I wonder if Baby, How Can It Be? overlaps any with Aimer et Pedre, another compilation I've been looking at.

Yeah I thought of getting their Cambodia disc or one of their Excavated Shellac (Reeds or Strings) discs this year.

I picked up Conclave for $5 in the Steam sale, btw. It definitely doesn't seem made for the power-players that just want to conquer as much as they can as quickly as possible (which probably explains its low user reviews), but it does seem to add quite a bit to internal politics. I'm not too far into my playthrough…

Yep. He gave up on me and just sent Amazon cards. I got a variety of used books too.

The Duellists is great. More people should watch it.

A few songs from disc one (mostly northern Africa) of Opika Pende. I've also got Nippon Girls: Japanese Pop, Beat, & Bossa Nova 1966-70 and a Françoise Hardy compilation coming in. I may review some or all of them once I give them a good listen.

We have to Stapp them before it is too late!

2 (the one with the Pope) and Black Flag are the only ones I've played and they were fun enough. Sometimes it isn't clear if they know how silly it all is. I think all the ancestor nonsense began because they needed an ingame reason to block off parts of town maybe because of the limitations of the PS3/XBOX360. …
