Fun fact: when I signed up I was distraught to find out that there was already a "Blitzkrieg" registered. Then I saw that he had not logged in for a year. So I asked Pengy if I could have the name, and in one fell sweep Pengy whiped the old Blitzkrieg off of the face of the site and the name was mine.

Funner fact: I long ago grew tired of there being so many other Blitzkriegs out there and have since adopted the name Legitzkrieg, of which there are no others.

That's probably because you realized within like half an hour that you only had two options:

1: fight for the imperialistic Empire invading a land that they had no rights to whatsoever and murdering everyone that disagreed, and:

2: fight for the racist, nationalistic, bigoted Nords who were at least honorably protecting their homeland but spoke of every other race as if they were less than people and completely disposable.

Skyrim got fuckin heavy man. That's part of why I liked it. The main quest was short as hell but I was seriously conflicted. There was no obvious "good side".

In Oblivion there was one choice. Meet the prince then go through all those damned portals and prove that he was the king. Or something. I don't even know.

Yeah people complained about Skyrim's main quest line being to short, but Oblivion's main line was going through like fifty portals that all looked EXACTLY the same.

I'd rather have the option of going through a short quest slowly than be forced to grind through that crap again. Ah well, both good games of course.

That looks really good, but at the same time, the blue fog is way way overdone. I know that air does have that effect over a great distance, atmosphere is after all both thick and liquid in a sense, but that seems like too much. Is the whole game that way? I never saw that at all in any of the trailers.

Dimbark, it's not even a single player game.

It didn't even have a single player mode at all until the fourth or fifth game in the series, which was a remake of Battlefield 2 with shinier graphics for the Xbox. Previously in the series you could just play offline multiplayer matches with bots.

And on the subject of The WarZ I've got mixed feelings. It's pretty clear that they are taking every bit that they can from DayZ at this point. Even though their game was in development for longer, it was originally nothing like it is now. At this point in development they're just ctrl C and ctrl V.

That being said I'm all for competition as it means the best game will win, and I would not be surprised at all if that game is the standalone version of DayZ.

Ah, I had just assumed it used the same engine. I knew FarCry was the first version of the engine, and Crysis was the second, so I just assumed farcry 2 being released at a similar time used the second iteration as well. That explains things a bit.

But yeah, I was never able to enjoy the game either.

The importance and role of Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars episode 1 : The phantom menace

He didn't have one. This character should not have existed in the movie. Obi-won and Qui-Gon should've been combined into one character... called "Obi-won".

He's supposed to be the wise old sage and yet we need to question everything he does. He makes idiotic decisions , does dumb things, and risks the lives of everyone around him for no reason at all. For example, when he and Obi are escaping the Federation ship. He says "We've got to warn the Naboo. We'll sneak down with the army" or something like that. Maybe if you're trying to warn someone about an army, going WITH THE ARMY is not a great idea? You might want to arrive just a little sooner than that.

But it gets worse. He tells Obi that they will split up, stow away on two different ships, and then meet down on the planet. Keep in mind he has NO IDEA if the two random ships they stow on will land right with eachother or miles and miles apart. He's also DOUBLING their chances of being caught, for ZERO additional benefit. He's also ensuring that if they DID get caught, they would not have help from eachother and need to fight an army alone.

Not to mention his morals are highly questionable. He has no qualms at all about using his mind tricks to con people out of things and to get his way. He does it multiple times. Then when the queen needs to make a decision later in the film, Obi suggests using the force to help her, and Qui-Gon says something like "We can't use our powers to help her." Okay. Sure. Is he TRYING to make everything worse all the time? Some wise old Jedi.

I had to wikipedia this. Although I probably could've guessed based on "-don" ending it. It is a gigantic ancient creature. That's pretty badass. What's not to like about gigantic ancient creatures? They are awesome. Gigantic? Awesome. Have teeth? Awesome. All dead? Awesome. They can't eat me because they are all dead. There are no downsides at all to these magnificent creatures. They are basically forty foot long sea-dwelling reptiles with teeth. My official review: badass.

Wow that is spectacular! As for how you could add more detail to the square, you could place trashbin models at the top of the stairs down to the subway I assume it is. You could also add bikeracks, that could be as simple as one brush with an transparent texture of vertical bars. Maybe some flowers or more decorative foliage in those tree planters. Maybe a postal box on the sidewalk somewhere? I really think it looks pretty detailed as it is but those are the first things to come to mind.

Shampoos and personal favorite type

First, let's begin with some history.

