Hydra I don't really check the view out, cause I hate playing on Hydra, but there are definitely moments on Jade where the view is better than a higher score. :D

 

Haha yes... you should see me playing Skyrim... im in conflict whether to kill the wolves next to me or keep looking at the pretty mountains ;)

 

 

I had some more fun games with Arkane and Arktinen a few hours ago <3 It was just Arktinen for a start but then Arkane joined in too :) I have the Fury! I cant believe I have her when we were just talking about it thats so lucky!

The like drought continues!

 

Anyways, there was a moment on the second or third night of playing Skyrim for the first time that left me speechless. First week easily I spent just randomly exploring not bothering with many quests.

 

At this point I'm still paranoid as hell after taking a magic sword from some swirling green leafy things that were not easy to kill. Walking slowly through a forest at night, and all of a sudden I hear something. I stop, and it sounds like something flying over me.

 

Something big.

 

Sure enough, a dragon calmly flies over me, blotting out the stars.

 

It was very late at night and I had been high as a kite for all of it; I was in quite the strange frame of mind. Half of me was glad I was wearing the "brown pants". The other half was just a bit in shock at how peaceful and surreal an event just transpired. It was the first "wild" dragon I'd encountered outside of the main questline. (I'd only killed the very first one by that point.)

Haha if anyone ever sees me play, and im just standing there... im having a 'oh god thats so pretty' moment ;) they happen... a lot... I was once killed by a Banshee that took me by suprise because I was looking at the waterfalls ;)

Hmm, this sounds a lot like Optus in Australia. Owned by SingTel. I could quote you some of the things my singaporean friends have said about SingTel, but I'm not sure I want to spread that much negativity.

I also believe Infastructure is an international problem, no matter where you live, something will be lacking. Be it Internet speeds, or bus routes. Telecommunications seems to be a commonly underestimated thing by Governments/Companies, though not the only one. Not defending or arguing, just expressing my opinion that there is never enough Infastructure to support the population (Except for in those abandoned ghost town thingies, they have more than enough ;) )

High: Ran into Rusty Buckets  :wub: actually staying visible on XBL and playing ME3MP! 

 

Low: Gold Duo on Reactor Hazard vs. Cerberus ended in failure after Wave 10 devices were completed.

 

High: We thought of the perfect excuses as to why.

Rusty - laggy due to not hosting, and out of practice.

Me - needing to carry that laggy, out of practice scrub.

No need to excuse. I totally understand your frustration, you should hear some of the rants I start spouting when there is a hockey game on (And everybody and their pets are streaming it, meaning even browsing the web feels like I went back to the 90s).

I just find it kind of backward that Infastructure is dealt with reactively, when it is something that clearly needs to be handled pro-actively. Everybody needs it, nobody gets enough. That's some pretty epic mismanagement right there.

High: Had a few games with JamesDonni again yesterday, he's such a sweet guy, very helpful and extremely good at the game. Gave me some useful tips and advice on how to play the game. Then afterwards I joined up with Fuen and Fire which was also very nice as always :) Too bad I was too sleepy to play too much with them, so I had to cut it short. 

 

Low: I seriously sucked at all games yesterday, was constantly overly tired all day. Yes, I shouldn't play when I'm like that...

Cough. Some of the info you have there is slightly warped M.Y.N.

 

 

HT Telekom itself only exist since 1998 (war shot things to pieces)

 

From an investor perspective - Deutsche Telekom only got 36% share of HTT in 1999 and increased it to 51% in 2001 (to this day), because the state was bankrupt and couldn't invest in infrastructure. So decision taking in HTT automatically means involving policians and bureaucrats. And you know this can kill private business.

In Croatia HTT (DT) is represents only 46% of the market, VIP-Net=36% and Tele2=17%. So there are alternatives ... none of them can afford to dish out 150Mb/s connections...

HTT upgraded to all-ip only in 2010 - the country is a decade behind due to war. Data connections bring in only $6 per subscriber. There is simply not enough demand (ofc people paying for that)

Since 2015 you can get 225Mb/s in LTE (if you are a politician or functionary) or if you can pay it (but Mobile is not ideal for RT gaming anyway) - recall HTT was the first country in Europe to offer Cloud Services to business.

 

Prognosed growth from industry reports is extremely slow for wireline and cable till 2020. Growth=Dead. In contrast Estonia, Hungary & Romania, Latvia, Serbia develops faster.

Broadband = 1.5 m people in 2016 only - Cable and Wireless will not even light a cigarello for such a small number of subscribers.

 

The Average Croatian is only willing to spend only 10.75€ all in all.

Compare that with other countries  (Canada = $47, Japan = $36, Greece =$11.54).

So there are simply not enough paying demand for >4Mb/s

Cough

In 1998 our wise goverment decided to split the company (HTT) into two; HT (telecommunications) and HP (Croatian Post Inc.).  Soon HT was bought by DT; the minister  of telecommunications which oversaw the privatisation process later became the head of the privatised HT ( and became an employee of DT !). State wasn’t bankrupt then, its  gonna go bankrupt soon but those were good years.  The minster sold a company like his own private fief, in turn he got a fat salary and protection from his German masters in Bonn.

HT has shares in all telekom companies apart from Amis which is building its own infrastructure. Not only it has  share in those companies, HT also leases infrastructure to the same companies. Tele 2 only provides mobile phone services. Few years ago government had an idea of building a broadband infrastructure; then the vice chancellor (Philipp Rösler ) came for a visit and explained the situation :)

From  1998. DT has invested almost nothing in the infrastructure while in the same period it had over 1 billion euros profit per year.  Last few years have been slim so it has been only 980 million euros per year.  So tbh DT doesn’t have an interest in investing in infrastructure the money is flowing anyways.

I myself play 257, kn  (equals 35 euros) per month for a up to 4mb download  and 256kb upload conn (flat rate).  U have cheaper non flat arrangements but none of them are less the 20 euros. Plus to get a separate conn if one is in a household one has  to take a separate telephon line which u have to play 15 euros; regardless if u want to use it or not. If one decides that the telephone for which u play 15 euros is useless and ditches the phone; the telekom bill won`t be any cheaper u have to play for the phone nevertheless. I would be gladly willing to play 50 euros for a decent modern connection. Because Croatia lives only from tourism lot of ppl are willing to do the same – but then again why should DT invest anything. As I said before the money is flowing anyways. And their position in the market is secure with possible acquisition of Telekom Serbia in sight (which i hope is not gonna happen and i hope the Serbs are smarter then us!).

Message: the decisions are made in Bonn...

PS.  TBH i don’t blame the Germans they just seized the opportunity when they saw it. Any smart nation or individual would do the same.

PPS. Feel free to dismiss everything i said above since to know some stuff you have to live where i live :)

I don't know if this is high or low or just kind of confusing, but I got the glitch where husks killed me and I was immediately revived. So that was... interesting?

It was even weirder because I was hosting, and the only other glitch I've gotten on-host (apart from invisible banshees, which I just accept as a fact of life at this point) is stacks of invincible enemies on Reactor Hazard, which I would solve by giving up and microwaving myself.
