I'd love an updated and expanded remake that isn't streamlined to the point of pointlessness or an FPS I think Shogun 2 is probably the closest we will get in a while Anyway , I went to save the game only to find out that I can't save unless I'm at home so here is everything that happened on my way home When we last left our hero he was pondering getting married and since the consensus here seemed to be for it Tom went to court a bride Only to discover that she had been kidnapped by bandits Since I had nothing better to do I figured that I might as well rescue her As I enter the not so abandoned castle I start searching every room killing bad guys along the way The bodies start piling up quickly and there I've found Momo I pick her up and sling her over my shoulder and make my way out and then we have our big moment Marital bliss and now we are back at the castle but it appears that we are not alone Let's visit them and see what's what It's Kuemon and we are presented with 3 options here We can insult him which will either result in a duel, probably to the death, or he will laugh it off like the coward that he is We can invite him to a tea ceremony which will improve our relations if he agrees or cool them if he declines Or we can leave but is that ever really an option In truth there was ever only one option to arms! and so we begin the dance of death and then I've taken first blood Unfortunately I killed him so fast that I didn't get screen shots of the next few hits Kuemon's heir takes over and becomes the new "new guy" and then we are home at last Home sweet home

sorry I'm new here but this game will support mods?

I wanted to like it but I also thought Neverwinter was too fast paced and I don't mind fantasy. I also thought that it was a bit shallow, even for a MMO

Miss Kansas is a deer hunting, tattoo-wearing sergeant in the U.S. Army

most times I don't miss North Carolina at all this is one of those times

The more honor the better I believe but it doesn't really matter in the long run I think the best you can do would be to marry the daughter of a high honor rival but I haven't actually tested that since honor is pretty easy to get and a wife is both a baby making machine and a liability (kidnapping)

This will probably be my last post for the day but I welcome any feedback The battle went well as I remembered how to move troops around the battlefield I took my spearmen around each side of the woods and took the archers right up the middle. Archers are weak up close but their main purpose was just to draw out the enemy while my spearmen flanked them For my troubles I get decent addition to my lands and another offer from a matchmaker I should probably get hitched soon and get on with the getting on of making heirs. I'd hate the game to end because I died a virgin After the battle I'm back at the castle but it appears my rival has left and my only option are to court a bride or leave I'll let you guys decide what our man Tom should do here and I'll pick back up here tomorrow morning Thanks for putting up with me

Definitely need more men I've gone about recruiting quite a bit after losing half the army Since this is my first time posting something like this I'm not exactly sure how much or how little to post so I'm kind of winging it. I've left out the few recruiting screens from my rivals during my recruitment but any feedback would be appreciated. After the 3rd time recruiting Back on top! and then... A campaign action available. What's nice in this game is that you are actually competing against your rivals and if you don't attempt the deeds and actions they will Speaking of which and missed out on the matchmaking offer but Anteki, the filthy bugger, couldn't resist before I head out I check the current rankings Oh Yoichi, how you have fallen when you choose to travel you have 3 options presented to you Travel alone - you travel around and can formally visit your rivals or your lord and can have a couple different kinds of random events (duels, melee) happen to you Travel disguised - this is using for causing trouble like assassinating, kidnapping, stealing, inciting riots Travel with troops - used to attack or help rivals defending themselves, attack a hatamoto in a rival provice, or take your troops to you lord and attempt the campaign action it's the map, it's the map, it's the map, it's the map, it's the map, it's the map, IT'S THE MAP! my house my lord's house I enter the castle and tell bossman we are ready for war Now just like on defense we have a choice of 3 different formations and now that my army is bigger and I'm attacking you can see what they're all about Note the guys in the front are archers Just like last time the formations can also be flipped It looks like the enemy is hidden in the trees so I have no idea what I'm up against and since I'm attacking they won't charge me until I'm right in front of them

Sure enough there were a lot more troops hidden in the trees but I still have decent numerical superiority so I just take the charge head on. I know that I will end up with more casualties this way but I honestly don't remember how to maneuver my troops at the moment. I would have liked to move my troops to the side and attempt to flank but maybe (hopefully) next time Their numbers quickly dwindle and they retreat I lost half of my samurai in the process but in the grim darkness of feudal Japan there is only war And that leaves me back at the main decision screen with the same options that I had as before