The word shampoo in English is derived from Hindustani Champo, and dates to 1762. The shampoo itself originated in the eastern regions of the Mughal Empire particularly in the Nawab of Bengal where it was introduced as a head massage, usually consisting of alkali, natural oils and fragrances. Shampoo was first introduced in Britain by a Bihari Muslim entrepreneur named Sake Dean Mahomed, he first familiarized the shampoo in Basil Cochrane's vapour baths while working there in the early 19th century. Later, Sake Dean Mahomed together with his Irish wife, opened "Mahomed's Steam and Vapour Sea Water Medicated Baths" in Brighton, England. His baths were like Turkish baths where clients received a treatment of champi . Very soon due to Sake Dean Mahomed's fame as a bathing expert he was appointed ‘Shampooing Surgeon’ to both George IV and William IV.
In the 1860s, the meaning of the word shifted from the sense of massage to that of applying soap to the hair. Earlier, ordinary soap had been used for washing hair. However, the dull film which soap left on
the hair made it uncomfortable, irritating, and unhealthy looking.
During the early stages of shampoo, English hair stylists boiled shaved soap in water and added herbs to give the hair shine and fragrance. Kasey Hebert was the first known maker of shampoo, and the origin is currently attributed to him. Commercially made shampoo was available from the turn of the 20th century. A 1914 ad for Canthrox Shampoo in American Magazine showed young women at camp washing their hair with Canthrox in a lake; magazine ads in 1914 by Rexall featured Harmony Hair Beautifier and Shampoo.
Originally, soap and shampoo were very similar products; both containing the same naturally derived surfactants, a type of detergent. Modern shampoo as it is known today was first introduced in the 1930s with Drene, the first shampoo with synthetic surfactants.

Now for the personal preference bit. Shampoo use is often followed by the use of conditioner. However, because I am a man I require things done as efficiently and concisely as possible. You might think that a Shampoo + Conditioner would be the obvious solution, but no. We can do better. A shower also requires the cleaning of the body, often done with soap and a washcloth or loofah. Body wash is a great invention, it is much easier to pour a bit into your hand, cloth, or loofah than it is to repeatedly scrub a bar of solid soap to achieve desired suds. Naturally, the most logical conclusion is to use a combination shampoo, conditioner, AND body wash. You simply pour some on your head, and start scrubbing from the top down. No additional products needed and your body is left with an attractively consistent smell.

The only downside is that this product is nearly impossible to masturbate with compared to traditional soap.

Gravity

Gravity is fucking stupid. Without gravity we could all fucking FLY. Gravity makes boobies sag after a while. What more needs to be said?

"But Blitzeh!" you're probably saying "Without gravity our planet would just be hurtling through space unrestrained! We would lose our sun and we would all die!" you're probably saying.

I reject this notion based on the fact that the earth is both the center of the entire universe and also completely flat. Think about it. It rains all the time (thanks again stupid fucking gravity). So why doesn't the earth flood from all that rain and we don't all drown? If the icecaps are melting why isn't it happening even faster? Because the oceans are constantly losing water that is falling off its edges and out into space. Duh.

Gravity sucks and countless entire countercultures have been created who's sole purpose is to defeat it. Skateboarding, dirtbikes, trampolines, the list could go on. No one likes gravity and it's proven. Entire multi-billion dollar organizations like NASA have been created to defeat gravity and propel man into the blissful, flawless, gravity-less peace of outer space.

Gravity sucks a big one and no one likes it.

Tony Hawk HD. Bought it because I haven't played one in a long, long time and because it was so cheap. It's essentially a mashed-up reboot of the first two games in the Unreal engine, with planned DLC rebooting the rest of the series.

It took a few minutes to get used to not being able to do things added later in the series like reverts into manuals, double and triple fliptricks, stuff like that. It's true to the first two games gameplay wise. Only seven levels, a mix of the first two games and a new one I think. A mix of skaters from the first two plus some new ones as well.

For eight dollars or whatever it cost, if you used to enjoy the series this is good nostalgic fun.

Don't get me wrong it has its problems. No video settings, like, at all. No button labels for the controller in the menus, at all, so you need to figure them out by guessing. I accidentally bought stats and stuff just trying to figure out what did what. Maybe it's the price and maybe its my fanboyism but the shortcomings don't ruin the experience IMO.

Heard this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-IWRmpefzE on Breaking Bad, been working my way through it from the start for the past few weeks. That show is like a drug, no joke. It's more dramatic than I usually like, it's made me laugh out loud alone in my room and moved me almost(almost) to tears. Coming from an overly proud and self-conscious dude that's as good as it gets.

If you've never seen it, pirate season one. You'll then go buy season two DVD. Four days later you'll go buy season 3, then three days later you'll go buy season 4. Then you'll pirate season 5 because it's not on DVD yet. Then you'll camp out just to buy it when it's out even though you've already seen it.
