http://the-toast.net/2015/01/23/tell-high-fantasy-novel/ The Elders would like a word with you. The Ritual is about to begin. Something that has not happened in a thousand years is happening. You are going to the City. There is only one City. It is only said with a capital C. No one needs to bother saying the name of the City. It is the City. Certain members of the Council are displeased with your family’s recent actions. A bard is providing occasional comic relief; no one hired or invited him and his method of earning a living is unclear. The High Priest is not to be trusted. Someone is eating an apple mockingly. There is one body of water. It is called the Sea. The Great Sea, if you are feeling fancy. You live in a region with no major exports, no centralized government, no banking system, a mysteriously maintained network of roads, and little to no job training for anyone who is not a farmer. You have red hair. You wear it in a braid. Your father was a simple man, and you don’t remember much about him – he died when you were so young – but you remember his strong hands, as he fished or carpentered or whatever it was that he used to do with them. You’re going to have to hurry, or you’re going to miss the Fair – and you never miss the Fair. There is trouble at the Citadel. Your full name has at least one apostrophe in it. It is the first page, and you are already late for something. Your mother affectionately chides you as you gulp down a few spoonfuls of porridge; she will be dead by page forty-two. There are two religions in your entire universe. One is a thinly veiled version of Islam. It is only practiced by villains. The other is “being a Viking.” You are a Viking. There are new ways in the land that threaten the Old Way. Your grandmother secretly practices the Old Way, as do all of the people of the hills. The real trouble began the day you arrived at court. Every last nobleman hides a viper in his smile. How you long for the purity of life in your village, which is currently on fire or something.

Started Blackguards myself, apparently I will be ruined by the game later.

That video was worse than Top Gun. Mighty Wings is catchy though.

Another incident with black men getting shot by police

You have some optimism, looking at the bright side in this. -
Announcement of further press. Almost announcement of an announcement, I guess. A teensy bit of gameplay

Lunch time meetings are fun. Especially when lunch is provided to every other office on the conference call than yours. Also when it is essentially someone wanking over the process he created. Sheesh.

Ah I see. I always forget the high purpose a web forum is supposed to hold. Luckily, no shortage of sources for that information here.- 58 replies

Probably not a lot. I guess job stress for the most part. Well unless they have issues before that are just amplified. -

What's the point of games that attempt to emulate real life?

Because my life is that awesome. -

Time to send them to fight ISIS. Ahhh hah! He disobeyed an order to not move. Cops felt their lives were in danger, can't risk it in a situation like that. -
Journalism and sexism in the games industry
Malcador replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Way Off-Topic
One trait I notice with all these articles, the authors wera all console peasants in their youths when they announce "I've gamed since....." It isn't what he means, I hope, but that line reads rather funnily, given that violence is probably higher on the Wrong rankings than the other things. This is rather random. -
Works just fine for me. Starting an Imperial game on huge galaxy setting. I'm immediately overwhelmed with all the options. Deciding it's time again to re-read that manual after all these years. Not quite like riding a bicycle again... Meant my CDs, sorry.

Obviously he didn't.

Tested it out and no dice, not even in compatibility mode, game won't install.

Good I was going to label you as unpatriotic.

Why it is good to marry under a fake identity. Then you fake the death of a nonexistent person to escape the marriage.

Married life sounds like hell.

RPS talks about Battlefleet Gothic Armada http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/01/21/first-look-battlefleet-gothic-armada/

What kind of reaction do you want from those threads ? Pointless diatribes of rage ? At a certain point it becomes akin to leading a firebrand sermon on how 1+1 is indeed 2. Anyway those things are old news, Boko Haram's been butchering people for a long time, Russia returned to being the bogeyman and ISIS are doing what ISIS does best. So the tank is kind of empty there, so to speak.

Well your ego aside, consider the name of the thread I was referencing..
-
Well, if you're going to apply that - pretty much every thread on this one. Who really cares what you did today, after all.

I guess the moderators just suck as they moved so slowly, then.

Always liked Acrid and Alamo best, at least for (obviously) air to air missiles. Was wondering if Russians named their planes, so went wiki wandering. Ended up on - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eritrean%E2%80%93Ethiopian_War Will have to figure out how exactly those countries afforded that war.- 58 replies
