Very true.

*big hug*

Hey! *hug* I'm doing fine, just finished some more translation work. This afternoon/evening I'll be going to a mini Harry Potter marathon hosted by my study association, where we'll be watching the first two films. That should be fun.

Or like this!

Good to hear. Tranlation work? Is it for the thesis?

Hmm...i'm not a huge fan of the Harry Potter moveis (except the third one) but enjoy it.

No, this is for my 'job'. It's not really much of a job because they only pay me a pittance, but they don't have a lot of money. It's translation work for a magazine for stamp collectors and it's some of the most boring stuff I've ever read. :P

Oh, I love them all. :P There will be quite a few people coming in and we have drinks and snacks so it should be nice.

I actually liked Harry Potter, up till the fourth book. At which point, I just lost interest.

Introduce your friends to some Pratchett, but not the movies. Well maybe Hogfather, that's the good one.

Speaking of Pratchett I finally read Raising Steam.

It was very sad.

Ah. Okay was second thought...after i posted my reply....i'm currently looking for some similar 'job' at university....maybe get on in the IT-team of our institute...but still waiting for their decision...

holy caw! caw is like a half-cat and half-cow. maybe.

anyhow wow! I was hoping for Majesty for the sale but whoa, new games.
Any suggestions to pick, these new games are like Chinese letters to me...

Convinced one of my coworkers to check out on Games Workshop stuff. Maybe I'll get another guy to play 40K?
And I'll buy more GW games later this year on Steam and anyone here play the PC Blood Bowl? Maybe we can play together.

Would you recommend it? It certainly looks interesting. Is turn-based? It's football (the american one) isn't it?

------------------
Anyone else here missing Fallour from their shelf....mine went missing again *sigh*

Ah. Okay. Will take a look at it...

It's raining and I have no interest in playing a videogame right now.

I think I'll take out my remaining unpainted bloodbowl figures and pick up a paint brush.

I wonder if citadel paints go bad with time.

I'm actually interested in all of them. Although i haven't played these exact games i'd recommend the Paradox games but they take some time to get into....
From the Men of War series i played the original but i assume the new releases are similar. They are highly realistic and really hard.

I don't know if my post is helpful in any way....

I don't care about the rep system , but who were those dickheads who downvoted the " thank you ..... " posts in the GOG gifting thread ?

thanks! I'm trying to find something strategic to buy. And have been leaning towards Paradox. And a lot of hack'n'slash in the past year or so has given my old body too much workout :) So I'm guessing this year it's going to be a lot more turn-based strategy, and less clickety-clickety-click.
Seems like Europa Universalis II will be my choice today.
