I don’t normally have one available, but doing this works in a pinch.

I will say it isn’t a full deconstruction, more like, they’re isolated and on their own with no real hope for drydock like Voyager; what should that actually be like? It’s something of a 4 season version of Year of Hell. I think I remember one of the writers (maybe Moore) saying it always bugged him that Voyager would…

In the show, this leads to a lot of punching, shouting, explosions and sex.

Depending on how you play this is how the game could work in real life too.

You do not have to know anything about Battlestar Galactica to enjoy the game. I have friends that have never seen the show and love it, and I know there are people that hate the show and enjoy it. But give it a watch. It isn’t perfect and I’m personally a Star Trek guy too, but it was made by Ron Moore and I think…

I’ll agree that the execution mechanic is flawed, but the base game is already pretty unforgiving for the humans. I feel like you have to have a really well oiled group to have a 50/50 human vs. cylon win ratio. That said, I have not yet played the New Caprica end scenario, since I really only got Pegasus for some…

I’ve heard good things about Daybreak and Exodus, but haven’t played them myself. I have Pegasus and it’s great for a lot of reasons (though my friends and I probably need to come up with some rules about the airlocking mechanic, as it’s a bit imba, and I think Cain is a bit overly powered as a character.)

The…

I haven’t shelled out money for all the expansions, but the Pegasus expansion has a cool twist on the sympathizer card. In the base 4 person game, someone is a sympathizer, which is basically a Cylon without any of the fun. We normally played a variant four person game where there was one Cylon and the 3 humans were…

This is the best boardgame ever. Here is my story. I was Baltar and a Cylon. In a three person game with two longtime roommates (not of mine, of each other), I used my Cylon detector ability to look at one of the player’s loyalty cards. I called him a Cylon, to his anger, and had each of them viciously at each others…

I don’t remember a lot of console commercials, but I remember this one, and I remember high school-me being really impressed.

Wait, French documentary? That’s German.

Edit: Read the Youtube summary. Dubbed in German, my bad.

Completely agree. I was extremely depressed when Warlords came out, which improved the game, but dropped this into the menu:

Wait, when do the two stylized rookies show up? I remember Bryan Welsh, but I didn’t see the other two, and I’m on my third read through.

It’s one of the few games I replay once every year or so because it’s a breezy good time. It is also well and true in the movie canon by admission of the creators and it retroactively makes GB2 good.

He’s not some nameless fifth wheel! That’s Bryan Welsh!

We’re going downtown with some neutrino wands
And specter we’re going down streaming
I’ll be your number one with a proton
An open trap vortex
Step it and shut it

I want to play this so badly, but I have to wait until I can afford to update my computer.

Certainly didn’t hurt the actual frontrunner.

Once Doomsday shows up, you know Superman is going to die. That’s the only thing Doomsday is good for: killing Superman.

I’m going to be the dissenting voice and also “that guy”; I don’t really like Civ V that much. I really wish it did, I wish I could see in it what everyone else does. Maybe I’m just spoiled on having played its prequel first for 5 years straight, but Civilization IV, I think, is still the perfect Civ game.

This was the moment I liked most. Makes me sad that the character is stuck in a robot waiting to be a supervillain again.
