My military has managed to take all of turkey, and in the process accidently started a brawl with Egypt. Greece lies prostate before the Roman army and three legions march south from Anatolia to fight their unfortunate enemies. Many of the Pharoh's sons lie dead on the roads to Tarsus, having fought amongst themselves so much that they were unable to unite to fight off the oncoming Romans. The Egyptians are also the first to experience the post-reform roman military, Most of my "artifact" units are being bled dry or put into occupying duty, while they're replaced with cohort after cohort of new (professional) soldiers. As the armies grow more powerful, and more cohorts are raised in Greece, the worlds eyes rest upon Jerusalem as the two most powerful kingdoms clash yet again.

The fight in greece has begun again! (that is I'm playing Rome total war as the Brutii) Started out simply, with tentative expansionism into the Macedonian subcontinent. As time has gone on I've gotten in two wars (Greece and Macedon) which led to the death of a VERY promising young member of my family (age 17 had 4 stars), and while I was cultivating a replacement I got a young ambitious captain that made himself useful enough to be adopted into the family. Under his leadership the Brutii armies have completely taken the Greek archipelago and are fighting to take several of the outlying isles before attacking Asia Minor. The Family council has discussed moving the Capital from Italia into the newly captured Greek territories (Athens probably), but the current head does not choose to move the capital. Instead he prefers to keep closer ties to the Senate. At the current juncture, many of the older members of the family refuse to gamble with their fortunes (we have in excess of 30-40k Denarii) and refuse military adventurism that does not co-inside with the goals of the Senate. The only other discussion being tabled by the heads of the family is if we will continue to fight the Greeks on Asia Minor, or if we will fight north in to Scythian and Germanic territories for easy strikes.

When even TOP GEAR is saying "find alternate energy resources", the oil barrons have lost.

Yeah, That entire dungeon is quite awesome.

Ron is a bad guy who shaves with a bearded Axe... and it's more stylized than Mulon Rouge

It is slightly hilarious that i just saw Bunkaru recently (it's INSANE...), and find that the same guy who plays "Killer number 2" is also Lucius Vorenus in Rome.

Not a movie, but started digging into Rome and can't help but wonder why does EVERY SINGLE WOMAN who you see on the show has a "landing strip"?

Ow... brain hurt... shouldn't have drunk that Smirnoff last night.

And she's not angry any more... *le sigh*

And appartly the person I was supposed to go out with tonight got pissed because she thinks that I broke her hypnosis last night (we went to a show)... And I didn't do a bloody thing except point at her.

Well right now you just feel really old because I work with a bunch of teenagers.

I am now 26. *sigh*

I'll probably end up doing archives and research at St Petersburg, and maybe visit my co-workers near the city formerly known as Gorki.

I'm going to trust a real russian over a poser

I want to go to Russia... just to buck the trend.

That's... Paratus on the junk planet right? He's known as THE HARDEST boss in the game.

I don't think so... on my sorc I had a few rakghouls leap up and get themselves electrocuted for their troubles to give me their DNA.

Just out of question.... was dismemberment in the base game? I don't remember that happening in the first run I did a year ago, but saw a guy's hand get slashed off in one of the tutorials.

Loathed Hawke far more than I ever disliked Tidus. Initally I was not a fan, but he grew on me as the game progressed. Same with Varn in FFXII. Thing is, everyone assumes that it's going to be a "spikey haired emo with a sword to compensate for something"

I personally am gonna go out on a limb and say that I prefer to have a character that's somewhat laid out for me previously. Part of it is graphics style... your character usually doesn't look nearly as good or feel as well animated if you've got the standard 400 sliders available, and the character also doesn't EVER really say much to avoid "OMG it's the player!". That said, I think one thing that needs to be done by the industry is correct the concept that this: Is going to be the automatic protagonist, with terrible dubbing, and some insipid dialogue about friendship tacked on.

Just chalk it all up to cultural differences, Japan has their feminine bishonen protagonists and we have our rugged space marines. They both sound pretty gay if you ask me. West pitches east catches I take it?

Ohhhh... they made the ship titanic and they made her out of steel They said no storm will ever break her keel But god raised his hand and shot a rubber band and the greatest ship went dooown.... It was sad... so sad (It wasn't happy) It was sad when the greatest ship went down to the bottom of the, husbands and wives, little children they all died It was sad when the greatest ship went down. >.> remembered from boyscout camp.

Yeah, that combo is pretty murderous... it's just I can't stand listening to Khem Var to much.

I find how this story is writen, adjusted, and then railroaded both hilarious and saddening http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/16/justice/florida-teen-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
