In this case factual reporting by the Beaverton.

If the NDP go with one of the more left leaning leadership candidates the Conservatives are going to be in a bit of a bind. They have gone far right, and the middle (where most Canadian voters feel most comfortable) will have been conceded.

Regarding all the Chinese name jokes you guys were making the other day, be glad you are not Finnish beauty queens.

So, I started watching Gladiator 2.

First battle scene. Doesn't seem particularly realistic ancient warfare, but what you gotta do.

Then, at the 20 minute point mark, there's a bunch of kids playing football in front of the pyramids. A few minutes later, the protagonist fights some mutant monkeys that seem straight off a zombie movie.

I stopped it right there. WTF is this.

Yes, I'd say it sounds like rewilding is the best option there.

That won't happen. Oil and gas companies are operating on it.

So farmers can work around oil companies but.... Whatever wildlife looks like there can't?
(serious question.)

Playing this with the latest DLC again. I suck at the game.  It's fun nevertheless. Trying my hand at Spain and failed against the Carlists.

I really do not understand why a single player RPG would require that much time to make unless they are developing the engine from scratch.

"Five years away" = vaporware that can potentially get cancelled anytime.

After so many failed Star Wars videogame projects I'm old and bitter.
