The explanation for the entire Baseship arc, I think, is that Number Three is completely insane. This episode was a little shaky, but the actors did a good job with it IMO.

Not because of its gameplay...

Oh boy. I actually liked Torn a lot better than I liked this episode.

The game industry could use some pretension.

Yes. (It's not a coincidence that J.J. Abrams' next show was called "Six Degrees"...)

Yes, we have tabloids (and I also know what The Sun is), although I'm not aware of anyone who actually reads them. Most of them are about celebrities and aliens anyway.

It's on SciFi's website, too. For some reason I always laugh at the shot of Roslin at the "...drunk XO..." line.

Are you new to Jack Thompson or something, Wrestle?

"Adama wouldn't lie to me." Oh my.

The sad thing is that that forum is (used to be?) generally intelligent. I really can't believe all the graphics-related comments, considering what kind of stuff that forum is for...

I think the parallels are obvious, but I really don't see the show making the insurgents (at least Tigh and the suicide bombers) the "good guys". Both sides are into morally abhorrent territory at this point. But Adama will come back and set them all straight.

Can we talk about the premier now?

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=68325 Not that anyone's expecting much from Crytek, but...

I couldn't get the damn thing to stop crashing every few hours, so I eventually just gave up. Fun to retread Diablo in a different art style, though.

I'll give you Gordon. But FREEMAN?

My first thought was Hideo Kojima.

You've scored 18 points! You're batting 720!

Have you had some coffee/tea/mountain dew/cocaine recently, Duncan?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DotA I didn't know what it was either. A WCIII map, apparently.

Yes, I'm still watching both. And no, you're not really missing anything on SG-1.

No, Nora never appeared before the webisodes. Even I (super-obsessed BSG geek that I am) have been forgetting the webisodes, though I usually remember before the day is up at least. The latest one was sort of great and sort of not. Bastard Tigh is awesome, but the whole thing seemed rather off to me.

I do, yeah. But the redhead speaks in this one! She was following Anders around in the last three episodes of last season, and she stood out because of the hair. And that frown smiley gets me every time.

Dreamfall, if I may be so bold.

Jammer is part of Chief's deck crew. He's the one who's always "It's every man for himself!" and gave Cally the idea to shoot Boomer. Duck is a Viper pilot, but he's only been in a couple of episodes. Very peripheral character. Obviously Tigh, Chief, and Cally you know. I know all this because I am obsessed to an unhealthy degree.

Besides Duck's wife, they're not new characters.
