That looks really delicious.

What? I have Skyrim now, I don't have time for all that!

You know, TECHNICALLY, if you have time in Skyrim to do something, you have time to do it in real life, too. It's, like, the same time!

I was so glad to see the Lusty Argonian Maid make a return.

This doesn't just happen when the Crusades are mentioned. Certain subsets of Protestantism consider Catholicism a de facto separate religion.

I'm not sure why you're telling me this. I'm certainly not going to stop being interested in history and having critical thought by invoking "crazy people." When did I reflect anything on an entire group, anyway? What are you even talking about?
