Today I got eliminated in our blood Bowl league. Mostly because I am a good sport, and when the other team was down I didn't spend the rest of the game fouling to kill even more players. We played overtime and ended that with a score of 6 - 6. Penalties (a d6 roll since there had to be a winner) the other team won My team walked off the pitch, the opponents had to be carried off. If that's victory... Yesterday though it was snowing. Now I am trying to upload gifs of the snowfall. Using you lot as test subjects

Trying to slog through DA:I, but I am losing more and more interest.

You'd think people in Sweden were used to snow

I think Malcador's version makes more sense Ωwomentep has a ring to it.

Obvious alts... MelkathII, MelkathIII, MelkathIV, MelkathV, MelkathVI ? Good idea! Mine was to do evil twins for forum regulars; FalseNeutral. Yesnek, Burglar Cat etc. I am not sure how to do the opposite for the Amen in Amentep or the Vietcong in BruceVC. Stallionshuteyese would probably have made people groan.

That is commitment. Don't stop until you are 100% finished with the task you had set out to complete.

I was going to make a lot of obvious alts here, but I couldn't come up with funny things to discuss as these alts.

Maybe she was drunk

I looked at my desktop yesterday and noticed the shortcut for DA:I. Nearly played a bit. Then decided to just go to bed early for a change and slept for 11 hours. I needed that Saw a cool hoover in my dream, shaped like Bub/Bob from Bubble Bobble. I'll have to look into making that. The internet would love it.

Happy New Year! here in Athens the mayor was supposed to do the countdown, but it's the third time in a row where he failed to notice it was time for the countdown. Last year he tried to rush ina quick 3 2 1, this year it was several minutes until the people on stage realized they had one job to do... and had failed to do it

You are a madman - you are just grinning like yourself then

Tried out the retro-effects they added to Age of Barbarian.

Thanks for the warning

Said it before, will say it again (as you can't stop me ) I felt that Wings of Liberty was the only one written with an actual eye on the Galaxy and leaving the possibility of future content. There was no "The scourge killed ALL elves. But we need elves now so when we said ALL and you thought how epic the scourge was, we didn't mean all as in every last one of them. This group survived. And when we meant this group survived because they fled their homeland, we didn't mean that the ones in the homeland died. Because actually, now that we need elves to be part of the game, kinda... they all lived so be a blood elf in the MMO" that Blizzard likes to do. And which Heart of the Swarm was closer to with Kerrigan's hand waving "Brood Mother XYZ, take your brood and wipe out that planet because I am grimdark evul lolz". The doctor and her zergcure I always felt was put in for two reasons. One to create the situation TrueNeutral described. Two, so that if they ever decide they will return to SC in an MMO format or if Heart of the Swarm needed talking infected npcs, the colony could be used to provide those, as the cure would not have worked, but left them free of overmind control.

Wings of Liberty was quite well written. Definitely better than any other Blizzard game (though that is not in itself an achievement). The love story was a bit too central perhaps, but the dialogue flowed well, the story made sense, and most importantly was devoid of the excessive need for ridiculous "epic" that is so prevalent (especially in blizzard games). heart of the Swarm in comparison was drivel.

Waiting for my NES Classic Mini Thingie to arrive.

Yeah, I want guard on hit for my dual wield rogue. Can you actually farm for fade-touched materials? I was afraid you only got a specific number in the game (devs seem to love doing that in games these days).

You'll have to leave at some point and return later for the very final region of Hinterlands I am afraid. I came back at lvl 14 for the lvl 18 loot :/ Other than that, picture that frame from Toy Story: Elfroot, elfroot everywhere.

Why are people in RPGs idiots? We get surprised by a HUGE army. And I wonder "Didn't we have sentries? Scouts?" After the battle one NPC says "You must blame me for all the deaths." "No, I blame the bad dude who did the actual killing." NPC (and I am paraphrasing since I can't remember the exact wording) : "I should have become suspicious when the scouts started disappearing. If only I had investigated instead of recalling all our scouts..." WTF?!? The kitchen boy cut elfroot clockwise instead of parabolic, I get told. Scouts start disappearing, the npcs decide "Eh, lets just cut our loses and continue without them - who needs sentries anyway?"

So I traveled through time to a point where the world had gone to hell in a hand-basket. And do you know what I noticed? Nowhere in that future was there any elfroot! Ergo: the player character gathering all that elfroot is unwittingly destroying the world!

I can't . . . what song is this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl-yszPdRTk

Giving DA:I a try. Much better game than DA2. But I have caught myself quietly singing while playing. If I was the only person who can save the world, I'd gather Elfroot in the morning. I'd gather Elfroot in the evening. All over Thedas. I'd gather Elfroot in the face of danger. I'd gather Elfroot as a warning. I'd brew with it a potion for the love between the Templars and the Mages Aaaaaaall over Thedas.

Heh, you know it has become pretty much the standard name for my characters.

Though it would be silly funny if a stealth game told you "Watch for yellow snow - it means someone was there, and they may come back."

Does it also advise you not to eat the yellow snow?
