Weird News Stories
I am working in a team of 12 women. I am one of 5 men in the whole building and It's awesome. Being young and in school (or something similar) and the only male in class sounds even more awesome, to be honest.

What are you playing now?
I wonder why everyone wants importing saves so hard. Me personally, I couldn't care less about it, especially because such a feature will never have big impact on the game.

I'm amazed to hear that they do. https://www.google.com/search?q=skyrim+best+writing+award&oq=skyrim+best+writing+award&aqs=chrome..69i57.4325j0j8&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 Google's not coming up with anything of the sort for Skyrim. http://www.gamechoiceawards.com/archive/writing.html Fallout 3. I did think it was more than one of their games. *shrug* Though it was funny seeing people praise the Skyrim Thieves Guild questline here and there after I read Shamus Young's breakdown of how stupid the questline is. http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=14422 Heh, that quest made me lol. By the way: I actually think this could be quite funny at the end of players life. There are so many quests in the game that apparently link you up with some god after your death that when you finally die, you would have all these gods trying to get your soul. It just screams for a super big clusterfck and I am highly interested in what the outcome would be.

I'd say one must watch Fight Club and then wait a few months. Then you watch it again and realize how your world is breaking together.

Did some Rome 2 again. With the latest beta patch, some things actually changed a lot for the better now. For real.

Re-watched Tremors yesterday. I like all the 4 movies and will continue with Tremors 2 now.

What are you playing now?
Is that the original? I don't recall a Brenda's Lab in the second. (If so, what's the original like compared to the second?) Definitely the original. It is much rougher than JA2, but it has quite a bit of charm to it. JA1 and JA2 play quite different though, because JA2 added all the stuff like soldier stances, "real" travel on worldmap at any time, training militia, etc. If JA1 would have been released last year and JA2 this year, people would rage about the heresy and all the changes. :>

That looks pretty good. Makes me wish to have the skills to do stuff like this too.

Watched Kick Ass 2. Not a bad movie. Was pretty much what I've expected.

Middle age parent digging your kids cartoons? Here's a thread for you!
Watched the first season too by now, and I feel the same. They tried a bit too hard most of the time and the end felt really weak. It could have been a quite good story, imo, but they rushed and apparently had to finish it already in season 1. Also there was no real character progression. Just fan-service with characters from the original Avatar show.

Finished the ArmA3 campaign episode 2. It could have been really good if there wouldn't have been so many wtf moments for me... Most annoying thing: The ai of my squad members. Running out of ammo and there are so many dead bodies around me, yet when I tell them to pick up a gun, they run into the sundown to whatevertown. Or when they lockup in combat and by the love of god just don't want to retreat. Well, so far it is still better than the ArmA2 campaign.

The World's End. Was ok-ish. Not bad, but I wouldn't want to watch it again anytime soon. But I want to listen to the Sisters of Mercy now.

What are you playing now?
Strange, I don't think that I got a link with a code to get the game. Do I get a mail with that stuff or do I have to login somewhere? Can't find anything about it right now. Reminds me that in theory I even had beta access... /Edit: Ok, found something about it. Had to go to www.humblebundle.com then scroll down to the bottom and click the "lost key" link. Then I typed in my kickstarter mail and connected my account with steam.

Pictures of your games Part 3
My Skyrim dude, called Gaius. I'll guess he is something like a frumentarius, though, sometimes I find it strange that stormcloacks are surprised I am with the imperials, even though I am running around in imperial armor almost all the time... This game seriously lacks a disguise system similar to that in New Vegas.

What you did today
I did something really stupid last week... I took on a job without checking how long I need to travel for it each day and yesterday evening I realized that... everything sucks. It's a 38 hours job with really ****ty pay, and as I don't have a car, I need to take the bus, which means a waste of 3 hours per day just for that. I'll have to get up really early in the morning (which isn't a big problem to me) and yet I won't be home before approx 19 o clock in the evening (this is a huge problem to me) or even 20 o clock, if it is a bad luck day and I miss a bus by 1 minute. Then I'll have to make food and shortly after that it's pretty much bed time already... God damn timed employment trash. I hate it so much. You earn like no money at all and even though it is a fulltime job, I still need additional social money from the state. If I'd get twice the amount of money, then I might be fine with the huge amount of time I'll have to spend on that job, but this? This is a bad joke. I've experienced such a situation already once in the past and I know what happens next: The week over I will not have time for anything anymore and on weekend I feel too tired and weak to do anything other than sleeping and sitting around. No wonder nobody is motivated anymore to go to work. It's just not worth it. I am 26 now, but I'll have to deal with such crap. It just doesn't get me forward, there is no progression at all. And the worst is, I wrote job application for such jobs already in the past, yet I never had much luck- but when the timed employment firm suggests me to those firms, I'll get the job without them thinking longer than an hour about it... for half the pay, if at all. I am so pissed right now, I could destroy lots of stuff and probably still wouldn't feel any better.

Skyrim Mods
I've tried this Skywind / Morrowind in Skyrim mod, and I'll have to say that it looks pretty cool already. There is still *a lot* that needs to be done, though.

Middle age parent digging your kids cartoons? Here's a thread for you!
I don't watch tv very often, but when I zap around and Spongebob is running, I usually stick with it for a while. Avatar was pretty good. I liked it till the end, especially after mid-season 2, when everything was going down the ****ter. Didn't know they made a new show in the same universe. Will check it out, I'll guess.
