I gather from what Stenshi has said that perhaps regular readers of fantasy have no problem, but if Brain and 6264 share my sentiment it may want cutting down. I mean, I'm sure it is valuable information but I felt it takes you right out of the story. You've got a strong enough opening that it's possible to leave a little 'mystery' and fill in a bit more as you go. Again, it may depend on what style you're going for (since it is based on history) but I prefer the sense of intrigue with a slow burn of exposition.

The Vandals have some great lyrics. Love the tune too.

Goddamn, fuck those stupid bears. Nastas was all, like, "They never attack you if you leave them alone". Fuck you, buddy. They're freaking teleporting more of the fuckers in to all charge at you.

No, that's a repost from elsewhere. I remember reading that before. EDIT: Ah, I'd seen it on RPS's 'Sunday Papers'. Not to say you couldn't have inspired the repost but chances are it's been doing the rounds.

You'll notice that British history has some overlaps, as well as gaps such as the small period before WWI broke out, where people were literally walking around, asking what era it was, to receive only shrugs.

It's cool seeing your skills come along, Lil' P. And I really like the watercolour-style. I love watercolours.

A 'reap us' edition sounds more like it.

I like the concept and the set-up you have going at the start. Besides the easily rectified things (begun not began, 'marraige') I think it leaps into too many new names and places all at once. It's probably a problem with which most fantasy contends, and perhaps avid readers soak up all that easily anyway, but it seems a bit overwhelming, personally.

I wasn't caught out because I'd heard about it (plus, it is very easy to amass a huge amount of money if you start early), but no way is there that significant a jump earlier during that section. It seems to go forward 30-50 days or something like that then jumps 100+ into the very end.

Hehe. The look is 'in vogue' at the moment. It needed to be a tough rod (*snicker*) because they are actually big ol' curtains to cover the double doors into the 'garden room' (really a conservatory but planning permission meant labelling it that...), thus keeping the living room warmer when that's not in use.

Hehe. Glad to help!

See if you can work out when this was taken.

Forgive me if I'm telling you something you already know, but there was an updated version released for XBLA, I believe.

Hate the player not the game.

Bought the Toy Story trilogy on Blu-Ray because it was £14. Bargain.

I believe it was originally 'heels over head', as in doing cartwheel or somersaults of joy. Like that verger at last year's Royal Wedding.

Hmm, I've always understood 'ass backwards' to mean doing something in the wrong order not what you've said. I guess it can mean both. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ass%20backwards

I've not heard 'arse first' but it sounds it's the other way of saying 'arse/ass backwards', which I'm sure Americans know.

LAAAAAARGE IMAGE I can't remember if images in spoiler tags still load automatically but I'll put it in there anyway.

Started playing Saints Row: The Third. It has been really fun so far. Plus, my female character has the same voice actor as Kainé. So much sweary goodness.
