    Best mind blowing movie.

    The special edition dvd has a feature that lets you watch the whole thing straight forward, but I've never gotten around to watching it. Not sure I want to either, though it does intrigue me to see the difference.

    Arsenal just beat spurs, why do they need to sign anyone? Everything is fine over there. Liverpool still yet to concede a goal and the first perfect start to a season in 94. Apart from Man U, not great opponents nor great wins, but certainly better than the alternative. Yes, top of the...

    DOTA 2

    Is it worth while coming up with a few set teams? Like 5 heroes that work well together, or even pairs of heroes that work well in lanes, just so we're focused more on the team game of working together, than worrying about picks and counter picks and what not.

    Wasn't pretty but I'll take it! It's hard not to start getting giddy with the start to the season we've had, especially when you look at our next six opponents! ps, and top of the table where we belong, once again!

    They've made so many signings that it's going to take a while to integrate them. Chances are, a couple will flop, a couple will shine and most will be solid. It's certainly promising for them this season, but it's better as a base to build from for next season and the season beyond, when they'll...

    DOTA 2

    Would have team sizes of say 8, or even 10, make things easier to setup? That way you can pick the 5 available people from your team to play at any given time, rather than trying to find a specific time that suits both teams of 5? Obviously cuts down on the number of teams, and may cause issues...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Then they tried to fix it in the final season by speeding it up, which although it made it go away quicker, also made it must worse! I just finished rewatching it all also, and agree with what everyone says. Definitely had promise but the time travel shit screwed it up. I really like the 3 ep...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Forcing religion change is another good one for destabilizing their country, but I normally try and release nations, particular in a way that separates their country so that can't get to any rebals that spring up in one side. Generally the release nations don't like them and don't give them...

    Spurs are famous for their massive failures though! Villa was such a great buy for Athletico, his opening goal in the supercup was pretty class. Must say it also made me glad we missed out on diego costa. He gets maybe a foul in the build up, but when the goal is scored, instead of going to...

    Europa Universalis IV

    You can change the luck bonus to be random, though maybe not in ironman mode. I know in EU3 it could be disabled entirely. I must say that I'm pretty happy with ironman mode. I must admit to many a savegame reload in EU3, so forcing myself to fight through bad stuff has been good. And yes...

    I'll be back to defend my title in the fantasy league! Seems the key to winning is to discover those hidden gems that are cheap but do well, combined with a couple of star players. Who will this year's Michu, or Baines be?

    That's the game I was just about to try out! Though I hear that they suffer from trade node placement issues which might suck. Anyone tried multiplayer in the EU games?

    They gave up because Alliance dominated early and their strat was blown so little chance of them coming back.

    Demo is out for EU4 but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Don't even know what the restrictions on it are, but should be enough to give a taste of the game.

    [PC] Grand Strategy / Campaigns

    the EU series for sure is the best grand strategy. As a long term civ 3/4 player, it took me ages to get into EU. Kept hearing about it, trying it and giving up after a couple of hours. Was only on my 5th or 6 th attempt that I followed a step by step guide that everything started to click into...

    Would love to see Liverpool stick it to Arsenal for trying to play games by dealing Suarez to Madrid for Higuin + 30m. Gives us a ready made replacement for the next couple of years along with cash to invest in youth and denying a rival a obvious upgrade. Benteke probably a good option...

    Here's a short story I wrote last year. I actually think it might work better as a longer piece so I've been playing with that. In the meantime though, I thought I would enter it in a short story competition. It's a tad long since the competition is for 1500-3000 words and this is at 3126, so I...

    Sorry it's late, Uni's been kicking my butt so far. I think you could lose the first three paragraphs of stevie waking up. Doesn't really add anything to the story and any details you might want can be inserted in later, like him suffering a hangover. The clue counting seems a little...

    Interesting read. Always hard to make any comments based on just the first chapter. This is particularly true of the evil guy since we don't find out much more about him or why he chose Lily and did what he did. While it's great that you drop us into the action straight away, you may want to try...

    Interesting idea, and challenging to base it on music which I think is hard to describe via text, not being familiar with the piece personally. First up, beware adverbs. Do a find on 'ly' and examine if you need them or if they could be replaced with a better verb. eg when you say "the...
