My life in 2011 has been stolen by gaming companies before I even had a chance to live it. Damn you, Bethesda, Namco Bandai, BioWare, Epic Games, and every other developer that is releasing awesome games next year. Damn you.


Hear, hear.

DC Universe Online, LittleBigPlanet 2, Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 2...and that's just January.

Dragon Age 2, LA Noire, the 3DS, Arkham City, The Last Guardian and that's just stuff I can think of off the top of my head.

Shogun 2: Total War as well.

I learnt that bad shoes + icy paths + alcohol = broken ankle.

I've learned that I catch every flu, viruses and bug that comes through my area. Why this is, I have no idea, but right now I'm feeling like I just got hit by a freight train. Which is ironic (is that the right word?) because I was driving a freight train on my train simulator last night before bed.

5000 mountaineers
2000 sappers
400 supply depots (20 of which can be deployed at a moments notice)

I talked about the fiscal irresponsibility of the Puerto Rican government, I explained why the Supreme Court's ruling that the University strike is not constitutionally protected was sound, and why European higher education can afford being free versus ours, that cannot.

To be fair, I did sound fairly republican. But there's no such thing as a centrist here. You think that the US is hyperpartisan? Hah!

Yes.

Unless of course it's not OK for a woman to ask for a female to ask for a female officer to carry out body checks. In which case, the answer would be no.
