Been reading The Last Wish, the first Witcher book translated into english. I'm really enjoying it. CDProjekt actually did a really good job of adapting the source material. Been reading the Wonderful Wizard of Oz to my daughter. Its a lot shorter than I thought. Kindle estimates it should take me just over 2 hours to finish reading the whole book.

I couldn't get into Mad Men. Breaking Bad seems to be the only one of their acclaimed shows that has actually been able to keep my interest.

Started watchig Broadchurch. I like how they don't just focus on the police investigation but show how the murder affects the family and the rest of the town.

One of the greatest movies ever. Its like A Christmas Story for summertime. Also, this is funny whether you watch the show or not: http://youtu.be/GvGINTSU2AI

Ok, lots of Aveline love. I just usually see her taking crap when DA2 comes up

Is there any way to have a smooth succession? My great Scandinavian Emperor wjo everyone loved died, his son took the throne and spent 2 years bringing his vassals out of negative opinions only for him to die young with a female heir, commence collapse of the empire.

Most of Europe used to be Celtic, maybe we should hand it all back to Ireland?
-
Checking his IMDB page, I think its kind of funny he's credited in World War Z as W.H.O. Doctor.

Am I the only one who liked Aveline?

Race selection was an issue in DA2 because it was a sequel to a game that had it. Where Ultima didn't. Same with Witcher. No one had an issue not playing an elf or dwarf, because it was established that you couldn't.

Aren't the controls pretty much the same as the GTA games? Thats what I found on Xbox.
-
So it seems I got my copy of Crusader Kings 2 for pre-ordering EUIV. Since I bought CK2 like a year ago, does anyone need a copy?

I generally go by user reviews anyway, as critics have been hating on good movies lately. 83% fresh with an average score of 4/5 with 90k reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, 7.7/10 based on 700 reviews on Metacritic. If you like giant robots, giant monsters, or both, you will likely like Pacific Rim.
-
isn't the rotten tomatoes rating like almost 70% Fresh? Reviewers didn't hate it.

The Qunari stuff from acts 1 and 2 I thought was great. After that's resolved, act 3 is just meh. If they had cut out the mages vs templar story and focused on the conflict with the Qunari it might have been a better game. Also, kudos to Bioware for making a character the PC actually really wants to kill, and lets us kill them. Anders was a high point in Awakenings, but it sure was satisfying killing him in DA2. Also Varric.

Enemy Unknown expansion?
-
RoboCop? I'm thinking Obsidian will handle West Coast Fallout games and Bethesda will handle east coast. Then they should tap CDProjekt to do a Europe based one.

Not just online, browser/mobile based

That's correct, this is actually "normal" for a Zim election. The Zimbabwean people also have to contend with political intimidation. But this should only effect maybe 5 % of the total vote. But the fraudulent voting role for me is the main reason why this election is a complete joke and as you mentioned this effects primarily MDC voters I saw a documentary on Mugabe recently that outlined some of the tactics he used in the last election, at least he isnt employing gangs of teenagers to rape women who dont support him this time... that we know of. Its such a shame, if he had stepped down in the 90s he would have been remembered much differently than a desperate dictator.
-
I heard even some people who were on the voters roll were turned away from being able to vote for not being registered, almost all of them MDC supporters.

Back-back the **** up. I thought they said no originally? Are you sure it's not a mod? From the paradox newsletter. They're releasing a conversion tool to allow it.
-
I actually prefer Steam. I've actually bought steam versions of games I already own because its easier than digging out the install discs, and the games install discreetly while I'm doing other stuff.

By the end I wanted to stab someone every time the theme music played. Wow, that is the most famous theme song in the entire Western genre. You might want to question your personal tastes on that one.It was also the only piece of music they played in the entire movie until the very end where they changed it up with ecstasy of gold. The Star Wars theme is pretty damned good, but if that 2 minute piece of music was the only music for the 2 hour runtime and they just kept repeating it, I would probably hate it by the end of the movie too.

Final pre-order bonus for Europa Universalis IV is a copy of Crusader Kings II. Doesn't pretty much everyone who would be buying EUIV already own Crusader Kings II? Cool that you can import your CK2 kingdom into EUIV though.

The (hopefully) attractive women thread.

Can you be Jewish, but not practice Judaism? Can you practice Judasim, but not be Jewish? When someone is described as "Danish" I expect them to be from Denmark. So I find the comparison to be pretty apt. When I hear someone described as Jewish, I expect them to be a practitioner of Judaism. Am I incorrect in this assumption? I have always had the term "Jewish" to Judaism as "Christian" is to Christianity. there's the jewish religion, and the hebrew ethnicity, but the religion and ethnicity are generally interchanged. The names are likely interchangeable because its rare for a Hebrew to not be Jewish, and likewise its rare for a Jew to not be Hebrew.
