What was Aces brothel, do tell ? Well, lol, it all started out with Ace, Amentep, and moriveth adopting girl avatars and became "working girls". Eventually a few others joined, me included. Had some ridiculous shenanigans going on. Lots of opposition from some of the bis members, but Overseer allowed it. I still have some of the thread on file. LC saved as much as he could before BIS closed its doors for good. That must have been hilarious, good one

What is the aversion to the game being online, Im sure there are several reasons but what would your reasons be? I dont have a problem with this type of design strategy but I may be missing something

But DA4 isnt RIP, its been recreated according to the article. See the quote below " A tiny team stuck around to work on a brand new Dragon Age 4, code-named Morrison, that would be built on Anthem’s tools and codebase. It’s the game being made now. Unlike Joplin, this new version of the fourth Dragon Age is planned with a live service component, built for long-term gameplay and revenue. One promise from management, according to a developer, was that in EA’s balance sheet, they’d be starting from scratch and not burdened with the two years of money that Joplin had already spent. Question was, how many of those ideas and prototypes would they use? "

In a very real sense the video games industry seems over-saturated. It does feel like that at times, we are almost overwhelmed by choice I suppose you can see it as " glass as half-full " , it reminds me of all the available TV shows...you cant watch\play everything so you just have to be selective I must have about 20 games I have yet to play on Steam ...Im bad I know

https://www.jpost.com/Israel-Elections/Netanyahu-Likud-is-losing-election-Left-is-going-to-win-586264 As most of you are probably aware Israel is voting today and its very close between Likud and the Blue and White party which is more centrist and wants to take Israel in a different political direction than Netanyahu ....he has predicted Likud may even lose but this could just be fear mongering Interesting election to observe for the region

http://orchardsvenue.com/ One of my brothers is getting married next weekend at this venue so this last weekend we had the Bulls\Hens parties and I have been assisting with preparations where applicable...like helping buy the alcohol as we staying for the weekend so there are activities planned outside the official wedding Its going to be a great event and we all very excited

I have tried duck, turkey, ostrich and beef bacon on my trips to the ME because all the hotels I stayed in never served normal bacon due to religious restrictions For me all those pseudo-bacons are definitely edible and almost look like bacon but due to the lack of fat they lack the delectable and truly decadent taste of pork....nothing is a substitute for normal bacon

Thanks for the review, I'll definitely be skipping this one

I noticed that series as well, keep us updated around what you think about it at the end

My first PC game was Kings Quest 1 in 1988, I have to admit I didnt purchase it but that was due to Apartheid sanctions so we could only use pirated copies on.....floppie disks, remember those ? I loved that game I also remember the graphics were EGA and we had to constantly hack the config.sys (I think that was it) to allocate more memory to all those early Sierra games like Police Quest and Space Quest.

You are using the term "Nazi" the wrong way. Like... always. Is this supposed to be an universal thought terminating cliché or do you just have no idea what being a Nazi actually means and entails? TN speaks the truth, its Volo. Never get upset by his incorrect usage of words. Its not personal

I started watching on Netflix an Australian TV series called Glitch, its excellent and very compelling. Its about a small backwater town where a group of people return from the dead...it may sound absurd but I am really enjoying how the show portrays this type of bizarre phenomena and how normal people react to the mystery of whats going on

But if someone is bad at there job this needs to be addressed even if the person is a minority and initially they were the first in a particular role, there other others who can take her place

What has he done that has irked you so ? I like Trudeau but Im not sure everything he has done is as helpful to the SJ cause as I use to believe

I just finished the second season of OA and it was brilliant, the summary below from Wikipedia is a good encapsulation of the vast improvement of the second season Jesse Scheden of IGN gave The OA: Part II a score of 8.8 out of 10, saying the season is "bigger, more ambitious and much weirder than its predecessor". Amanda Bell of TV Guide gave the season a positive review, saying that "the show isn't meant for everyone, but for true believers in the OA, Part II will be a welcome fellow-up to the first." Rachel Syme of The New Republic praised the season, labeling the show as "the best, most inaccessible show on television", saying that "[she wishes] more television was this unafraid to leave its audiences fumbling for understanding."

