The first gay president
On a related note, they want Danish priests to come up with an alternate version of the ceremony for use by priests in gay marriages. They won't do it. On the one hand gays pay part of the sallary of clergy in Denmark so they sort of have a right to demand services in return, on the other it's a religious tradition and thousands of years old. Shouldn't reform come from the inside rather than from activists on the outside.

So, isn't it really the segment that want to reserve it for man+woman who are trying to turn back the clock ?

The first gay president
What I don't understand is why gays want anything to do with a religious ritual from a church which does not recognise their right to be together. The word 'marriage' is not reserved exclusively for man+woman, that's a false argument. Does anyone here have any trouble with what the term 'gay marriage' means... I didn't think so. Surely usage is the final arbiter of language. A segment of population want to claim it exclusively for a heterosexual union. That's really on them though.

The funny things thread
The lobby kinda forced him to 'come out' and make it official. Left to his own devices he would have done as little as he could get away with. Gay and lesbian rights is not a place to spend political capital but a good place to get it, from the purely pragmatic Democrat's POV.

What you did today
Don't use any of those over the counter nasal sprays. Get one of these ridiculous looking things instead. They will actually alleviate the problem rather than excaserbate it. The idea is that you flush warm salt water from one nostril through to the other, I can attest that it actually works.

HBO's Game of Thrones
Time to shelf this series and wait untill there is a complete season to watch. My attention span can't manage waiting a whole week for another episode.

Battle Chess: Game of Kings on Kickstarter, Fund It
I think it might fare better as a smart phone game. Provided they could find the fun factor. Those few clips didn't have it.

I'm confiusing him with Ben Foster. , or they are secretly the same person.

The leads are supposed to be 21 year olds, thereabouts. Why, it's pretty obvious that they are not. What's so horrible about being in your 30s. Act your age Timberlake, so to speak. Maybe his days as a teenage hearthrob has convinced him that growing old and growing up will destroy his career. In in all the gangster movies he's allways the inexperienced one who invevitably betrays Mark Wallberg/ Jason Statham/ Jet Li/ whomever.

Risen 2: Dark Waters
The boss fight with the Kraken was so boring it turned me off the game entirely. Same as the earth titan only you have to wait forever for an opening and then do it all over again a dozen times. Not good.

Risen 2: Dark Waters
Probably because they want to milk people who are willing to pay extra, extra.

Risen 2: Dark Waters
I'm thinking now that II should have gone for Vodoo. Firearms adds nothing new except more damage, and muskets are already extremely overpowered. Shoot, take two steps back and shoot again, for tough ememies repeat the process. This will get rid of anything I have encountered so far.

Post here if Kickstarter rejected your project
They probably assume part of the PR process, and getting a bunch of projects that turn

If you thought eating powdered rhino was weird...
What's it good for. Or is it just part of the hokus pokus 'supplement' business.

Risen 2: Dark Waters
I left everything on 'high' maybe you are using some options on ultra and it just doesn't work as well regarless of how good your box is. The texture swapping as you move closer to objects is quite intrusive though. I will say that I have not had a single crash either. So whatever else it is it's at least very stable.

Risen 2: Dark Waters
He wasn't there to begin with for me, I only found him after I had done a few tasks for the witches. Maybe you have to click a few of the markers first.

History - Favourite Time Periods
I wouldn't say the Wehrmacht were defeated by the Russian winter as much as bad roads, long lines of supply, lack of fuel, poor winter equipment and confusion about the end objectives. Much like Japan they had an initial advantage which would soon be overwhelmed by unmatched manpower and industrial capacity. The Russians simply moved their war industry out of range of German bombers and started pumping 34s out by the hundreds.

Scotland Yard goes a bit PC too far...

Risen 2: Dark Waters
How do you fast travel between islands. My ship is on the horizon. There is a rowboat, but it has no usable ability. Maybe you need maps of the islands you want to go to ?
-
Risen 2: Dark Waters
Not getting killed so much after I invested in a shotgun. Haven't learned any skills aside from kick which I never use. Hoping there is an option to travel back to previous islands for trainers, but for now the plot seems to have taken over. Looking for the great temple and a missing scout. The towns could be a bit bigger, or at least have one. Still it's enjoyable enough.

Risen 2: Dark Waters
Is there no way to have both, say if you forego lockpicking and swords, since melee seems to be just button mashing and not something you would want to do the whole game through. Or is it a faction thing like Risen.

Movies you've seen recently
3D showings are given the best time slots, or all of them. Anyway kinda tired of superhero movies now. There is a definate assembly line phenomenon going on , one squeezed out the minuite the last one stops generating revenue.
