Wait a minute. Shadowrun? As in the Cyberpunk-genre RPG popularized some twenty years ago? I was *big* into Shadowrun in college RPG circles. Would love a review of decent computer games on that genre, T.

The very same. I played it from 1993 to about 2006.

The computer game is being made by a company called Harebrained Schemes, led by Jordan Weisman (one of the original inventors of the pen-and-paper game). It's going to be the first proper Shadowrun CRPG.

Holy ****! This could be great. Could also suck ***. Please keep me posted, T.

Also note the price. If it does suck, I'll be disappointed, but not penniless...

Thanks Andre and Per! [:)]

Yeah, it was a good offer, Andre. Slightly more than our asking price, with some toward closing costs. We're pretty happy tonight. [8D]

Reason aplenty to celebrate, big guy! Well done. Bust out the rum punch! [&o]

ETA: Let the hindsight commence: you should have asked for more. [:'(]

Well, planning a backpacking trip here in Iowa or southern Wisconsin. I'm taking the boy I mentor to his first true outing in the great outdoors. I'd give it a 50/50 shot that the mosquitoes suck us dry before night falls.[X(]

1. Spray your clothes with permethrin topical clothing spray. Let them dry. You'll be glad you did.

2. Try to avoid hiking in low areas (yeah, I know, they're *all* lowland areas in Minnesota) at dawn and dusk.

3. Spray your skin or use some >30% deet paste. The picaridin stuff is an aperitif. The herbal stuff? They pick their teeth with that before they eat.

4. Long sleeve shirts that are breathable. Head netting helps for the mosquitos and some of the black or biting flies. I'm serious.

5. Mosquito netting for the campsite / bedding.

Good luck. Oh-one more thing! Avoid Iowa and Wisconsin. They eat their young. [;)]
