As this will be my first HoI game, I really have no idea if Quill is bad or not, as I don't know the game at all myself. As to the difficulty, I'm pretty sure he's not playing on the hardest level, and Paradox games aren't all that difficult once you know how to play them. That's the true...

Game is coming out on Monday, Let's Plays are starting to pop up on Youtube from the usual Paradox suspects (Quill18, Enter Elysium, etc.) I've watched the first six or so episodes of Quill's Italy playthrough, the game looks pretty good. I've never played any of the previous Hearts of Iron...

I heard it will release at 19:00 CET, Paradox will do a stream starting around 13:00 CET then push the go live button on stream at 19:00.

I feel the same way Khalid, I am 100% behind the premise, these kind of "post-apocalyptic" settings appeal to me so much and this one is well crafted. It's in the execution that the author sometimes falls a bit short. I think I'm a bit more willing to overlook these shortcomings than you are, as...

Yeah, the Island in the Sea of Time is like a prequel, but I think the Nantucket island from our world ended up somewhere else, on a different world. My basis for this reasoning is that in the prequel books, they are able to make steam engines work, gas powered vehicles still work, and gunpowder...

If you want to play magic but have no friends who play and don't want to deal with going to a LGS, the best option would be to play online. The client isn't the greatest, and the digital cards often have very different values than the paper ones, but overall it's not a bad experience. It's also...

As Khorum mentioned, the second half of the book is very different from the first half, I think it's worth slogging through.

Just picked up the first book, Island in the Sea of Time, really enjoying it so far, thanks for the recommendation and a seconding of it from me.

So I've tried a few times to do honestman campaigns, meaning play as if in ironman, but without setting the game to ironman. I always end up having something happen that I deem to be "bullshit" and reload the game. 99% of the time, the bullshit happened due to my stupidity or impatience, such as...

I really hate those protect the device guerilla ops, the hack and vip escort ones are so much better. Unless the dark event associated with the protect the device mission is one I MUST prevent, I avoid those missions like the plague.

I believe how this works is say your soldier can move 21 tiles in a turn, when you full dash you can go all 21 tiles, but if you blue move first, it rounds the 10.5 down to 10, then you get another 10 tile move with your yellow move, resulting in only 20 tiles covered instead of the 21.

Just got what might be the most fun/OP thing I've ever had in XCOM. My best sharpshooter leveled up to Major and got shredder ammo as an AWC extra perk when she leveled up. Next mission I went on, I had a double activation, each pod was a mech, an advent officer and stun lancer. I pulled...

One thing I am wondering about for Psi-ops is the stasis shield ability. The one that makes one of your teammates immune to damage but unable to move or take actions for a turn. Will the aliens just ignore that soldier? Or will they continue to attack it despite the fact that they can't damage...

I've finished Seveneves now, it was very enjoyable, but I am more than a little annoyed at the ending. He left it wide open for a sequel, there was very little resolution, so I went online to go see when the next book was planned for, and found out he doesn't have any concrete plans to write...

Hey Tort, thanks for the recommendation here, I had read another of this guys books, can't remember the name right now but I remembered liking it. I'm only about a thrid of the way into the book right now but it's been a great time killer on my daily train commute.

Yeah, Ingram had revenues of 46B last year, safe to say they're pretty large. You're right in that they won't want separate accounting systems, but their billing manager was in our office and based on her observations it won't be a simple matter of loading up a new module in SAP to integrate our...

Interesting week for me at work. Get an e-mail on Sunday that I need to be in Munich for a meeting on Monday. I work in Switzerland so it's not that far. I head up there, and find out that the mid-size software firm I work for is splitting into four business units, basically four separate...

Despite the recent revamp, the client is still awful. The trading message board is terrible too. Other than that it's ideal.

Will be interesting to see if Price can get the postseason monkey off his back. Pretty crazy to consider that he's 2-7 in the playoffs with an ERA over 5, really seems like he can't handle the pressure. As a Jays fan I know I'm biased, but I would like to see a game 7. I don't know though, I...

