Some of the panning shots of terrain looked really blurry to me, and my dad concurred. Thoughts?

So I finally got D&T, and I've played to the point of boredom (obvious world domination, no real threats left) as Austria and Holland. I think I've got the hang of the game, but I'm trying to play a Muscowy->Russia game, and I can't seem to beat the Golden Horde. the best I've done so far is to force the release of a 2 province minor and take 25 ducats. I seem to need at least 1.5-2x their troops to win a battle, and they always have more troops than me in total. I attacked during their last succession crisis, and that is the only reason I got that minor released. Other than that I've only pulled out white peaces and concessions of defeat.
I've united the Russia minors, and Novgorod, but I don't have enough cores to from Russia yet, IIRC you basically have to hold and have cores on all of Russia before you can form Russia.

Magic. Don't question the power of the power cycle. Without it my life would be so much worse.

1. *Socks*
2. Kobo eReader to replace the one that was stolen from me.

4. Curling club membership. (Fuck yeah!)

We seem to have tangented away from this, but previously many were complaining about not unnecessarily colouring one's view of a book by reading up on the author, but I think that's backwards. Rather, one should read up on the author so one knows what biases are present and can account for them.

I think what you guys are getting at is that people rely more and more on computers, but don't realize that a computer can only do grunt work. You still have to do the actual thinking. For example a computer can spell check an essay, but it can't write one. A calculator can do calculations, but it can't solve a problem. People rely far too much on the abilities of modern technology, and thus neglect to actually develop their own capabilities.

Judging by the second half of that statement, I'd agree.
3/4 of my exams were bullshit, but relatively easy. It's that last one that I failed that's going to fuck me up.
It isn't really that, it put me in a mood where I was unhappy with my life as it is, and while I've taken some steps to change it, I'm still not pleased with myself. I think the exam stress was just a catalyst to bring it out.

I must say, I really enjoyed Dead Silence, by Billy Talent, even if it is REALLY preachy at times. Rocks like all hell, though.
