It is. Denmark, New Zealand and Australia are the countries I've lived in the last decade. Denmark lack stability, which means it's possible, but I wouldn't count on it

I've got 3 teams in the tournament, but I would be surprised if they made it further than the initial round. Still, I might be pleasantly surprised

You really need to work on your bias, otherwise you can't hate this next gen abomination properly Seriously. They brought this series back for... a cartoonish fps starring the black blob from startrek as the antagonist? Hey, I've done my civic duty and hated this game duly from page one of this thread:

SoZ gets awesomer and awesomer for every day I play it Beyond Good and Evil is fun so far. I'm struggling a bit with the interface and the lack of easily accessible save functionality. Overall, not too bad. Devil May Cry 4... well, it is a nice brainless action game and your protagonist at least appears male and not suffering from random bouts of "emo-ness". So far that is. The over the top action is fun, but I still don't understand the sillyness that is the oversized phallic symbols they need to swing around to enforce their dominance over their surroundings

This thread needs more pictures (tunnel vision not required)...

Just like when painting your floor. Start in the middle and then work your ways towards the corner. Oh, wait...

Still playing SoZ. I can now travel between Samargol and Crossroad Keep, finally finishing some old quests I've been playing a bit of Devil May Cry 4 too since I've developed a bit of a craving for action games again. Reinstalled and started playing Beyond Good and Evil for the less action, more adventure type entertainment. Who would have thought taking pictures of wildlife could be fun

Wasn't there somebody once who claimed they could do climate analysis based on ice core samples from arctic areas?

Meh, I prefer my tunnels filled with dirty water, waste and rats. Sewers are the pinnacle of tunnels. The only thing better than sewers are swamps. That's like humongous sewers. Tunnels are soo generic and mainstream

Everybody knows that Fox News are evil and eats babies for breakfast

Maybe it just wanted "fresh" meat? Or it found their squeeling so annoying that it wanted to put them out of their misery? While the above is obviously a bad joke, the sound of mewling babies may have attracted the fox to what it considers easy prey.

He's been busy begging? Interesting story so far

Well, I sit here and condemn them for not addressing the source of the problem and rather seem to thrive on the conflict. At least as far as the political elite goes. As long as 4+ million people are living as refugees, expelled from their homes and no prospect of ever returning to a "normal life", peace doesn't have much of a chance of happening.

Because the world is full of these? I wonder if it is a seasonal thing, but it seems like it is time for the regular reminder to those who skipped their anger management classes to go back and attend them. Plan B is us having reached the end of constructive contributions

Agreed. If you must do medieval-type fantasy, do so in a way that isn't burdened by that silly ruleset, those bland settings, and WotC review. *Sigh* Can we have a Warhammer crpg please?

Still playing Storm of Zehir. Busy building a merchant empire on the Sword Coast. I wonder if I'm just easily amused or something, but I really like the game so far. Lots of litle things to do, small "dungeons" to discover and the odd more elaborate location (I found Umberlee's temple quite stunning). Haven't had a chance to try out all the cohorts yet. Wonder if the Septimus (sp?) the Doomguide shows up later again.

The latest EUIII expansion introduced "Dynasties". You better ensure your succession or your country might go down the drain due to instability and succession wars. Grab a serving wench if necessary, illegitimate heirs are better than no heirs

Botox as a hair product?

This is where I stopped reading. Yeah, he obviously never played Mike Singletons "Lords of Midnight" We'll have to disagree on this one. I found DA's setting and factions to be its weakest link. At least ME2 had The Force, Jedi... oh wait Seriously though, Ferelden, Wardens, The chantry, Dark Spawn etc. was as uninspired as could possibly be. Only slight redemption came from a few interesting, atypical NPC's like Sten, Dog and Zevran. If developers want to base it on real world cultures, why not pick something more "distinct", like Celts, Picts, Sumerian or whatever. Edit: By comparison, a game like ME2 used humor to great effect. Salarians enable you to overlook possible shortcomings because you are too busy giggling while playing.

Quite possibly. I'll confess to not being up to date at all on the issue

I would be surprised if they didn't try to pass on some of that liability to the company that built the "Safety Valve" (sorry, don't remember the exact technical term for the gadget).

Moved to technical stuff. I wonder if it is related to this?
