  1. It will be interesting to see if this will lead to another go at Scottish independence. Can't really blame them for not wanting to be dragged down by this.
  2. Well, we have this cavalier tendency to tell you how to run your country every day of the week and twice on sundays, so I don't think anyone will hold it against you. However, if you are still uncomfortable, you can always do it like a boss a member of royalty, and frame it as a leading question. I reject the notion of countries altogether.
  3. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/eu-referendum-2016-brexit-odds-8182872 People tend to be more curageous when answering polls than what they actually do in the polling booth. Add to that a tiny lead in the yes camp. Britain stays in the EU. Probably.
  4. Kinda sad though. I like bees. Not to have in the attic though.
  5. http://i.imgur.com/yjgFaHN.mp4 So true.
  6. They paired me with someone new at work for training and.... I cant stand the sound of his voice. All the ****ing idiot questions. just AAAAAAAAGHHH..
  7. I think the Bolton - Snow battle was supposed to be sortof a reimagining of The Battle of Cannae. With the Boltons as Hannibal and the Snows playing the romans and the numerical advantage reversed. First the envelopment and the resulting melee and crush of men which kills many more than the actual figthing and then the presenting of an escape route (climbing atop the pile of bodies) to force a conclusion.
  8. So he basically abandoned all semblance of command and control. of and army. during a battle. Anyway those weren't 'reinforcements' not in the sense that they knew they they would be available ahead of time.
  9. Battle looked kinda comical. Bolton infantry are hoplites now ?. Wasn't invested as it is by now clear that the lord commander is unkillable. I had hope when he took the bait and sent an opening cavalry charge outnumbered 3 to 1 like an idiot. I had kinda gotten used to the sadist Bolton with the dogs and the flaying and whatnot.. More interesting than Sansa and emo commander anyway.
  10. Honestly, I'm not even sure why doesn't Blood and Wine quest write a big message over half of your screen saying "DO NOT PLAY BEFORE FINISHING. WHAT THE HELL, MAN?" So yes, the game does continue. Does any Honestly, I'm not even sure why doesn't Blood and Wine quest write a big message over half of your screen saying "DO NOT PLAY BEFORE FINISHING. WHAT THE HELL, MAN?" So yes, the game does continue. I wish I could find a mid game save and start over, level 20-25 or something just as the main quest really starts going. Can't be arsed to find everything again, sets, formulars, etc.
  11. Think so, but it's a body double. There's a brothel too, none in Blood and Wine though. A mysterious creature is hunting the inhabitants of a small Duchery. A specialist with experience in science and the supernatural is sent in to investigate. There's a secret cult and a connection between the murdered Chevalier... well I don't want to give everything away. Sound familiar ?.
  12. Blood and Wine sortof reminds me of this movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0237534/ **** IMDB for autotranslating.
  13. Remember the tease in the last episode, Cercei's maister/spymaster about a 'rumor' that might be true. What if someone killed and swapped Tommen while he was a baby to avoid having a king who was the result of incest. Maybe Tywin Lanister. What if the Sparrow knows this and this is his leverage. That would make Cercei or Jamie next in line. It's the kind of thing that the TV writers would come up with.
  14. Semi auto is just using the gass from the explosion to chamber the next round. It's not far from that to full auto obviously. For something to not be semi auto it would have to be lever action or pump, bolt action. Point being it doesn't matter that much at all. One is more effective at shooting quickly but is that somehow 'more dangerous'. I suppose if you are trying to stop ze Germans from storming your trench. In a mass shooting ?.
  15. Dishonoured though and Deus Ex and a lot of manure so far. Why is Bethesda still pushing TES online. Nobody cares.
  16. I hope the Starks fail miserably. It can't happen I realise that but it would make things so much more interesting.
  17. Is there an E3 thread is should be posting in ?
  18. Watched a lot of e3 Ubisoft cringe. They finally killed off Ghost Recon by making it into every Ubisoft game ever. South Park is back. I don't think Ubisoft will manage to screw that up. The start trek VR game, totally, it's Ubisoft remember.
  19. I wonder how that's going to go down with Isis. Will be kicked out of paradise now for being a conflicted gay man. It isn't uncommon that homophobic people go in gay clubs and look people from dating apps and sites that are meant for gays. And it isn't also uncommon that this behavior eventually leads escalation where said people start assault and even kill gays. And it is also common that in these cases people believe that these criminals just could not handle fact that they are gay, but usually there isn't no other evidence than their fascination towards thing that they clearly hate that there is anything gay in them. Usually people that show behavior where they become more and more fascinated with target of their hate and eventually escalating to violence towards target is called stalking but in cases like this people often jump in conclusion that person just could not handle being gay. Which may be because they think that it is insulting towards said homophobic criminals or because it works as easy explanation for that person's violent behavior, but this both things are quite problematic for people that were targeted by these criminals hatred. That's possible I guess. But he was on several gay social media. I took that to mean he had a profile. If you have a profile, I mean ods are you are gay.
  20. I know, it's funny that he was simultaneously one of 'the brothers' in the struggle according to Isis propaganda and a gay man. They won't be milking it anymore.
  21. I wonder how that's going to go down with Isis. Will be kicked out of paradise now for being a conflicted gay man.
  22. They don't have another choice. It's not like they could sue for peace and secure their gains in Syria. All they have is the PR potential of terrorist attacks and being seen as fighting the west.
  23. Hate to dispute any point about Gun Control in the USA but if we honest I dont think a terrorist attack by an ISIS affiliate is about the availability of guns? Because this type of person has made his mind up to attack the USA, so the getting of a gun will just be a formality But the other various shootings were about easy gun control, like Sandy Hook? 'Affiliate' that just means some moron who wanted his 15 minuites of fame. Who knows why anyone does anything. Whether his dog spoke to him and told him to kill, or God. Same difference.
  24. Gun control legislation won't work because it won't be ambitious enough. If you could somehow dismantle the entire domestic market of the firearms industry and make them illegal to trade between individuals, ad several more extreme measures, I am certain that mass shootings will go down. That's not what the american people want though. So, this is the price you pay for the wide gun satuation and availability. Don't pretend that shootings have nothing to do with the availability of guns though, that's a peculiar American delusion that annoys me every time I hear it.
