Perhaps the iron born have been teaching them for weeks/months? -

I agree with Ethan, the mechanics of face changing don't bother me in the least. It's some sort of sorcery. Perhaps the faces are in the hall not to be worn as masks, but so that you can copy them? You could in theory just focus on someone's face and copy it. The faceless men use the faces as a way of making sure the face they wear isn't the face of someone who (a) they recently killed and so shouldn't be seen strolling around or (b) they might bump into on the street. It's like a database of face. A dataface. As for teleporting, yeah, they could have gone with "several weeks later", or some calendar reference on screen, but it'd break immersion a bit. It's not like we're watching 24. -

Aside from Dany, Gendry probably has the best claim. He's the eldest (assuming any other survivors) natural born son of King Robert Baratheon. Someone (perhaps a Warden of the [Compass Direction]) could legitimise him as Roose did to Ramsay and Stannis proposed to do with Jon. -
It's a scutter!

Sweet. Cheers for sorting that Dean.

I agree a monthly sub would be easier for me. Otherwise, don't be shy about reminders. I'm always happy to chuck some money at this forum.

Nobody knows what's gonna happen. Currency is in the doldrums right now, might bounce back, might not. Companies with EU headquarters in England (Hi everyone!) might move to mainland Europe (shit!), or they might not (phew!).

I was being facetious about the shouting. Chill out dudes.

LevelCap says it very well fwiw.

So, while Dean and Ethan shout at each other on Twitter, I'm going to put down some thoughts here so we can have more reasoned discussion unrestrained by a 140 char limit. TinyBuild are seeing hundreds of thousands of $$$s worth of keys popping up on G2A. G2A says it doesn't check who is selling the keys, where they came form and is in no way responsible for the money that TinyBuild is losing (but they would be happy to buy keys for cheap from TinyBuild direct, undercutting TinyBuild's other partners who aren't screwing them over - how nice of them). A number of the keys sold by G2A do come from "legit" if somewhat "grey" sources, like people who buy bundles, and then sell on unwanted keys, however the number of keys being traded, coupled with the number of charge backs on fraudulent purchases TinyBuild are seeing clearly point to wholesale fraudulent credit card purchasing. Where I think G2A are being shady here is that unlike CEX and similar trade in outfits, G2A do nothing to verify a seller's identity, so someone can set up an anonymous account, sell a bunch of keys, cash out and disappear. G2A know (though they would never admit) that the keys are coming from questionable sources (otherwise how would an anonymous account (or several similar ones) turn up selling keys in small batches?), but G2A are happy to turn a blind eye as it is making them money. TinyBuild are trying to do right by their consumers, they don't have the team size to track and monitor where all their keys are going to because it is more cost efficient to create large batches rather than small trackable ones. This means that they can't deactivate suspect keys without also deactivating legit keys. Even if they could, it would seem harsh to cancel someone's key when they bought it from G2A in good faith. So there it is. I personally would avoid purchasing off of G2A for similar reasons to avoiding TeeChip. They are being willfully ignorant to dishonest, even criminal activity so that they can profit off of it and wash their hands of responsibility.

I'll probably get a Neo when it drops, I can trade in my PS4 against it, and it'll complement my PS VR purchase, and give me an excuse to get a 4K TV.

Never regretted a day one Sony purchase. Didn't buy the Vita on day one? Yup, and I still use it regularly. Platinummed Day of the Tentacle on it the other day in fact.

I would have guessed about 3 times as long as you have currently been playing...

If the solution is something that is fair (doesn't involve something arbitrary like punching in a button sequence on your controller), then I don't think it's ass. If it is completely arbitrary, like some FFXII open the wrong chest and you're fucked for getting the ultimate weapon thing, then yeah, it is ass.

Was thinking that myself. All the reports were "a 50-something year old man" which made me immediately think that it was obviously not a brown person cos otherwise they would be leading with that. And yeah, typical to bring up mental health. Brown person = Radical religious zealot of whom there are millions more, probably every brown person in fact, keep a weather eye out. White person = extraordinarily rare mental issues which should have been treated so it's not really even his fault, but at least he's the only one and the rest of us aren't xenophobic fascists right guys?

They've lost the plot.

2/3 people who want to leave EU think that we shouldn't listen to "experts" and should instead rely on the "common sense" of "ordinary people". I'm so done. Done done done. https://twitter.com/JoeTwyman/status/743079695986622464

He's a God. Of War. Why the hell would he need to wrap up warm? Plus, as someone who is not a God of Anything and has gone running in sub zero temperatures, I can assure that he would be plenty warm with all the stuff he gets up to.

Weird experiencing the feels over killing a deer, but we're all cool with brutally dispatching the other things in this game. I know that's kind of a point they were making. Hope it gets fleshed out and isn't cast aside like the back story in Days Gone.

Since when does Maisie Williams have a "troglodyte face"? That just seems unnecessary. -
This is sickening. Way to politicise the deaths of people half a world away to fit your agenda. https://twitter.com/LeaveEUOfficial/status/742317894978174976
