I very much enjoyed the fact that the Emperor was voiced by Patrick Stewart.

That first dungeon, right outside the prison, and across the water, is surprisingly deadly.

First time I was killed by the bandits before I even entered, pincushioned with arrows.

 

I'm used to the Raiders in Fallout, just listening to them you know who they are, and that they are bad guys. The bandits in Oblivion were worried because the Emperor is dead, and I didn't even realize they WERE bandits until I became their archery dummy. The lady with the big hammer never even had a chance to reach me before I croaked

 

Then a moving gratE splatted me, and dragged my corpse around for a while.

 

Then zombies, twice.

 

Yikes! You are FRAGILE!

 

And the world seems BIG!

Most of the depictions of Sophie I have seen reflect a more playful and joyful aspect than the pure lustfullness seen in many representations.

Yeah, this is what I want in a Sophie bust too.

Grandma is being operated on right now.

She had an inflammation on her finger, seems like Withlow? And they told her she needed surgery NOW!

 

My girl's sister and family are with them in the hospital an we're on stand by.

The surgery itself seems to be pretty straightforward and it should be simple enough.

They're keeping her there for the night.

 

We're waiting for the results.

 

Yikes! Fingers crossed... Err.. Sending good thoughts your way.

 

Ended up helping tommy recover what he could from his apartment this afternoon. Currently plant sitting some of his plants. 

 

Chili came out really good. So dinner will be excellent...

And one from 3dartdigital, and there will be one from Kimera. Succubi are popular. Even with those options, we need a Sophie! She'd fit the "cheerful" succubus niche!

PIRATE Sophie!

 

Cheerful pirate AND succubus niches!

 

Grump has chili on the slow cooker.

 

He started with dry beans.

 

It doesn't even SMELL like food yet.

 

Three hours to go on cooking.

Came across the "Warhammer Armies Project" the other day, which updates every army list for a 9th ed. Even armies that never got books, like Albion and Kislev. Haven't really gotten into the crunch of it, but from the look of things it combines every unit from each edition, and consolidates the lore from each edition as well and makes no mention of the End Times. 

Needless to say I've been on a reading binge.

Good Morning All!

 

Happy Monday.  <sigh>

 

(I do like my work, I just like my cosy home more and getting dressed and all is so much like WORK but thats what pays for the home and the toys)

Yea, but he's got like 4 lines and then everyone else in the game were voiced by two or three people. Because it's Bethesda, and that's how they do it. They'll hire one or two people to voice named characters, then they'll just grab a couple interns from the office to voice everyone else. So everyone ends up sounding the same.

 

Went to the FLGS again today, set up like usual, and got no takers again. Had one guy stop by and show interest, but he said he didn't have time to play today.

 

A couple other guys that I've talked to in store before, one of which was who I played with last week, we're setting up a game of Star Wars: Outer Rim beside me, so I joined them for a game of that. It was everyone's first time playing, and it was definitely fun.

 

I was Lando Calrissian, one guy was Boba Fett, and the guy who brought the game was Han Solo. In the end Han was flying Slave I, Boba Fett was flying the Millenium Falcon, and Lando was flying the IG-2000. Boba Fett couldn't win a firefight, and also failed to do the Kessel Run like 4 times. Han couldn't talk his way out of a paper bag. Lando rolled through, saved Princess Leia, blew up 2 Imperial patrols and one of Jabba's patrols, captured 4-LOM and another rogue droid, and won the game by becoming the most notorious scoundrel in the Outer Rim.

 

It was some good fun, and we were cracking out all sorts of Star Wars jokes as we went. Especially when it came to how the ships ended up going, because how can you be playing Boba Fett while flying the Millenium Falcon, with a bounty to catch Chewbacca, and not make jokes to Han about how the next time he gets on his ship he'll be wiping his feet on a rug of his best friend?

I saw a giant blow-up black dragon amongst someone's Halloween yard decorations today, and I was immediately filled with an unbearable urge to liberate it. To live at my house instead.

[LittleBluberry]

Hmmmm...  Maybe I should get some green lights to put around my little dragon statue.  He's cute, but might look menacing with dramatic lighting.  

[Marvin]

Found it! $130 from Amazon. Comes with everything to run and stake down and all. I am so incredibly tempted lol. But I have no children and live in the country off the road and won't even be home on Halloween anyway, so there is literally no way I can justify this.

 

Maybe if I buy it and put it up at my brothers house when he's not home...

There is a big (like 2 stories tall) Jack Skellington like one down a street near my place. I see it every night I come home from the FLGS.

Whoops!

 

I will admit I enjoyed listening to Grump tear apart 4e's math. Skill Challenges for the lose!

I will point out that being able to do basic maths is why I was stuck with the job of keeping the pagan retreat solvent.... (Seriously, Dave has a MBA - how the hell could he not realize that commingling personal and business accounts is a bad idea?) Or maybe it was just having basic common sese that doomed me.

 

Skill challenges were an interesting idea that had terrible implementation. It suffered badly from the design team's 'It's not combat, so we don't care' focus for the game. They were lazy about their math, and did not proof their concepts.

Median, yes - average, no.

 

The median is one of three types of average. This is not some random definition, it's basic mathematics. In a normal distribution, the median is precisely equal to the mean (the second type of mathematical average). (The third "average", the mode, isn't useful in this application.)

 

But since it's clear that you're only interested in a single definition of "average" that has nothing to do with math, and you're apparently unwilling to even grant the existence of the term's first dictionary definition, I'm done with this now.

Back from vacation in New Mexico, so no more off-network 3G connection. Off to go see what the other threads are doing.

 

Then go pack for Florida.

Gotta love when I'm making chili and I manage to make it a lot hotter than what I was intending to. As in I'm actually happy about it. It's gonna taste so good, and the extra heat is gonna make for some great chili cheese fries. Because that's honestly what made me want to make chili today. I really want some chili cheese fries...
