I had no knowledge Fable 3 is out. 

Just goes to show how behind I am in terms of stuff.

I was only asking about 360 games because my 360 is hidden away in a mountain valley far-far away from my apartment. That way I won't get to play a lot and it won't interfere with school, college and ****. Better that way. I have my trusty PC at home and I have the internet at home. The internet ultimately beats the **** out of any game in terms of hours I've lost in front of it.

So thus far I appreciate the reviews you've made to these games. I've also been thinking of adding Lost Planet 2 to the list, along with Alan Wake. Anything else? Any Heavy Rain-esque games on the Sex-Box?

Hey guys, I am in the situation of having to decide which Xbox 360 games I'd like to buy in the near future (i.e. next week) and I thought I'd ask you about your opinions.

Thus far I know I want Fallout: New Vegas, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Assassin's Creed 2 (and maybe Brotherhood), Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age 2, Fable 2, Halo: Reach and maybe Left 4 Dead 2.

What other suggestions do you have? I am mainly curious about games which have appeared recently and which you consider are of some worth. The genre is of no importance to my considerations. I am a bit behind the loop in terms of what has appeared in the last months.

Poate ca intentia nu a fost rea, dar modul de executare da. Alta data incearca sa nu fi atat de turbat impotriva celorlalti ci incearca sa porti o discutie civilizata, cu argumente.

Am fost plecat din tara zilele astea, de aici si tacerea mea.

N-ai parinti?

La dorinta creatorului, acest topic este din nou open for business.

Ii lipseste si sticla de rachiu din dotare, sau bautura cu aroma de vodka.

Soundtrack-ul recent compus de Hans Zimmer pentru Inception este in mod special genial. Cuvantul haunting imi pare cel mai potrivit pentru a il descrie si recomand atat filmul cat si muzica oricui. Oricui.

Ai gusturi faine... am vazut si eu filmul cu vreo doua luni in urma, si da, a fost bun....
Mi-a placut ideea filmului, realizarea, cu toate acestea, daca  l-as fi facut eu, l-as fi facut un pic mai horror...

Mi-a placut Inception atat de mult ca l-am vazut la cinema de 5 ori. L-as vedea si o a sasea oara, dar mi-e ca nu mai este pe marile ecrane. Sincer, film care sa ma afecteze ca asta nu a mai fost de o groaza de vreme.

Si cat despre Craig Armstrong, l-as asculta cu mare placere. Pentru ce filme a compus?

Eu ascult muzica de toate genurile, insa am o preferinta si o pasiune aparte pentru muzica simfonica si cea clasica. In special melodiile din soundtrack-uri imi plac, si va pot spune ca printre compozitorii mei favoriti se afla Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Howard Shore, Clint Mansell si diversi altii care au compus muzica ce ne incanta urechile in timp ce ne uitam la un film bun.

Suntem, suntem, dar eu din pacate abia de pot sa mai arunc un ochi p'aci de scoala. Sunt in clasa a 12a si nu am timp sa postez chiar atat de mult, doar sa supraveghez.

So have the results been released yet?

Perhaps the fact that French was the language of the noble and the learned in England until the first quarter of the Fifteenth Century does point to the peerage and gentry being somewhat more...cosmopolitan in their fashions and preferences, but all the same, we must not forget the shock that the kings and nobles of England faced after the battle of Bouvines in 1214.

From a nobility which held lands in England and France, very much the epitome of the feudalism you describe, they were reduced to merely kings and lords of England and Gascony for quite some time. The king of England, John, was forced, at least for the moment, to merely be King of England and Gascony, and not king of the Angevin Empire his father, Henry the Second, had forged. This had a profound long term effect on the nobility of England, for it forced them to be merely English earls, English dukes and English kings, despite the language they spoke and the culture they held to be best.

And even if they spoke French, they did not comport themselves in exactly the same way as their continental equals. They had their own type of culture, the result of the intermingling of their original and eclectic roots with what they found in England and the long years in which they coexisted with the Anglo-Saxons. These men were different from both their Gascon subjects (which cannot be called French either, on account of many differences in both their language and their culture) and from the nobility of France.

The One Hundred Years War, however, clearly defined the two sides of the Channel as being different. If before the English nobles were similar to the French in many aspects, both during the war and after it, the differences brought about by years of incessant conflict, killing, ransoming and looting eventually led to the English nobility abandoning French as their language and using Middle English. This can be seen at its best in the tales of Geoffrey Chaucher, who wrote in Middle English and was a nobleman at the same time.

And as for Henry the Seventh being Welsh, well, maybe he was Welsh by way of blood but even then, culturally he was more English than any Welshman. He had to be, if we wanted to rule a country of English nobles. His claim to the throne came from his mother, Margaret Beaufort, after all, and not from his father.

Yeah, most of it isn't that bad really. Sure, for one who knows a great deal about the subject, it might be easy to find flaws within the text, but most of them will be small technicalities that won't even make any difference to the lay-person.

As a base of knowledge it serves its purpose. Besides, I don't know who spent the time to read this. I certainly didn't.

Of, viata asta reala. Se vede ca a inceput clasa a 12a sa imi ia din timpul de internet.

Odihneasca-se in pace.

Yes, but their stay was very short. They defended the southern borders of Transylvania for about twelve years before they were enveloped in a conflict of interests with the King of Hungary, after which they were shortly expelled from the kingdom with little thanks for the years they spent there.
