I thought it was another expression for raising your glass in acknowledgement or something. I didn't expect it to mean starting bar fight with the guy

To glass someone = To smash someone with a glass To give someone a Glasgow Kiss = to headbutt them To give someone a Glasgow Smile = to do whatever it was that happened to the Joker in The Dark Knight To give someone a Burnley Wallet = you don't want to know.

You can bottle out of bottling a oval office. And by oval office I mean person, who may be your best friend or worst enemy, partly depending on how far north you are.

Howdy, bought this game for my boo over Christmas as her first video game experience and she loved it! Sadly, the next episode isn't due out till late March I guess? What other games would y'all recommend down the same vein? I imagine the walking dead game is an easy suggestion, but she's not much for horror or zombies.

Stay away from the Telltale Jurassic Park game. I wish it were a good game, but it just isn't. Other than that, the old Lucasarts Monkey Island and Indiana Jones adventure games are where this game got its roots and you should play them if you haven't.

Tales from the borderlands might be an option and you can always do the back to the future or home star runner series too. Just be warned that back to the future and homestar runner are more puzzle like (she'll have to wander around and find items on her own but it'd be a little easier than monkey Island.

I hate Borderlands but Tales From the Borderlands is really really good. It has more of an illusion of interactivity and exploration than their other recent games. But holy poo poo they are really loving up the release schedule when we've had two GoT games but the second TFtB hasn't dropped yet. ![]()

I did! I bought her the season pass I think because she had both and burned two them in two days. I know this because I got a call starting with," I'M PISSED!" I was like ooooh poo poo what did I do.."That game you got me is to be continued and the next episode isn't out yet!"

RightClickSaveAs posted:Oh, seconding that! The first episode is off to a great start. Plus the game is heavier on the exploration and interactions, which I love. It's kinda like Gone Home (which you also might want to check out) + Telltale's Walking Dead/Game of Thrones + Dreamfall: Chapters, with some high school angst thrown in. Don't know if that last part will be a positive or negative for you though. it will also punish you with a hipster soundtrack

I've been holding off on playing episode 2 for a while, I started yesterday and I really want to like this game but whenever there's a Mira sequence I feel immediate boredom and just want to ALT+F4 out of the game asap. Mira is just super boring to me, it felt like everything she did in episode 1 was completely meaningless and the 'court intrigue' feels fake given that we know none of it is gonna play out in any significance manner as far as any of the characters she interacts with other than the coal boy and the other handmaiden are concerned. Asher was cool, Rodrick was pretty cool as well, Mira really breaks the flow of the game for me.

They must be trying to get the next episode out in time for the next season of Game of Thrones. Looks like episode 3 is already wrapping up and going through the rating systems. http://www.classification.gov.au/Pa...J4B1Q%253d%253d And I guess Asher and friends are going to run into Khaleesi? https://twitter.com/lauraperusco/status/575333861204303872

Wait holy poo poo tomorrow? Don't we usually get more forewarning? That's a decent turrnaround time though, or maybe I'm just feeling whiplash from the 4-month wait for Borderlands episode 2.

Wow, that was quick. Although I must say, I'm enjoying the Borderlands game much more for some reason, most likely the humor. I find Mira's scenes to be boring as hell. Hopefully with Asher coming back, it'll pick up a bit.

Mira just feels so ineffectual. Which dealing with so many powerful people in King's Landing as a handmaiden to the future... consort to the king? Queen? I guess is about right.

I dunno. She does stab the poo poo out of a dude near the end of episode 2. That has got to count for something.

Honestly, I get the opposite impression. She's wheeling and dealing with the people that control the whole country, just by association - making deals with Tyrion matters so much more than any action you take at Ironrath.
