I'm trying to decide whether I should get FF VII on my iPad. I got FF VI, and I really enjoyed it. The only problem I have is that they seemed to emulate the controller on the screen, and I kinda hate fiddling with a lot of controls on a touch screen.
FF VII!!!!! Why am I broke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dood, you should have stayed there and talked to girls dood!!!College girls? They're like a decade younger than me. Plus, I've already got enough problems dealing with Betty and Veronica here in Syracuse.
Yeah, you should have still a few years before you until hitting middle-age crisis...
I might start to look for young gals soon, though...
Who do I kid.
I probably won't bother.

And naked. Probably because you are broke. But we can see that you are quite excited by FF VII...

It wasn't my fault he asked me if i wanted to be sheriff, and of course i did, next thing i know he pulls this big ass automatic rifle off his back! so i blew him up, the other settlers i guess didn't like that, so i left.
I'll be back when i'm packing more heat tho:-)

that's not the story the deputy told me...
how to present ritualized slaughter to a modern audience mostly unfamiliar with the practice of slaughter or animal sacrifice and likely to think it is horrific inhumane and barbaric, when none of the characters think so
i mean where do people think the idea of a christmas ham came from ya? certainly not the catholics!
that's not the story the deputy told me...UP!

I blew him up too! and a couple more guys just for good measure, also they were shooting at me.
No more after that tho, i only had 3 grenades (i just started, again, stupid f~@&ing Skyrim pisses me off, i need a break)
I'll be back tho....

This is why I wish they went thru with it and did the Schrutte Farms office spin-off, you totally know that's what the Christmas episode would be about.
I have no actual advice, my party turned Baba Yaga's Hut into a dance club/animal sanctuary for orphaned familiars, and yet have no problem eating Ogre, Dire Corby and Alien Tentacles
I decided I'd just present it straight as if "lets place our hands on the boar and make our oaths, then we shall slay him" is just the same as decorating a christmas tree
which it is
fact: I really want to release be3t on Yule, maybe not Yule 2015 (since that is still a lot of color work to do) but Yule 2016 if I don't give up
the reason given that the first chapter of be3t is about a yule feast taking place about 13 years before the main events of the story.
And for those of you paying attention, be3t is a reinterpretation of the story of beowulf. (muahahahahaha)
I think we'll stick with the tree, I still get to use an axe and I don't have to pay for the inevitable therapy if I'd murdered a pig then said " alright kids there's the tree this year, enjoy!"

oh yeah I should probably clarify that when i say it's the same, I mean that it is a beloved winter solstice tradition.
Also this is taking place with a few 7-8 year old children present, as well as as a year or so old baby. The 8-year-old daughter of the king is in fact one of the people making her oath on the boar. This feast is in her honor after all.
the boar is eaten at the feast and the blood and remains given up to the gods.

This Saturday will forever be known as Beard Disaster Day, when I went to the barber's for a haircut and (foolishly) asked him to tidy up my beard. He took 'tidy up' to mean 'pass clippers over at randown, gouging out great chunks here and there so it looked like cremated hill giant's pubes', which meant I had to attempt to repair it later using PFPL's Ladyshave -
don't try this at home, kids.
- which worked as well as might be expected.
Now it is just a vague, anaemic fuzz. I am slightly traumatised, even if PFPL does think it looks much nicer, but fear not! With the help of Mighty Pogonos, Lord of the Hidden Chin, it shall rise again in all its unkempt glory! Hail Pogonos! Io! Io! Io!

I opened the window and now my apartment smells like the ocean, it's cool, breezy, and overcast out in the middle of an August day, and there is at least one public transit bus passing by my house every few minutes.
This is exactly why I wanted to move to San Francisco.
Oh, also did some thinking about my $1200 a month rent for a shared bedroom. When taking into account the fact that utilities are included in the rent rather than charged separately, the fact that I can walk to the university every day with ease, and the fact that I have no reason to buy a car or pay any costs involved with driving, that $1200 a month maybe isn't as expensive as it first looked.

what in God's name is pfpl?
people for picking locks
(honestly i have no idea? esoteric spouse nickname is my actual guess)
Ask your butcher if it will arrive with head, feet, and tail. There's always somebody who is squeamish about the head, so you might want to cut it off and put it on his plate, raw.

