INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Sources close to local man Bradley Mudd say that the 28-year-old is currently torn between learning a new board game and getting his PhD in quantum physics.
Mudd began the internal debate Tuesday, as he began skimming through the rules of Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game in preparation for an upcoming game night.
According to Mudd, the question is a real toss-up because both options will involve roughly the same amount of work and will result in the same amount of financial gain.
"Well, I could do the important work of learning physics and unlock the mysteries of the universe," Mudd mused to his mother, contemplating the 32-page rulebook on his kitchen table. "Or I could just devote the time to becoming an expert on the Sleeper Agent Phase. Ugh. I'm just not sure what to do. Chicks do really dig guys who can rattle off all six steps to resolving a Skill Check and can wax poetic on the intricacies of the Quorum Cards."
"It's just an impossible choice."
Mudd also had to think about which game rule system he should emphasize in his studies, whether becoming an expert at games like Arydia: The Paths We Dare Tread, Arcs, and Dune: War for Arrakis, or seeking out more complex academic endeavors like learning the rules to Combat Commander: Europe.
At publishing time, Mudd had started learning the rules of the game, though experts agree he is bound to give up in despair and shame when he runs out of funding, motivation, and ideas four years into the process.
Congress is preparing to make some big changes!
