I'm sure that's the reason. Toady did just release the newest version of DF after all, he deserves something nice for his hard work.

Why does Telltale have to make such good stories? I'm on the last chapter of The Wolf Among Us and I don't want it to end so soon ;__;

Today I discovered that I can, in fact, put my foot down at work.
Basically, I was initially told that the load I'd be pulling was starting three hours late, driving a hundred-plus extra miles, doing all sorts of crazy bullshit that would more than likely break this route's promise of being home every night. Basically, a bad deal all around and I'm not sure what the planner was smoking when he or she came up with it.
So I told my dispatcher, politely but firmly, that this was unacceptable. I told her that it was way too late for starters, that my clock had already started and I would almost definitely run out of hours before I could get home. I suggested that she find a different load, or I would go home for the day.
Not ten minutes later, my crap load was removed and I got something much more manageable (by which I mean actually possible). I was sure to send a polite thank-you and ended up getting back home nice and early.

Violet heard Noel speak, but it was as if he were a hundred feet away. She remained curled up on the ground and had difficulty moving.
: "I am sorry I cannot help. I was careless and he slipped past my guard." Was it a bad sign that it hurt just to talk?

Well, on a road trip you can stop at a hospital if someone gets sick or injured, while if that happens on a boat you have to wait several hours, if not days, for rescue assuming anyone picks up your emergency signal. And one-year-old kids can get sick and injured quite easily, with all sorts of nasty stuff. I could see the logic in waiting another year or two so you don't have quite such young people on such a long voyage.

A dick move by the phone provider in any case.

it's literally that, a genre of sidescrolling RPG games.
And more specifically, they usually involve backtracking after picking up upgrades that allow you to explore new areas (at least on the metroid side, I didn't play much castlevania to know if that aspect was well represented).

Aika took on a more professional tone at the mention of Liz.
: "You mean the Captain? She sent me on ahead; her pegasus had fallen ill and needs healing. My orders are to find someone named Jeff - or maybe it was Jeffry? - inform him of the delay, and provide assistance if required. Speaking of..."
Aika flies to (11,11), attacks the Archer, then retreats to (8,11).

Aika let out a short laugh and shook her head.
: "Afraid not, ma'am. You're looking at a Pegasus Knight (currently still in training) of Lenon!" She looked around at the various folks who seemed to make up this merry band. "You don't...dress like a regular army unit. Mercenaries?"

Aika raised her lance with a flourish, delighted with her dramatic entrance.
: "Never fear, new friends! I, the mighty--no, that's no good... the stupendous--no, what was it again?...ah, yes the Amazing Aika is here to help!"
Faewynd merely snorted and shook her mane.
