    Captain Cook batted for 13hrs 56mn before being out off a no ball for 263 — the third longest test innings in history and the longest by an Englishman. He did so in scorching 40C heat in Abu Dhabi.

    I could not have lasted ten minutes.

    I would like to make a formal apology, for referring to “He who shall not be named” on Lusipurr.com. My remarks were insensitive and vile, and do not represent the readership of Lusipurr.com, and I regret any past Chrono Cross trauma my comment may have reignighted. I will wear a dunce cone for the following week in hopes of redeeming myself.

    You must wear the dunce cone ALL week, including in the shower and on public transportation. Don’t disappoint us!

    If the handheld is powerful enough to play the same exact games then I will play games only on the handheld. As it stands I haven’t even had a television set up in my house since February.

    That’s a sizable amount of money. It should stave off the inevitable collapse of Konami by several minutes.

    What an awful game.

    None this week. That’s a first. Even Bup couldn’t make it this week?

    The Once and Future King by T.H. White

    -Chapter 8-
    I love how the Wort lets Merlin knit his beard. They’re both wonderfully spiteful. It’s very humanizing.

    Eagramont?
    This is the closest I thing that I could find, but it sure doesn’t sound right in the context that you used it in.

    Do all birds speak in this story or can Merlin just understand him?

    A merlin is a falcon, not a hawk.

    If SN can’t keep from rubbing on his mic while you’re reading then he really must mute it. It’s not only incredibly annoying, but also makes it almost impossible to hear you read.

    Imitanis Gaming Entertainment? Moment
    This week I played Relic Runners.

    Relic Runners is a board game about exploring a South American jungle to find riches and accrue fame. Players will start together in base camp and will take turns moving out into the jungle and exploring in that order. Players leaving base camp can end up on ruins or temples. If the player explores a ruin, then they can place one of their path pieces on the board. Paths indicate routes that are known to that player and makes movement in the jungle much faster. Temples will either provide points, a special ability, or a one time bonus. Each ruin and temple has a stack of 2 or 3 tiles depending on the number of players. Once these tiles are expended, a relic appears. To obtain a relic a player must be able to move from one relic to and identical one on the same turn, following their routes. Relics are easily worth the most points, so it is important to plan out your paths early in the game and effectively explore to set up relic runs.

    I enjoyed the game quite a bit. It tends to move pretty fast as turns typically don’t take very long and you get something or do something to expand your options on every turn which is nice. I recommend it.

    I’ll be heading back into D&D this weekend. No more Perytons though. I’ve learned my lesson.

    No travel this week.

    Final Notes
    Fair enough, you caught me. Back to cats it is.
    Lusi, it sounds like you’re eating while podcasting, and it’s pretty damn annoying.

    GAAAAAHHH! Even more mic rubbing! How much does it cost to get a headset mic or something? It is rage inducing.

    Final Quotes
    “We’re ashooming that it will be out next year”
    “Corgey”
    “yeeeaaAAAAAAAWWWWWWWwwwwnnnn”

    You misspelled A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

    Personal family reasons. It was unavoidable. My staff members do have families, and they come first.

    He’s been warned once. He’ll not be allowed on again until it is fixed. I was pretty upset during editing, but he has not been around for me to speak to him. In fact his post (due today at noon) isn’t here either. He may be dead.

    Lusi, it sounds like you’re eating while podcasting, and it’s pretty damn annoying.
    I had an apple before the podcast, but nothing during. During the podcast I drink water. A lot of it. I probably need to drink even more than I do, since by the end I can hardly speak.

    marginally better than a drain
    But only marginally. We’re honest about it.

    Maybe the smacking I heard was water or was SN. Either way, it’s awful to hear right in your ear (I listen with headphones).

    Whilst I was AFK making my tea, I remembered that I had some throat lozenges as well–I usually use those to help keep me able to do the readings, since some of those voices are like taking a belt-sander to my vocal cords.

    That said, unless I am talking, the microphone is not near my mouth–and it’s set up so that, unless I am SHOUTING or right next to it, it doesn’t pick up anything at all. So my guess is that it was SN.

    I’ll be having a word. No worries there.
