Just moved to Denmark. Now what?
Move out of the sticks. Sorry, that's just the usual greeting from someone living in Copenhagen.

Drama in the indy gaming biz ?
Hardly news any of it. Havent we been screaming how games sites and reviewers are whores since, forever.

Wait, vacuum cleaners?
Ahh yes, another one of those juicy stories where we can all laugh derisively at the maliciousness and/or ineptitude of a giant bureaucracy. Funny how there are no stories, ever, about how something worked for the benifit of serveral invested parties. I guess there is just not enough demand for those. I too shiver at the thought of a world with a paltry 900 watts of vacuming power. I don't know how I can possibly go on after 2017.

The state of Feminism, the good the bad
I feel the need to add that although these are real people who use some really grown up words, this is still not something we are allowed to do here. That includes reposting tweets and whatnot.

I'll just say that I think it fundamentally dishonest to make a living being a feminist. Making money off your beliefs. I mean that's what politicians do.

Thai coup endorsed by King
Well the protesters last time around were very much trying to overthrow the government. Maybe revolutionaries everywhere have been energized by the success of Maidan. I must admit I'm not sure if the position of the thai army, as in taking power every time the political situation is reaching boiling point, is a good thing or a bad thing long term. It might actually be preventing changes that will move the country forward long term.

This story really has everything. Even Phil 'it's lonely at the top' Fish. It's kinda funny watching dev nerds go at it like Paris Hilton.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [2014]
My thinking is that writing for CRPGs is usually so rubbish that it doesn't really matter that the PC is a 'blank slate' rather than someone with a past that the player is aware of.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [2014]
I dunno, I'm mostly annoyed that he has two swords with two different build trees that are mostly idientical. Steel is more crowd control at higher levels but it's irrelevant since there is no choice in what to use, it's decided by what you are facing. One tree with more choices for both swords, or just one sword - cannon be damned. The voice acting is pretty good.Not bothered by being Geralt although I always prefer being able to create my own protagonist.

Police arrest, attack reporters; order reporters NOT to cover protest. IN UNITED STATES.
Classes aren't supposed to exist in the US, but when 'the blacks' riot it's hard not to see it in those terms, that among other things the cops exist to protect the privileged from the disenfranchised. Guess what movie I just saw.

Post Your Mobile Devices!
Trying to get one for my mother but I have no idea what's good. Battery life is important. She would use it for digital camera stuff, web and reading.

Julian Assange, to hand himself over?
Clearly he thought the charges were part of a conspiracy against him, and given the active interest from a whole lot of intelligence agencies that he is likely to have recieved who could blame him. It's like that saying 'It's not paranoia if they are really after you'. Did he do this to himself or was he successfully sidetracked and discredited through other agency. I'm pretty confident in the quality and impartiality of the Swedish courts. He will get a fair shake there.

Ohh come on, what does it matter if it was in Israel. They had to learn crowd control somewhere.

I think there probably still is some remaining institutionalized racism in the US and that is what triggers protests. It's unfortunate that it always seems to center around individual cases which might after all be indicative of nothing. It's all pretty fishy though. Smells like cops covering eachother.

What are you playing now?
I pretty much always forgo lasers for mechs instead and maybe a shiv or two. It's a dead end after all once you start on gauss. I think there should be some kind of reward for doing laser, like a bonus scope. It did help a bit that long war made lasers more accurate like in the original game so they still have their uses for soldiers with very low aim.

What are you playing now?
I'm playing classic and I find I'm forced to reload a lot. Before I got power armor it was practically every round. Normal ironman is probably the better choice. I'm down to four remaing council countries largely because there have been no spare resources to develop better interceptors so I get terror attacks which always cost panic. If I cant build the firestorm in time I will lose. Countires come back with an almost full panic bar so I can't do very many base missions. This is due to a bug where after 20 messages of a country leaving the council the game will crash on message nr 21.

What you did today
He got his back injury lifting. You could say it killed him because the painkiller overdose was definately related. I'm guessing it looked good on camera and gave him a boost to do the shoot if he pumped rigth before.

Robin Williams
If you are not a confused teenager who doesn't know anything about life, if you dont have 5 children who are going to starve without you you get to check out whenever you want with no recriminations. Just my opinion.

The way I heard it they have a puddle on the top of their heads and if it dries out, they die. Got to the the most useless mythical creature ever.
