Ulthuan

Ah yes, when the Polish/Lithuanian Commonwealth got thrashed by Sweden/Russia/Brandenburg. Reminds me of this one. Glorious Sweden, relevant Sweden...

I've been thinking of getting around to reading that book. I think I'll push it a little bit further in my "to read" queue.

House of Chains by Erikson, something like the third Malazan book. Karsa Orlong is an interesting character (if something of a sociopath).

Welcome, newbie. Enjoy your stay.

This goes for any DRM-locked media, not just music: games, applications, movies, TV-series, the lot.

Oh, I remember the good old days when people actually owned their games instead of renting them.

Ten years ago I was probably still watching X-Files, so I'm catching up on the first few seasons now. I expect once I'm done with them, decent quality rips of the 4th season will be available online.

Edit: Personal attacks are not tolerated. Asurion Whitestar Sometimes I reflect upon how our minds and bodies aren't really made for this modern, western, urban life we're living.

Digital army books should be half price, at most, How big a part of the cost do you think the printing and shipping of the book is? I would guess that at most 25% of the cost of the book is the actual printing and shipping, which means that the ebook can be 25% cheaper at most. This article quotes ...

Oh, how the years pass. Was this on Freenode, or some other network?

So have a lot of people.



At the end of the day, people still play chess.

Wait, didn't we do this back in October? Do you Americans celebrate Thanksgiving twice a year?

I'm very scared that this little cute fellow will grow up and be aggressive I really want him to be a friendly dog. and according to my Girlfriend and her dad he will be aggressive because he doesnt have black toothflesh :/ anyone knows if this is complete B-shit? Genetics matters, (that's why ther...

Yes! Let's hold a name election, then ignore the results! Just like in real life!

So in recent news, I've moved to Norway. I'm now living in an absolutely monstrously huge flat (about twice as large as my previous one) surrounded by cardboard boxes. The language will take some time to acquire, but at least I understand some (if not most) of it, and most Norwegians seems to unders...

Not that I particularly remember last time you peeked by, but it's safe to say "Not much".

I realized a while back that more and more game communities I used to frequent migrated to Facebook. Perhaps Ulthuan is next.

Is that envy I hear?

Simply untrue. Case in point, the British Empire acquired Hong Kong through warfare with China in the 19th century, and gave it back peacefully in 1997 through diplomatic efforts.

And people think IP laws are only a problem for music- and video freeloaders.

wat I'm suggesting Argentina and England are re-enacting something out of a kindergarten sandbox, with Argentina "asserting her legitimate claim" to a particular corner where England, who considers the situation "non-negotiable", is currently sitting. I learned to get along and ...

Gods, politicians can be so childish sometimes.

bork bork bork!

Minerals, actually.

Even if (and that's a pretty big if) Ulthuan in general and OT in particular is slowly dying, why do you guys assume that's a bad thing, something that needs to be fixed? The web is big, there are plenty of places to hang out and talk to nerds. For example, try Reddit. If you feel you're not connect...

Me, I started writing sometime last spring. As you can see, I'm not done yet.

I'd imagine this is what you'll look like before you're done.

There, I fixed it.

About DAMN time! Welcome to season 5, guys.

Anyways, played the game through. Level 39 Dunmer Archer Assassin. That's what I like with Skyrim, (and liked in Oblivion as well) that even though you've "played it through" as in "finished the main quest", there's enough left in the world to do -- factions you haven't joined, ...

Welcome to the site, etc.

Have anyone else noticed how incredibly common knee-injuries are in Skyrim, and how it put an end to the adventuring careers of many, many city guards?
