Dragon Age is for free on Origin

I hate DRM but its free…so tempting…

Yesterday: 35° celciuss most of the day.

Then it rains like crazy.

And today it keeps raining like crazy.

And then I noticed there’s a stupid hurricane… I see why they call it “the calm before the storm”.

Well, hope you guys are okay down there.

There’s nothing to worry about. Land friction always pulls the eye towards any of the other countries around (for some reason…).

All I have to worry down here is the excesive raining.

I remember my parents were preparing the house for a hurricane when I was a kid. They put masking tape all over the windows, tied things to trees… The hurricane was headed straight to this country.

And then hours before getting hit it changes course to Nicaragua, where nobody prepared their homes… It did not end up well for them. And unfortunately every hurricane turns north just before hitting this place.

I’d say that was lucky, but I can’t really call it that when others were affected…

Just heard about that man who died because of the ebola. I hope that situation doesn’t get anymore serious over there.

Let me guess, it doesn’t have mac support right?

Yup, just checked, no mac support. Despite the fact that both Origin and Dragon Age are able to run on mac. Because, you know, logic.

I’ve been doing Siul’s cool trick with countries and numbers and stuff, and most have said what he said, or at least say yes when I tell them their color is orange. I’ve had a few rogues who say Dominican Republic or koala, or who can’t do simple math.

Had one person end up with orange, but had ‘Ecuador’ and ‘rhino’ before it. :stuck_out_tongue:

Try this one:

  • Have them say “milk” 5 times quickly but put a card board in front of them (or whatever works) with “cilk” (or just change the “m” for any other letter) written on it.

  • Then have them spell milk. M - I - L - K

  • Give them 2 seconds to answer the question “What do cows drink?” If their answer is “Milk” you win.
