Squid Division

It was. Jake started wrecking stuff and in the process almost drowned everyone.

What kind of elevators are we talking?

Yeah The only part that really kind of annoyed me was at the very end when

The Killstar and I built that huge blimp overnight (!) just for the livestream and Jake and Sean never saw because of the draw distance Oh well, we're working on some plans for the next stream. Possibly a place to hold some games, and possibly a headquarters/compound for the MC.

Absolutely.

The Homebarrel Bar and Concert Venue is now finished (complete with a VIP area for the Idle Thumbs Motorcycle Club). Also, surprise! and old favorite has reappeared, renovated, for tomorrow's stream. On a related note, any white wool you could spare would be of huge help to finish it.

I'd be up for being on. It'd be a good chance to check everything out that's been built recently, since the work season spiked right as the server started.

Yeah I don't think I ever posted it on the forums, but I'd like to thank AteBitGeneral for his help on the trip. We were going to hit Ottawa, but for some reason everything around it was booked so we went on by. Regardless, he was a huge help planning our theoretical stop over there. Needless to say, if anyone ever needs a place to stay just outside of Washington DC, let me know and I have a couch you can sleep on at the very least.

With temperatures that low you'd probably have to worry about the bike even starting. Even a fuel injected bike would have a hard time starting with those temperatures.

I've been playing a huge map 2 player game with 42 city states and 8 other AI civs and it's been stable, but a bit slow after the end turn button. But it's been consistently slow, so I think that's just how long it takes for all that to go through.

If I were to try to start playing DOTA II, where would I start? My knowledge of the genre so far is opening and then immediately closing the client.

I've got a Canon EOS Rebel XS (looks like the Canon 1100D in the UK is a slightly better version of what I have) or whatever order those words go in. It's the most basic Canon DSLR and I like it a lot. But I agree, you only move up to an DSLR when you're being limited by your point and shoot. I recommend getting a good point and shoot and learning basic composition, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc. on it. The problem is that only a few point and shoots allow you to adjust these settings, but the ones that do are pretty good. This is the one that I got for my brother, but unfortunately it doesn't look like they sell it in the UK. DO NOT go chasing megapixels - they don't really matter all that much. The quality of your photo comes from the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and above all composition, not from how large your photo is. Find a good point and shoot first that lets you adjust those settings. Unless of course the prices are about the same (amazon.co.uk seems to have just taken the American prices and converted the dollars to pounds, which is a bit ridiculous) While it's kind of random, someone made a couple PDFs to teach his fellow motorcyclists on how to take pictures - however, it's a SUPERB tutorial on all this stuff so I heartily recommend it. They're pretty cheap too, only $10. Tutorials like these are the most important part of any of this.

/Zap Brannigan/ I'm seeing double!

My issue is with the idea that rape is a good way to develop female characters. According to the interviews surrounding this game, Lara becomes either a hardened badass (like the previous games, right?) or a sympathetic character who just endures through (like how people always think of John McClane) because she is, or is almost raped. Girl with a Dragon Tattoo did the same thing. That's not how rape or other sexual abuse works. Also, this article pertains even more with Tomb Raider than it did with Hitman.

SquidDiv#1959 Just got the game, so I'm a low level Monk. Adding you all.

Anybody want a free steam key for Bastion?

I was going to complain about the fact that I'm blind and couldn't fine the 'New Posts' button; but the View New Content page is fantastic. Also, the reply feature is pretty good now too.

Not the same thing, but riding into DC every morning and going past the Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, Smithsonians, and the White House makes the morning commute more enjoyable. And the time you spend sitting in traffic gives you the chance to appreciate them some more than you would if you were just visiting.

I was going to say that it can't possibly be higher than DC's, but it somehow is. What the hell. Also, great podcast guys, looking forward to more of this stuff in the future. And congrats to Sean and Jake, sounds like the Walking Dead is selling really well too.

I'd definitely be up for the late ones. Last year's was lots of fun.

I seem to remember a general negative consensus around East India.

Could go carbed Bonnie (pre 09s). They're relatively common and relatively cheap.

Here's mine without the saddlebags on.

We both ride 2010 Bonnies. His is all blacked out and mine is the weird tuxedo color. I'll get some pictures up when I'm not at work.

Only if you dress like a wizard and are terrible at magicks.