Taking Allan's advice I went ahead and equipped more samurai Which looks like was a good choice But then I see it was definitely a good choice because Oh snap! Then all my rivals decide to add to their armies as well Not sure why Kuemon got to recruit twice and Yoichi not at all but whatever I have more pressing concerns Then like the impossibly handsome love child of James Bond (Sean Connery of course), Han Solo, and Boba Fett that I am I get approached by a matchmaker trying to tie me down. But as you know I have more pressing concerns like my land being under attack and even if I wasn't aint nobody got time for that Besides she doesn't seem like that great of a catch anyway it also seems that my time at the top was short lived Looks like everyone else increasing their armies countered me increasing mine and then the battle begins and I have no help and no options but to defend myself but first I must choose my formation There isn't a whole lot of variation right now because my army is so small but basically you get to choose from 3 formations that each have their own strengths and you can also flip formations but as I said my army is so small that it doesn't make a big difference The combat in this game is fairly simple and numbers and flanking are the main things to focus on. Since I'm on defense the enemy will charge my position and I'll need to be careful as there could be a second unit hidden in the trees. The terrain here isn't much of an issue since I'm defending and out in the open but trees can hide and slow you down, rivers also slow you down a lot while leaving you in the open and the small cliff or hilly area is much the same.

More info on the current situation in the world AKA the other screens we can view Here you can see the current ranking and the stats for each Anteki is the most capable Yoichi has many fine qualities Kuemon is an adequate retainer I am a disappointment (like I haven't heard that before) but I have nice stats Next up we have what is going on in the world Currently there are no campaign actions or bold deeds available but I'll try to describe what each of them are Bold deeds - These come in two basic types duel and melee Duel is a swordsmanship mission in which you are fighting one on one with another opponent (ninja or samurai) in a 3rd person perspective. First to 4 hits wins but there are power attacks (that leave you vulnerable on defense) that count as 2 hits Melee is kind of a top down birds eye view of a village, castle, or rice field in which you fight against a lot of enemies of varying types. Spearmen, archers, swordsmen and on higher levels ninja (invisible until they are right next to you or attack) or gunmen. You have 2 attacks, a bow to hit enemies at range and a sword to hit them close up and 1 hit kills them but 2 hits kill you Campaign action - are always army against army but the terrain can change a bit and figures into your tactics a lot. There are offensive and defensive battles but I believe that campaign action battles are always offensive

I want to say this game came out in 1989 or so and it's one of my favorite of all time.

I've been on the fence about making this for a while but I figure what the hey Please forgive the bad cropping job, I'm lazy First thing first Here we gave all the different game modes What is in a name? I'll probably die really quick but at least that will keep this fairly short I picked this clan because they have a lot of land. The symbols are honor, generalship, swordsmanship, and land ( I think so anyway, I don't have the manual anymore). Land is the most important stat as it determines how big your army can be and bigger is always better So it looks like I was right about what each symbol means but that's probably because I'm a symbologist in real life. Anyway, after saying how land is the most important I go ahead and choose honor as my family advantage Now we meet the hatamoto Lord Munesada and he introduces us to our rivals who will all be positioning themselves to become the next hatamoto In order of their power we first have this guy and I don't know about you all but I don't like him already Next up is chump number 2 in line. He will probably be my first target Next is bottom guy well technically he's above me but just barely and it it's because I'm new. He may be desperate enough to try some dishonorable acts against me but I dunno, he has kind eyes And now we have me and yes, I do get my eyebrows done Now it's time to decide how we want to spend our time moving up the ranks Equip more samurai - Exactly as it sounds and the more land we have the more we can equip Practice kenjutsu - Train your sword fighting skills. I never really do this and I actually don't even know if there is a point to raising your skill Drill your troops - Practice your general skills by commanding your samurai in a mock battle Donate land - I never ever do this one. You get some honor I believe but at the cost of land which means at the cost of troops Travel- take to the world map and seek adventure

Testicle size 'link to father role'

