Witcher 3 at 50% off... tempting, but I did promise myself not to buy more of those until I finally can bring myself to slog it through Witcher 2. It just fails completely to interest me the same way the first game did (which I replayed quite a few times). Might be the crappy interface, the even worse combat, not sure what it is that makes me want to forget about the game, like some unpleasant memory you want to repress.

Dachshunds doesn't really have a body shape for much other that flat terrain.

Reminds me of one of those candid camera shows from a time when it was a novelty. It was shortly after that Indiana Jones movie had been released and the rolling boulder scene was known from trailers everywhere (there was no youtube). Somebody had picked a narrow, winding and steep alley to put a very large polystyrene "rock" at the top end and the roll it down the alley. Peoples panic and trying to get out of the way of the tumbling "rock" was something to behold. Not really sure where to put this as the context isn't funny, but the incident self I did find so: God has a sense of humour? "US pastor Tony Perkins, who believes natural disasters are sent by God to punish gay people, has fled his flooded home in Louisiana."

...and here I thought Americans were generally opposed to the idea of big, controlling governments managing all aspects of society. What Trump suggests sounds like something out of an Orwellian novel

Since Obsidian is based in California, we might see the Tyranny game in a new light....

Not exactly my field, social sciences, but it looks like, as a rule of thumb, the more densely populated an area is, the more regulations are in place (regardless whether such regulations are justified or not).

Tsk tsk tsk... we all know too much water is not good for you. It's for your own good they ban water. Joking aside, why don't they build some water pipelines from Alaska to California? I'm sure they have some ice they can melt up north and sell the water to their southern neighbours. Do they have excess water in Texas? There may be an opportunity there for making an extra buck for the poor, impoverished state

I see Matt MacLeans beard is back... (was it ever gone?)

Waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for reference checks to be made and hope they check out Ok. Maybe I should have added a lot more names to the list.

I'll grab some popcorn and wait for the entertainment industry to get up to speed... there is bound to be made movies about this election. From comedy over drama to horror.

Eh? It's been so long since I've been a citizen that I've forgotten that it's like.

Split off the quest for immortality in it's own thread because it deserves to live forever.

You know, once the sun starts getting hotter, real estate prices on Mars are going to boom. Might be worth considering a portfolio there.

It was a nice idea for a story. Reminiscent of the Imperial Agent story (thematically) which is all about free will vs. manipulation and control. Unfortunately the "episodic" format completely wrecked the experience. My Imperial dvl event alt was the first (and so far only) toon to complete chapter 16. Now that the first season is all released, I *might* consider finishing it on the other alts that I started it on. Class stories are fun. Levelling up new alts is the only saving grace the game has at the moment as doing the 76th DF/DP combo or the 162th HM EV/KP run has gone stale a long time ago, sadly, as ops is the only group content I find fun in the game by now.

A bit in the same boat. Except my Republic participant (a healer specced Commando appropriately named 'Kolto Pack', although in hindsight I should have named him 'Trauma Probe') is only level 47, still needs to reach 65. My blue madness sorceress got to do the heavy lifting, getting both the valor, flashpoint and chapters I-XVI done. Plenty of other alts that stopped playing after chapter IX. Anarchy in Paradise was just such a major turn-off for me. At least I learnt to completely ignore star fortresses and not pick up the initial mission on your base. Made it a lot more enjoyable. Now waiting to see what the expansion later in the year is about. Probably 9 more chapters, a generic fp and a level increase to 70, making all current gear levels obsolete (while I hate it, it's the only way I see them fixing the utter and complete disaster that was giving NiM gear away for "operations" that are easier than The Foundry tactical flashpoint)

Heretic. Money is never wasted on Beer. As an old university student, I know how important it is for your cognitive abilities! At this point in the process at the moment where a prospective employer is interested in my skills and I'm interested in working for them. Down to the nitty-gritty stuff now and see if we can agree on the practical details. Crossing fingers and hoping for the best.

How do people end up with so many spare codes?... Sadly I either don't know the titles or have them already (guilty of having a long list of games from Steam and Gog that collects dust)

Maybe they could go through a season or two with no president? You never know, they might like it that way.

The only way to win is not to play the game... Can't they suspend those elections for a decade or so and see if better candidates show up???

Hypocrisy indeed... better strike now since we all know that Assad has stockpiles of WMD's! (I wonder if anyone is going to buy that argument a second time?)

I'm a subscriber to saving lives. You're not? Under the previous government which encouraged people to take a perilous journey on unsafe boats, 1200 people drowned at sea. You're a subscriber to this? Mate, I mean a subscriber to the website. It comes up with a page that says subscribers only, so nobody else can see what you are linking to.

Let me guess... you are a subscriber?

...and when the known world comes crumbling down and game forums are dust, from the ruins of the usurper media, like the bird Phonix, Usenet shall rise from the ashes and take it's rightful place in internet domination again! alt.games.baldurs-gate we miss ye.

I read it first with a quick glance and was shocked at how many it was. Then I noticed it was only the last 72 hours. Then I noticed there more pages... many more pages How do you guys keep the US from being completely depopulated???

Why do I get the feeling Hastur is Eldars alt?...
