Brett needs to live closer so we can game. Conventions are all well and good, but it's not the same. We meant to test Contract Work but I found another broken rule while reviewing my notes.

Do you die when your assets get cut down? Or do you die when you run out of cash? I'm beginning to like the latter. It reinforces the wagering mechanic. Besides, players survive by buying themselves back from their boss, not by hoarding money.

Instead we just relaxed, enjoyed food and watched movies. I did run my Tribe 8 as tSOY by him (an easy conversion) and he liked my idea that a player's first key (character's focus, or drive) should also be why they get exiled from their home tribe.

In DS news, I thought it would be neat to try out Brain Age since I had lots of fun with the puzzles in Professor Layton and the Curious Village. I'm now embarassed of myself and looking forward to tomorrow when I can get my copy of The World Ends With You and return to games that don't make me feel like an idiot.

The DS is officially the best console ever. Sorry, it just is.
