Dang Nep, I didn't see this post earlier. I hope it's something minor, get well soon.

Even Pearl Harbour ? That was definitely the director. I am not a Michael Bay hater, he is very good at the summer popcorn flick thing, but that movie needed to have an axe taken to it. In fact I bet if that movie was 90 minutes and not 180, it would probably be a decent watch.

Any other Robin Hobb fans here? I just finished her Dragon, uh, whatever one more than a trilogy is. It was good, but I hope she leaves this universe behind now and returns to the one she made in Soldier's Son. I'm a bit tired of dragons in general, but I still like her spin on it.

My eye twitches when I see rouge confused with rogue. That probably isn't healthy. That is true. He writes as a living, he is publised, so he is. How good he is is irrelevant. It is pretty relevant to Dragon Age, given that he has played a huge role in the creation of the universe.

I'm fine with the sub model and a store, but I hope the subscription is a bit cheaper than $15 a month. Microtransactions are a huge part of the MMO future.

Like everyone in Edmonton, alanschu lives in an igloo, so the teepee doesn't need to be that big.

That's the way to do it, I'm always surprised when I hear about parents making separate food for their kids. They eat what I make or they go hungry Granted I usually toss a Peanut Butter sandwich at them before bed to stop the whining.

Dragon Age Inquisition doesn't come out for another year, so staying strictly on topic would be pretty boring. We were talking about David Gaider and his place as a fantasy writer, so all this fantasy writer talk is plenty relevant.

I enjoyed a few rounds of Chivalry, but the game really needs more than just deathmatch in this day and age. Give me some decent stat tracking, unlockables, or something that every other game has nowadays.

That's the thing, much like with KIlmer and Clooney, it makes me a bit nervous to have these really well established actors taking on Batman. These guys all have a bit of a limited range, they typically find success playing the same charismatic persona in every film. But I'll be hoping for the best out of Affleck. Speaking of Batman, I watched this movie "Clear History" with Larry David the other day, and Michael Keaton showed up in a crazy role. I barely recognized him. He was great.

" Somosas" Most people probably won't know they are. We have a strong Indian community in South Africa so Somosas are very common and delicious. They aren't that good for you as they suppose to be fried in oil but with the various options as ingredients they can be very yummy . My favourite is the potato and cheese I baked them instead of frying, so they were pretty healthy. They came out pretty good, I need to get better at making the dough, but I nailed the filling.

So Ben Affleck is apparently the new Batman... I really like Ben. I have no idea how I feel about this news though. I don't think Bruce Wayne when I see him.

I've determined that I will make baked Somosas tonight. It should be a challenge, wish me luck. I think I have everything except for one or two spices, I'll try to supplement. I wonder if cumin powder instead of seeds will be an issue.

I'd actually say Martin is more ridiculous than Jordan, since at least Jordan was turning out books at a somewhat regular pace. This topic has taken an interesting turn, Mass Effect and Fantasy writers

Interesting, no meat? We only have meat about once a week in our house for dinner. My wife got pancreatitis last year and we had to change our diet quite a bit. It has led to some interesting challenges, but I enjoy it. That's why I typically add rice, beans, or lentils to help make the potatoes a complete protein. Thanks for explaining, how are the kids handling the change in food? I assume the new diet is considered very healthy? It is healthier, as long as we don't overload on the carbs. The kids are very good about it. Some people act like it's a huge deal that they don't get a lot of meat, but our Pediatrician is Indian and a vegetarian and she thinks it's great I give the kids corn dogs or chicken nuggets about once a week as well, so they get a bit of extra meat there. I actually have trouble with red meat after eating like this for the last year, so I stick to chicken, turkey, pork, and fish even when I do eat meat. I'll eat a burger on occasion.

I haven't decided yet, I've got some yellow potatoes to start with, probably will use peas as the vegetable, so I just need to figure out how I want to cook them and if I want to introduce rice or lentils to the meal. I've got some onions and garlic as well, might mix those in somewhere.

I didn't mean to imply Salvatore is a great writer. He is good. Gaider is pretty new to the novel world, so I'm not sure what he will become. Actually I read Salvatores first three books when I was young, they were probably worse than what Gaider has done. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woods_Out_Back

Not even close. Yeah I have to agree. Believe it or not, the simple style that Salvatore writes in is not that easy to pull off. He keeps a quick pace, develops characters smoothly, and is easy to read. He's also a professional that churns out a ton of content every year. Gaider has grown as a novelist, but he's not in the same class yet.

I just finished the 3rd DA book, Asunder. I think it was the best one yet, it was a nice mix of some new characters and some old, and it had a good pace. Gaider has improved as a writer as he's gone along. It is still pretty standard fantasy, but there were a few decent surprises mixed in. Also it seems to be a pretty big stage setter for the 3rd game.

Yeah they are kind of pricks :D I'm not really in touch with them, they cut off contact because they don't like my wife's personality, but they still send stupid cards for birthdays.

I can verify the late 30's woman thing that Sargy was talking about. Stuff is way better now than it was in our 20's. Today we had a bit of a surprise birthday dinner for me, even though my 35th isn't until Friday. My wife and I were stuck in the city a bit later than usual, so we went to dinner and I had a couple really good beers. Then when I got home I opened my mailbox, noticed a card from my parents, and still being a bit buzzed, managed to toss it a good distance into the field next to us. My kids thought this was a fantastic idea and began tossing all the junk mail around as well. It was good fun

I had a blast using the editor, even though my mod was pretty short and simple. I put a lot of hours into it. That being said, I'd say the campaign was well worth the relatively inexpensive price of the game.

Dungeon Keeper on a tablet or phone actually makes a lot of sense.

Probably time travel. Johnny Gat riding a dinosaur duking it out with cavemen and time police.
