Heroes of Might, Getter, and Galactica

"I have to ask you the same question people back home are asking about space these days. Is it worth it? Should we just pull back? Forget the whole thing as a bad idea, and take care of our own problems, at home."
For some reason I was feeling a bit nostalgic for Heroes of Might and Magic 3(the only one I've ever played) and dug it out. Last time I only finished the good-aligned initial campaign, and got stuck on the last mission of the evil one due to the time limit. My save games were long gone, so I started anew.
Let me say this.. don't bother playing it unless you've got a -lot- of time on your hands. I think it's taken me at least 60 hours to finish just the three initial campaigns. The last mission of the neutral campaign was at least 12 hours in itself.
Of course now it's unlocked 2 more of what looks to be 3 campaigns left and I don't know which one to do... The necro one intrigues me but it has a time limit... I HATE time limits. x.o
Also due to some internal mess that needs cleaning, the next job I was going to work on got pushed back... Downside: it'll be longer until I can make more money. Upside: I won't have to work on my birthday, which is in a bit over a week, and I have the time to try these new HoMM3 campaigns.
On the toy front, got the Revoltech Getter-1 figure. It's nice for it's price, but the plastic around the holes(for the stand and the hand-swapping) feels a bit soft, and one of the Getter Wing attachments doesn't like to stay on, since it's jsut a couple bumps that go into a couple holes that holds it on.. and not even tightly.
Wal-Mart also needs to get its act together on the Titantium Battlestar Galactica figures. It's the only place I've been able to find any, it's always very few, and always mixed in with the Star Wars instead of on their own rack. Of course that also means they don't get restocked much (since the Star Wars ones aren't selling and clogging the shelf) so I can't find a single Viper figure. >.< At least I managed to find a Galactica...

"No. We have to stay here. And there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes, and - all of this - all of this - was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars."
