The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

I have my tactics, but the new PSP release still looks neat. New classes, plus portable instead of having to drag my playstation around =)

I am contemplating getting the PSP version. I have the DS version of III and its as fun as I remember.

Jackson, Mississippi?

Do you ever call him "The Bish"? Or would that be considered disrespectful?

No -Jackson California. (Know where that is GM?) It is about an hour or so east of Sacto....

Hee hee. No. The slavic peoples have a word for bishop which is affectionate and respectful at the same time; Vladika (pronounced Vlah-deek-ah - with both "ah's" like the ah in the word father). I just call him that.

Things seem to have settled down a little. But I still have a pile of boxes instead of a bookshelf. I was planning to get one on the way home last night, but a major storm blew into town, flooding the streets, blowing over trees and knocking out powerlines and streetlights. So I considered myself lucky just to make it home. It took me an hour and forty-five to get home, instead of the twenty five minutes it normally takes. *sheesh*

Drives me nuts having books in boxes instead of on shelves....

REALLY?! Floods?! In Arizona?

Is that ... umm ... normal?

Depends entirely on your definition of normal, I suppose.

It's not major, river overflowing, Katarina style flooding. But BECAUSE it's a desert, and water is so rare, for many years, nobody bothered to design drainage for the roads. So anywhere the road dips, or has become unlevel over the years, water accumulates.

Also, we do get flash floods through washes and dry river beds. Again, if it were a wet climate it would just be a river that raised a few inches, but when it's dry 300+ days of the year, any water comes as a surprise.

Ah ... that makes sense. Come to think of it when I was down near Florence I saw some of the trenches created by those flash floods in the past.

That sounds like some insensitive thing I would say.

How is that insensitive?

Less insensitive, more. . . inappropriate?

uncouth?

It was a statement on the ease of creating a flash flood not on the size of Aurora's water. Just forget it, Ill delete it. :\

Don't be silly.

Aeson already quoted it, it's not going away. I'm sure nobody misinterpreted it as an insult. It would be kind of an odd one if it was. Yo Mamma's Water Was SOOO big . . . Rather, talking about bodily fluids of any kind is generally regarded as mildly dirty. And normally the Hive is such a repository of clean and wholesome conversation.