I love Sword of the Samurai and have thought about making a let's play of it

I'd agree with all of that except the music app which I quite like Edit: I have the original model but I bought my father in law the new one

I liked it too err I mean, uh, I would have liked it had I been able to legally watch it

The Seventeen is the BMW Five Series of hand-guns IMO. I love them. Not meaning to be contrary but I preferred the weight and feel of the Beretta 92 over the Glock 17 Though I will admit a mild case of Beretta bite the first time I ever shot one

I'm in my 30's now and I still do this and I have no plans to ever live my life differently. Sure the details may change slightly but I still follow my dreams, chase after my wife, and drink way too much

cut and pasted from elsewhere I was at home the other night in the middle of my dinner when the phone rang. ME: Hello. AT&T: Hello, this is AT&T. ME: Is this AT&T. AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T … ME: This is AT&T. AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T … ME: Is this AT&T.? AT&T: Yes! This is AT&T, may I speak to Mr. Byron, please? ME: May I ask who is calling? AT&T: This is AT&T. ME: OK, hold on. At this point I put the phone down for a solid 5 minutes thinking that, surely, this person would have hung up the phone. I ate my salad. Much to my surprise, when I picked up the receiver, they were still waiting. ME: Hello? AT&T: Is this Mr. Byron? ME: May I ask who is calling, please? AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T … ME: This is AT&T? AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T … ME: The phone company. AT&T: Yes, sir. ME: I thought you said this was AT&T. AT&T: Yes, sir, we are a phone company. ME: I already have a phone. AT&T: We aren’t selling phones today, Mr. Byron. We would like to offer you 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. ME: Now, that’s 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day? AT&T: (getting a little excited at this point by my interest) Yes, sir, that’s right! 24 hours a day! ME: 7 days a week.? AT&T: That’s right. ME: 365 days a year.? AT&T: Yes, sir. ME: I am definitely interested in that! Wow!!! That’s amazing! AT&T: We think so! ME: That’s quite a sum of money! AT&T: Yes, sir, it’s amazing how it adds up. ME: OK, so will you send me checks weekly, monthly or just one big one at the end of the year for the full $52,560; and if you send an annual check, can I get a cash advance? AT&T: Excuse me? ME: You know, the 10 cents a minute. AT&T: What are you talking about? ME: You said you’d give me 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That comes to $144 per day, $1008 per week and $52,560 per year. I’m just interested in knowing how you will be making payment. AT&T: Oh, no, sir. I didn’t mean we’d be paying you. You pay us 10 cents a minute. ME: Wait a minute, how do you figure that by saying that you’ll give me 10 cents a minute, that I’ll give YOU 10 cents a minute? Is this some kind of subliminal telemarketing scheme? I’ve read about things like this in the Enquirer, you know. AT&T: No, sir, we are offering 10 cents a minute for ME: THERE YOU GO AGAIN! Can I speak to a supervisor please? AT&T: Sir, I don’t think that is necessary. ME: I insist on speaking to a supervisor! AT&T: Yes, Mr. Byron. Please hold. At this point, I begin trying to finish my dinner. SUPERVISOR: Mr. Byron? ME: Yeah. SUPERVISOR: I understand you are not quite understanding our 10 cents a minute program. ME: Is This A T &T? SUPERVISOR: Yes, sir, it sure is. ME: (I had to swallow before I choked on my food. It was all I could do to suppress my laughter and I had to be Careful not to produce a snort.) No, actually, I was just waiting for someone to get back to me so that I could sign up for the plan. SUPERVISOR: Ok, no problem, I’ll transfer you back to the person who was helping you. ME: Thank you. I was on hold once again and managed a few more mouthfuls. I need to end this conversation. Suddenly, there was an aggravated but polite voice at the other end of the phone. AT&T: Hello, Mr. Byron, I understand that you are interested in signing up for our plan.? ME: No, but I was wondering - do you have that “Friends and Family” thing because I’m an only child and I’d really like to have a little brother… AT&T: click……..

My tankish Jedi Shadow just arrived on Belsavis at level 45. I don't find his voice as annoying anymore but I'm pretty sure that I've already figured out who the first son is unless they pull some trick where it's a character I haven't met yet
