Evening Reading
by Brian Leahy, May 18, 2010 5:00pm PDTWhy are you even reading this? Shouldn't you be playing Red Dead Redemption?
As for me, it's pre-E3 week as Garnett and myself attend fancy, secret events to get a sneak-peek at some of the games you'll be seeing at E3 2010. Don't worry, we can't talk about any of it just yet.

A RTS game that has all the standard RTS gameplay in it, except when it comes to sending in soldiers to do combat. When you send in a bunch of soldiers, you can opt to take control of one of them and participate in the combat taking place. Once the combat is over or your soldier is dead, you go back to the RTS view and continue playing the game as an RTS until combat begins again. Maybe be able to take control of your characters outside of combat and walk around inside the map you're playing in to do certain things.
I would love to play a game like this. The only two I can think of that come even remotely close to this are C&C: Renegade and Spore, but those aren't quite it. My concept is probably trying to mash two gaming worlds together that really shouldn't be, but I love the idea of sending soldiers into combat and then becoming part of the action. Does such a game exist, or am I being a wishful thinker?

So when you buy a horse where does it end up? I checked the corral and it wasn't there.
Plus I just had a cool moment where I took down some asshole bandits and they all flew off their horses except one who was dead but still being dragged by his horse.
Also, really love the bounty missions. So much fun.
Horsey is getting easier to control too!

I walked right up to a nice lake, I'd ridden a log time and needed a refreshment, so I figured a dip in the cool looking water would serve my aching cowboy body some good. I leisurely walked towards the water, noticed that his arms didn't open to tread the current, and once I got head deep, not even a gurgle or a glub, just....DEAD.

I need a little help. I'm applying to renew my passport, and im currently living abroad in germany. I got all the forms and stuff from the embassy and im good to go, except im getting a little confused by some of the notes included with the forms.
To be clear i'm a british born citizen, born and raised in the uk, with both british parents. On the form is says i need to include my birth certificate, and bother my parents certificate + their marriage certificate + my old passport. Am i reading this wrong? It seems a little extreme, spoke to my mum back home and she says she never had to include that stuff. And besides i dont have time for her to find it and post it our here.
Am i reading this wrong is this something you have to include if your applying for your first passport rather than a renewal? Im confused :(

Stop fucking alt-tabbing while searching for a game. Yes, you. Stop that. Are you so goddamn impatient that you can't wait 10 seconds for a game to fire? You have to fuck around and come in the game late and screw me up? Die.
I feel better.

At long last, I have added a new dress to my collection which I've had my eye on from the moment the Emblem of Frost vendor was added to the game. It's the [Meteor Chaser's Raiment]: http://www.wowhead.com/item=50974
It was 95 frost badges. I don't raid any more, so it took me 43 days of daily heroics and two weekly raid bosses (Flave Levi and Noth), and tonight I finally had enough badges to get it. It's one of the most detailed robe textures I've seen in the game, especially compared to some of the outfits from the old world. Plus, the stats are amazing for a holy paladin as long as you don't mind wearing cloth, which I obviously don't. Win-win!
So.... now what? This was kinda the only reason I kept logging in.
