If I buy DVD's / Blu-rays, I usually go for the "best" version by default, unless there's really something I absolutely don't like about it (cheap plastic figurine thing, tin case). But generally, the more discs, the better (or to be more precise, the more content, the better). That doesn't mean I'll watch everything, but things like deleted scenes are usually interesting to watch for me, especially if there's commentary on it as to why they were deleted, and the technical making-ofs (not the "making-ofs" you see on television where you see everybody flattering eachother), and the audio commentaries (both the educational ones as the entertaining ones) are the most interesting to me. I do wish though that a DVD / Bluray starts directly with the menu (but not the movie right away, in case I want check stuff first), and get rid of the anti-piracy ads.

Oh yeah, I haven't even finished Overlord. How great the game and the dlc is, they need to fix their bugs, god damn it! For so far I could play it, it was great though. There something about a team of 3 engineers in a mission full of Geth !

End of turn [4] - nightphase The loyal man walks the corridors of the Galactica. On his way he encounters the shady man. He stops him for a second. "Hey, wait a minute," the loyal man begins. "I need to talk to you. I trust you, I think. I'll be.. Busy tonight. I need someone to take care of things for me tomorrow. You up for it?" The shady man hesitates for a moment, but you can hardly tell from behind his sunglasses. "Sure, I'll see what I can do" he responds. They part. While the shady man is on his way to find a grumpy man, the loyal man stops by.. The brig. "I don't feel safe. I think I'll just.. Spend the night here" "But sir! You have duties to perform!" the guarding soldier objects. "I've done everything I wanted for today, and tomorrow is a new day. Now if you don't mind" He enters the brig. The guarding soldier is confused, but he can't refuse the man anything. He locks him up. A watchful woman enters the nervous man's office, they have an appointment. "So, I believe you have a test for me?" she asks. "Yes, I only need a bloodsample. I'll be done quickly" he responds. He takes her bloodsample, then she leaves. A grumpy man can be seen walking the hallways of the Galactica that night.. A rare sight. He's wants to visit someone, but he's unaware of his current situation. Nevertheless, he won't make it to him anyway, because he's stopped by an anxious woman. "Come with me, you'll be safe" "But I'm making a housecall" the grumpy man responds. "Never mind that, just come with me! They're after us!" She grabs the confused man by the arm and drags him to her raptor. But when she's about to take off, she experiences a major headache.. Much worse than last time. Shje has a shocked look on her face, as if she realises something terrible. She looks at the grumpy man, who looks back at her even more confused than he already was. "Are you ok?" he asks. "I.. I.. Have a headache" "Maybe you shouldn't be flying then. I can take a look at it" "No, it's ok. We should go" She goes through with what she set out to do in the first place, and departs with the grumpy man in her raptor. An inquisitive woman takes her crew in search of a loyal man, however, she's not able to find him initially. She does some asking around, then finds out he's in the brig. So that's where's she's headed. "I only want to ask him a few questions" "I can't allow that, sorry" the guarding soldier replies. "What's he in for?" "Can't tell ma'am" "So.. Do they pay you good? Because I can offer.." The soldier stops her. "Sorry ma'am" Realising nothing will make him cooperate, the inquisitive woman and her crew leave disappointed. The shady man has arrives at the grumpy man's office, only to find an empty place. "That's disappointing" "You're looking for someone?" the doubtful woman asks. She's looking for trouble. "Ah, it's you. Well yeah, I was.." before he could finish his sentence, he's punched in the face. "What the frak!" he exclamates. "Yeah? And that's not all. You know your girlfriend? She's so ugly, she gets mistaken for your boyfriend!" "My wife is dead! You motherfrakker! You've done it now!" They have a brutal fight. Blood is spilled. But finally, they both give up, when they lie exhausted on the floor. "So you do this for fun huh?" the shady man asks. "Pretty much. Well, not exactly. Anyway.." She gets up, then leaves. The shady man's cat, in his travel crate all this time, looks unfazed by the event that has just taken place. He looks as confortable as ever. The doubtful woman is out of sight. The shady man gets up too, but notices some pins lying on the floor. "Must be from her uniform" He takes them, and leaves the scene. The doubtful woman is walking towards her bunk, when suddenly she's stopped by the idealistic man. It's as if he was waiting for her. "I really like what you're doing" "Punching people in the face?" the doubtful woman asks confused. "Yeah, please continue. Make the most out of it tomorrow." The idealistic man leaves as quickly as he had appeared, like he usually does. Exhausted from her fight, and confused from her talk, the doubtful woman resumes her way, when suddenly a gunshot can be heard from the corridor where she just fought the shady man. She turns around, to assess the situation. When she arrives there, she sees the shady man lying on the floor. From the corner of her eye she can she a woman running away. The doubtful woman chases after her, but when the other woman turns a corner, she loses track of her. She gets back to the shady man's lifeless body. She gets some soldiers to secure the place. "I guess you don't have a home now huh?" She grabs the travel crate.. The cat looks distressed. Romo Lampkin is deceased. He was clever good, and he was a lawyer. He was played by Nintendohnut. Somewhere else, a dog sneaks in the couragous woman's quarters. She's simply sleeping. He doesn't know why he even tries anymore. There are no cookies to be had here too. He barks loudly, waking the couragous woman up in a shock. The dog leaves. Start of turn [5] - dayphase

