I do know that wildfire was based on dragon fire but having magic within them? Perhaps. I know for sure that the ones Bronn set off was the newer stuff... still seemed pretty damn powerful but what isn't when pack together like that? I suppose how powerful wildfire is measured if it can melt stone and how well if it can. Eh. Magic.

What? That shit is magic. Though they sort of left that out of the show. Actually they might have completely left it out... Wildfire is magic now? I always figured it was Westerosi's version of Greek fire. Something that can be made without magic especially considering the Mad King ordered a ton to be made in a time where magic was pretty dead. Come on, even most of

Just finished. By the Seve- Lord of Light, R'hllor, Stannis was quite the badass. The fear in their faces was quite something. Then with Edit: I was on Reddit and came across this gem: "The night is green and full of science." I'm still grinning from this.

I finally got to the . FUCK YEAH.

Spam fried rice since I am at the point in the quarter where I am reduced to depleting my stores due to low funds and FIFO. Non-clumpy fried rice is pretty damn good and mixing sweet and regular soy sauce makes the rice slightly sweet and salty without one flavor dominating the other. Edit 05/27: Leftover fried rice is still really good. Nuking it didn't make it soggy or super dry. I am surprised.

I won't lie, the art style is kinda creepy for the ponies. Kind of reminds me of the earlier generations of ponies.

Too much grinding with no decent award for my taste. The closest I got to MMOs were Maple Story and Mabigoni or whatever it was called. Ah... my animu years.

Cock sauce is good for most things but I never heard it for wings. And eating healthy with a grapefruit/pomello. I've been having one for lunch for two weeks now.

A certain song by The National. Spoilers because its quite an important song. I love this rendition. Anybody can sing along with it... if they wanted to. Edit: http://filmmusicrepo...dtrack-details/ It is an official song.

http://www.fastcoexi...ketchup-flowing Its non toxic since the team worked with a list of FDA approved materials. They are currently trying to market it to companies. I wish them best of luck since if I call anything magic, this is indeed one of them. I would look at a company in a better light if they used something like this. Also, my avatar is my reaction to seeing the videos.

I'm all for playing it as vanilla as possible but how dark it is is just too much. I like the idea of 24 hours days but if that is the case, the nights should be brighter. Like full moon bright. You should be impaired but not completely blinded. Well, time to turn up the gamma. Edit- Tips: It seems zombies only spawn around loot or places that can have loot. Use this to travel safely in the dark. No compass? Find the north star. Seriously. I haven't tried it but it seems to be built into Arma 2 --- WINCHESTER, FUCK YEAR! They're not kidding when they said it can decimate a horde. It takes out people really quick too. FYI, if we're not running for our lives, I will shoot bandits if given a good enough chance.

I don't know how I feel about them... and I guess he (PHO) is confirmed as a brony too eh? I remember this artist from my active dA days. Wonderful artist.

They're also bright as hell so if you carry them on you, you're more or less blind in first person mode. Its tough at night for sure. On my second go, I spawned by a squad who got wiped out* since I saw a few bodies which means with my flare on, I attracted pretty much every zed head that killed that group to me when I had to defend myself. While running around to stay alive, I was shot at while a horde was chasing after me. I suppose someone from that group survived and now want to kill me for amassing the horde. I eventually gave up after much blood lost so I just walked into a dining room and waited as they walked into the doors. At least I died from blood lost instead of zed getting me personally. *Visual representation of what I walked into

So I manage to finally get the mod running. Since this mod run on a 24 hour cycle, I started in the dark. Needless to say that I died a horrible death. Its just so hilarious on HOW it started. I was running around with a flare on so I can see where I was going. I more or less cleared a town, with no zombies in sight so I figured I was safe until that single flare I was using ran out. No problem I thought, I'll just light another. Straight out from a horror flick, as I lit the new flare I see two zeds 25 meters ahead of me. No problem, I'll just turn arou- three more on the other side of the fence that I JUST came from. I had the reaction to take a step back, they growled and I ran. I had a mob of at least 5 chasing after me as I ran straight out of town, undoubtedly attracting more. I threw a flare or two so I could engage, which allowed me to eventually take out 8 out of geez, 30, as I ran back to town for a final stand. I ran into a house that I knew had some more weapons and I barred the door and I waited as I was bleeding out... I say, this is a fine introduction to ARMA 2 and Day Z. Edit: Note. If you get the game from Amazon install in the following order: Arma 2 Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead Version 1.60 (http://www.arma2.com/supply/game-updates) Install mod with Day Z Updater (http://www.worrom.com/) [You can do it however you like though] When you first run the Arma 2, you must go to the expansions tab to select Day Z once or two then you're pretty much good to go. If you get the Steam version, it should be easier since it seems the updater auto patch the Steam launcher.

Not too bad.

**insert conspiracy theory** Which brings me into this point: The government is the law. Things can turn really sour if they misstep or get manipulated. A group or company misstepping or being manipulative? You smack them. You can do the same with the government but the damage can be so much more severe. With this in mind, I can see why some folks want a more hands off government. Personally, I am wary of big government (Gift from my family who came from China) but I can see its uses and important role. I also see how groups and companies can do good and be of use for the people since they can be quite powerful and they can have more leeway to do things than the government can. Some off the top of my head is Virgin, perhaps Redbull and David Cameron. This is will be hard to think about and put into words if I go on further so I'm just going to cut it short: Balance is my point and goal. I like to make choices that can bring balance to things so at times I will do a thing one way one time and the opposite another time. Balance can be hard (Look at this thread, yeesh.) and tough choices will be made. It also fucking hard to keep to. And yeah, what FDS said. Its tiring to even read some of the stuff in this thread. Go out and have a smoke or something.

The government can also serve their own interests or the interests of others that may not be positive to individuals and/or groups. The government isn't immune to being heavily flawed, as everybody knows. People are people.

$15 I could swallow. However, I should be watching my cash. Especially with the end of the quarter period where cash is getting tighter...
