I enjoyed the Hunger Games series. Didn't enjoy the ending to the final book, however. I've been on a bit of a reading frenzy recently, since I bought a Kindle at Xmas so downloaded a load of free books. Ones I would recommend are "The Night Circus," by Erin Morgenstern, which is a really weird paranormal fantasy book, "The Sisters Brothers," by Patrick deWitt, which is a Western book and is excellent, and the sequel to "The Name of the Wind," called "Wise Man's Fear" by Patrick Rothfuss. Currently reading "The Golden Acorn", by Catherine Cooper. Picked it up for free on the Kindle. It's not brilliant, it is seemingly aimed at the younger end of the YA bracket, and it's pretty uninspiring stuff, but I've started it so I'll finish.

WWE12 and Skyrim. WWE12 when I want to watch something on my laptop as well, Skyrim all the rest of the time.

Oh yeah, I'm siding with the Stormcloaks. I don't tend to be bad, but occasionally I will indulge in some pilfering or murder.

I have this. On the PS3. Yes, I'm lame and playing the console version, but my laptop is rubbish. So far I've got through the main quest to kill the first dragon, inadvertantly finding the dragonstone from the cave for the main quest before even getting to the Jarl. I've also had the shit scared out of me by a gigantic spider, and died against a flame atronach, and also when I picked a fight with those weird green skinned elves who have poisonous bows in a cave somewhere. I ran away from that cave for now. Playing a Breton specialising in Destruction, Conjuration and One Handed, currently.

It's had some major updates. I haven't played properly in some time.

I'm cool

I loved ADWD. I have a hard on for anything involving Tyrion, so there was nothing wrong with his chapters imo. Ditto Dany. I enjoyed all the new characters too. I need to re-read it.

Is this still happening? I am interested. Dean: Homebrew campaigns are the best! Using ready made ones are really restrictive.

*necros* Paradox are having a sale on Steam. I cannot afford to buy the complete pack. I have EU3. Which HoI game and which Victoria game should I buy?

MORE FUCKING BALLOONS. Also, James Corden should still fuck off, and also x 2, that clown is freaky.

Looks so good.

I'm contemplating doing it on my other laptop, but I'll see.

Yes but I'm not saying it's as easy as that just to label a spoiler as a "ACOK spoiler" or a "AFFC spoiler." The timelines jump around so much that it's hard to separate events sometimes.

Yes, but you're suggesting doing a book discussion, you've only read books 1 and 2. We can't talk about 3 and 4, but it's difficult not to. I'm re reading AFFC atm, it's a lot better on the second read.

When I suggested that it was shot down!

No because you'll cry about spoilers for ASOS and AFFC if we accidentally do it. Basically it's hard to talk about the next three books in isolation because events in ACOK are intrinsically linked to the rest of the series.

I bought Oblivion last week. Admittedly on my PS3, but I bought it. It's pretty fun. I'm shit though

Here is a bit of my Third Year rant on my last set of housemates: I've just started reflecting on my last year in Norwich (2009/10). It really wasn't that good. I had come out of the Second Year with worse than expected results, but I had been confident that my module choices would help me to pull my grades up to the 2.1 I wanted. (They did). So, I went into my third year fairly confident. I had been living in a three person house with one person I hardly saw, and one person who was really pissing me off. It had also led to me having a number of arguments with person number 2's then-girlfriend (who is now one of my closest friends), and it was generally pretty shitty. So, I had agreed to move in with three people I was on really good terms with, and was sure that it would be better. What a fucking joke that turned out to be. Immediately my house was turned into the Anime Society's party central. Well, not immediately, but Hallowe'en was a massive party at my house. I was at work at 5am the next morning, but did that bother people? Did it fuck. I went to bed at 1am and was interrupted three or four times with people entering my room, mistaking it for the bathroom. Worst night's sleep ever. And then, I had to clean up the house when I finished work because everyone else was in their respective pits. One housemate got herself a boyfriend. That was fine. Then she changed, almost overnight. We never saw her. She came home to eat, and left dirty pots everywhere, which I then ended up cleaning. Her boyfriend was loud and obnoxious, and was generally unpleasant. (Incidentally, said boyfriend was unbelievably horrible to Lisa the first time she came to be social with them all, and I have hated him ever since.). The two of them decided to start inviting people over, but exclude the rest of the house from their social gatherings-hijacking my TV and PS2 to watch DVDs etc. Housemate number 2 had told us he was returning to uni to resit his third year. I found out in September he wasn't, he was going to have to find a job. However, he had sleeping problems and was generally unable to a) search for work or B) do anything but eat and sleep. Except party. He could do that. He never had any money, so he was always behind on the rent. Which meant that the rest of us received emails from the landlady on a regular basis, demanding we either got him to pay, or we would have to pay it ourselves. Added stress. Now, Housemate 3 was fine. Relations between Housemates 1 and 2, however, reached breaking point and exploded at some point in June. I have no idea what happened, really, as I was at home, having an operation, but when I returned to Norwich, I found that Housemate 2 had left, and my friendship group was in tatters. It destroyed my plans for my 21st birthday party, and generally fucked my friendships up with certain people. The house was perenially untidy, and it wasn't really a nice place to be, but I dealt with it.

Just got Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

I slept. Slept some more. Watched the f1 practice. Played Terraria. Slept a little bit more. Finished reading Misery and then watched the film. Went out to the pub also.

Holy fucking shit that last scene was phenomenal. Brilliantly made. Fucking awesome show. Can't believe it's over. Show spoiler and possibly nsfw picture:
