Well, looks like I've let another few weeks slide by without comment. But on the upside, I've been VERY busy. Rather than maunder as I'm wont, I'll just bullet the highlights

Dragon Age has been a big time suck for me lately as well:) Have you procured Dragon Age 2 yet? If not, I would suggest holding off a bit until you can get it used for 1/2 price. My opinion is that Dragon Age 2 is pretty good. They made some really good game play adjustments (some things I miss a bit from Origins) but it is a shorter game.
I was just thinking about you today when I saw an ad for the 40k Space Marines video game. It looks pretty fun! This is such an awesome year for gaming!
Congrats on your coffee drink and your SCA stuff too ;)
I'd been replaying DA:O with the idea of actually finishing the final battle and puttering through the DLCs, all as a runup for getting DA2. But seeing the reviews, I had decided to wait for a good sale. The clincher was this one: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/2978-Dragon-Age-II . He may be an over-analytical ass with a dislike of RPGs... I've yet to see a review of his that I haven't had to admit the same pros and cons to a game, no matter if I play the game before or after.
The Space Marine FPS looks gloriously cheesy. I've been watching that since early development. But my main 40K fix has been coming from Dawn of War 2. The new expansion "Retribution" is next on my purchase list. Sadly, I haven't played a real game of 40K in over a year...
Good to hear from you! We might be up your way in a couple weeks. I'll keep you posted.
