Can't edit my post anymore. Such madness.
Just got back from Doc. I'll need a surgical intervention, because my finger bones might rotate. Now that means I am probably out of the game for at least 5 or 6 weeks.
Guess how happy I am about this news...
Yikes, that sounds nasty as hell, I'm sorry to hear that. :/ Hope it works out and that you will heal quicker than so!
You don't happen to know some hot girls that give hugs for free? Darn.My employer doesn't get any extra help because I'm his little b!tch. Or maybe because of budget reasons. Probably both.
What? I'm not good enough for you?
I do know a few hot girls, but they live here in Sweden I'm afraid.
Bah, that sucks, do you have any more vacation time?

Since everybody here is having a vacation I have to do the jobs of two people, and things always get super busy when this happens, as if everyone in the world knew about my situation. I have to ******* do ten things simultaneously.
Kill me.
KILL ME
You want some hugs? I can give you some hugs.
Why does your employer not hire extra help?My sister just squeezed out her kid, and as I expected she's asking if I can take her dog. Little whore.
Story of her life, as soon as she get's something new and shiney infront of her she looses interest in all else. Poor dog.

It's a nice teaser, is'nt it? :D
I intend to share it, but it was a semi long mini campaign that is kind of hard to summarize nicely.

Wanna do a quick summary in the W40K topic? I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes to read about other parties' escapadesDone

A while ago our group finished up our old Only War regiment and the characters associated with it in a glorious way by dropping a high security heretic prison into a magma chamber, so it was decided to start a new regiment.
This newly formed regiment is a bit... experimental... in it's setup, a cavalry "stealth" drop troop company riding flying maaru-beasts is a novel idea if nothing else.
5 players were present, we had two Weapon Specialists with grenade launchers, one Heavy with a RPG, one medic and a ministorium priest.
Since this was their first assignment they got shipped to a Severan Dominate controlled planet where they got settled in, one of the weapon specialists managed to get herself into trouble when her comrade lit up a fat one and she snatched it out of his hands, just in time for an officer to walk in on her. *Trollface*
Once they got their feet on the ground and settled in they were summoned by the company clerk, Faris van Spankelvink, for mission assignment. Tasked with dropping onto a plateau they and their platoon were to take out three artillery pieces covering one of the big passes that led up there. After getting their mission assignment gear and discussing things back and forth it turned out the priest did'nt have a clue how to actually ride the maaru, so they had to use more conventional drop procedures.
They dropped onto the plateau, there was quite alot of incoming AA fire that tore up their ride pretty badly but they chose to jump early so they were quite a bit off course according to the navigator so they had to doubletime it.
The trek through the rocky terrain was hard on the group and they stumbled onto a small patrol from one of the nearby caves, a lightly equipped group of 4 "guardsmen" that nearly managed to kill the group through catastrophically bad rolls and decisions from the players. Who could've thunk supressing fire and grenades would be that handy?
Eventually they managed to get to the ravine and decided to go to the side and rappel down the side and attack the first emplacement from above, they did'nt bother to look for mines and did'nt have an auspex so the pointman managed to quickly walk onto one.
This alerted the camp that sent out a patrol, but for once the group had luck with their rolls and actually managed to keep themselves hidden from the enemy, wich decided it must've been an animal.
Eventually they managed to creep through the minefield to the ledge above the emplacement and climbed down the rockface and started to clear it out, they lucked out and managed to take out the defenders without much noise using melee and a flamethrower only.
They noticed an opening into the mountain and followed it only to find the ammunition depot and loading carts for the guns, and decided to load a couple of carts with rounds of ammunition and democharges and push them down their rails towards the guns, using them as either a distraction or maybe even take out the defenders.
Shortly afterwards they had managed to push the carts to enough speed that they could carry themselves to the emplacements and lit the fuses and ran, since they debated the fusetime and runspeed and such between themselves well enough that they did'nt have to do any technical rolls they got close enough to blow up both the other encampments.
After the shells were exploded they surveyed the massive damage and tried looking for intel and loot, finding neither from the two demolished emplacements, they looted some guns from the first one and pulled out.
Back at base they stashed their loot and reported to the mildly impressed van Spinkelvink of their success, being massively crushed that he was'nt impressed that they had completed their main objective but also dissapointed in them not taking out any AA or finding intel. Bastard.
Overall the players were entertained, but pissed at the dices, but despite all noone died, but the average wounds level after the session was done was -3 or so wounds, even though they had their medic present all the time.
The only person in the group that has some tactical sense decided to play a ministorium priest wich showed on the overall performance of the group, no find 'em, fix 'em, flank 'em or any tactics at all used really. They never really spread out once they had contact, so the enemy did employ supressing fire and their grenades plenty, and noone took the hint. :/
The group was a fun bunch of characters though and I have high hopes for the group. I might be GM'ing another session tomorrow or so, but maybe the other GM(The ministorium priest) will host instead and let me play.

