http://getgreenshot.org/ Assuming I'm understanding your request this should do. I don't personally use it but one of web dev friends likes it. Can auto-share your screenshots to Dropbox/Imgur/etc if that's what you're wanting.

Somewhat amazed not seen anything crop up that's Shadow of Mordor-like, or even a sequel of sorts. (In fact given the game being "Middle-Earth" instead of "Lord of the Rings" I'd figured we were in for a run of games set in that area but not following the fellowships activities but that's the only one to surface so far).

I need to get back into that, had some area with a comb of puzzle+toxic gas clouds that I carried on getting pissed at, but now I've a free upgrade to the enhanced edition it might fare better especially now I've got more a hang of it.

Ghiblhi backgrounds: http://erfrischungsgetraenk.minus.com/uploads (though doesn't seem to be loading properly atm...) I'm currently rocking the No Mans Sky concept art I linked in the relevant thread. I'm very much a "it's a background and shouldn't be visually distracting or busy" type wallpaper guy. On my phone I'm still rocking the shot from the Force Awakens trailer of the x-wings coming in with the sun behind them.

MP is just politician in general, we've not had any council members or mayors killed that I can tell, though have had a few Lords n royalty over the centuries. It's also used to differentiate that since the last MP killed in 1990, we've had two other assassinations though those were a Russian spy and a BBC presenter (both are essentially open cases, though the former more down to diplomatic issues of bringing in a world leader on charges of conspiracy to commit murder) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassinations_in_Europe#United_Kingdom And specifically MPs which yeah come under 3 categories of motives being debt, IRA, and the currently unknown motives* for Jo Cox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_serving_British_MPs_who_were_assassinated *I think it's fairly well assumed at the moment. The fact that it's unsurprising that the guy might be part of Britain First is a sign of how we've allowed toxic far-right extremism to grow n fester. I know myself n my sister cringe n usually have a bit of a go at our mum when she shares anything from them or related pages. Certainly disgusting to see Daily Mail n Sun, who help cheer on this growth of far-right, to be all "how tragic, killed by a loner". I'm sure they'd be running different headlines if it wasn't a white guy yelling "britain first" that was the perpetrator. Oh they're going with the "mentally ill" angle too which is always nice to see put out there too.

Dang even the EU release of Last Guardian has the shit cover this time around. Also I need to go through n work out when the games I'm wanting to play are coming out.
-
What's your list cos Wiki has a pretty long list of assassinated US politicians with the last one being last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassinated_American_politicians (which tbh the most recent on that list I'm aware of is Harvey Milk n mainly cos they made a film about him) And yeah there was Gabby Gilfords too, who was one of those giving support yesterday.
-
Yeah the real Jordan Belfort shows up in a cameo in the "sell me this pen" scene at the end. Also the issue you take with the ending is sort of the entire point of the ending. It's biographical, not a fantasy of "the bad guy loses in the end".
-
It's actually pretty surprising, this is the first assassination of a UK MP since 1990, and the first non-Irish related assassination since the early 19th century. Usually people just throw eggs. The shooter is in custody, hopefully we'll learn more and things will become clearer. The husband is doing far better than I think most would in his situation: It's shit all around. For all the fears of the outcome of the referendum, and the day starting with folks mocking Farage for using Nazi imagery, this is beyond anyone's wildest fears. It sucks, it sucks that some people are just so full of hate and they'll act upon that. It sucks that a young mother died because of someones fucked up ideology. This past week in general has sucked.

https://30years.ubi.com/en-GB/operation-index As part of their "Ubi30", Ubisoft are giving away a free game a month until the end of the year. This month it's Prince of Persia.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36550304 Well the EU referendum has now reached a point where a politician has been shot and stabbed. It's a still developing story, she's alive though critical. Both sides of referendum have pulled out of campaigning. It's suspected the shooter was a member of Britain First so that's a bit disturbing that they've progressed from shitty FB posts to radicalising British white men. edit: She's died. Fuck :/

It sucks. Like it's really getting to me too, especially with the idiocy displayed. I'm generally avoiding following it but I'm to understand Farage is currently campaigning in a boat along the Thames. I'm hoping the FTSE drop the last week will wake folks up that it really will heavily damage the UK economy if we leave. My step-mum works for a swedish company (their main known consumer brand being Flymo) and only reason their factory is still based in UK is cos of an uptick in sales on automatic mowers (like roombas, but for your lawn). Most of the sales aren't within the UK (we have small lawns...heck I've not lived anywhere with a lawn for 10 years now). We leave then the company is likely to shift production to one of their Polish factories and there's hundreds of jobs gone poof. Many of those campaigning to leave will all be pretty cozy regardless of the outcome.

All I know of Redbox is they're a purveyor of photocopies of blu-rays and games.

Are you wanting to export your texts, sort of like a back-up, or as in access the current texts on your phone from the web. For the former use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en_GB Then I guess throw in Drive/Dropbox or whatever of your choice. For the latter use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pushbullet.android&hl=en_GB And this Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pushbullet/chlffgpmiacpedhhbkiomidkjlcfhogd And/or this on your iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pushbullet/id810352052?ls=1&mt=8 (though I'm unsure if it'll shunt from Android to iPhone, I know I can respond to texts from my Android tablet though so it might work.). I <3 pushbullet. Does more than SMS, but I use it a fair bit for that if my parents are messaging me and what not. Much easier to use my PC keyboard to reply.

My only issue with Endless Space is it take a bit to get the ball rolling on your empire, especially given the four way tech tree, and the combat was a bit weird but you soon get a bit used to it.
-
Tis a fun twist on Civ with a touch of Endless Space lore. Though Endless Space has the far superior soundtrack.

He has a beard, that's enough.

Part of the vigil at Old Compton street (sort of the gay centre of London. Had it's own homophobic attack some years ago when someone set off a nail bomb) Figured a good share if Americans ain't seen. I believe there's been similar in Paris too.
-
Rocksteady doing a PSVR (and likely Rift/Vive) version of their Batman Arkaham games. Unsure if this is going to be a remake-tweak of the past games or if it will be a standalone game. Also priced at $399 with 50 titles on launch which is a pretty dang healthy amount though I imagine at least 5 to 10 of those will be more tech-demo type games same as had with the Move in the painting stuff n block moving things.
-
PS4 and PSVR trailer. Honestly the VR implementation looks really shitty n half hearted but at least done in a way that won't impact the main game. On Xbox stage they had a boss fight, it looked really really wank and I think maybe not the best sequence they could have done, maybe would have been better with a bit of traversing and smaller mobs to maybe then end with a big titan boss popping up instead of making it the main feature.
-
A new gameplay sequence showing some of the trapping, crafting, interface and such.
-
Apart from like a very brief cameo they didn't mention this one at all, which makes me think that recent GT games must have really panned cos this used to be one of their main pantheon games.

Three years later: With a release date of 25 October 2016.

Never been much of a God of War person, but this looked kinda neat, and the kid survived to the end of their gameplay video. Now he's taken out the greek gods seems he's going after the norse gods.
