    Nope, but the artist is familiar, he has done a comic series named Villimpi pohjola (lit. The Wilder North) about university students, which according to my knowledge hasn't been translated.

    And bears in bands, does Robin Hood count?

    Am I getting a lecture on morality in the same sentence as a defense of monarchy? Man, I gotta quit peyote....

    PS: This is what occupies the place of morality in the world of monarchs and monarchists:

    Hello Starkeiller, while 1820 was the 'Era of good feelings' in the US it had it's own problems too, no universal suffrage, something that wouldn't come around until 1920, and then only on paper, real universal suffrage didn't come until the end of the first civil rights era and slavery something, that again on paper, was outlawed in the British Commonwealth well before the US.

    Not even democracies start perfect out of the gate, and monarchies have changed, their are very few absolute monarchies, and a majority people in constitutional monarchies are just fine with having a monarch that is merely a figurehead. If they weren't there would no longer be even constitutional monarchies. So please let's drop this.

    EDIT: Slavery Abolition Act 1833 Abolished slavery in the British Empire.

    Thirteenth Amendment made law on December 18, 1865

    Airdrop bear.

    Edit: Although suffice to say he made more sense as part of a "band" in the actual book, where he actually had a real role that wasn't separated by five hours of film.

    Barriss, forgive my lack of knowledge, but praytell, what milieu is this :eek:-yet-:D .gif from?

    I was going to guess the Far Cry games, but I'll probably embarrass myself with my lack of bear-to-ground tactics ... :p

    In other words, yes, it is from a video game.

    I miss the EU just for the growing precedent of heroes giving themselves over totally to the Force and having You Shall Not Pass moments.

    Abruptly, the dance falters, stumbles, begins to limp.
    There is no one left to fight.
    Ganner sways, dizzy, dying, poisoned with amphistaff venom from scores of wounds. His blood pains the floor beneath his boots and the walls of the tunnel around him.
    Only the Force holds him upright.

    Hmm. If I have money in the budget next week, should I pick up Dragon Age Inquisition or Witcher III?
    Hope my computer can handle either or both of them though...

    Witcher 3 is the far better game.

    And I believe that there's a new DLC coming out for it as well.
