Seeing as my last attempt at this failed due to the lack of maintenance on my part. But fear not, I will restart this RP. The title pretty much says all, Pegasi/Griffions cannot fly off this island no matter what. I'm sort of the Dugeon Master, and I have plenty of tricks for you! There is also no escape (except for one way you may discover).
With that said, begin!

Is there anywhere to watch the livestream of the LoE panel, or somewhere I can watch it later on?

Will the LoE panel be livestreamed by anyone? This is likely the first place we'll be able to see the new content.

We go to battle again, dear wallet. For tonight's the night.

I can't breathe...

There's more.


In sale news: picked up Hotline: Miami, Witcher 1 & 2, and the Farcry series for just a little over twenty dollars today. So I at least crossed off one thing from my need-to-get list today: Farcry.

Next up: Banished, The Forest, Bioshock Infinite DLC, EU4 DLC, Verdun, and DayZ. Waiting for one of these titles to drop lower than 60% of their original price or below five dollars.

I'm personally hoping for a discount on the Crusader Kings 2 DLC so I can pick that up cheaper, also hoping that DayZ goes a bit more cheaper later in the sale even if it's unlikely

I've sold my soul to Paradox on multiple occasions by buying the DLC as it comes out, usually. So I've nickle and dimed my way through to paying the full price of CK2 and all its DLC.

I don't even feel guilty.

However, I do feel that I am behind enough on Europa Universalis that'd it be best to buy all that up during a sale. So I've got my eye on it. Maybe EU'll get a flash deal, or daily deal.

How is Europa Univervalis, I'm relatively new to Paradox games and I'm curious if I should get EU4? How does it compare to CK2?

EU4 is pretty fun. Though it took me a while to figure out army composition. On my first run I always wondered how may massive French armies could be cleaned out by the Austrians. Turns out the AI likes to spam mass artillery.

Besides that, it is fun to play and assume the roll of the most-likely malevolent colonial power. There's far less emphasis on personal politics than CK2 of course, with rulers being little more than nation-applicable stats for thirty/forty years. And most of anything that'd be funny as is the case in Crusader Kings 2 is spread out to the game's sort of meta-politics (Ottoman Empire inheriting Tengri and dominating Central Asia for instance). It's also a terribly long campaign, so be prepared to plan ahead.

What makes the game annoying though is if you port over a massive empire from CK2 to EU4. I ported my Roman game to EU - where I dominated all of Europe, North Africa, and 90% of the middle east and Russia and it's common for my screen to be spammed by the mundane events that occur in my Empire (Poor Vintage, Poor Iron, Agricultural Revolution, University Class of [year] [location]) which can be tiring.

I'd certainly say pick it up when it's on sale, if it does. I need to pick up some DLC for it, but they're still too expensive and I already spent twenty dollars for Banished and AOE3: Complete today.

I think I'll pick it up when it eventually goes on daily or flash

open server weekend (http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=11989.0) so it will be the last chance to play for a while!

What does that mean?

I believe this implying that they will not be going to conventions for a while, and I don't blame them, this is easily the most conventions they've gone in a year and the year with the most OSWs. I imagine that they will host another OSW later this winter (at least what I think!)

The pony coughs a bit and says "Well what do you think?" He is a unicorn with a candle for a cutiemark.