Still dealing with my right hand. Getting through the day is so slow and painfully boring. I can't do anything that is fun and watching stupid TV all day kills me.
I tried looking for some lefthanded games for you to play, but they seemed to really need the right hand for... other activities.
Because your right hand is temporarily disabled you can't do anything fun? I played soccer when my right arm was in a cast due to my broken elbow. I went cycling and hiking with one arm.
Playing football with a broken elbow can't be a good idea, you're one small step away from breaking it again.
Just came home from my friends place, GM'd some WH40K Only War. I decided to ride my bike to town so that I would'nt have to walk all the way home in the middle of the night... I should've walked.
It was warm enough outside that I don't cool off when I'm going fast and the blistering sun did'nt help. I must have lost litres of water after that, and it did take quite a while before my face stopped being just crazy red from the heat.
The effort was'nt that bad, it's about 10km to town, though I was quite tender in my legs both when I got to town, and now that I'm home, but the lack of any easy way to cool off is the most annoying part.
Oh, and I'm pretty certain my arse is bruised. Because, pain, lots and lots of pain!!

Broke my right hand yesterday when falling from my bike.
It hurts.
Damn, that sucks :/ How long are you going to have a cast?
-
No, don't think so, they could break glass windows and wooden fences I think, for certain they could destroy shrubbery - but not doors or such hard objects. Other explosives could though, like lockbreaker packs or you just demolished it with C4 or dynamite.

So a green bucktooth half-orc is sexy but a BLACK GUY is just unacceptable. I mean, isn't it quite clear your fiend views black people as sub human when a literal half human is viewed as more attractive than THE BLACK GUY.
Maybe she's from the deep south?

The first screenshot actually shows a X and an A, so obviously they've upgraded the games mechanics.

Gah! Ninja'd this time!
The version 0.0.0.0.01 footage in the media section looks rough and is far from indicative of the final product, but if it goes the Planetside 2 route then I have high hopes for it.
Otherwise...coooome onnnnnn Harlequin class for the Eldar!
It does look rough, but as you say it's very early footage. I'm with you on the PS2 bit, that would be a most delightful game to copy as it has all the right ingredients. They'd mesh well.
I do like the faction choices they've presented, I wonder how they will represent the Tyranid hive mind...

You will be able to choose how muhc player-player interaction you want. You can even play fully offline if you want.

Nice, I hope that the "You won't get the developer injected events" part does'nt mean you only get to fly around watching pretty systems but that you can still do some simple missions and such.
On another note;

I bet you can guess what I recommend to boost ones immune system? I've been sick only once in 9 years. Get better! And drink tons of water.
Well, I've always had a ****ty immunesystem, even when I was in my best shape. I heard an epidemiologist speak about those things, and she said that generally speaking the immunesystem is the last thing that is affected - the rest of the body be damned. But having good physique makes it easier to stand it.
Thanks, and I have been, water and tea. With honey, 'cause damn that throat.

elite:d
:drool:
yes, this will be the perfect game to just enjoy the wastness of space and do nothing else.
I just hope that there will be a singleplayer component to let you do that, I get enough of player-player interaction in WoW.
-
Meh, I've managed to attract one hell of a cold; sore throat, nasty cough, blocked nose - ****ing everything. Same with a friend of mine, but he got better by now, I've been ill since monday and I've getting worse. -.-
I ****ing hate my immunesystem.

