An[chat] Rome

Chanus

This is Rome



In the early 14th century, it was ruled, much like America today, by a dysfunctional Senate made up of stodgy old dudes and firebrand upstarts.



Political tensions made things difficult for an aging and crumbling empire, such that they had to start stabbing each other just to get anything done.



This eventually led to their downfall when they were invaded by the Huns in 1492.



Sad times ensued. We have no record of history since then because of the Dark Ages and all we know is what has been passed down through oral tradition.

She really is. Somehow she has some magic where she can be talking about shitting herself and still be adorable.

I followed a bit at the beginning but stopped because it just made me want to play really bad.

I may need to purchase them rules...

@DiannaoChong That's a pretty common problem to have, and it boils down to having an inexperienced squad/platoon leader. There are amazing fights out there to be had, but you have to know how to find them, how to predict where your allies/enemies are going, and when to give up and leave. I will almost never lead my people to a fight that isn't even, and I'll split my squads and platoons across multiple territories to make it even if I have to.

Planetside 2 is a game that is really best experienced with a good squad.

Unfortunately, I can't lead all of the platoons .

y2jake215

You can probably replace women with people. If men got called it more they'd probably hate it too

Thomamelas

Hmm...Airplane joke makes me happy.

First couple of times I just rolled out to the biggest group of blues, and we had this awesome long-range tank fight going on across the deserts on Indar - so we had like, all these tanks shelling each other and the infantry charging dunes down the middle to get in range with the rockets.

More recently was some crazy thing between the local outfits where we took a bunch of bases, and then got swarmed by an entire platoon riding in Sunderers - like, enough that massed fire was popping tanks really quick. So we take them down, move on, and we end up holding Abandon NS offices or something and kind of sniping attrition down their tanks - then it mysteriously goes quiet, like, just way fewer guys...and then suddenly we end up with like 30 Mosquitos suddenly in the sky. Perfectly timed so they all came into view at once first. Which led to the awesomest push back ever since we dived in and pulled Max's to take them down, then ended up fighting a coordinated ground repel as well.

You don't happen to play on Connery, do you? Because "30 Mosquitoes suddenly appeared in the sky" sounds an awful lot like EXE.

It's been 4 hours, damnit.

I wish there was an option called "do not deliver, just let me pick it up as soon as it arrives at the local sort facility" because DIS WAIT.

i imagine anyone who isn't intentionally trying to be adorable would feel somewhat patronised by being called adorable

I am 100% okay with being called adorable.

What vid card did you get, Chu?

yup, and the rumor mills are saying that it will sell almost as many (if not as many outright) as the PS4 did at launch.

Also, the rumors mills are talking about dead disc drives in a few units.

Rumor mills are harrowing places right now.

last time i missed a package there was physically no way for me to prevent them from deliving it again the same day when i wouldnt be there again

it's a law of physics or some shit, no, you cannot go pick up your package unless they've had two failed attempts at delivering it

Jennifer Lawrence is one of the few celebrities who genuinely seem like they would be totally cool to hang out with. I think her, George Clooney and Sandra Bullock top my list for 'Celebrities I want to have a beer with."

Winky

I feel as though all people can be kind of adorable, when looked at in the right light, and that being upset about being called adorable might mean you take yourself too seriously.

The Razor's Edge

I've never tried leading a platoon in Planetside. It can't possibly be harder than leading a real one.

Have to admit I was a Radeon guy at first but I have to say that my last card and current one have given me little problems (last one being a Twin Frozr GTS 250 and current being an EVGA Geforce 560 Ti).

As much as I like Aubrey Plaza, I imagine actually hanging out with her would be weird unless we knew each other really well.

So we'll just have to hang out a bunch.

i don't know what's good or bad about my set-up.

i just bought parts and mishandled them into a computer case until it worked.

My computer is a cargo-cult computer. it's made of hay and rocks.
