"The La-den" The story I am about to tell was told to me in turn in the strictest confidence by an acquaintance of long standing. I swore to her that I would not repeat it to another living soul, but I cannot in good conscience keep my silence any longer. As my friend passed away some years ago leav...

I'm really surprised that RD hasn't reacted to PZ's infantile nonsense at this point.

Good point, I' ve been trained (U.S.) to think that if they're in government they're part of a major party.

Yeah, I've been trying to point out that they are small most of the times I've been talking about them.

You should do whatever is best for you. You've done a hell of a good job here over the last couple of years, but nothing is worth sacrificing your health over.

Destiny, anyone? I had a lot of fun in the alpha/beta, so I've been stupid and pre-ordered. But what the hell, I want to play it regardless, so no point in waiting for reviews that will have no impact on my decision.

If anyone will be playing it on PS4 my PSN ID is GaladanWolf, feel free to add me.
