Watching that, I really have no idea how to layout a town. Was my problem in Caesar where I made some truly horrible areas (in 3 it was fun to have slums by design...you need cheap plebe labor rather than rich patrician layabouts)

It is nice to get new legendaries so often, seems the best way to do it is to just play through the entire game from start to finish. Get a lot of whites & grays too for salvaging (though I don't have any really impressive recipes). Also 50% XP boost for everyone until RoS launches, so that's handy for my monk as I'm pushing her to 60.

Confederate battle flag (always thought it was Stars and Bars, wrong version) in Ukraine, who'd have imagined that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Russia Yup, finally got around to checking that, will have to look up the branch codes of the forces as a final check but seems legit. But you'll have to pardon me for not taking random images at face value

The twist there was the lack of an ambush during that long, slow, elevator ride down that big hole.

Assuming that stuff about the licence plates is correct, anyhow.

Well obviously, so, just had to chuckle at them going ahead with it - caused quite a stir on the reddit thread I was reading.

Heh, almost got into a fistfight when some baby in a suit started crying about a delay (turns out it was some guy assaulting a driver on the streetcar ahead). What made it funnier was he starting crying about...2-3 minutes into the delay.

Were there people bitching a lot about the delay?

Because he wanted the answers people already gave, badass.

Harper wishes he could do that. Well...nearly can anyway.

And now, they decide to test an ICBM, hah.

That was well written.

Ahh, he said Russian troops. Nothing about Russian gear.

Heh, Putin now saying no Russian forces in Crimea.

Coworker shamed the office manager into looking into getting a coffee maker, I guess I should have been more brazen and done that sooner! Put a bowl up for donations for a coffee fund. I did rather noisily dump a bunch of pennies in it yesterday though. Probably will get rejected anyway, then they can say they have data that proves it wasn't enough to warrant a purchase.

Well, just pointing out that it's not 'most', so not sure what your last sentence is on about. But you also have to consider the unhappy speak louder than the rest, as well, like with games, heh.

Well, if it were realistic I'd have encountered it by now, most have been pretty socially capable and decent enough people overall regardless of their gender. Though I suppose some are overly no-nonsense, which some can't handle.

Grinding through Diablo 3. After never seeing legendaries before, now I'm getting a lot. Most recent one summons a pack of killer cows, seeing them beat on Diablo was fun.

That's some view of men working in STEM that they are mostly 'nerd boys' and are socially inept and 'entitlement issue-laden' (which I suppose one can work anything into).

I get the sense that Candyland isn't really a nice place....

Well, then I doubt they'd care that they're gone even more so and not bother leaving the Ukraine alone for it!

Can't be in demand all that much domestically if they're for sale abroad, no ?

True, but both sides have reasons to lie. Though, with the Russians' strong stance I'd imagine they just openly issue the ultimatum.

Likewise for the other side.
