Well, my handle is part RL nick (Dex) and part homage to THX-1138. So there you go!
Archon: I would have guess you took your name from the old C=64 game. I used Archon a lot on bbs back in the day b/c I loved that game

Well, my friend who worked for Pepsi said that there will be a new Mountain Dew coming out in october. A spicy flavor.

Taco Bell already has a Baja something Mt Dew, maybe that's it?
Spicy soda? That's weird.
Anyone ever been to Epcot and the Coke exhibit thing where you can sample beverages from around the world? Mmmm, watermelon soda!

This morning I got to experience one of those rare wonderous moments in the game: feeling like the hero you are.
 Capt Blaze was cruising around Steel Canyon searching for Vahzilok's minions (with his new flight power!) when his helmet scanners picked up a fierce battle at the entrance to a nearby back alley.
 Blaze focused his sensors to find a hero scrapper besiged by a pair of 5th Column Nazis. The fallen Nazis at the hero's feet made it clear this fight had been long and taxing. The hero was holding them off as best he could, giving as much as he was getting. But the lieutenant and his flunky had the scrapper on the ropes.
 Capt. Blaze swooped by, switching his jet boots into hover mode for better aim. He let loose with a powerful sniper blast, knocking the Nazi lieutenant down and almost into unconsciousness.
 The fatigued hero knocked out the minion and had no trouble cleaning up his superior. Blaze flipped the hero a casual salute before kicking his jet boots back into flight mode and continuing his search of the city.

These events are only a minute or two in the game but it makes the whole playing experience that much better.

I got one of these last x-mas and it's pretty sweet! Not sure why Luke's RotJ saber is blue on that page, but what's a geek to do?  

  MHO: I was bored through most of the beginning, thank god for Ivy *dreamy sigh*. I had, unknowingly, already figured out he whole village thing before ever seeing the movie so that was no big shock. I was expecting it to be scarier, a lot.
 Why would you send a blind girl out in the woods alone? I get they didn't want to blow their cover, but come on. I can only stretch my disbelief so far.
 And don't get me started on his cameo. Ridiculous! I agree with most everyone that he needs to get away from the shcok ending thing or his career is going to tank.
 

(ok bit of necro-posting)

Hey Stacy! Was that the Compleat Strategist you went to? I've been going there since I could drive, back in the days before large book chains carried gaming stuff and comic specialty shops.
There's also http://www.yourmovegames.com/ in Somerville which is very T friendly.

For online buying I've used http://www.gamersattic.com/ they have decent prices.

Off their wumpus? The ASPCMonsters would have a field day with that!
Poor wumpus, been unemployed for so long.
But yeah, just let me know what you need. I have all the cards in purty pdf format. Just have to set the rules down so normal folk can understand them.

And to think I came in here (CCG) just to see what was going on.
The game I made isn't a CCG, don't know if that makes a difference? It could definately have some mini-expansions, but it's played from one main deck.
Hey I'll take my 15 minutes wherever I can get it At least this way, someone outside the state might get to play it.
