Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
From Gamephil's "Sorcerer's Galaxy" game earlier this week...
 
My character Kaiba did a bad thing, and his ancestor--Talia (Yes, the same one from "Galactic Champions", though a fraction of her former might)--was having a problem with it.
 
Talia: You just killed that...man...thing...whatever it was!
 
Kaiba: Yeah, well...he had it coming!
 
Talia: Oh really? Why's that?
 
Kaiba: Well, after all that progress I was doing to get us out of here was unmade, he beamed in and said 'I could've told you that would happen.'
 
Talia: And that's why you chopped him in half!?
 
Kaiba: NO!! That would be irrational! I was pissed, true enough. And I said in an angry voice 'oh thank you so much!' It's what he said afterward that pushed me over the edge!
 
Talia: And he said...
 
Kaiba: YOU'RE WELCOME!!!
 
Talia: And that's why...you chopped his head off?
 
Kaiba: Well...I guess I overreacted...a little...

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Character creation session (for a Cyberpunkish game) rather than actual gaming, but we still managed a few good lines.
 
ME: "Okay, let's get this joke out of the way." *stares at Jeff* "Who are you?"
JEFF (making a Bat Moreau): "I'm Batman."
ME: "Okay, now that it's out of our system, we will never. use. that. joke. again."
 
(while describing boostergangs)
Me: "There's a gang that uses cybernetics to emulate comic-book superheroes from the old days. The Superman guy is probably the most chromed-out mofo on the planet. Artificial muscle fiber, subcutaneous body armor, flight system, laser optics, X-ray optics ... anyway, the gang's usual schtick is making businesses pay a 'hero tax' for protection."
(pause)
Me: "They're the X-tortionists."
