To those of you confused during last night's game:

This is what GI Joe hands looked like when I was a kid:


Hope that clears up any lingering confusion.

Abbador lives!

New Monday, new session of the Vats of Mazarin, and Abbador didn't die!

I'm so happy I haven't even totalled up my experience to see if I made a level or not. (I may not even be close.)

(Just checked; no, I didn't make a level. But I'm getting closer!)

Vats of Mazarin again

Well, I can safely say that my connectivity problems are (for the while at least) done. I just got done with another Vats of Mazarin game on Google+.

Abbador died again (we only had 2 pc's at that time, and I got into melee. Not a good position for a Magic-User...), but was raised by the rest of the party.

Next time, I'll hire mercenaries. Even if I have to take one down to the Vats and clone him!

When in doubt, reinstall, part II

And even before you have a doubt, run reliable anti-virus and anti-malware software!

Finally, after a combination of things (AVG PC Tune Up and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, to be specific), I think I've finally solved the computer problem that was preventing me from participating in hangouts on Google+. At least, I tried to start a hangup today and it worked.

I missed out on the Conan game last Thursday, which was a real bummer. But it looks like I'll be there this week.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, though.
