Monte Carlo

I'm going to order the CE for dat drinking horn. Edit - it was cheaper than what I dropped on my PoE collector's edition - but look at the merch! Watch and learn, Obsidian.

Ha ha CA are simply doing what GW have done since the 1980s... screw fans for a new army. They prey on OCD completionists. But now it's digital, not plastic.

I'm still getting a ham sandwich vibe, maybe I'll watch some of it on Twitch or something.

I am interested in forum feedback too, as the picture out there in review land is very, very mixed. I like H&S tunnel-fighting, so it should appeal but will await more opinions. Am very busy right now, it would have to be speshul for me to pay full price as opposed to waiting for a Steam Sale.

Remember the 'Wipe Your OS' bug that it came as a free add-on?

You are very cynical. I like that.

You are blatantly trying to elicit my view on the subject, Bruce. Stop trolling. Maybe you can offer up that multi-million pound flat of yours in central London for a family of refugees.

I've got 65 dwellers in my Fallout Vault. Now I'm getting Deathclaw attacks and happiness is slipping as they slaughter their way through the complex. Bastards.

The combat still looks like more fun than Pillars of Eternity's.

Epic off-topicality detected.

Chilloutman wins, hope you have fun.

Hello friends, Does anyone want a free Steam key for Company of Heroes 2 'The Western Front Armies?' I've got a spare. It gives you the base game with OKW (German) and American army factions if you don't own CoH2. If you've already got the base game it simply adds these factions. Add your name, first out of a hat wins. Unless you write a neat WW2 haiku, whereupon your chance of being first out of the hat increases exponentially. Monte.

Fallout Vault (Android). It's great fun.

What's the hourly rate in your troll factory, Oby? I bet it's peanuts, what with the rouble tanking an' all. Edit http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/the-number-of-russian-troops-killed-or-injured-fighting-in-ukraine-seems-to-have-been-accidentally-published-10472603.html

The Man in the High Castle was too much for me, I find PKDs style pretty inpenetrable.

War on the Rocks is a favourite site of mine, here's a groovy little article on urban warfare... http://warontherocks.com/2015/08/warchives-urban-warfare-back-in-the-day/

I'm a platinum belt in beer-jitsu. All you need is a bar and some money.

I don't need an excuse to post a Scarlett J picture, do I?

I know lots of people going to Greece. They think next year will be too expensive so they're heading off to the islands now.

Pimms. Lots and lots of Pimms.

Edge is OK, actually, but I'm sticking with Opera.

I'm having a pretty positive experience with it, I've got a new ultrabook arriving soon and i'll be upgrading immediately.

China's screwed. The Kommunists can't order their economic problems away. Monte says -

Some pulpy sci-fi, some Alan Furst, finished the 'Wolfhound Century' trilogy I was raving about a few pages back. Also finished an odd piece of speculative fiction, 'Europe in Autumn' which is a whimsical piece of near-future espionage with some parallel universe schtick. I enjoyed it. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18143945-europe-in-autumn I've been writing more than I've been reading to be honest, I want to re-read the Black Company but apparently the Kindle version is appallingly formatted.
