    I have. Also if I ever become a teacher, which I plan on I'm going to say that to my students when I'm teaching about Stalin.

    Be sure to chide them incessantly if they haven't.

    Is this the first thread that has reached 150 pages on this forum?

    We should celebrate.

    Is it normal that my most prominent memory of that song is from a Muppets film?

    So, I just downloaded the new Xbox update for Skyrim today, and I noticed that they added new audio clips for random villagers.

    They now say things like "I used to be one of the best soldiers in the Stormcloak army, but then I took a sword to the chest".

    Yep.

    Also, the mounted combat is fuckin' awesome, I can now run down small tiny little animals without them getting away before I can stab them. We should also expect random villagers saying "I used to be a cavalryman, like you, then my horse took an arrow to the knee".

    Because horsemen are dependent on a single horse to ride their entire careers'.

    Huh?

    Also, I wouldn't mind, it'd please the hipster Skyrim fans who turned that shit into a meme.

    Are you sure? I thought there was just one guy in Windhelm who said that all the time.

    I can't tell if it's new or not.

    I've never heard him say it before, it was indeed a male voice and it was in Windhelm, but I've never heard it before until today.

    I've done three playthroughs by the way, two of which were Stormcloak so I spent a lot of time in Windhelm.

    Edit: However, it may be because you're on the PC. PC gamers generally receive updates much earlier and much more frequently than consoles. While consoles receive the whole bundle of what you had spread out through, say, a five month period.

    Actually a friend of mine was talking about Call of Duty World at War to me the other day and I randomly told him to read comrade Stalin's speeches. He replied that he's never found them in the game before but he'd go back and look.

    I didn't tell him that it was a joke, because I'm a prick like that.

    I've got it on Xbox. My computer's too shit to run anything like Skyrim. I'm pretty sure it is just one guy who says it and asks for money. I remember killing him because I thought he was a liar.

    Anyway, earlier you said something about mounted combat. Does that mean Dawnguard's been released? I haven't been on Skyrim for a while.

    There's mounted combat in the current beta patch, iirc. I haven't downloaded it though because I'm paranoid it'll fuck with my ten billion mods I have installed.

    Nope, It's fwee!!!! :D Bethesda released a patch (This patch, obviously) which added in mounted combat for the consoles, it isn't a part of Dawnguard.

    Although somewhat pointless, seeing how it isn't utilized so that others can do it as well. I haven't yet seen enemy NPC hop onto horses and charge at me, and I've never had a cavalry-on-cavalry battle.

    By the way, stay the fuck off my beaches. I'll go D-Day on your ass.

    Then honour the treaty bitch. I don't want to have to bring out the B.E.F to fuck over you krauts.

    Aside from all of this shit slinging, it is far too early into the game to coordinate an effective war against another alliance. I have said this before, and I'll say it again, I suggest we wait until artillery, Battleships and Railguns can be produced.

    War? Who ever said anything about war. I was just making a retort to your threat. I'm not even entirely sure who's part of your alliance.
