The Hobbit movie trailer has been released
Subterran species typically re absorb their eyes and grow extra appendages to help them move around. Let's be glad we are not slaves to realism.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I currently have two vampire mages as death thralls. There is a level limit, but plenty to chose from still. The dremora are always available though and can hold off just about anything on their own.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
There are epic level spells that require quests at the mage's guild. The conjuration ones are the most powerful, you can have two permanent high level zombies. The destruction spells aren't worth it as you could spam 5 lower level spells in the same interum. Alchemy can increase spell damage, I don't know if the base attribute does anything for damage or resistance. The game doesn't allow you much in the way of stats.

Yes. I'm thinking they should have done this classical animation style.

Singularity. It's nothing special, glad it was only a fiver.

The funny things thread part 3
Gravity does not scale, that's why giant ants aren't ruling the world. Also, the cat jumped. Do we have any reason to suspect it was suicidal or unable to judge the danger from a fall.

Kim Jong Il dies
I wonder if all those poor malnourished North Koreans would call it that.

Kim Jong Il dies
Let me suggest another analogy. A teenage boy who was never allowed to rebel against his mother, thus leading to an unhealthy co-dependent relationship. Now 40 years old he still lives in her basement and is rarely allowed anyoutside human contact, nor would he do very well in situations outside the confines of his imaginary kingdom.

Method acting with plenty of motivation.

What you did today
Saw a TOR ad on a bigscreen in the metro. Looks like they are pushing it for Christmas here.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I think they can probably get away with doing very little on account of the success of the game. A gun and a hat, and it would still sell.

Love that guy. He sucks sober though.

Movies you've seen recently
It's like every action movie from the 80s and 90s rolled into one.

My bow does 1000 points of damage with the fortify marksman potion. It's ridiculous. Magic get's boring in the long run too, I like to mix it up.

I don't understand the point of butter. It doesn't do anything for me tastewise. Well, there is newly beaked bread but appart from that.

The category is, by definition, irrelevant. Having an opinion on its validity is stupid and baseless, regardless of the opinion itself. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Seems to me it's is all about categories. How many angels can dance on the head of a pin. How do you account for the metaphysical in a real world setting.

Christmas Spirit
Not if you don't recognise the category as anything other than a group psychological phenomenon. Surely it is the belief in divinity that is on the face of it fantastical and requiring proof. If there is no evidence then, ipso facto, there is no observable divinity. The other side of the argument has invented a category outside what can be observed and documented, that's not a draw or a technical KO. It's cheating.

I don't think it's absurd. It's perfectly logical. There is no particular need to organize though, and even less to try and shove it down people's throats. Like, you know, a religion. Imperical thinking is supposed to be the reverse of dogmatic group-think.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I trained my guy up in Alchemy and now I have more money than I know what to do with. I buy up all the grand soul gems from the traders and pay them with useless potions like barter+paralyze+health. I very much have abused smithing and it has made the game much too easy.

Christmas Spirit
Yes, but their case is better. I would love for them to be wrong though.

They bring balance to the force. The religious nuts need a visible antithesis. It's mostly about getting coverage I suppose. Here's a thought, we could have them duke it out in a mud wrestling tournament. Those tickets would sell out fast.

Europe wants the UK to leave the EU
What this crisis has demonstrated is that we are interlinked economically regardless of the common market. Now we were actually able to do something about Greece's near collapse, and it's not very likely we would have been as effective if Greece had not been a member of the EU. If we are to grasp a more firm hold of the banking system and investment groups to prevent the markets spinning out of control again we need some kind of international economic policy and and an organ to enforce the rules. The very notion is at odds with the concept of national governments and seems like a fantasy, but actually the EU has been paving the ground with the euro for some time. We are getting used to the notion of solving problems together. Corporations function across national borders, legislation has to do the same to have any hope of being effective.

I just followed the . Tip? Okay, I have one tip. When you install the CPU to the motherboard, you're going to get resistance. It takes far more pressure than RAM or a video card. If you're like me, you'll worry you didn't seat the chip properly and that you're going to break something. I haven't had that experience. I suppose it depends on the locking mechanism. Getting the CPU to align with the receptors on the motherboard shouldn't take any pressure at all.
