The roads are/were much less treacherous this morning than yesterday. This is a good thing. After yesterday morning’s traffic snafu, you would think that UDoT would have made sure that the roads were well-salted. It just makes sense. Apparently, no one got the memo at UDoT, though. We saw a few slides and even a 360 around 3:30 PM, long after the morning lack-of-rush hour.
As a corollary, by way of
Last night, Chris came over to play ‘Clix. We decided to play a 600 point game, but I neglected to put a team together until a few minutes before game time. I wound up using:
- Bronze Tiger
- Captain America (Ultimates)
- Deathstroke
- Lex Luthor
- Marvel Girl
- Moon Knight and
- Nightshade
…against his X-Men themed team of:
- Bishop
- Magneto (Ultimates)
- Professor X
- Psylocke, with three Feats (which I don’t recall) and
- Wolverine, with Vault
Through attrition, I wound up winning. He said that I “…built a team to be mean,” (since I had two characters with Outwit) which wasn’t what I was trying to do at all – I just built a 600-point team. So, he said that he’s going to build Batman into whatever team he plays from now on… which I usually expect him to do. *shrug* I’ll just have to deal with (or get beat down by) The Bat when he shows up.
