Hoping the shock is because the bills were smaller than expected...

Wouldn't that be nice? But alas no, didn't expect them at all. :/

Just relaxing... Enjoying the good moments while I still have them :-)

Ninja-bills :-(
Glad you survived :-)

Fucking fantastic. Sorry to hear that. Standard ones are bad enough, but that out of the blue shit's way worse.

Can I play as Brazil in Victoria and Hearts of Iron?
And why is Europa Universalis so addicting?

Mind if I jump in here? When those games came here I thought "So what" because they looked like the exact opposite of anything I'd ever play, but people keep talking about Universalis. To say I suck at games like this would be an insult to sucking but people still tell me to try it. What gives?

Remember, for my 'steamy' friends I have a few keys to give away.
For regular contributors to this thread ONLY please. :-)

Let me know and I'll PM a code.

I'm not sure to be honest. I loved Crusader Kings 2 so bought the newest one because people said it was similar but I couldn't really get into it...
If you're not already a fan of that kind of game I doubt you would enjoy it. If you wanted to pick up any of the Paradox titles I would recommend Crusader Kings (or perhaps one of the others as I think they might be more combat based, not sure as I haven't played them). Crusader Kings is all about keeping a noble family going and expanding your families territory over a number of generations.
Universalis is a bit more of a political simulator from what I played of it.

From what I've seen, there's just something about certain Paradox games.

It sounds like there are times when they get it wrong, but when they get it right, they get it really right.

Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings, Victoria, Majesty 1...I've heard about all those for a while now.
Not seeing anything offhand, but I think you can play as Brazil in Hearts of Iron.

I need to dig up some manuals, then I can tell you for sure.

Additional - Well...shit. Not finding specific info, even in the manuals.
Thinking that's because they allow you so many options that they didn't feel like typing out all of them.

Unexpected bills always sound sh*tty :-( ... I sympathize...

Good day ladies, gentlemen, and what ever else crept in! :-)

How are you all doing tonight?

Pretty well :-) I'm in the "enjoying my evening" phase :-D
What about you, lady ?

Good evening. =)

Doing okay here, thank you. Nothing exciting in progress, but that's not always a bad thing.

And you?

*hello hug*

I'm good, thank you. I burned my dinner a little, but other than that I have had a nice night.

I hear you are enjoying the quiet while the owlets are fast asleep. I hope you get a restful night and that you enjoy your quiet evening.

Good evening! *big hug*

You are right, sometimes nothing exciting is definitely not a bad thing.

I am doing well thank you. Just finishing off Mind: Path to Thalamus before I can move on to my next game.
