Looks very similar to AC but without the climbing buldings and stabbings.

It's being made by Ubisoft Montreal, the same company who did AC and Far Cry. So there's that.

Don't even know why I complained now in retrospect, money comes too easy in that game. Started re-listing stupidly-priced stuff on the auction house this weekend. Made enough to buy individual helm unlocks for the 2 characters I was playing, plus 40 GTM slots, a week pass for the space missions, and still managed to end up with about 150k more in the bank than when I started.

Oh, and also pushed my sorcerer a bit further through Belsavis.

Buggy game is still annoyingly buggy though. It's going to be testing my patience; can already tell. One thing I did like is after all that time in Skyrim it's nice to have a follower who can actually manage to keep up with you.

Speaking of skyrim, I'm liking the mage college questline.

Americans...

Denmark is a good 500km away from the Netherlands. And it's big news here, although not entirely surprising given that the Queen is 75 and not as stubborn as her cousin in England (not quite cousin but they are related).

Edit: We are also getting a King now yes, a change from the past close to 100 years or so in which we've had a Queen. And it's been sort of in the works for years, the Queen moved to a different (much smaller) house/palace and the Prince and Princess have been taking over many of the states visits and such over the past years.

Can you still walk?


Also, /r/crappymusic may be the most hilarious and cringe worthy sub I've encountered

Oh my God this is perfect in every way.

So I was sitting in a bar yesterday (Sunday) talking to my buddy who's the bartender about how I'm going to LA in March to see a couple hockey games.

Hot girl overhears and is like, "which games?"

Long story short, slept with her last night after watching the Red Wings game. I also offered up one of my four tickets if she can make it down to the game, which based on the text I got this morning at work, she can. She even offered to pay for a hotel room.

Sometimes I wonder if I live in some crazy universe that's not at all real, because I don't think guys get the moves put on them so obviously very often.

I'm Dutch, meaning I'm from the Netherlands. Mazra is Danish. Both our countries love cycling and are flat as can be but they're not the same.

TIL: Theo met a girl who made it down to the game last night.

Theo took the Barney Stinson mojo and ran with it.

Edit: While genetics definitely play a role, confidence, in my experience, has a much bigger impact. I'm not a particularly handsome guy (aesthetically speaking), but I don't shy away from eye contact, which gets them interested. The second part is hooking the girl once she's interested, which is the tricky part for me. Not only am I a total klutz once the girl gets up in my face, I'm also the type who finds the hunt sweeter than the kill, so I often just leave it at the non-verbal flirt.

I'm just kind of ridiculous in my own way (my friends make jokes about how similar I am to Sterling Archer and Barney Stinson all the time).

Also, I have no shame. And I've gotten slapped a few times for being too forward. There's apparently a line that you can't cross, even when you're talking to a slut.


Yup, confidence is key. Not cockiness, but confidence. The two are confused a lot.

I learned from the best. One of my good friends isn't the best looking guy in the world, but he just goes in confident that he's going to close. And if not, he'll laugh it off as him striking out.

You mean these?

If so, you should've sent some my way, I've never had the chance to try it out

Do you remember any of the lines that got you slapped? I'm curious.

They were generally ridiculous lines that friends would think of and then bet that I wouldn't say to women.

But they didn't realize that I don't care and that winning a bet is way more important than getting slapped.

Usually it was something incredibly offensive (said to a black girl at a bar once on a dare: "I bet you've got a little white in you." Didn't even make it past that before she slapped me, so I couldn't do my follow-up to her probable, "uh, no," with, "want a little white in you?" with a wink).

Other times it was just me being presumptuous.

That line was a dare, by the way. Hilarious? Yep. But when I was getting slapped it wasn't.

ITT: Theo is a dick in real life too.

Also, Ezio saying "wait right here" to someone LOCKED IN A CAGE is really @#%^ing stupid.

And it happens a dozen times throughout the games.

Yup. Also what Maz said though.

It's good to remind you, maybe it'll keep your ego in check just a little bit.



And Pigtails, I figured you'd like this:

I like the art of Girl Genius. Moreso than most webcomics.

And the plot is brilliant.









Also Jägermonsters. They're badass.

I'm buying myself a nice ring this weekend, first time I will ever have bought myself nice jewelry. We're having a sale at work, and I want it. Totally going to tell people that my bf bought it for me though. That way he looks good! It's purple and really sparkly.

Yeah, I just re-read the whole thing every couple of months so I don't lose track of anything anymore.

I only have the one boyfriend at the moment, and we're poly so I don't think that's going to be an issue.

Besides, I'm going to give him the option of going halfsies on it.

A friend of mine told me to watch the show Breaking Bad. Never heard of it until he mentioned it, but it's apparently from 2009 or something (the first season, anyway), so you Americans probably know about it. I love it! And it's not cancelled by Fox, which is a nice change...

For those who don't know, it's about a high school chemistry teacher - former Nobel Prize recipient - who is diagnosed with lung cancer and realizes he'll leave his family nothing when/if he dies, so he teams up with an old junkie student and begins cooking crystal amphetamine to make some fast money. Because of his knowledge of chemistry, he makes really pure meth, but he has no street expertise, which leads to the pair getting messed up in a lot of awful situations. And then there's the whole "family doesn't know" thing while daddy turns more and more corrupt every episode. The five seasons take him from a submissive family father to a professional and ruthless drug lord. It's like Dante's descent into meth hell, or something.

Awesome acting - especially from Bryan Cranston who portrays the lead character. And there's chemistry in it. Not high level chemistry, but it gets brownie points for including some knowledge. The chemistry teacher in me is thinking about how to use it in class to create some interest.

Or not hard.

BAZINGA!

I'm okay with shows ending. Shows tend to get silly once the writers run out of ideas, so I'd rather they end it with five great seasons than five great ones and five bad ones.
