Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel. First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country. I have lived in Israel, some years ago. This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie. During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.

And how'd that work out,?
What in the name of God does that have to do with Skyrim?
I'm not much one for gaming.
Except the Total War series.
Sounds bloodthirsty but it's like Civ with real time fully immersive battles. Up to Total War Shogun 2 now. Gorgeous to look at, atmospheric and historically accurate.
btw, Anon is a troll.
