Deviously Dangerous Dexter

Windy today, feels like something was looming as I biked into work. Probably going to rain this afternoon. Everyone seemed to running a little late this morning, saw more bikers than normal out, maybe its just the weather.

I've been a long time fan of the show, and very happy to have it back on the air. 8 seasons and it all is going to finally wrap up. There have been some up seasons and then some slumps, but hopefully they shake it all up for this final inning. At the same time I am now reading the novels by Jeff Lindsey (thank you Burlington Public Library), which have a lot of nice surprising twists to them, not to mention that the rhetoric is razor sharp with Dexter's inner monologue.

Began our conversations with the lawyers yesterday about the contact and all I have to say is, ick.... legal... Its like an alien language all by itself, purposefully made to be entirely too dense. We got a translation, making some changes, waiting for a reply. How it goes i guess. Till then we just keep plugging along with whatever we can.

Had some other thoughts about how the adventure game could work out. Might break away from the code and experiment. Yesterday we successfully got combat to initiate from an event (A bunch of slavers where appeared) which is pretty awesome. Going to try to put as much control as possible into the event system so that you can indicate how many enemies there are, if they hit the party with a surprise attack first causing X character to lose some health before the fight, etc. Flexibility is the key.
