Orv

Never before has a thing so epitomized "didn't know i needed it until I heard about it".

Dear Thumbs, A friend of mine has become an insufferable, circlejerking atheist twat. How do I make him stop? Love, Orv So yeah, while he's been an atheist for a while, he's recently taken to expounding his "Dohoho! I'm much more enlightened than those saps down at the seminary!" view to anyone who will listen, and posting reams of out of context quotes from famous people (with the occasional correctly intended one, I admit) and being smug about it. Face-punchings are going to commence shortly if he keeps it up. In other news, Caligula, the youngest cat who tolerates my existence, has developed a taste for Honey Bunches of Oats. I am now out of Honey Bunches of Oats. Not amused here, cat.

People are dumb, Valve is not.

Not enough slow-mo to justify that snark, Chris.

The current WD stuff is the gift for upgrading to premium, in other words spending any money on the DotA store. Which upgrades your backpack from 50 slots to 500 I might add, so if you get a chest it may be advantageous to just drop five bucks on a couple keys for the added storage space. Or get an adorable plush squid.

This is the fifth "main" bundle, yeah. They're up to like, 10, now? Maybe a couple less, maybe a couple more.

I'm definitely going to drop money on DotA 2 stuff on occasion, since there a couple heroes I play constantly, but I think for now I'll just give Valve a "good job!" sort of tithing and grab the badger courier and a couple keys.

"Ostensibly beef" is where I lost it.

Some of 'em. http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=570&p=2&section=items

Subbes has been integrated into SkyNET.

They've run out of true indie games, hence the problem that most people own all the games in this, and they've been repeating games for a couple bundles now. It really doesn't matter the ifs and buts about "What is indie", they just need new stuff.

The imgur album with the concept art got nuked early yesterday afternoon.

Green Marine, a Valve guy that hangs around on SA, said that pretty much all of that stuff is placeholder and most of it won't make it to the final game. I'm sure a few of them well, like the chests and couriers, but a lot of the cosmetic items are probably getting changed up. I really hope they keep Melon Tidehunter though . http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3470036&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=318#post404140715

It's not really meant for mounted archery yet. That'll be a large part of Dawnguard, for now it's just basically watered down Mount and Blade horse melee combat. Let me point out that if you're playing unmodded Skyrim on the PC by this point you're doing it wrong.

Let me put it this way. The Nazis run the presidents re-election campaign. It does not get less insane from that point forward. Also Udo Kier plays the Fuhrer. (Yuri from C&C.)

It's been a long time since I've read most of this, so you're right on all counts now that I think about it. I forgot that Jaime didn't feature at all in Clash. (Well, "feature" I assumed you meant , which is fast approaching, but out in early next season at least, but in restrospect, do you mean either My memory of books I've read is fairly compressed, in computer terms, and I don't remember more than vague specifics without several reads. My main confusion with the scene you're referring to is from their slight twist on The Battle of Blackwater since Tywin rides directly from Harrenhal in their version because Rob is still at the Crag, but has done Jeyne/Tali, so it's all a mess. Ep. 10 synopsis so we're on the same page before we get any further into this: Which means a good episode, and if the scenes play out in that order a good place to end the season is on

Well it's a niche show, on a premium network, so 4 million isn't terrible, all things considered. You have to keep in mind as well, that Ireland is paying a nice chunk of change for them filming it there, and boosting their tourism. I can't disagree that it might not make it all the way, but I'd be genuinely surprised if we didn't at least get Season 4. Also Season 1 boxes and digital episodes sold like hotcakes so that will help a lot.

I was really disappointed by the choice of singer for . I get the ragged old soldier thing they were going for, but the guy just mumbles half of it. Shame too, because I know he's a good singer. As for that scene keep in mind Season 2 is a book and a half. In fact, I suspect the "half" line is exactly where that'll be the first episode of next season. Last episode of this season (meaning the next) on the outside odds. Of course, HBO could just do something they've never done and change the length of a season in an already established show, and I could see them finally doing that for GoT, but I doubt it. E: I guess upon listening to it again, I just didn't have my TV loud enough, and it came through terribly. I'm still not a huge fan, but it works. E2: Okay, did a bit of digging, next episode is the last of the season, it will not be happening, sort of leading me to hope that Season 3 is the rest of Storm rather than the rest of Storm and part of Crows, because to be fair, Kings is a fairly dull book for making TV, where-as Storm is not. But either way it'll still be another six or seven months before we see that little debacle. E3: From official sources: "However, whilst the first two seasons roughly corresponded to the first two books, the sheer length of the third novel (half again the length of the first) makes this impossible. As a result, the events of the novel will be split over the third and a potential fourth season. Some events from the third novel were also moved into the final episodes of the second season to help facilitate this." Which means we've got at least a season, probably two of A Storm of Swords. Very likely two, considering that both the second and third season were confirmed literal hours after the second episode of the season at the time. I'm really happy about that. My biggest worry about this whole endeavor was how you'd fit this series into neat little chunks, but it seems they went to the right people to do this because they're allowing them entire seasons for half a book. Man, Dance is going to be three or four seasons.

So my day has been a whirlwind of shitty gaming experiences and movies. Safe House - As an enormous fan of both Reynolds and Washington, I couldn't conceive a better spy thriller cast if I had twenty years. On the other hand, if I had twenty seconds, I'd say drop the pointless subplots that seem to riddle the entire film. Safe - So it is actually possible for Jason Statham to make a "bad" (note that his films are not artistically good, but he's really good at making things explode in cool ways) action film. This is truly shocking news to me. Get The Gringo - I need to be more careful with gratifying my morbid curiosity. Where have you gone Mel Gibsono, our nation turns it eyes to Maverick and What Women Want. Iron Sky - It's about nazis that escaped WW2 and lived on the moon, and now they're back. Contrary to the shitfest that has the potential to be, it's actually a hilarious comedy. I'm not sure of availability, so I'll see what I can do to keep you guys apprised of chances to see it. Snow White and The Huntsman looks like it could be really good, and Prometheus I just want so badly.

To be fair, while the main character (you) may at the beginning be National Lampoon's Bikini Atol Vacation, I get the sense that you're pretty fucked by the time you take control. At which point it becomes immaterial because you're now in control so it doesn't matter who he is, just how well you can shoot a man. He isn't John Rambo or anything, it's all very "do what you must". We'll see, but I think it's stupid to not buy the game because of.

Hope is pretty much a word to indicate a vote of no faith in whatever I'm saying, for me. IE. Gee, I sure hope the character with a shady backgroud and unknown father doesn't happen to be the daughter of the primary villain. Etc.

Magic, ITT.

I still have a copy of the original Torchlight, because A British Nerd apparently owns it, and I was a terrible person in getting back to him. So if someone still wants a copy, steamcommunity.com/id/orv
