Walsingham

I rmember why I got the creeps. You know how conspiracy mad the Mideast is. How do you think certain sections will react if a virus hits Mecca? It doesn't matter how many bugs normally go the rounds. If the media and hate figures banjo it up...

Woodcut porn.

Er... OK. Anyone?

Careful there, Ros. Studying rare books leads to elder gods. Fact.

Sure, why not. When I'm finished with the book I could write a little review of it with some of the most interesting passages and quotes translated into English. Spoken, quite literally, like a scholar and a gentleman.

I wonder if you'd mind posting some quotes from it? I was reading up on the period to support my Warhammer campaign.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-23298375 I've got a really creepy feeling about this. Hope to <relevant deities> that it doesn't kick off.

I was referring more to my colleagues. Actualy I found out today that the scariest one turns out to be a huge New Vegas fan. Awesome.

Freaks

So what emotional bondings do you like in-game? I was trying to think of other alternatives. Fallout New Vegas uses the revenge model with Rose. I liked that one. It established that she cared about people she travelled with, and then put you in a position to back her up.

Animals. *giggle*

Exactly.

Must be too hot for pie.

Yarr.

Just finished my shift. Bloody hell it was hot! Eight glasses of water and didn't need to pee once! I'm now back at home, drinking a fentiman's rose lemonade. Soon as I have a wash I'm going back out to the pub.

My own view is that psychics are merely using the astounding parrallel connectivity of the pereptual mind to distil out facts from noise. In short, it could always be proved that they had been exposed to all the necessary facts to deduce the answer. But that they were never consciously aware they were doing it. I often solve work problems in my sleep, and get the answer in a dream analogy. I don't consider myself psychic, just taking advantage of what everyone does and usually ignores.

It's the steam workshop that makes Skyrim good for me. I'm misere that we don't get the same for Fallout New Vegas.

I saw the headline "William and Kate waxworks on the move" And I thought of them actually on little segway wheels, roaming London, being charming in a slightly stand-offish way, and helping old ladies across the street. Then, one day the William one wheels into a doorway after being splashed with a lot of water by an inconsiderate bus driver. The door behind him is slightly broken chipboard and he overhears what sounds like a plot to kill the queen by using a retrovirus to make her corgis explode. Desperate, the plucky mannequin tries to get his owners and operators to listen to him. But they laugh in his plastic face. He is disconsolate and mopes until he is helpfully emptying the trash and discovers he is now scheduled to be melted down! Fearing for his unlife, the William mannequin tries to convince the Kate mannequin to run away with him. But she has just signed a sponsorship deal with a range of boutique hatpins, and only cares about all the beeswax furniture polish she will be able to buy. William breaks out, and heads as far away as his pathetic battery life will take him, finally running out of power on a housing estate scheduled for demolition. A band of yoofs find him, and the specciest smallest kid teams up with the empowering vaguely black kid to refit, refurb, and re-arm the moto-monarch. The newly kickass William mannequin returns to central London just in time to find the place in chaos due to a computer virus infecting all the security services. he has to fight a lot of people. Some of whom look a bit foreign. But it's OK because he does so while being terribly polite and understanding. At some point he ends up with a severed head stuck on his belt. The finale occurs as the bad guys are trying to get to the queen, and she is trying to find her missing (now explosive) corgi. She must NOT get on board the jet to Scotland, or it will explode at altitude. At this point we discover that the Kate mannequin was behind the whole thing, and has been upgraded by Craig Charles from Robot Wars, and the two mannequins have a fight on the outside of the plane AS IT IS TAKING OFF. I can't work out if William should win or not.

Masters of Orion for $2.00!!!!!!

I agree with keyrock. DM is final.

hah. Sounds like that's one reason it's not working. Never ceases to amaze me how companies think customer support is an optional extra. I play Borderlands 2, but just recently the lag issue has got totally out of hand. And they haven't fixed it, so the game has gone sour for me.

I wondered how long that would take to come up. Gentlemen, it's just a TEENSY WEENSY TINY bit hypocritical for us to have a problem with people who've been in porn. I find tats interesting. But suggest they might need their own WoT thread. So, hopefully that's that sorted. ~ On topic, I was thinking about the issue of father/daughter. Maybe it's to do with the way we project into the primary character. The one we play. Versus a secondary character who we react to emotionally. I was talking to a colleague yesterday about Fallout 3 versus New Vegas. he hasn't played New Vegas yet, and asked about the difference. I said that in my opinion the big difference was Vegas feels like you are in charge of your own destiny and can be a badass. FO3 just feels like a scramble. Vegas to me is much more fun to play, but does lack a lot of the melancholy in FO3. My point here is that we identify not with the father towards the daughter, but with BOTH the father and the daughter. We aspire to the father role of being calm and heroic. We get our emotional kick of fear and risk by the peril of the daughter. Separating and formalising the two roles helps us appreciate each one in isolation.

What was your take on this, Dagon?

Clip is a shorter word, and feels better to say than magazine. Plus magazines don't make a festive 'ping' noise.

Until the eco-freaks start screaming about an endangered wort living above the gas deposit and use the courts to render access to said deposit fiscally marginal because of all of the safeguards and regulatory excrement, Walsingham. Don't doubt me on this. Some people just seem to hate prosperity. What's the term? Watermelons?
