So I start Crusader Kings 2. Within the first minute of playing William the Conqueror, one of my vassals revolted and declared war on me. I immediately pause the game try to raise an army. I kept clicking on everything. After making no progress, I quit and learned nothing.
Are you surprised?
Try playing a smaller nation first. They'll have a lot less micromanagament. If you haven't done the tutorial, do it too, it's not the most complete but it'll still help.
The tutorials will help with that a bit. They're not great but they're better than diving into a game like that knowing nothing. They at least teach you how to raise an army

Tried asking earlier, I think no one is doing them anymore.
There are three of us still looking for a UK 4-pack come on I know somebody still wants to pick up a copy of Borderlands 2.
Wtf, this is the most awkward game description I've ever seen:
"these characters are really famous, you just don't know it! oh and btw, we don't have the license to use their actual names, so we just made characters that look like them"

Those are their actual names. Or am I missing something here?
Didn't you know them as the characters in a well known TV show? In many countries around the world!

Anyone needs someone for a borderlands 2 four pack deal?
I watched Pat and Mat when I was younger. I never knew their names (as they don't speak) and I've never seen a title screen for the show. I think it's one of those weird European cartoons in which the name of the characters (and thus, the name of the show) change depending on the region they're aired in.
But I totally watched and loved them when I was younger (and not much younger, I was already in my teens).
They were neighbors and very DIY kinda guys. Always performing tasks in fixing their apartments/cars/appliances, always screwing something up in the process, like paint themselves along with the walls, create holes between the apartments and put a door there instead, fix the car but OOOPS it has no breaks, that kinda thing.
As I understand, the game is some sort of "The Incredible Machine" clone. I won it back in Christmas by crafting some coals, but never redeemed it. It's still sitting in my inventory.

I'm looking for a UK host right now, but at this point if somebody wants to host a US one I'd probably bite.

Thanks for clearing that doubt MNc XD
I don-t think people "hate" the game, it is underapreciated. It's in the same league of quality as
the first one, which is regarded as a cult classic and has a decent following. At 5 dollars its more than worthy of anyone's time.
Playing with Physx (those that can) it's downright amazing in some parts.
Edit: And yes, the themes in regards to child abuse, pedophilia and rape touched up in Alice are way more disturbing and heavy than any of that Tomb Raider BS. The gaming press person that put that article up should be ashamed for being a videogame iliterate.

It could be that he had already raised the armies you were trying to raise when you assumed power.
Read this Let's Play and go through the tutorials. 300 hours in and I can tell you, it's not that large of a hump. If you put a little into learning it, you'll get past it easily.

much better to just buy a 1TB internal drive, installation is easy (connect 2 cables) and it will be better than an external drive
Empty Space

Is the drive you want something you are going to carry around or is it simply for back up purposes?
Not to mention usually cheaper.
You could play games from an external hard drive, but I wouldn't recommend it. Internals have much higher bandwidth than externals. I only use externals for backups or for media (movies, mp3's, etc).

nah I guess internal is good not sure what is the best one to get.... probably using amazon its cheapest for me