Esoteric spouse nickname is more or less right (we're not married, nor are we likely to be) - it's what I choose to call my girlfriend on these forums.
If she reads this, ex-girlfriend might be nearer the mark, but she won't.
fun fact: paizo boards are indexed on google.
That's why I don't talk about some things here.
EDIT: also it turns out that bleeding out a pig for slaughter takes about an hour and a half, so I'm going to be generous and call that two hours. The actual butchering process seems like it should go fairly quick if you're good at it as I imagine my 6th century Danes would be, so I'll give that half an hour to an hour.

Very long GURPS campaign with some US friends got finished today.
I kind of want to do a recap series of that too, but I need to plan that ahead.
Also, just for a taste of the epilogue, we survived a potential TPK with clever moves and a bit of luck.
Our group managed to change the world (for both better and worse), and my character technically became a demigod.

Especially strange from people who insist on eating flesh of their god and drinking his blood on a monthly basis...

Ogre? Yuck! That's so unsanitary... I am pretty sure they are riddled with parasites and diseases.
Probably on a par with snacking on raw otyugh...

Wait, I've given the leaders of the Fey trouble in both Pathfinder and in GURPS now. I wonder if it'll happen in a third game system as well.

Plot idea: Old Ways priesthood (who would be closer to D&D druids than clerics) having a schism over the proper method of ritual slaughter - should you slice the throat, decapitate in single motion, or open the animal belly (Mongolian way of slaughtering animals intended to prevent spilling the blood to retain it for making sausages).

Cutting the throat allows the essential pouring of blood into the sacrificial bowl.
I'll explain later on how it came about the eating of monsters, at work and on my break right now :-)

Yup. Mongolian way as I just found involved putting the animal on its back, opening its belly, and ripping the aorta causing internal bleeding while at the same time keeping all the blood inside the carcass - the blood was later drained out and used for sausages. Instead the blood could be used for ritual purpose, with slaughter being performed before the actual ceremony.

I used to help my dad butcher our animals (pigs, steers, chickens and turkeys) it was my least favorite time of the year, maybe because I was the one in charge of naming them and raising them. I guess you're not a man in the Midwest until you cap Wilbur in his pen:-(

Rest in peace little piggy you are with Freyr now. Also you were delicious.
I grew up in a small city so alas, I had no such experience (though I did get to dissect animals in bio labs and had the opportunity to excavate a near-whole frog brain once. the things are delicate and have long thin olfactory protrusions). But I'm willing to help with such a task.
Speaking of, I wonder how much slaughtering the animal by slicing the throat differs if you have no gun to shoot in the head with. This is the 6th century after all.

In today's Darklight Sisterhood game, I had the party face the charibdys, a dreaded creature of the deep. I thought it would be an amazing combat as the party would avoid being knocked overboard and do limited damage with it via spells and distance attacks. Truly, a battle for the ages.
They ate it.
THEY F*%+ING ATE IT.
The spellcasters INSISTED on using flame and lightning attacks against it, and forbade the fighters from wounding it, lest they spoil the meat. The sorceress(my wife)had a lobster bib on halfway through the combat. Spell after spell went into this thing, which eventually expired after a flame strike(holy damage) took it out.
They picked out the treasure from its bits and pieces while they cooked it, enjoying the music from a golden music box they plucked from its possessions as they stuffed the body with garlic and other spices.

Honestly 'bloodmouth' is the most metal thing I have ever heard.
I hate people who try to proselytize their diet at you or try to make you feel guilty for eating animal products. Those people are trite, pretentious, ethnocentric and historically myopic.
