I would be up for it even now, if we had enough participants.

I might be pretty well fucked here. I somehow got no money this payday (not sure what may have affected that), leaving me with full mines and an encroaching bugforce of some 40 or so with a couple levels each.

As seems to be a common complaint, I think Thor would have been a better movie if it had just been 120 minutes of adventure through Norse mythology.

I'd be interested in a Thumbs chainworld, actually. . .

I'm concerned that you are portraying Bush as someone who wasn't a fumbling idiot in a clerical collar.

Well, I can run every other UE3 game out there just fine, but somewhat inexplicably, when I tried to load the pre-order beta, it just sat at the UE3 wrapper splash screen and never went anywhere. So I got a refund.

The only current problem I know of, updating from Pre-Release 1.8 to Release 1.8 is that you time-out connecting to multiplayer servers. There could be other things that I'm not aware of.

I wish so hard that I could run this. I desire it with every fibre of my being. Unfortunately, it's not something I have to play (a la Skyrim) so I won't be upgrading at the moment to do so.

That Alien Nest image gives me the creeps.

Yeah, I think I can safely say I like Obama as a personality, or simply a person. As a politician. . .well, he's a politician.

(Such a useful image. . .)

I have to wonder if they will eventually have some kind of long-form strategy game for every Roman god/planet.

It is. Servers have been intermittent most of the day. If you messed with the pre-release, make sure to nuke your .bin file before updating. If you didn't just go ahead and update normally.

To make this clear, I don't necessarily approve of Obama, but when is composure a lack of balls? (Or am I misreading that?)

Because they're all so energetic and personally likeable that people can't help but elect the droves of incompetent mental deficients that this state produces. Fuck this place. I just live here.

We could never hold it. Clearly New Guinea is the new center of civilzation.

I could probably cop to that myself.

I consume books like most college kids consume ramin and pizza. It's really not an issue usually, because even a bad book is something worth reading for me as a fledgling writer. If only to learn why it's so terrible. This is the first book I've ever felt that I should really just stop reading some ways in. If I simply don't like a writers style, I typically put a book on the shelf within three to five chapters, but I kept going with The Infernal City. I really don't know why. C'est la vie.

See Kroms, that's my issue with poetry. "The forest was still and quiet." Welcome to that poem. Arghhhhhh. I can now confirm two things. 1. The Infernal City is a terrible, terrible book, and why it's licensed as an Elder Scrolls title is only apparently when obvious TES things show up for five seconds. The lead character might as well be Elfy McElf the Elf and it would make no discernable difference. 2. I don't know why I read all of it.

If I am jaded it is only because I am tired of this shit. - Probably Marc Antony. I'm pretty terrible at explaining what I mean, so I'll just sit in the corner and watch this discussion. Suffice to say, poetry does nothing for me. On the other end of the spectrum (the thread title, for instance), the first book for The Elder Scrolls, The Infernal City, is incredibly terrible.

If we did, I wouldn't be surprised if it was nuked. Politics get mmm, dicey, around here.

Allow me to rephrase that. Most of what poetry discusses is pointless. As much as one of my favorite poems is interesting (Frost's Fire and Ice), there is little that it is useful for. Then again, I suppose that's a bit of what poetry is. Aimless muse, really. And perhaps that's why I don't like it. Yet again another discussion I will back out of.
