Do your friends actually call you Ozle or is that a placeholder?

Erm.....Ozle is a Tuvaluan name, it means "great champion who comes from the earth to protect those he loves from insubstantial threats through kindness and humility"
Although in Vanatu Ozle means "fish"

Bloody Vanatu!

So I've been playing a fair amount of Europa Universalis IV lately. Currently I have a game going as the Mamluks, i.e. Egyptians, about a century in. Things have been going relatively well but currently we are in a state of decline, mostly due to the expansion of the nefarious Ottoman Empire. I was not pleased when we lost Judea and Damascus in the most recent war, for example. My plan is to develop our Ethiopian holdings and maybe escape to Australia.

Anyway my distaste with the Ottomans led me to discover this amusing historical tidbit:

It's quite humorous but also rather vulgar, so be warned if you are offended by historical vulgarity!

If you like Tower Defense games and Pokemon, I highly suggest you try this out if you haven't: Pokemon Tower Defense.

There is far too much Historical Vulgarity about today for my liking!

I like both Tower Defence and Pokemon, but really dislike the PTD game. It's a boring grind fest for the most part.

I played Pokémon once. This description sounds like my experience...

I really like the game and it's take on the TD genre. The grinding is a bit annoying, but I don't mind it too much. I haven't played the second one, so I don't know if that aspect is improved or not.

[eHalcyon]

If grinding isn't your thing, just leave experience share on in XY.  I don't like grinding either but I never had to in XY.  Actually, I was hilariously over-levelled the whole way.

Now I'm just breeding though, which is a different kind of grinding.

You rarely have to grind in pokemon, they're usually easy enough that you can comfortably get through the game just fighting necessary trainers. In X and Y I had a team of 6 pokemon, ended up about 10 levels below the E4 as a result and still beat them first try with some effort.

I love tower defense games.

My favorite is probably the Orcs Must Die games by Robot Entertainment.  So much fun, adding in a 3rd-person-action-shooter twist to the TD genre.

[Ozle]

Have you tried Anomaly : Warzone Earth

its a TD but from the point of view of the creeps.


Also, Spice Bandits was pretty good

[Polk5440]

It's 32 degrees F. in Chicago now. That's more than 45 degrees warmer than it was on Monday (not including wind chill). It felt so warm outside I almost felt like not wearing a coat! Almost.

Does it bother anyone else that the clouds never rotate, which implies that it is the road itself rotating and not the traveller?

Either that or the traveller AND clouds are rotating... frame of reference blah blah

[Ozle]

I dont know I am going to watch it till it comes to the end and then let you know

[Tables]

I want.

[Kuildeous]

I want.

I would love to see the story behind this. Could be trippier than Portal and Black Swan.

I just realized something you can do in math that is amazing...  I had to simplify the expression (2 tan x)/(1 - tan² x).  I realized that I could factor out the tangent from the bottom by making it (tan x)((1/tan x) - tan x).  I never thought about factoring something in that way...

I think you mean 2/(1/tanx - tanx).  But, what other way of factoring is there?  Factoring is just reverse distribution.. if you believe that a(b+c) = ab+ac, then you should also believe that ab+ac = a(b+c).

I was just saying the denominator.  I didn't really say that.  And I've never thought about factoring something like 2 out of 1 + 4 to make 2(1/2 + 2).  I'm talking about factoring something when it isn't divisible by it.

The part of math that I first fell in love with was how complex numbers unify trigonometry with exponentials/logarithms.

Oh, I was confused by your "it". 

But that's the nice part about working with real numbers instead of just integers.  Everything is "divisible" by everything but 0.

[theory]

If I'm not mistaken, you can also factor (1 - tan^2 x) as (1 + tan x) * (1 - tan x) right?