Just wanted to comment with my own personal experience: I've not played through ME1 & 2 a second time, because I wanted to wait untill 3 is out (plus dlc probably). I'll stick to my "canon" run for now.

Eventhough I have most of the PM's I've decided to extend the deadline for this nightphase with 1 final day, so the last few have untill tomorrow to PM me my actions (they've received reminders). I'll probably extend the deadline on new year's eve as well.

Yup, there's some stuff I want to buy as well.. Although I can stop myself mostly because I rather have boxed retail versions.

I targeted heroicjanitor because I still wan't entirely sure of him (but well, I'm not entirely sure yet of a lot of you), and he was, after Nintendohnut, next on my list. If he turns out the next Captain, then he was as good a target to protect as anyone. After him I have Cube on my list (of people who didn't vote for MadDog that is), I suggest we pressure him. vote: Cube ########## What's anoying: I'm still not sure of my actions in the write-up, even after night 4. Do you know where we are heroic? In the last write-up that is?

Comment: I'll extend the deadline by 24 hours (untill tomorrow) as proposed yesterday, seeing as I haven't received many PM's from you, understandable of course on this occasion. Deadline is 28-12-2010 00:00 (although probably a bit later even). I'll send a reminder about 1 or 2 hours prior to de deadline, to everyone who hasn't send a PM by that time.

Final voting count: There are 14 active players. Absolute majority is 8. President: [heroicjanitor] [8]: Jonnas / Tales / jayseven jayswans jaya jayswimming / The Peeps / mr-paul / Zell / heroicjanitor / gmac / Diageo Lynch: [Present] [8]: Jonnas / Tales / jayseven jayswans jaya jayswimming / Paj Meen Ah / Nintendohnut / heroicjanitor / The Peeps / Diageo / mr-paul / Majority for President vote has been reached. Majority for lynch vote has been reached. [volunteer for executioner]: Tales / Present End of turn [4] - dayphase After 4 days, the people of fleet finally managed to settle on a new official President. The last voters hastily put their ballots in the box. After all the votes have been counted, a winner is declared. Then everyone runs off. "Wait! What about.. A ceremony?" the newly elected President asks confused. "Here" someone shouts, while throwing an object towards his head. "Ow!" he scratches his head. The object lies on the floor. "A crown?!" heroicjanitor has been elected President. He will remain in office untill at least 02-01-2011 00:00 CET (01-01-2010 23:00 UK) (turn 5 & 6). He picks up his crown, and just follows the crowd. It seems there are more important matters at hand. Inside the airlock a passionate woman is kept. "I'm beginning to see things differently. Please listen to my story! I've done you no harm so far.." the woman pleads. "You're evil, it's written on your face. Throw her out!" "I can be useful!" she finally says while the inner doors are closing. Then the outer doors open. A minute later, the airlock is empty. Caprica Six is deceased. She was evil , or was she??, and a rebel. She was played by Present On the intensive care, the dedicated woman was lying. She regained consciousness that day, but her vital signs are extremely weak. "At least, I got to tell my story. I served my purpose". The vital signs on the monitor flatline. The medical staff tries to save her, but ultimately, they fail. Laura Roslin is deceased. She was unfortunately the first victim good, and the initial President. She was played by Jonnas. Start of turn [4] - nightphase

Majority for lynch vote has been reached. [volunteer for executioner]: Tales / Present Comment: Well, it looks today there may be a real chance someone actually gets elected this time, ending the day early. But.. Since tomorrow it's Christmas, and everyone will be opening presents, playing with presents, eating Christmas dinner, and watching Dr. Who, and generally be busy, I'd like to know if people want to make an exception, and extend the nightphase to 48 hours (covering Christmas day, and Boxing day (or simply "second Christmas day, as we like to call it here in the Netherlands ). If I get 2 more votes for heroicjanitor, I will end the dayphase tonight, but everyone is free to comment on this issue (and only this issue ) during the nightphase. If I think there's a demand for it, I will extend the nightphase.

