Sombre

I find it insulting when they give DLC or additional content that's not obtainable otherwise. It's ridiculous.

Why would you wait months to be approved on a forum? Sounds bizarre.

Valkyria Chronicles

I can already feel my sleep schedule being increasinly destroyed. I can't stop planning!

My summation of the past few days. My life is the inbox button.

That alone is 15,000 words, on top of all the stuff I'll have to do in other classes. I should really find a place to live already. I will do that once I finish off this years work...

Agreed. 60-90 minutes is a good time.

I just proposed my Dissertation for my final year Uni project! Hoorah

They have a new QL up about the full game, if you're interested. Once I finish my uni work, I'll get it. ETA 1-2 weeks!

Diplomacy Offering the olive branch with a knife on the other end etc. I linked a PC gamer podcast a while ago, and someone said "The mail send function is the most important button ingame"

Pretty much. I can still play it, and it's still a fucking astonishing game, but times have changed and games got better. It's a prisoner of its own time really.

Deus Ex is widely regarded as one of the best games of all time. Personally pal, I'd say to play it as early as you can. Because it's such a relatively old tech now (2001?), I'd say play it now while your tolerance for bad graphics and engine is low. It'd be hard to play a lot of super new really well designed games, then go back to play Deus Ex Not to say it's bad, it's just a very old game in terms of how games have developed!

Am I the only one whos sending overly long in character dipolmatic mails by the way?

Just downloaded Moby Dick on audiobook.22 glorious hours! (I'm only listening because I wanna hear the reader shout "From Hells heart, I stab at thee!!")

STOP TALKING ABOUT BIG DOG GODDAMNIT

I think Squid has the worst position, personally. Let's hope they're a good diplomat

I present a mockup of the galaxy map, for everyone. Key- Red-Joflar L Blue-Sombre Orange- JamesM Yellow-IrishJohn Purple-Decap Darker Blue- Jenona L Green- Squid Division D Green-Murdoc Maroon-Excub Brown-Toblix White-Boris Pink-Wurtzi Let the games begin!

One more spot open! ...(On the day I have to propose my dissertation!!)

How do we...ahem, join it?

I actually forget. I think you can move it with a building movement, but I honestly don't know. Don't try to be a neat freak in DF, it'll ruin your life.

Wait for your first immigrant wave/goblin attack. It's overwhelming.

Smells like Dwarf Fortress...awesome.

Unashamedly find the biggest meanest person with the nicest guns, and suck so much cock for protection. Then steal a gun, and die.

That one was just identifiers on what specific characteristics Japanese Horror Cinema has that other international cinema doesn't. I just dropped a bit of Akira in there for some body abjection horror, but nothing too inherently serious. I've ended up writing about Akira, however, in a great many essays I've done this year. I wrote a big piece about it for the construction of abstraction in animé, and I'm writing my final thesis next year on Posthumanity in anime and manga with relation to things like cyborgs/post-life culture. I need to propose this topic by Friday actually, but it's only Tuesday, I'll consider making it more eloquent. I'll no doubt come off like some pretentious neckbeard twat, but hey, I guess it's necessary!

After finally putting a bow on what could have possible been the longest essay I've ever done (Timewise), I am now going to celebrate with a chicken sandwich, a cup of tea, and a shower before I potter off to uni in my dishevelled, sleep deprived state and live out the rest of my day. This could potentially be long.
