Dragon Age: Inquisition
Okay but do you honesty think people wouldn't buy a major RPG just because there was mandatory but well written Romance? Are people that opposed to the idea of Romance which would only be a small part of the RPG experience anyway? In a word, yes. In more words, it doesn't matter how well a romance is written, it's impossible to make a character that appeals to everyone. A mandatory romance assumes everyone will react the same way to a given character, which is nothing but pure folly. I have quit games outright after being presented by an unpalatable forced decision or characterisation. With foreknowledge I would not have purchased the game at all, but it's hard to discover the nature of said events without spoiling the game. Foreknowledge that romances are mandatory, on the other hand, will be easy, and consign the game to the do-not-play list. P.S. Oh god, imagine ME2 had a forced Miranda romance. That's the worst example I can think of, of a case where the developers completely misanticipated the player reaction to their headline character. It's important that the choices the devs make for you don't feel like annoying editorial interference. Those are the things that can make me quit on a game on general principle as well. Mandatory romance is a terrible idea.

STEAM!
It doesn't actually have tombs, more like tiny caves with a puzzle. The jumping puzzles are so so. In true Ascreed style it ads new gameplay elements and then promplty forgets about them, survival and hunting for instance. You do that for one map, then it's onto something else. All the staged bossfights are annoying trial and error experiences that are too far removed from normal gameplay. It's stuffed full of QTEs, you will barely be able to walk 5 steps without mashing some button or other. Despite all these shortcommings it is well worth a single playthrough if you can get it on sale. The only thing that attracted me to the tomb raider series was the jumping/climbing puzzles combined with exploration. That aspect is mostly gone, but the combat is much better. So yeah, good for a playthrough. It's not overly long so you don't get tired of it.

International Women's Day!
I'm baffled by the fact that it's illegal to cross the street except on the crossings when there is a green light in the US. How do you ever get anywhere in time. In Copenhagen they seem to have solved the problem of illegal peeing by removing suitable bushes and trees. So now all the drunks piss in our doorways.

Ukraine Redux
True enough, but if we insist on playing by the rules and leverage sanctions and diplomacy against those who refuse. It's something I guess. Serbians were guilty of war crimes, but the bombing campaign was leveled against infrastructure and communications. Serbian civilians were affected. Not as bad as putting people in mass graves, but not a good solution either. Western forces should have had the stones to occupy the whole former Ugoslavia and make sure things played out fair. Hindsight being perfect and everything.

Ukraine Redux
Besides, they aren't being asked about independence from Uktaine, that will happen regardless as has already been pointed out. Holding a referendum now with tensions high is also irresponsible. There is no pressing need except for a phony one created by Russia. Remember the fake exodus story. The Russian forgein minister recently stated that the crisis was 'manufactured' by the west. Clearly it is the other way around with Russia creating the situation in which they can snatch Crimea from a country weakened by internal strife.

SVGA to SVideo converter plugged into a 5 pin to USB keyboard converter. I think no.

Movies you've seen recently
Kirk seems dangerously stupid. He can do one thing well, play chicken with hostile spaceships, but surely there is more to being commander of the Enterprise than being unpredictable. Spock is imminently more qualified.