Personally I start with which processor I want, then just go with a motherboard which is compatible. Making sure it has enough slots for anything I want to add. But the basic features are all the same on most of them, because of Intel's (or AMD's) specifications. So just make sure you have enough slots and other connections (sata connections for your HD's, and USB for everything you want to connect), than you can look at built-in features (onboard LAN, sound, but again, most of these are standard on most boards), brand, or even appearance. You can also look for new features as USB 3.0 or PCI 3.0, and SATA 3.0. Also, make sure your MB fits in your case. Probably just ATX. If you want to expand in the future by adding a second videocard (I've read an article that concluded 2x GTX 460 = best bang for buck), make sure you have 2 PCI-e x16 slots.

Ah.. You'll miss turn [4] completely.. I hope you'll at least manage to send me a PM before the deadline! .

End of turn [3] - nightphase A dog walks the corridors of the Galactica.. The inquisitive woman knocks on a door, she has an appointment. "Come in", can be heard from behind the door. The inquisitive woman enters the office. "So you're here for the.." the nervous man begins his sentence while turning around, then pauses. The nervous man and the inquisitive woman look at eachother. The nervous man looks as if he suddenly remembered something. "Just do what you normally do" the inquisitive woman says to break the silence. The nervous man takes a blood sample, but his mind is elsewhere. "The results.. I.." he stutters. "Never mind the results, we'll talk later. The inquisitive woman leaves. Meanwhile, in his office, a loyal man has a conversation with the watchful woman and the shady man, who, as always, has brought his cat along. "I'm doing this on the side, but I think I'm getting better at it." the loyal man begins, feeling a bit more confident than the day before. "Someone has to do it" the shady man replies. "You're doing wonderful!" the watchful woman replies after him. "Tomorrow, I want both of you to do your best, for the good of the fleet!" the loyal man finishes. The shady man and watchful woman nod in agreement. The watchful woman and shady man leave the loyal man's office. The idealistic man stops the shady man before he walks off, and waits untill the watchful woman is out of sight. "I don't think it's a good idea. Just keep a low profile tomorrow, it's for your best interest" the idealistic man speaks softly. The shady man looks a bit surprised. The idealistic man leaves before the shady man has time to think of a response. The inquisitive woman, after taking some time to prepare, gets her crew and leaves in search for a passionate woman. They find her, and she gladly cooperates. A courageous woman is at her station, looking at various video fragments. She's looking for specific footage, but she won't be able to complete her work today. A serious man appears, he's looking for her. "I'm throwing you in the brig" the serious man says sternly. Suddenly a anxious woman comes rushing. "No! She has to come with me!" she shouts, while catching her breath at the same time. "But she'll be coming with me instead" the serious man anwsers. He grabs the couragous woman by her arm, and takes her away. The anxious woman is left behind. Eventually she leaves as well, to return to her quarters. On her way home, she feels a slight headache. But nothing she can't handle. The shady man, still a bit disturbed by his earlier talk, sets off to do his job. He's on his way to visit a doubtful woman. He knocks on her door, she lets him in. "Have a seat." she says. The shady man sits down on the couch, and puts his cat, inside the travel crate, on the floor. The cat looks at ease. The woman is frantically pacing up and down. "I have all this energy, but I don't know what to do with it today." she mentions. She seems too distracted to concentrate on a real conversation, so the shady man takes this opportunity, and swipes something lying on the table. "Why don't you have a drink to calm down, then you can get to sleep. Tomorrow is a new day." the shady man tries to reassure her. He takes his cat, and leaves. The serious man returns to his quarters, after arresting the couragous woman. When he enters, he encounters a mess. That's not how he left the place. From the corner of his eye, he sees a red blinking light. He doesn't get a chance to react. The Centurion shoots the serious man, and he falls to the floor. The Centurion makes a run for it, but the shots were loud and could be heard from outside. The alarm sounds.. Soldiers come rushing. They shoot the Centurion, it falls apart. After checking if the Centurion is completely disabled, they enter the serious man's quarters. They find him on the floor, he's not breathing. The soldiers realise they've just lost their commander. William Adama is deceased. He was finally active good, and he was the commander. He was played by MadDog. When news of William Adama's death reaches the loyal man's ears.. He starts crying. But he knows what he has to do. A grumpy man is in his office. He hears the alarm, and opens the door to find out what's happening. He sees soldiers running past his office, but they're to busy to inform him of the situation. A dog runs past him through the entrance. "I can't have dogs here!" He ignores the dog, and walks towards the dedicated woman instead. "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do for you now" he says with sorrow. The dog, feeling neglected, licks up some pills that are lying on the floor. He didn't quite enjoy them.. He barks towards the grumpy man, and leaves. ================================================== Fleet News Network: 5 minutes with a passionate woman "Hello passionate woman, and welcome to the show." "Hi, and thanks for having me." "So, I see you dressed up for this?" "Yes of course! Can't appear on fleet television without looking absolutely fabulous!" "That's a beautiful dress your wearing. Very sexy." "Yes, it's from a famous Caprican designer." "You sure stand out. Not everyone dares to wear a red dress like that casually." "It has to be red, it's my favourite colour!" "Well, thanks for your time. Tune in next time for 5 minutes with a stranger!" ================================================== Start of turn [4] - dayphase

