Raithe

Alas, many innocent threads gave their life.... I've actually spent the weekend doing as little as possible beyond chilling, reading, poking at a few games and that sort of thing. Letting my legs recover. My bank balance might thank me by the time Christmas arrives, but I'm not sure my feet will forgive me - averaging that 20-25km walk every shift has definitely been a new experience. Plus, five weeks of this might not have been the best of time to break in new boots.

Or if you want to spend a chunk of time listening... A nearly 2 hour performance from the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra of video game music. (Aired on SVT2 (Swedish national public TV broadcaster) at 2016-01-30. The concert starts at 05:25.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PkdLMIz-Ys Journey - I Was Born For This: 06:00 Assains Creed IV: Black Flag - Suite: 14:05 Amiga Medley: 19:30 Final Fantasy IX - Suite: 28:40 The Last Of Us - All Gone No Escape: 38:10 Super Mario Suite (17 different parts!) - 42:15 Bloodborne - Suite: 53:40 Megaman - Suite: 1:02:15 The Legend Of Zelda - Suite: 1:11:54 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Dragonborn Comes - 1:31:05 Final Fantasy VI - Aria The Mezzo Carattere: 1:37:55

There's a reason I put it in the "funny things" section rather than a serious news thread....

Bohemian Rhapsody makes a gritty crime thriller... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJO7bcRVPvI

Ah, to me it's more of a "what do you do with a dead scientist?" "bury them" On to the other...

If it was the standard "some engineering thing has gone wrong with the ship / ships reactor / ships engines that will kill us all" would it be as noticeable as "the living ship is dying because of x"?

Similar, I read my first RA Salvatore one years ago and got into it. Originally Drizzt was an interesting character, and the trilogies and sequel trilogies made a nice advance of how adventuring characters can grow and get involved in bigger things over time. Unfortunately, I think the burn out occurs when Drizzt went from an interesting part of the ensemble to a heavy philosophising major part of every story. That, and how much it inspired clichés and power gamers and suddenly "renegade drow" seemed to turn up everywhere from players.
