Jesus christ that thing is annoying. Try figuring out which window is spamming music when you've got 15 open and no idea where it comes from.

Ended up losing all of my previous titles because my king died in battle before I had the chance to assassinate his grandson. Now the inheritance was split between his son, who I'd been raising as a proper king, and his grandson (the other guy's nephew). I end up with the nephew and a crippled Byzantine Empire instead of wealthy, glorious Denmark I managed pull BE together quite a bit with the help of some Kinslaying, but then time ran out. Here's my guy at the end: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541808684886824407/D13D2AC78B230FB18E11C0FCA7A200A5CF4D4C7F/ Here's house Dunkeld at the start of the game: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541808684886836800/C82234D0948BDDFCF3CA35DA2503D6FFEF1FA32A/ And the end: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541808684886830585/627E6B31AC47DCEEC11EB47BE0F7E5794CA34859/ Not too bad.

You call it an exploit, I call it strategy! Lately I've been listening to a lot of Erik Satie, but I don't know much about classical music. Spotify is terrific for it, though. EDIT: Man, the Kaiser is throwing 55,000 troops at bleeding Connacht (not mine). I should play nice. EDIT: Accidentally conquered the Byzantine Empire.

That looks exactly like the kind of bike I would want to own if I lost my mind and actually decided to get one.

Man, playing this with the Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack playing just puts me into a trance. There's this weird mechanic in the game where it's possible that you wage war against a small state while a another empire is waging holy war against it. Your armies are not hostile. Then, if the other state wins its holy war, it suddenly inherits your war from the small state. Now, if this sort of situation happened in real life, I don't see why I could not have backed out from the war using diplomacy, but in the game I'm stuck in war with England, who is not going to accept even a white surrender. Which is when I decide to just choose a save before the original war.

That was his grandmother, I think It's okay now, though. There was a spurt of kings dying very young, which ended up with me in Denmark with none of my old claims. Denmark is rich, though, and due to inheritance dealies I'm also the accidental King of Georgia. I expect I'll lose Georgia eventually. I've turned Denmark totally Orthodox, though, so no more problems from that little mistake! Also, my Queen turned Danish and everybody just loves me. I've got about 50 years left and I'm hoping to grab the three lower counties in the Duchy of Holstein from the Holy Roman Empire, but that's not easy. I'm hoping for some rebels to grab them so I can steal them. I might start expanding north, but I'm allied with Sweden and they have grown back from being a one duchy state. I'll finish the game today and post the world map at the end.

OMG it's Robobatcopman!

Oh yeah, the Deus Ex soundtrack is an old favourite.

It's never lupus.

So my king dies again, now I'm an 8-year-old Mongol boy in charge of the Khanates of abovementioned countries. My diplomacy is really bad for the first time, which is making things difficult. Five of my vassals rebelled almost simultaneously, which I've been able to deal with surprisingly well. Now I accidentally converted to Orthodox Christianity, which can't be good. EDIT: Hahah, yeah, that didn't go well. I lost most of Scotland & Ireland and all of Britain. I'm still making all of the money. Maybe I'll go for Scandinavia and let them be. I've only got like 100 years left anyway.

I had problems with one king because I had become a Kinslayer, but couldn't remember who I killed. Possibly the dude killed someone before he became king. Now my king died an old man after acquiring the Kingdoms of Brittany, Ireland and Norway in a few years (in addition to Scotland and Denmark), but not having time to consolidate. This could turn ugly.

I think the GOG version has that in FLAC and you can get it somewhere as MP3 free & legal!

The RX100 will probably be excellent. I wouldn't mind letting go of one of my two more expensive cameras for that one.

That's no moon.

I'm so sorry.

Shivers down my spine. Okay, I'll stop. These days some producer would say you can't scare away the player in the menu. That's how far we've fallen.

I'm going to ruin this thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csBQWkv-25E

I would actually prefer the Adlib version, but that's weird. Also, more Dune for no reason!

So, hey, Uplay is also a backdoor that hackers can use to do anything they want to your computer if you click the wrong link: https://news.ycombin...item?id=4311264 No, that's not the wrong link, read that. So if you installed Driver: San Francisco after listening to the podcast, for instance, I could totally be hacking you right now, but I choose not to.

Man, so many of those games you have to play using an emulator.

I'll deffo be there!

So few games where your mother suddenly dies of depression -- and it's systemic, not embedded narrative.
