in the first film i thought it was arwen who summoned the river spirits to drive away the nazgul (a change, the books had elrond do it as he wore the ring of air)


wasn't it Tom Bombadill in the books?
i'm sure he had something to do with the force of the rivers

And smote him she did. Badass.

Yeah. For a long time, I thought it was Merry's dagger that killed him (in the books, they say it was enchanted against the Witch-King), but apparently all it did was make him vulnerable, so that Eowyn could finish him off.

Fun fact, the original Swedish translation has Merry kill him, because the translator misread the whole thing. So in Sweden people for decades thought that the prophecy was circumvented because Merry is a Hobbit. Which also made sense, because in the context of Glorfindel's (IIRC) prophecy probably everyone thought he meant the race "Man", rather than the gender.


i was just about to bring this up.
i was so confused when the movie had her kill the witch king, instead of Merry doing it

Even the first XCOM wasn't great on console. I was incredibly pissed off when I got a game-ending bug in Enemy Within on the 360. Because of it, I'll probably never turn on Ironman again. Even now that I have XCOM 2 on PC I'd be hesitant to enable Ironman.


so, what makes Ironman is the fact that there's only one save that gets saved over every time.

but on PC, this can be circumvented by simply opening the gamefiles, going to Saves, and just copy and paste it somewhere else. that way you can have a backup save.
so if the game breaks (or you're just not happy with the results of some moves), just delete the save in the gamefiles, and paste the copy.

True. Although you can also just commit to avoiding savescumming.


yeah. but when you have problems with gamebreaking bugs as you said, then i feel you have every right to deal with it like that.

It is pretty common for thieves to steal things and melt/ sell for pennies on the dollar. Makes it less tracable too.


if that's all they wanted, they would have just gone to some random schmuck somewhere, not taken the crown jewels.
the risk vs reward isn't worth it if they are just gonna melt it down.

This was either commissioned by a very wealthy collector who wants them for an illegal private collection, or, they've already been melted down.


i can believe the commission hypothesis.
but the melting down idea is pretty implausible. it woul make it worth nothing more than scrap metal.


How many grams of gold do you think are in it? Altogether, there is probably enough scrap gold there to still be worth a small fortune. Although, I do favour the commission hypothesis myself.


it's not just "how many grams"
it's also about purity, i don't know if age plays a factor.

the beads, crystals and pearls can theoretically just be picked off and sold individauly for probably a pretty penny.
but without knowing the exact makeup of the gold, whether it's 100% or just an alloy on top of other metals, or if it's all mixed together, it's impossible to predict the scrap metal value, but i can guarantee that it's worth way less than the whole thing intact.

there might be a case to be made for comparing him to bismarck


what?
that sounds absolutely ridiculous.

Bismarck is pretty much the driving factor in how Germany united.
while all i see from Trump is divisions, both within the nation and by annoying other nations.

but the writers confirmed its a new slayer.


in that case it's fine.

but so far it's been presented as "Buffy is now black", not "the new Slayer is black"

so any annoyance (from my part at least) is due to poor communication

slow dance with the girl i have a crush on.
and there it goes, poking her in the thigh.
i think i just stuck my butt out a little so it wouldn't make contact

But thats what slow dances for


yeah, no.
i knew she didn't like me like that.
so i don't think she would approve if i just started poking her with it.

that whole part where they train to be soldiers is completely skipped over at first, and is shown entirely in flashbacks one piece at a time.

I think the Asari canonically run the risk of actually killing you. I'd probably risk it though.


only Ardat-Yakshi Asari do that.
and there are very few of those around, especially after what happened to them in the Reaper War.

also, the fuck are the "Orion"?
