At the start of the tourney I was looking forward to Belgium v. England. Now it's shaping up to be a real stinker. I guess we'll see if either team shows up. Maybe it'll be an all third stringers foul fest?

But that was kind of true with BG 1&2 as well; once you cleared most maps they went dead and you could sleep fairly safely.

I have to say, watching the Copa América in 2016 was an absolute blast. The level of competition was truly intense, so I'm really hoping Columbia makes it through. Ed.: Ah, they did. Good then.

If I'm reading this right, we had a trade deficit with Russia last year. In fact, the last US trade surplus with Russia was 1993. https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c4621.html#2017 That doesn't seem to be a problem for Trump though. Hmm.

But the good random encounters were also scripted. The developers just need to fool us into thinking the scripted encounters are random, or at least semi-random, so it feels unpredictable.

Trump-Putin summit: What do you suppose Putin will ask for in exchange for his help in the upcoming mid-terms election? Muahahaha...

Yes, the whole Kickstarter mechanic for generating the dungeon levels kind of backfired a bit in making Endless Paths longer than it needed to be. I prefer fewer, broader levels that emphasize the three dimensional nature of the dungeon.

Russia faces Spain in the round of 16. Russian fans better get started making noise outside Spain's hotel right away...

I wonder if the team doctor brought enough ear plugs?

Apparently the Iran fans were trying to make a ruckus outside Portugal's hotel last night in order to gain an advantage. Classy bunch. http://www.businessinsider.com/ronaldo-hotel-room-quiets-iran-fans-portugal-match-2018-6

A possible bonus would be a godlike-only Special Ability that allows you to scale up the racial benefits. I.e. you can become ever more attuned to your divine nature, amplifying the bonuses.

*NO SPOILERS*

Supernatural: A girl, curious about monsters seen on TV, asks, "What's a Kardashian?" Dean responds, "Oh, that's just another blood sucker."

Perhaps it only provides fire protection to the head? Dunno.

Yes, each of the DLCs have shown up as 'Not Installed' even after I download it. When I toggle the check box under the PoE2 Library page's DLC list, it seems to do another download then changes the state to Installed.

Naked-mole rat... the horror... the horror.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few higher level abilities that provide themed sets of Wizard spells across multiple spell levels. E.g. fire, acid, cold, charm, darkness, &c.

Hmm. Where are all the people who loath respawning enemies?
