How the fuck do I kill deathclaws?
Snipe from a place they can't reach.

No, no, I meant what race did you play as?
You can choose any race. And you escape from a dungeon/jail.

I played this a few weeks ago. It was pretty good, it's Skyrim online.
I played some of a trial run and it wasn't too bad. Still, I'm just not a fan of MMOs.

So just like every other modern fantasy franchise.

No.  There are some franchises that take little to nothing from those influences; "The Chronicles of Amber" and "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" for example.

hipster fantasy

I was reading it before hipsters were a thing sonny boy. In my day needs got their ass kicked for reading Tolkien, Anthony or Zelazny so don't you get uppity.
Represent that Zelazny.

From what I understand, Americans did that for about 30 yrs as a cleanliness measure, but no longer do so much any more.
I can't claim to be certain of this, but as far as I know it's still a thing. Perhaps the Americans in this thread could weigh in?
Yep, still pretty normal. The one person I was aware of being uncircumcised had British parents. Americans are starting to catch on that it's a totally useless practice but still mostly happens for the social norm of it.

From what I remember she also got Half his future earnings and the figure for future earnings was ridiculously high.

What a terrible woman.

I don't get why checking the time means he doesn't care about what he's doing.

Well the story is that these character's they're all narrating are rich, deep, engrossing characters. So if he's checking his watch then he can't be that engrossed. It could be bad timing and I can't believe an editor didn't spot that.

After so many takes he could still be getting hungry regardless of how engrossing the characters are. From what I remember from Jade Empire and Fable, his voice work has always been entertaining and what you'd expect from John Cleese. I think it was just poor timing and a bad editor.

John Cleese has also done quite a few videogame voice overs. If he didn't like it then why would he do it? He can't be hurting for money.

Surprisingly, he is. I watch him in interviews and stuff (was just earlier today) and, like fappenhosen said, his ex-wife took literally all his money. He had to go on tour again just to get some money to live off of. I hadn't thought about it before, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised if he was just doing this to earn more. Or maybe he did want to do it but ended up bored still, I dunno. Maybe they picked terrible points to film, but he just seems like he doesn't really want to be there and isn't enjoying himself.
I had no idea. Well that sucks. You'd think with royalties and all that he'd still have enough.

I'm not quite convinced all these actors wanted to do this. I think its bread and butter stuff, despite video games making much more money than movies. I saw Clease looking at his watch.

That's the feeling I got as well, which sucks because I love John Cleese. :[ But yeah, it looked like he was just doing it to get paid, the watch glance kind of gave that away. Plus he just all-around didn't seem very enthusiastic, and his line-readings were kinda boring and uninspired.

Also, the guy from Spiderman thought his character was such a rich and interesting guy with so much inner turmoil, yet couldn't remember the line that captured the essence of this character. It's like a bad answer to the interview question "Tell me why you want to work for this company?".

I understand their apathy. It's the same reason why movie actors go back to stage acting:
In a theatre you have an actual audience and other actors who are acting right now, and you can't screw it up. Oh my! Then the after show party! Woo!
In movies there's you in a green suit with some white bobbles on it, and maybe a stand-in reading lines back to you from behind the camera, but that's OK cos at least you get to walk around and meet a few of the cast for the big scenes. Scenes might have to be recorded many times, but that's OK because the director might let you throw a few "interpretations" in. The catering is probably OK too.
In video game voice over, there's you in a dark recording studio, a script and a recording technician in a room next door. You will spend whole days reading variations of "Hmm, this door is locked from the other side". Bring your own sandwiches.
John Cleese has also done quite a few videogame voice overs. If he didn't like it then why would he do it? He can't be hurting for money.

I don't get why checking the time means he doesn't care about what he's doing. Maybe he's got other stuff going on in his life, maybe he has a call he needs to make, or is getting hungry.

It's possible he's doing the bored sassy routine of looking at his watch, but I never much understood people buying into that cliche.

Example: when I was a tour guide I had to be aware of the time as I moved my little herd around the house since tours were supposed to run an hour long and sometimes you'd have the problem of another group running into you. But someone complained that I was looking at my watch in an email. That's how upset they were. My boss told me I had to then secretly steal glances when I turned away from my group so as not to appear disinterested. So that cliche assumption seems so baseless and empty to me.

It's not just about Dawkins either. I was just curious about the lifespan in TN. I wonder whether people die from greasy fried food before the benefit of church can kick in.

I won't argue w/ you about Clarksville. What a shithole. Damned inbred hell-pit!

Sounds like they need an influx of fresh DNA.
When I worked at Molly Maid for a total of one month, most of the redneck white trash cleaners came from Clarksville.

They all had kids, even the older teens. The first question that they all asked me was if I had kids. They thought I was a genius with my college degree. One woman that I cleaned with for a week looked to be in her 50s but I found out she was in her late 30s. Her daughter worked at Molly Maid. This daughter also had a child. This older woman guzzled Mountain Dew with Goody's Powder, smoked cigarettes like a chimney, drove with her elbow on the steering wheel while texting and eating and following too closely. And her damn hip hurt whenever it rained. My mind was blown by the whole experience.

Actually, no. Clarksville in '03 had none of that. My city in Iowa is chock full of that. I say it because being anything other than a White Southern Baptist in Clarksville was hell. I'll take your word on the rest of it.
lol Clarksville. There's your problem.

Having lived in TN for 3 yrs, allow me to politely recommend anywhere, even North Korea, as a possible alternative.
You just say that because we have a lot of Muslims and Kurdish people.

So maybe people in TN would live the longest if they weren't so busy drinking sweet tea and eating fried foods.

Honestly, I don't even get into these guys at all. I'm just a blaise atheist. Religion or non-religion is just not apart of my life in any sense.