If you end up really being the Captain.. I'd reconsider. You know, if that would be possible gameplay-wise.

Well, technically I'm neither, since in this game you are either loyal to the Captain or not. And to be clear, I'm the former. Also, I don't know what the myth about Davy Jones is, when I googled him, all I saw were pictures from Pirates of the Caribbean, movies which I've been avoiding.

It doesn't and I didn't imply that. Read. And I got out. So the realisation of who I am makes you want to vote for me right away? Fine. Like I said, you would've been my second choice as a target, since you didn't vote for MadDog, you have some suspicious voting abiltities, and you are finnicky with your votes. I'd put my vote on you now if I had one.

3rd time: I'm not sure. All his claims seem backed up, however, I keep finding it strange he doesn't seem to have a single description. Perhaps he can change his description for each night.. Or someone else can. There's no theory, only facts.. The horrors are the side effect, it's what causes my target to not be able to vote the next day.Which I can demonstrate: vote: Sméagol The thing I lost was my original key from my locker. I'll leave Nintendohnut alone for now, but with a lack of direction, I'm going to bring this list up again: Voted for Aqui1a but not MadDog: Cube HeroicJanitor Dazz Didn't vote either: Rummy Tales The Fish Eenuh I say we pick one of 'm except for Dazz and go try to pressure him / her while we still have time (although, probably no use). Who's the most suspicious of this list?

Someone has to activate the doors . Comment: I'll wait a bit to give a few people a chance to send their PM's in.

I'm not sure you're evil, that's why I'm sorry. And I do appear last write-up. It looks like I'm the revered pirate. Also, I want to mention again: I don't think Popeye was a killer.

Final voting count: There are 16 active players. Absolute majority is 9. President: [no President] [1]: jayseven jayswans jaya jayswimming [Ellmeister] [1]: Present [heroicjanitor] [7]: heroicjanitor / The Peeps / MadDog / Diageo / Ellmeister / Zell / gmac [Tales] [1]: Tales Lynch: [Dannyboy-theDane] [9]: Nintendohnut / MadDog / jayseven jayswans jaya jayswimming / heroicjanitor / Tales / Diageo / The Peeps / mr-paul / Aqui1a Majority for President vote has not been reached. Majority for lynch vote has been reached. [volunteer for executioner]: heroicjanitor End of turn [3] - dayphase While the acting President didn't get enough votes in to be officially elected as President, and serve a full term, he remains in office anyway. The current President remains President for another turn. An angry mob gathered in front of the pragmatic man's quarters. They didn't have real evidence, they acted on.. Animal instinct, if you will. Some noises could softly be heard from within, like someone was building something. They barge in.. The pragmatic man initially just gives them a blank stare. "Frak!" He pulls a gun.. A loud sound echoed across the corridors of the Galactica. The pragmatic man put the gun into his mouth, and shot himself. There he lies, in his own blood, between various Centurion components. Already dead, they threw him out of the airlock anyway. John Cavil is deceased. He was not Saul Tigh evil, and he was the Cylon leader. He was played by Dannyboy-the-Dane. On the intensive care a dedicated woman was still being cared for. The monitor by her side didn't indicate much brain activity. Start of turn [3] - nightphase

Sorry, Nintendohnut, to be honest, I i[]do[/i] think it's the best lead we have so far. However, I can't vote anyway, otherwise I would've taken a chance on this hunch.

Then it should be ok, but I'll still wait before I decide.
