Oh better yet, is online still supported for AoE2? We could do Starks (Teutons), Lannisters (Britons), Ironborn (Vikings), Dornish (Saracens), Dothraki (Mongolians), Golden Company (Persians), and the other Mercs (Visigoths)

Well, I guess I need to get steam now. Age of Empires 2 and Age of Myth are the only games my lovely Costco laptop can run.

I'm trying to play chrono trigger on it now and it's so painful. But not as painful as random encounters gently caress those forever

Found it, from the 2010 edition of the Bad Thread.

quote:

"Yo, that's ten points on the dollar, sucker," Cheese Wagstaff intoned, feeling the colour rise to his cheeks. Redwyne's men were all snickering in the market square. They thought him a fool, then. The man's shiny plate far outmatched Cheese's own scuffed and dirty Jordans, far outshined his loose, white shirt emblazoned with Method Man's crest.

"You deign to tell me what price you set for the King's supply, ser? You whelp! I will have satisfaction!" Redwyne drew his notched longsword to gasps of surprise from onlookers and amusement from his own men. Rheumatic Lin gave him a supportive nudge at his swordarm, ready to be his second. "Draw, you dog, you miserable whoreson spawn!"

Cheese had had enough. He tossed the sealed container back at his man Ed Bizzy, staring sheer waves of hate at the pompous knight in front of him.
"My momma? poo poo, nigga, now it's on."
With that, Wagstaff drew his glock 9 from beneath his house colours and shot three times, point blank. One round flew wide, blowing a chunk off a porter boy's ear, the next rebounded off of Redwyne's lobstered steel guantlet, jerking his arm back. The third punctured his enameled plate, through ribs and lung and viscera.

The maester's eyes widened, full of stunned horror. The talks had failed. There was no way they could re-up in time for the coming battle. Blood poured, thick and dark from Redwyne's wound.

"Yeah, that's some red wine for your boys now, motherfucker," Cheese snorted, motioning to his crew to get to their horses. He backed up slowly, piece still smoking in the late autumn twilight.

"Milk..." rasped the knight, as his attendants rushed to him. "Poppy..." he strained.
The maester rushed to his side, glancing between the young men from the Summer Isles and his liege lord's right hand man.
"Please!" he cried. "You've done your harm today, give us a dram, so that he might not suffer."

Cheese switched the safety on his firearm and motioned once more. He tossed the container full of the sweet poppy's milk towards the dying man.
"Price just went up, suckers. Fifteen points on the dollar. Let them know." He chuckled, turned, and mounted up his chrome-plated destrier. They left the dying knight and his entourage in the middle of the street, knowing that they had succeeded in this, the latest move in the neverending game.

Boss: "Hey Rome, can I have those reports I asked for a couple weeks ago?"
Me: "I dunno, I'm working on it. It'll be done when it's done."
Boss: "Well, it looks like you're sitting there watching TV."
Me: "I'm a very busy person. I deserve a break once in a while."
Boss: "You're watching TV or playing video games or going to conventions every single time I walk in, though. Not trying to be rude, but when are you actually writing the reports?"
Me: "It'll be finished eventually, get off my back."
Boss: "Rome, I'm trying to be polite, but we're paying you money to finish these reports. Can you give us an estimate or something?"
Me: "No. It'll be done when it's done."
Boss: "That's...not good enough--"
Me: "Stop being so entitled. I already gave you some reports years ago. Stop demanding more."

On a somewhat tangential note: I am not attending comic con this year, but I have in past years been to all previous GoT panels and I just want to reaffirm that GRRM is a creepy gently caress who spends all his time harassing both the male and female actors and made everyone in the audience very uncomfortable. Goddammit I still have Nam flashbacks to him licking his loving earthworm lips as he interrogates Emilia Clarke as to why the Quartheen gowns were not accurate to the books.
