While German is not my mother tounge, shouldn't the verb in this case be schauen and not sehen?

Just curious, how did he get the Big Game James nickname when he has a 5.46 postseason ERA?

Add me to the list of pleasantly surprised. I had very low expectations going into this movie as my musical talent could fit inside a thimble and I'm not really into jazz, but this was a great movie. I kinda felt that the relationship with the movie theater chick was unnecesary and didn't add...

Did you really mean your brother passed away? Like he's dead? And then you casually comment how you took the jeans that were going to be his present? And THEN you make a comment about something being stiff as a board? I dunno, just seems like the death of your brother didn't hit you all that...

Wasn't the original Wing Commander a DOS game too? That game was pretty damn fun, sunk a lot of hours into that.

I'm not sure how aggressively you're leveling up your ideas, but taking a military idea first is generally a pretty bad idea. You get boosts to military tactics at military tech 4,6,7, and 8 and tactics play a pretty big role in how your army performs. An army with mil tech 8 will crush an army...

Good luck dude.

It being a Paradox game and with my love of EU 4, I think I will get this, but will probably wait for a couple of the inevitable DLCs and balancing patches to come out first. EU4 right out of the gate was pretty rocky with bugs and crashes iirc.

If you're making 35k a year in Switzerland you're not having a good time. Salaries are a lot higher here because everything is very expensive, if a household makes under 4k a month theyre considered to be living in poverty, and 35k works out to less than 3k a month. Source is I have lived in...

Please, numbers in German are all kinds of fucked up. Acht und zwanzig for twenty eight is just wrong. When people tell me telephone numbers here I have to tell them to give me single numbers at a time, not drei und funfzig, vier und sechzig etc. I always get messed up, is it 35 or 53, 46 or...

Yep that's what it means, every regiment in that stack taking 5% will lose 50 men per month.

People who don't let everyone get off the train before trying to barge their way on with their giant oversize suitcase. It just ends up taking longer for everyone. The train I take every morning, from Bern to Z?rich, then continues to the Z?rich airport so there's always quite a few jackasses...

Quill is a good EU 4 let's player, the other two I really enjoy are DDRJake and Arumba. They're both mainly concentrated on EU 4, DDRJake is pretty good at finding ways to exploit the game, he had one game where he had 11 idea groups or something, when the normal max is 8. Either way, both are...

Best of luck with this Blazin, this is my biggest problem with German. Knowing whether a it should be ein, eine, einem, einen, einer, eines, etc. is very difficult and either requires a lot of memorization to know which case a verb is, or a lot of practice. I've been working in a German speaking...

I can only imagine how obnoxious you would be if Man U was actually above mid table....

Sic Semper Adversarius!

I was pretty sad that this post got no responses back when I originally posted it, I thought a few bros here would be into it. Glad to see someone else is into it now. I see you're in the U.K. Chris, I live in Europe too so maybe our availability will match up and we can pew pew together. PM me...

Fucking whiny cheating cunt. Got exactly what he deserved.

The system here in Switzerland is pretty cool in regards to the trades. Everyone goes to school for 9 years, and then, based upon grades and desire, they either continue on to high school or they stop going to school and start apprenticing a trade. Going into the trades isn't looked down upon...

Lahm, Klose, and Mertesacker all retired after the World Cup. Not saying the Germans still don't have an extremely strong team, but I guess they need a few games to adjust to life without those guys.

Yeah and every Canadian child takes french classes for the first nine years of school at a minimum, doesn't mean anyone can speak three words of french 5 years after high school. Edit: Additionally, almost everyone here speaks english, which is not one of the four official languages of the...

Granted, going to a movie with someone you like and being able to discuss it with that person afterwards is preferable, but I also enjoy going to the theaters alone.

Maybe this is just me but what's the big deal if you go to a movie alone? Are you worried that people will see you're alone and think you're a loser or something? If so, who gives a shit what those people think, I bet you're happier alone than 50% of the 'happy' couples you see while you're at...

One thing that really impressed me since moving to Switzerland is the number of multilingual people here. It seems like almost everyone speaks at least two languages over here, while back in Calgary where I grew up, I was the only one out of my friends who could speak a second language. Now I...

Being a part of Ascent for the world first Ragnaros kill was simultaneously my best and worst memory. I played EQ on Rodcet Nife and always wanted to be a part of Ascent and be able to kill all the big bad guys that they took down. I just wasn't willing to dedicate the time that their raiding...

As per the last 10 years, and likely the 10 following years, the Calgary Flames will once again be shit this year.

I live in Europe now after having grown up in Canada, and I think I know what he's talking about. People just don't use checks here in Europe. When I worked in Canada lots of business was still done with checks, particularly at the enterprise level. I post dated 12 cheques for rent for the year...

I am a pretty big Yankees hater, being a life long Blue Jays fan it's hard to feel otherwise, but I have to admit, it was pretty cool to watch Jeter get a walk off hit in his last ever at bat at Yankee stadium. The guy played twenty years for the same team, and did it with class and without the...

One of my favorite Youtubers has a Let's Play of this game if any of those on the fence want to get a look at the gameplay and character creation. The link to it is:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzFi...U6vOaFl_fyN_60

There are perks to having jewelcrafting, blacksmithing etc. For those two professions there are the epic gems and the sockets you can create. I seem to recall seeing a table somewhere that listed what each profession had as a benefit and iirc they all worked out to +320 of a stat. For example...

I had Lasik done about 17 years ago now, my correction wasn't huge, I was -3.50 in both eyes. I still to this day have 20/20 vision and no haloing at night. It was the best decision I ever made and I have never once regretted it.

The second Na'vi vs Alliance game from Dota 2 champions League is a pretty fun watch, about 70 minute or so game. You can find the VOD on JoinDota's youtube channel.

I am pretty excited about Liverpool drawing Basel. I live about a 50 minute train ride away from Basel so I'm definately going to try and get tickets. I got to see Liverpool in Bern a couple years ago in the Europa League and the 5-3 shootout Liverpool win did not disappoint, would be great to...

ah a NW kid huh, I graduated from Western in '97. Cool to see some Calgary people around!

I am going to get my Swiss citizenship. The process isn't easy but it's helped by the fact that I'm married to a swiss citizen. Basically, I need to live and pay taxes in the same 'gemeinder' for five years in a row (to show some stability or something I don't know why really) and still be...

Best of luck to you Blazin with your German studies. I moved to Switzerland from Canada about 5 years ago now, and the first thing I did when I got here was to take 6 months of German courses. I already spoke French so learning a foreign language with genders and declensions was nothing new to...

Celtic is officially in for Champions League. I find it pretty funny as the same thing happened to them against Sion a couple years back, and they got through on a technicality that time too. Crushing blow for the Polish team, thats a shitload of money to lose if they were to go on and qualify...

Why am I not surprised you wrote a paragraph about Federer after writing only a couple sentences on the others Nice summaries though. Thanks Szila, I enjoy reading them.

Yeah my team is through! http://cyprus-mail.com/2014/08/07/er...om-young-boys/ The draw today for the play-off qualifying round should be interesting, theres a couple big bad teams in there like Tottenham and Inter, hoping we can avoid them. But I really wonder sometimes if the person...

Are mostly lurkers allowed to participate? Or is there a limited number of spots kind of deal?
