All bets are off if they start sending suicide bombers to our cities, though I don't think that will happen. This is pretty much what everyone is scared off here.

LoL, we don't even know that. That should tell you all you need to know about how much things are ****ed up, and how many fingers are pulling the strings.

Not much chance of that happening as we were pretty much neutered after Bosnia, also there is a reason Bondsteel is there. Though I think(hope) we are still strong enough to protect ourselves. Things will get messy fast if they get stupid enough to go over the border in to Serbia.

50 were identified as far as I'm hearing and there were trained at that. They were smuggled from Kosovo and put in to hiding in the city until the conflict started. This was no armature hour operation and the scary thing is that there was one suicide bomber.

As no one has started a thread on this, I was interested in how much people were informed on this topic and their thoughts. As far as I see, mum's the word in the western media. Even if the conflict is mentioned, terrorism is a big no, no word. For someone countries who have such a raging hard on for anti-terrorism, things are surprisingly quiet. Here is my opinion on the matter. The Greece minister of energetic has told the Americans to **** off as far as the Russian south pipeline is concerned, and now the pressure is put on Macedonia to get rid of the pro Russian government and put an end to the pipeline. What I predict is likely to happen is another federalization, ie. splitting it up to Macedonia and Albania-Version4. This really proves how powerless Europe is when the interests of America are at stake. All in all things are getting scary.

The Garden of Words, it's a feast for the eyes and the soul. This is a movie in cartoon form, so I really recommend it to anyone. Also a something extra for those who watched it and may not know,

I really need to pick up something to read... Do Japanese/Korean light novels count?

Where can I get that?

^LoL

As far as I know Thor didn't get his name because of hammer, even in the comics. Thor is Thor, with or without the hammer. Though this is just me nitpicking, it isn't that important. That is more of Marvels (DCs?) fault, then the readers. They need to give an actual **** to make a new character instead of just shoving it in to an existing comic as a cameo/spinoff. I don't know if marvel shoved the words down his throat or what, but in the end it doesn't matter, he gave the interviews and said those things. As for the rest I don't really know what happens in the latest issues, so I can't really comment. I'll catch up on thor and get back to you.

Do you want to know whats wrong with it from the story/mythology stand point, or do you want me to tell you how pathetic it is that they can't push out an original female character that anyone would pay attention to? I mean even now they need the original Thor to appear in every issue to move the story. But hey they put out a safety net, that confirms that Thor will get his powers back eventually. I wouldn't have minded if they made a clean break and said, hey we want a girl thor, we will make her interesting and independent, but you need big balls to do that kind of stuff, instead now we get original Thor going through every issue hunting down her identity and what not. Even all this would not have been bad in and of it self had they not made such a big PR deal out of the female thor and how she will be a strong and independent character. Well I got news for you, she ain't that...

^ And because **** like that we get female thor...

Avengers 2, a good movie, on par with number one. Still I think it was a little too long.

But in the middle of it all there shines a true American hero who never falters from his ideals, so all of that is ok, because if the system does come crashing down he will be there to save us. As I said, most of marvels movies are like that and captain America even more so, because he is...well captain America. This is my, probably colored, opinion. QFT

True, true, though there is still that patriotic undertone (murica rulez), but then again that is present in almost all marvel movies. Still captain America kind of oozes it. I agree with you that the second one was better then the first one, but that still didn't make it better then ok, at least for me.

Thor 2 sucked compared to the first one, as for Captain America both were kind of ok. Guess you need to be an American to dig captain America.

Kekkai Sensen, Punch Line and Plastic Memories have the best intros so far from the currently running series for me.

Watched Code Geass: Boukoku no Akito, so far it's ok, but it's getting pretty close to the category of "This sequel/prequel doesn't exist". Why? As I said so far it's ok and that is not a bad thing considering it's in the shadow of the original. Two episodes are out, with the third one hitting the net any day now and two more after. I'm definitely going to see where this goes, hope I don't regret it. Also Kekkai Sensen still kicks ass (on it's fifth episode), definitely give it a go.

OK, it's crunch time and I'm kind of having doubts about the LG. The price is not really the issue, I'm just having doubts because of it being ultra wide. Also there are some build quality concerns, as I found out on deeper investigation but they are not common so it's not really a big issue. I think it's going to be the LG-34UM95-P or Dell U2715H. I really like the Dell because you can change the orientation of the screen to vertical, and that is very useful for reading manga/comics. So what do you guys think is ultra wide really that useful or is it better to go for a standard aspect ratio. Any thoughts and opinions are appreciated.

I think the mods are hopping the thread runs it self out, so they don't have to make a V2 of it. XD

I'm still willing to give it a shot, it deserves that much.

Though that was a pretty good point you must admit.

Idk, I prefer the DC universe to that of Marvel. To me DC always had more substance to it, though I never went terribly deep in to Marvel. The only books I follow from Marvel are Deadpool and Thor, and they kind of killed Thor with this new female thor stuff. As far as the movies go, Nolan's Batman blows anything from Disney/Marvel out of the water. All that being said, Manga blows western comics out of the water, so there is that.

Disclaimer right of the bat: I haven't played the finished game yet. Didn't matter then and it won't matter now. Enough people bought the game (I think) for them to continue the formula as is. Most people who like/dislike the game won't bother stating their opinion and will just buy or not buy the next game. I'm sure that a few things will improve in the next one (better AI, higher level characters and items) but I really think that the fundamentals will stay the same. The real result of the game will show it self when the time comes to buy PoE2. I guess the only hope for people who want a next Baldurs Gate game are the guys at Beam Dog and that is kind of sad. But hey, maybe they surprise us and make a good game...