Eh, my Flames have looked pretty terrible all around this year, might be wrong but that playoff run (if you can call advancing once a run) last year looks to have been a fluke.

I did a BFZ draft over the weekend, thought to myself I haven't played in a while, so lets take it easy with a swiss draft. Ended up going 0-3 anyways after drafting a R/W allies deck, had lots of opponents down to 2 or 3 life then some 8/10 eldrazi would hit the table and I would be out of gas...

Wow, impressive.

As I was mentioned further up on the page, thought I would give a further update. I had the procedure done in 1997 and my vision is still good to great, no need for correction at all. I have also experienced no complications, from major ones like health issues to even minor ones like haloing of...

The Blue Jays dropped two of three to the Red Sox at home this weekend, seems like no one wants to be top seed. If the Jays keep up like this there's a good chance the Yankees might catch us again.

Well, that didn't take long.http://m.mlb.com/news/article/149747...top-of-al-west They're still in good shape for the wildcard, but Minnesota is coming on hard.

The worst game for me for starting and not finishing has got to be EU IV. According to Steam I have over 800 hours into that game, I'm sure a portion of that is me leaving the game on overnight, or going afk for a while, but I can safely assume I've played about 600 hours of that game and I have...

And up 6-0 today against the Tigers in the 3rd, it's fun being a Jays fan right now.

As a Jays fan, let me try and feel bad for you and your 27 world series and unlimited budget.......nope can't do it. I'm at least as sick of the Yankees/Red Sox!

I like it, pointless analysis is the basis of much sports discussion!

Double.

Yeah, the NL Central is brutal this year, the Cubs would be leading any other division except the AL Central with their record and it's only good enough for third place. They truly are cursed. The AL East is shaping up very nicely, with the Yankees and Jays tied now it should be a very...

Having a picture on your resume is standard here in Europe, at least in Switzerland. When I first moved here I resisted doing it thinking it was weird but then I was shown example after example of resumes with photos I gave in. I've also successfully found two jobs here with a picture included...

Yeah this Casualstrength guy is a troll, he has to be. He claims everyone is being super selfish when he wants everyone to bend to his whims and is actually being super selfish himself. Even the name is a bit too clever. A pretty good troll but I would say a troll nonetheless.

Sweeping the Yankees in New York no less. Pretty hard not to get excited as a Jays fan right now, everything looks so good, but I'm sill waiting for the wheels to come off. First time the Blue Jays have been in first place past April since October 3rd, 1993, I'm just going to enjoy this ride...

I don't think New York will hand Toronto anything, but Toronto might just take it. Was a pretty playoffish game last night, and it's nice to see that the Jays can win the 2-1 games as well as the 10-9 ones. I'm jealous that you get to go on Sunday, should be a good game and atmosphere. Here's to...

Tulowitzki is hitting .353/.476/.653 since arriving in Toronto and Price had 8.0 IP with 11 Ks and 1 ER today. AA is looking pretty clever right now, all they have to do is actually make the playoffs now. The AL wildcard is wide open and catching the Yankees isn't out of the question, but they...

I'm pretty surprised about the Jays making that move for Price. In the past the GM has stated he won't trade prospects for short term rentals. Guess he changed his mind there! I'm also pretty excited, as was mentioned the Jays record and run differential don't really line up as one would expect...

Well, gotta say I'm pretty impressed with Tulo after his first game for the Jays. 3 for 5 with a homer, two doubles, 3 RBI and 3 runs scored, all of this while starting in the leadoff position for the first time in his career. However, even with him, we still need a pitcher or two to get us...

Honestly, I think it even makes things worse, as people just get shit faced before even going into the stadium as they know they won't be able to get a drink once inside. Maybe with 100k and the right words in Sepp's ear we could get it changed..... As to the game, we had our chances at the...

There is no alcohol sold at any Champions or Europa league games, it's a UEFA rule. It's meant to cut down on violence at the games but really it just makes the games shittier to watch in person. Ah well, I can live without a beer at the game for once. Edit: nil-nil at the half, neither team...
