Agiel

Not me eating it, but the most relevant place for this: <<Une armée marche à son estomac.>> ("An army marches on its stomach.") -Napoleon Bonaparte.

Impressive work, Oru.

It's weird. If you're impressing that lot than you must be doing at least *something* right. That said, were I a game developer who managed to impress RPGCodex, I don't know if I would wear their seal of approval so proudly on my sleeve.

Company of Heroes pack is gone.

Does this mean a glimmer of hope for IWD2: EE and PST: EE? Was kind of left despondent by the news from Beamdog that the Infinity Engine games that used DnD3 ruleset would be a significant challenge to bring over for the team, casting doubt that those two would ever come out.

In the context of both the attack on the school in Pakistan and this attack on Charlie Hebdo, I recall a tweet from Chris Cavas: "Those who destroy the future have no future."

I have the original Company of Heroes and associated "Expandalones" to give out as well.

Should be noted that the Netherlands offloaded all of its remaining Leopard 2s onto Finland and nearly its entire CV90 fleet to Estonia. Understandable given that those two are freaking terrified of Russia. Overspending on the military? Of the members of the EU that are in NATO, the UK, France, the Baltics, and Poland gripe that everyone else doesn't meet the mandated 2% of GDP military spending to be in NATO.

Found myself somewhat surprised that the French language is a thing in the world of Thedas.

If you're watching this at work, plug in the headphone jack and listen. I feel like I could cook eggs and fight terrorism, at the same time, after listening to this.

Deck ops aboard R-91 Charles de Gaulle

Frankly I'm more bemused by the appropriation of the Southern Cross banner: Next thing you know they'll be singing: "Oh, I wish I were in Dixie! Away! Away!"

I think it's there so you can roleplay your PC as a boozer (or if you yourself are an achievement whore).

The first game I ever got denied for trying to buy because of my age was Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory on the PC (back when you could still get PC games at what was then EB Games) back in 2005 (I was 16 then). At that moment, another clerk stepped in and relieved him to go on his lunch break.

I can't help but feel somewhat incensed by the implementation of RNG for getting certain schematics as loot drops or in chests as well as the seeding of the Masterworking success, even if a part of me tells me that I shouldn't feel that way given that the Infinity Engine games totally did seeded unique loot drops.

Whatever "alliance" between China and Russia, be it economic, military, or both, would inevitably result in the Russians playing second fiddle to the Chinese. And this is just one of several reasons why I don't believe for a second Putin would settle for that. Putin is in the FoPol game to "win", and not (if he can help it) turn Russia into a de facto vassal state of the Chinese.

It's great fun. The planning phase has a lot of tools I wish I had playing old-school Rainbow Six and to see a plan come together is totally visceral.

Picked up Door Kickers on the Steam sale. This brought a smile to my face:
