Oi! The Athens Metro is pretty much the one thing working in Greece. That and the intercity coach service. Sometimes the Metro is on strike, but I have an app on my phone for that

If you do come to Greece, season starts around April and can go through to October. March can already be a nice time if you are here for the sights and not the beaches. If you go to Germany it is worth looking into a Bahnkarte for the discount on train tickets - it makes roaming the country far more feasible. When I went to Germany in November for 9 days, I got a card on the second day and it had paid for itself and saved me money with my second train ticket (and only because the first ticket was only a hop skip and jump). It is worth doing a bit of research into more countries than you initially plan to go and keep an open mind when you get to Europe, as you may want to adjust plans on a whim. I've had guests who decided to leave a Greek island and do a quick trip to Rome. I've had guests who came to Athens last minute because "they could".

Damn, there goes the reason to replay the game

Overwatch? This is how you take out reinforcements with style:

Next time I'll seek out the stray dogs living nearby. When it gets dark they can get territorial - that should do for angry daemons and gods

Yeah, I don't really know how to use a camera properly, so I was switching between my canon and my phone for different results. Would have been neat to know how to do "good" photos. But since nobody with a proper camera seemed to be around, my friends had to do with my crummy shots. Dunno if this link will work for the actual photos (if anyone is interested) https://www.facebook.com/tsiakalos/posts/10155056686374236?pnref=story

Athens. It was snowing last night (it doesn't normally snow in the city) so I did a midnight stroll up the hill to the acropolis. Figured it was a great opportunity to get some images few people would have.

Good thing it wasn't anything serious!

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).
