking them up I was able to take the HQs of both of those players and win the game. I named a city and added it to the board (Metroplex in Madagascar) where only I can start, and signed the board. I also got some nice work done on a game that I’ve been designing, but I won’t say much about that until there’s more to say.
