Trying clearing cookies/cache. That usually fixed the problem.

Will do. Hoping some of that is in the next big update.

Yeah, pieces are moving, but it's so disjointed that it still feels like a letdown. Pyramidland was just filler. Why are we wasting five minutes on a little pre-teen drinking party? The overly dramatic entrance of DragonLady only made me laugh. Cleganeland was filler too. We all knew what was going to happen after the last episode. Was that crude attempt to make the bad guys look definitely like bad guys really necessary after they murdered a pile of people? No other surprises there. Tulllyland ended anticlimactically. I didn't expect Blackfish to be a complete moron. I thought they'd built him up better than that. Cersei got loopholed by Old Man Priesty yet again, as expected. The terminator sequence at the end was as boring as it was confusing. Did she get stabbed or did she not get stabbed? Can she barely move a foot or can she sprint a marathon? Is she cured at the end? I know there's a theory that Obi-wan had a part in that, but I don't even care enough to investigate that. I dunno. I like this season but that episode was a letdown. It was literally just busy-work. All the momentum from the previous episode is gone. I'm getting a Lost feeling lately, where everything is a gigantic buildup to nothing. I can only hope a bunch of peeps get iced next week to make up for it.

You know, I used to be in the same camp as you, but I've softened that stance a little bit. It's easy to be flippant, but awareness is important. I think that a large earthquake happening on the west coast is a matter of time. Could be now, or hundreds of years from now, but it will happen. It's not something to fear daily, but it's definitely something to be serious about and prepared for. This is from a 2015 New Yorker article, which thankfully sticks to the science rather than fear-mongering(suggested reading): http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/07/20/the-really-big-one From the same article: Now, I don't know about you, but I think it's rather naive to think that this pattern is at an end. If anything, we're overdue. So, considering an earthquake is probable, how prepared is the area for a large earthquake? I've recently had the benefit of being in Japan, and it's altered my perspective on earthquake preparedness significantly. I've felt a couple heavier earthquakes (not pleasant), and seen the response to the recent Kyushu quakes, and it's really made me think about what would be different back home. My conclusion is that the west coast is woefully unprepared. For instance: Do you know how earthquake proof the buildings you reside and work are? Whether or not you're in an area that could be heavily affected? Do you know disaster protocol? Do you have an emergency kit at home? Do you know where the closest emergency assembly area is? Chances are, nobody can say yes to any of those, or one or two at most. When I moved to Tokyo I could answer yes to 4 of these within a week without even trying. To be fair, earthquakes are far, far more common here, but it does serve to indicate an intense lack of awareness regarding emergency situations and services on the west coast. When I move back, I'll be buying an emergency kit and I'll take some time (10 minutes is all it takes) to research potential dangers and disaster protocol where I live. It's a small thing to worry about, but I think everyone has a duty to be prepared.

Try using the theme dropdown at the bottom of the page to switch to the Default theme. Any difference?

Gotta disagree with you there. It's an incredible game, especially played with friends. $40 is solid value for it.
