My D&D lovin' soul is making me post Dungeon-Sweet-Dungeon, a flash game where you try to build, populate, and bait a dungeon complex in the hopes of attracting (and killing) adventurers. My first attempt saw my two goblins, skeleton, and slime get defeated by a level 3 villager, who made off with my 40 gold. :(

I just spent the past three hours playing this, instead of working on my upcoming deadline. I blame you entirely.

I assume I'm the only one whose mobile troops all took permanent vacations (without freeing their slots) after the first skeleton got 'killed' then. Building dungeons of nothing but slimes and traps=dead boring.

I had a full-on Tomb of Horrors in the works, but the heroes kept stealing my expensive upgraded traps.

This way we can both point at each other and say, "but THEY didn't get things done on time, so it MUST be a pandemic or something." :)

I'm thinking that the soda concentrate will have a result more like that episode of the Simpsons where Bart drinks the squishee made entirely of syrup.

Ugh. And I just realized the major drawback that comes with concentrated soda -- I've had it at various places, and it always has the added taste of the local tap water. I don't want Coke if it tastes like chlorine.

I was wondering how the "saturation" would work. Will this fountain stuff "settle out" if left long enough?

And I figure they have to do something to clean the lines and spigots. I always run the water on soda fountains a few seconds to clear out any residue from the tea and Hawaiian Punch that shares the same nozzle.

the 'more of the middleman' link had a good point in the comments - where IS the Scifi channel during all this? A eureka/middleman night on Tuesdays would be awesome.

While I'd love to see that, the problem comes in with Sci-Fi itself. From what I can see, Sci-Fi wants to own lock, stock, and barrel every show it airs. This wouldn't be such a huge problem if (1) the show wasn't currently owned by another network, which will no doubt want premium payment for it, and (2) Sci-Fi doesn't have the best track record for writing on shows (see "Tremors," and most of the Sci-Fi Original movies). If they kept the current creative team and didn't mess with it, it'd be great to have it back-to-back with Eureka.

The second season of The Sarah Jane Adventures also features...

SPOILER PAUSE

The Brigadier!

Apparently there will also be a third season.

How have the ratings been in the UK? I was under the impression that, while not as dumped-upon as some past sci-fi series, it wasn't totally being embraced by fans.

I've no idea, I'm in Australia - where the ratings for Doctor Who are the highest our free-to-air national broadcaster has ever seen, Torchwood is getting the "we might screen the second season at some point" treatment on another free-to-air channel, and the first season of SJA has only just been bought by a pay-tv kids channel...

Personally I think SJA does a better DW spinoff than Torchwood, and sometimes is truer to the Doctor Who universe than the current Doctor himself.

But the uber-deluxe Fallout 3 order's pip-boy is just a non wearable clock.

The lunchbox, however, is completely lug-able.

Non wearable for now. I have power tools and am not afraid to use them... much.
