I usually play Sweden.
I had a nice run as Bohemia once, though.

I've had a really fun game as Portugal, but I usually have enough fun kicking swedish asses until they're fully subjugated like they should be. Apart from that, Brandenburg/Prussia or Saxony/Other german minors.

I always miss out on the Comiket stuff and then find it around April and get all excited but it's really weird the frequency with which this happens.
Anyway, new CROW'SCLAW album with Merami doing vocals.
I'll know which tracks soon.

Spoiler: Heh. (click to show/hide)

So, she's only on two tracks (Impulsive Fly and A Sense of Distance) but she sings in a much more natural and sexy sounding voice.
Meanwhile, there's this other girl, Ikeda Shou, who does vocals on all the other track except the first.
To use IOSYS singers as reference, her voice is clear and resounding like 3L, but heavy like Izabel.
Overall, instrumentals aren't as good as Parental Advisory: Explicit Guitar (better than some of the other stuff, though), but the vocals add so much substance, it feels like a true album, despite being an EP.
And fuck, I still want to hear Takase's voice.

Natural sounding Merami.
Ikeda Shou.

I just finished Dragon Age: Awakening. Awesome all around, especially for an expansion.

using a few assumptions, I calculated that the girl in my avatar and signature would need to eat more than a hundred thousand times more than a regular person, to be able to fly.

I felt the polar opposite, as most other I've spoken to. SO DAMN SHORT. The choices feel meaningless beyond the beyond! Gawd I was dissappointed.

And fuck, I still want to hear Takase's voice.

Mentioning this made me wonder:
What would happen if Taka and Takase teamed up?
She's not very well known, but her technical skill with his compositional skill and the fact that he's apparently using vocalists now...
Huzzah for hopeless fantasies of Japanese supergroups.
I guess the similarity of their names is also part of why I'm attracted to the idea...

SO DAMN SHORT.

It took me somewhere in the order of 25 hours to finish it. I've played retail games that don't last that long, even if Origins lasts for about 70 hours.

The choices feel meaningless beyond the beyond!

...are we typing about the same game here?

First one: Bear son ending.
I seriously killed like eight bears.

Isn't about the hours, the expansion feels rushed, Now your here, now your there, back and forth like it's meaningless as you jump between 3 rather random places that make up the core part of the expansion. meh.

Also, the Dalish elf companion is boring and Oghren also feels shallow, as if everything from Origins just vanished. Anders was fun, but more comic relief than character, atleast he's quite cool in DA2 even if that game also is a huuuuge dissappointment.

Basicly, I started Awakenings and thought, "Awesome, Hmm, Seems like these 3 quests are gonna feel the same as Origins but okay." and after completing two of them I was already left with the feeling that "Yeah, this is already ending in a short while."

I've had a really fun game as Portugal, but I usually have enough fun kicking swedish asses until they're fully subjugated like they should be. Apart from that, Brandenburg/Prussia or Saxony/Other german minors.

My best Uber-Grand Campaign was to take the Principality of Smolensk in CK (1066), build it into a multi-kingdom Graeco-Russian Orthodox Empire which stretched from Egypt to Lappland and Hungary to the Urals (including curb-stomping the Mongol hordes every time they dare showed their faces).

Then imported that into EU3, extending my empire to the Pacific and conquering the whole of Scandinavia, Persia, Mesopotamia and the Levantine, all of North Africa, and as far as the Punjab. Also began creating some African colonies (a la Portugal) and some North American colonies up around Nova Scotia and Quebec. By this point, my main accepted cultures were Russian, Greek, and Arabic (when you conquere pretty much the entire Arab world, you're going to have to integrate them) and I spent much of my time working to convert the Arabs and the various Siberian and Central Asian tribes to Orthodoxy.

Imported that into Victoria: Revolutions. Didn't grow too much, although my colonies expanded a bit. Remained a constitutional monarchy, fought a few inconclusive wars with Germany and France (I should have been able to crush them with raw manpower, but the tech differential was a problem, as was maintaining the sheer bulk of the Empire).

Imported that into HoI2, and proceeded to steamroll my remaining major opponents in Europe, bringing all but the far corners of the world under the benign rule of the Tsar-Patriarch.

And then "imported" that into Aurora and spread to the stars!

Never did a mega-campaign, the converters look/are crap honestly :/ But the concept of them is awesome.

They take some heavy-duty tweaking and often direct editing of the save files. First time I imported into Victoria, my massive imperial armies were replaced with two regiments. Of Irregulars. I actually tried playing it out anyways, considering it more of a challenge, but internal dissent caused the empire to collapse into chaos before I could get any more troops cranked out. The conversions from CK->EU2 and Victoria->HOI2 work pretty well, because Paradox designed the converters and built them into CK and Victoria: Revolutions, respectively.

I've been bummed that they don't seem to have any plans to put a similar function into any of the newer products. Even though Victoria 2 and HOI3 seem to have a lot of common framework to them.

Today is RIT's career fair. Naturally, I get myself locked out of my dorm room. But after figuring out who I need to talk to, got it all sorted out in about 15 minutes. Crisis averted, LIKE A BOSS.
