Here I was gonna say "Sherlock Holmes". lol ... And I don't really have any kind of comment about that dance picture other than  I can see why it reminds him of that one qunari armor, though. Its just... they don't have any pants.  Qunari have a thing for red string. It has symbolic significance. You can see it everywhere - even dragon in Trespasser had red string tied all over and it wasn't to restrain her, just to decorate/symbolize. It might be a reflection of the real-world superstitious use of red thread to protect oneself from witchcraft, faeries, spirits, etc. We already know the Qunari are deeply fearful of magic and magical beings, and a fair number of other things in the DA setting have some parallel in reality. |

This performance art satisfies a demand of the Qun. SO glad he did this. I saw that pic earlier today and thought something similar! Its just... they don't have any pants. Well they are wearing flesh-colored undergarments. Keep in mind that this is a stage performance. From a distance, the audience would only see the bodies with the string flying everywhere as they moved. I'm sure it makes for an interesting visual. |

I can totally see that as an inspiration. There's another potential source for it too, and it's Chinese belief in red thread of fate. |

Amber @elementalamberIf you're buying yourself a mask for the smoke today, remember that just a dust mask will not help. You need a particulate mask/respirator. Most hardware stores carry them. Again, plain dust masks will NOT help. Take care of yourselves! Get some eyedrops too! Patrick Weekes @patrickweekesAgreed! pbs.twimg.com/media/DlY9Az7U4AAUvJI.jpg[HASH]DAT

The smoke must be crazy in Alberta (it's from the British Columbia forest fire), we had some of it here in Quebec this morning (you could look at the sun directly, it was red).

Joseph La Russa @joseph_La_Russa
Hey Mike, quick question: with the recent, last minute delay of the Spyro trilogy, it made me think, what kind of benefit does a short delay do for a game? E.g., DAI's delay of about a month, what did it get out of that short time? If you're allowed to be specific.
Mike Laidlaw - PAX West
Usually a short delay like that is for one of two things. There might be some urgent, last-minute fixes that are necessary to meet certification requirements or performance specs, or it might be a "with one more month we could close another 1,000 bugs" quality boost. Both good!

Been like that here since early July. Finally getting a break today and some cooler weather, but fires are still burning everywhere. (Dear Canada: Please don't send us your smoke, we have enough of our own, thankyouverymuch.)

Even the executions - where you cut someone’s head off - don’t net a spray of blood. If this was DAO, the Inquisitor would be drenched. More realistic? Maybe. But less fun. You know what Dragon Age has lost? The blood. God, Origins was a bloody game! We lost that somewhere along the way. And traded it for the kind of cleancut, law-abiding evil that ultimately causes more suffering! Yeah, but nobody plays Mortal Kombat for the Friendship finishers. |

I can see why it reminds him of that one qunari armor, though. Its just... they don't have any pants.