How much of it would be recoverable though? If that's the estimated recoverable amounts, that's not very much compared to most of the world. Though the natural gas field sounds like it'd be one of the larger ones out there. Probably too late for Afghanistan to jump on the oil train, but it could still be part of a diverse economy since it's pretty rich in other mineral resources. Also investing in Afghanistan for most global oil and gas companies is simply not worth the investment due to the risk , the country is far too unstable due to the interminable belligerence and destabilizing actions of the Taliban who still want the country to be governed like some medieval, barbaric, anachronistic fiefdom where they can practice there own corrupted form of Islam

This is the actual conundrum or real debate which I still think staying in the EU is worth it considering access to the single market and the immense economic benefits this brings But of course if you want to create an economic and political union of separate countries you have to accept certain aspects of sovereignty will be sacrificed and you need to accept certain laws and regulations driven from a central government structure. Other countries have tried to create models like the EU and they have failed, like the African Union and the Arab League because there is no consistency with laws, governance and more importantly enforcing of the laws of these unions It would be very hard for most Americans to agree to this because your federal system, despite its challengers, does work and delivers real examples of prosperity and quality of life for many Americans. You dont need anymore federal influence in the affairs of states and I doubt it would be accepted in many US states And obviously the political models are fundamentally different due to several reasons like the USA being one country. Not a myriad of countries before the formation of the EU that initially had many differences like language, constitutions, currency and views around trade

I am very impressed with the effort you put in so your partner is able to understand and enjoy this ostensibly complex series, nice one

I meant to comment on this earlier, he needs be treated leniently or get a full pardon IMO I have major issues with soldiers from the various coalitions in Afghanistan or Iraq being charged with war crimes or controversial behavior unless the evidence is irrefutable like in the case of Abu Ghraib. Why do I say this, the sectarian groups and other extremist groups involved in these conflicts have never respected the Geneva Convention and have constantly committed egregious war crimes so we just need to be fair when it comes to actions of US soldiers under such conditions when dealing with enemies like ISIS, Shia extremists and AQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse

Do betting places even take bets for certain things? We dont want the UK to leave with no deal, it wont be good for anyone. Its funny but my family members who live in London and are all bankers normally demonstrate such prudence and restraint around global events, they never panic and arent prone to hyperbole. They voted no to leave but now they are confused and incredibly frustrated...I feel sorry for them because I do believe there is way forward that the UK parliament needs to implement. They should have another referendum with 3 choice and honestly let the people decide due to the gridlock and paralysis of the UK government around getting agreement and consensus. These 3 choices should be Leave with no deal Leave with Teresa Mays deal Dont leave After this vote then everyone needs to accept the outcome and finally deliver on it Advisory referendums are just bad form of political point collecting especially when only half of the voting population votes and result is close victory for one side of simplified question of complex issue. I don't believe that another close call referendum especially with three choices will make anything better, even though it could look solution for UK's parliament's dead lock state, but as that dead lock means that UK will leave without deal from EU, it isn't necessary thing where you need panic referendum. Currently question is if UK's parliament's non-hard-liners can come in agreement of do they want leave with existing trade deals, stay on EU or let hard-liners win with their deadlock strategy. In all the cases it is highly likely that people will not like their decision and/or its results. I hear you, here is a good thread that supports your view around the data https://www.bbc.com/news/politics/eu_referendum/results But just to clarify my point, there are 66 million people in the UK and only about 34 million voted. So yes only 50 % of the total population participated in the referendum ...and the yes Vote only won by 3 % which is exactly why I feel such a critical and important decision as leaving the EU needs reassessment, now that we have new information around BREXIT. The reality is the original strategy around BREXIT was lacking in understanding and the consequences of leaving, done unintentionally, weren't properly explained to the UK citizens which is why I support another and final referendum

I have been deciding if I should start watching The Order, I do like supernatural series but only if the intended audience is suppose to be adult I am on episode 3 of season 2 of OA and I recommend it, dont you want to see where Prairie ended up after the school incident finale ..there are some interesting plot twists that make season 2 worthwhile so far

Not really, I think there is real concern with political and social problems in the EU and even if we dont agree with some of the views as they may appear to be extreme these concerns cant be ignored...like border control and unregulated immigration. By ignoring them all we do is encourage populism and misconceived notions about " leaving the EU due to sovereignty objectives " Several years ago I made a point, albeit badly , that " there is no leaving the EU ". I didnt mean it literally, I meant the huge economic and political cost is simply not worth it...its pure economics and that should always be the first consideration with these types of national decisions. I did think the UK would be able to leave with some pain but the problems with BREXIT and the calamitous way the UK parliament has handled BREXIT unfortunately and unequivocally has revealed jut how complicated these decisions can become ( and I dont blame Teresa May, she didnt even vote for BREXIT ) Do betting places even take bets for certain things? We dont want the UK to leave with no deal, it wont be good for anyone. Its funny but my family members who live in London and are all bankers normally demonstrate such prudence and restraint around global events, they never panic and arent prone to hyperbole. They voted no to leave but now they are confused and incredibly frustrated...I feel sorry for them because I do believe there is way forward that the UK parliament needs to implement.

Im very excited about this game and its a definite purchase for me .... and damn those Vampire ladies are hot
