Yes. Thanks. It's Douglas Adams' fault.

John Lee Hooker - Live At The Caf

I bought this player. It cost me 170

Last Friday I got my first MP3 player, and it has a 20Gig hard drive. This of course, has prompted me to turn my CD collection into MP3 files. I'm still nowhere near to filling up the thing, but already am I dreading the moment when I won't be able put more files in the player. So far, this is what I've got on the player: Amorphis - Elegy Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde Cake - Motorcade Of Generosity Cake - Comfort Eagle Cake - Fashion Nugget Genesis - Selling England By The Pound Grinderman Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days Iron & Wine - The Creek Drank Down The Cradle Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Led Zeppelin - IV Metallica - Master Of Puppets Moonspell - Irreligious Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Let Love In NOFX - Heavy Petting Zoo Nouvelle Vague - Bande A Part Nouvelle Vague - Nouvelle Vague Ornatos Violeta - C

Was that aimed at me?

Don't you dare...

Sand is against marriage. However, I'm betting most women in Iowa are the marrying kind, which would mean that the chances of Sand passing his genes to someone would be kind of slim. As such, I think a "...and there was much rejoicing" is in order. :D

Mark Hamill's hair colour is brown but it's a very light brown that almost passes off as blonde. Perhaps that's the source of the confusion.

For a regular FPS it's fairly story driven. That doesn't mean a whole lot, though. But as I'm not a fan perhaps I should shut up.

New website. Check out the feature on the shotgun.

Well, yes, but not in EU2's 2D map.

I've done some checking and the terrain appears to affect the movement of units on it. As such, units will, for example, walk around mountains.

EU1's interface was awful.

Cake - You Part The Waters

Who started humming Chrono Trigger's "Frog's Theme" when they entered the page?

I thought Portugal was orange.

I've played it for a few minutes and reached the following conclusions: The 3D map is completely pointless, and it feels like it was implemented just so that they could advertise the game as being 3d. Personally, aesthetically speaking, I liked the 2D from the previous games better. The tutorials are of the "read text" variety as opposed to the "learn as you play" variety. I guess it may help some people that have played previous Paradox games. However, I think someone new to the game will gather exactly bugger all from going through the tutorials. As for the game itself, I only played it for a year, but from what I saw, the military works as before, colonizing works as before and trade works a before. Diplomacy however, seems to be a bit deeper, giving you more options at least than it did in EU1. The overall nation controls are another part of the game that seem to have more options. Specifically, I don't remember the advisor screen, and the religious toleration screen. Of course EU3 will be made or broken by the quality of the AI, and as such I'll have to delve deeper into the game to see how the AI dares.

The idiots have the Start Menu shortcut pointing to eu3.exe, instead of eu3demo.exe.

I'm installing the game right now.
