Finished hte new Discworld book, Raising Steam. The first Pratchett book that took me over a week to finish.Seems my country doesn't have black friday sales Uplay games not bought from Steam usually don't need steam. Uplay games bought anywhere but uplay need uplay... kinda the point of it (even if annoying). But since FNV isn't a uplay game, no idea if it needs Steam. Was FNV a steam exclusive?I can't see those deals. Or they are over by now. All I can see is the advent calendar.Think I'm a bit ill as well. Slept through the afternoon and had ridiculous dreams which ended with G.R.R. Martin, assisted by Kenzi from Lost Girl, hunting terrorists in the basement of an old, abandoned villa (authorities were refusing to respond to the 911 call). They (Martin and Kenzi) were in turn being stalked by a shapeshifting alien that had assumed the shape of Rose Tyler. It had disguised the Tardis as the magical wardrobe leading to Narnia and had found a wrist device that would turn the wearer invisible, but not the things they were hlding in their hands. As the alien had munchies, slices of pizza and cheetos would hover in the air before disappearing. The alien was being followed by the real Rose Tyler and the 11th Doctor. The Doctor was modifying his sonic screw driver to detect the invisible alien walking at that time right in front of them, when I woke up.Soundtrack by Michiel van den Bos, indeed. Sound effects by The Audio Guys edit: oh, and my reaction was "Who the **** is Saridas?"Also bear in mind that he is kinda surrounded by enemies: Edward is the main character of the Commonwealth campaign. To his right (his right, so the viewer's left) is Sundren, main character of the Elven Court campaign (and daughter of Julia and Saridas). Next to her is Dwemus, a dwarf with a grudge against the Commonwealth. On Edward's other side are Reshkar, a draconian who is seeking refuge in the lands of the Elven Court (so who might he be running from) and lastly King Saridas of the Elven Court. I'd not look happy either Interesting dev quotes regarding the box: There were big arguments whether a female (Sundren) or male (Edward) should be the central character. Apparently covers with women sell a lot less, so we opted for the male. Don’t tell this to Rhianna Pratchett (our friend and writer who worked on Overlord!). Seriously though, we felt the pose with the central large sword better fitted with the male dreadnaught than the female Rogue. And Please note Triumph earns less than half off a physical copy compared to a digital distributed copy of the same price. )Been playing Agarest: Generations of War Gaaaah... As if Bioware romances weren't bad enough, this game has romance as an integral part of the campaign. As you play over a number of generations, each generation you have to get hitched to some girl in the party to have a kid with to play as in the next generation. So you can't get around having to choose who to get to like you best. Especially as apparently, the more they like you the better the stats of the next character...Divinity Original Sin update:The Mandate will actually hold a court martial for the 10.000 scammer: As some of you may be aware, there was a bit of drama with our $10.000 backer pulling out when we were just $5.000 shy of the 500.000 goal. This was only a minor setback and we quickly recovered but this kind of scam could have been a major blow to a smaller campaign. So how do we chose to respond to this? Do we ignore it? NOOOO WAY! After getting some input from the most active backers in the comments field over on Kickstarter, we have decided to run a little community activity: There is no precedence for trying a Lord High Admiral [which is the $10,000 pledge rank] on a court martial and since all members of a court martial must have equal or higher rank than the accused, well, there is only one Lord High Admiral so... Instead the accused will be tried by a grand jury of his peers [for the sake of story we assume this event takes place before all of you were disgraced after your own court martial ] Our lead writer will act as Judge Advocate General of the Grand Fleet and draft the charges, basically violations of the Articles of War You, as captains of the fleet, will decide whether the charges are true or false You, as captains of the fleet, will perform sentencing (by popular vote) We hope this can turn something negative into a fun little community event. The court martial will be in session most likely in early to mid December.