Jadedmeister, I can't comment on the Netherlands but in South Africa we Pet Psychics and Pet Behavioral experts ( Pet Psychologists ) who do claim to understand what is going on in the mind of pets. So don't dismiss the fact that pets have feellings and thoughts too that correlate at times with ours
Well, I doubt that they have any special connection with the animals, but I know for certain that they have a connection with your wallet. Sort of like a leach.

Quite frankly CryTek seems to be one of those companies that you don't hear a lot from, they just seem to disappear for a while.
Still, I doubt that one blunder(Ryse) is enough to make them go under. Plus they still have a few major contracts (Ubisoft for example) they don't make enough games that would justify a massive expenditure. Its quite possible that they are able to break even.
Well, they have 800 employees according to that article that was posted, so I don't have any troubles seeing them having a hard time financially with those numbers.

Oh yeah, thats a good idea. Also don't forget to cross your arms and stare at walls like an upset schoolgirl when the love happens.
I did get to use that frown later at the night when people started to discuss their bedroom habits and fantasies. DAYMN... O.O
It did end up being a good party, except that there was some "dropin" people that came by, so the party went from 9 to 15 people.
I did get gloriously drunk though even after eating copious amounts of food and the weather was decent enough so that we could sit outside all day. My biggest complaint about the location was the really lame arse stereo system and that my "bed" was a leather sofa...
Lots of talking and ofcourse fun and games, pool and beer pong amongst others.

You're probably thinking of the SVD-Dragunov. Not really an AK but close, fires the larger 7.62x54r.
The pic is so funny because the eye relief of scopes is about 10-12 centimeters. Since its mounted on the handguard its absolutely completely useless. That guy found a way to make his AK even more inaccurate. With a scope. Now thats irony right there.
No it was an AK with an integrated night vision sight. Or it was a made up thing.
Could've been an AN-94 with a fixed scope or an VSS Vintorez rifle. Depending on the game and so on you could've found one with a NV upgrade.

Yes, a circuit breaker for the staircase only. It engaged automatically with the typical sound of a light bulb exploding. I disengaged the circuit breaker and none of the lights worked except one lamp outside next to the entrance door. Tried the switch several times, nothing happened. I assumed that all the light bulbs went to hell.
Now everything works fine, the bulbs and the lamps too.
What could cause a temporary electrical problem?
The bulb might not have been seated properly in the fixture, the sound you heard might've just been the spark from electricity making a small jump in switch or the fixture. Easily mistaken sound in the middle of the night.
One of the most common things I did suring my internship as an electrician was screwing in the lightbulbs properly.
It could also be the switch itself that is giving up, though that is more rare. But since you said you had several lights it might be that, or there is something wrong with the fusebox I suppose.
You might want to check the fixtures themselves aswell, they might be a bit worn down if they are old.
Was it the ground fault interruptor that engaged or the fuse itself?
Cleaning up after a big party - I'm turning 30 tomorrow!
But seriously that's kinda a strange thought heh
Happy birthday!

So what are you gonna do when they start making out? Hug a pillow? Make a sad face?
I'm thinking about frowning disapprovingly. Think that might work? :D
They specifically formed the party to your tastes and you still don't want to go?
Well, yeah, as I said, it's going to be 4 couples there! 4 couples and alcohol, what can go wrong?
My friends are awesome people, but two of the girls happen to be sisters, and they're not exactly happy about that crossover.
Go. Its not like you can't leave if you're not having fun.
Unless its, like, a kidnapping themed party or something.
Heh, it might aswell be since it's going to be held on midsummers eve 60 km away, so it's kind of hard to leave at that point.
I wouldn't go to the party, in my experience when friends come to parties with their partners they're completely different people (less fun), and if you are the only single you're going to get kind of sidelined which then becomes boring and/or awkward. YMMV
I'm not terribly worried about them being different people, since we have all met at the same time and such, just not with alcohol involved and I was'nt the... uhm... ninth wheel? I'm pretty certain that I will be sidelined though as you said.
