Back in the days of printed newspapers, there were ads, but at least they weren't in the middle of the story! If today's corporations invented the newspaper, the paper would have built-in explosives to launch the ads at your face.

@htdrake's Mk III charged straight in (well, up the side) and I focused on treads. She wiped me out with three tread units left. One better infantry die roll would've made the difference.

@MsMerope I hear people say this, but even when I drink COGO (caffeinated hot cocoa equivalent to coffee), I still start to nod off in presentations. For good or ill, I think I might be immune.

The message is somewhat ambiguous, but I assume "it" refers to the app and not my device.

New York Zoo is heavier than all those cute animeeples make it look. It took quite a few plays for me to wrap my head around the rules for breeding and moving animals around, perhaps because they slightly differ depending on the number of players, but I think we're finally playing correctly.

Tonight's game was a nail-biter as I beat @peterdrake to victory by a single square.
