Greeks apologise with huge horse

interwebs:

THE nation of Greece said sorry to the European Union with a present of an enormous wooden horse.

Left outside the European Central Bank in the dead of night, the horse has now been moved into the ECB’s central lobby where it is proudly on display. (…)

“The card with it, which had a teddy bear dressed as a hobo on the front, explained that Greece made us this because they don’t have enough money for a present, which brought a tear to my eye.

“Nonetheless, unless they can somehow find €200 billion overnight then austerity measures must continue.”

Oddly, Greek representatives in Brussels have hinted that they may soon be in a position to settle their debts and have puzzled the French and German banks that hold their loans by asking if there is any discount for cash.

The government of Spain has reacted angrily to the gift, accusing the Greeks of trying to bribe the ECB and redoubling their own efforts to weave a gigantic sombrero-wearing straw donkey.

Probably the longest running WIP I’ve ever had. Four redraws, two recolours and three years later, Amy’s birthday present still isn’t finished. Hahaha, now the ante’s been upped so much I don’t think I’ll ever finish it to a satisfactory standard.Still, I was promised steak, beer and xbox if I got it finished for her. Now that Uni’s very nearly out the way I can get cracking on with it.

The Wii U Pro controller

The internet is awash with how much it looks like an xbox 360 controller.
Really? People care about this shit? There’s only one optimal ergonomic layout for us humans with (mostly) opposable thumbs, four fingers and two hands. This follows it. Now, get back to hardware specs and future releases.

P.S If anyone claims that they’re copying the xbox’s XYAB layout I’ll just go ahead and leave the planet.

Ack

Dragon Age man, I lose all my saves from the original so have to go straight to the expansion, leaving a large amount of quests and choices blank. Cut to 60 hours later and the queen is dead, wynne hates me and my character seems to have lost most of his clothes during some bout of drunken dwarven debauchery in Orzammar.
I have a horrible feeling these three things are all related. 


 

Liam Neeson, what the hell did you get up to while I was away?!
Mind you, it shouldn’t really surprise me, we’re talking about the kinda guy who likes to stand on cheese wheels during his downtime.

LIAM NEESON IS STANDING ON YOUR CHEESE. That is all.

Game of Game of Thrones

Been playing it the last few days, it’s got some great ideas, a warg black brother is pretty fun to play, battering down mercs, sneaking around and tracking enemies as your dog. The red priest is embroiled in the murky politicking of King’s Landing, two separate stories that come together independently of each other. It has some awesome old-school rpg point allocation for character development as well, something I sorely miss. Martin was heavily involved, that much is clear, the story itself is well told and dynamic, you can never be quite sure who to trust.

But let’s be honest, it’s a bad Dragon Age: Origins;
