Kreia. Who says the protagonist has to be the PC?

Maybe? I'm depressed and ill, but at the same time my life has been on a general upward slope for the past few years and I'm better off than where I was before.

I'm not sure Canary has enough buckles.

War and Snakes and Ladders have their place. Tic Tac Toe is an abomination.

As someone who's never used Origin, is it actually as obnoxious as people say? That DA:I price is very tempting.

Favorite team: Whatever laundry Peyton is wearing. I do have some residual fandom for the Colts after rooting for them for several years. Least favorite team: Whatever laundry Tom Brady is wearing.
