  1. Thai-Laos friendship bridge, name says it all nothing too fancy

    Thai-Laos friendship bridge 2. Apparently, we really do like our friendship bridges as not included in this post is about half a dozen more finished/planned friendship bridges between different countries

    The bridge on the river Kwai. Featured in the movie of the same name, it is part of the infamous Death Railway during world war 2 where POW and conscript are forced to construct a railway to Burma

    Spoiler

    Actually, the bridge depicted above isn't the same as the one in the movie as the real thing (shown above) is part of the death railway but it didn't even cross the river Kwai. Though that didn't stop the local from pretending it is for them sweet sweet tourism cash

     

  2. ofc I pick when.

    I'll just find out when I die then commit suicide before I die just to give the middle finger to fate.

    .... wait hold on, I don't think that how it works...

     

    Joke aside, I'll pick neither. Already have enough thing going on in my life that I really don't need the fear of knowing added in there too

    (My image has been cropped quite a bit. If you need more headspace, just let me know and I'll give the full image)

    One hat placed courtesy of Google reverse image search and Gimp's ability in pulling free space out from nowhere coming right up

    Just don't pay attention to the blurry line bit on top, still haven't figure out how to properly soften border edge yet

    EDIT: Picture replaced and reupload for a one with a slightly less noticeable blurry line

    I would go back to being 10 years old.  I would start saving all the money I could and invest it in AOL.  Buying in at $12 a share for a grand total of 1520.  Once the stock passed its record high of $90 I would have sold.    $140K roughly in profit would then have then split and invested in WalMart at $8.45 (8,284 shares bought) and Amazon at $18.00 (3,888 shares bought). 

     

    I would have continued to go to school while my investment grew.  April 30th of 2005 I would have sold the Walmart Shares and netted $296,567.20.  I would have turned around and invested it in Google at $54 per share gaining me 5491 shares.  I would have gone and done the same things I did.  Fall in love, lose her.  Hit rock bottom and climb out of the pit and find a new hope and begin to pass it on to others.  Finally on Nov 27th 2017 ($1,056.52) and I would have netted $5,801,351.32 and my amazon investment would have grown to a value of $4,519,216.80 and expected to double within a few years.  Eventually I would sell it all.  Buy a home, spread the gospel full time for free with all of my needs taken care of by my investment.

     

    Unless you going back in time somehow changes the timeline of what's going to happen :smug:

     

    That aside, I have a feeling my parent wouldn't let 10 years old me make major investment into international companies. I'll choose the option anyway so I can cruise through highschool school and end up with better grades, do well in university and just not make as many regretful mistakes as before. Probably going to treat it as more of a second chance in life rather than do trying do to anything to set myself up later to be a millionaire

    Aww Me and my glorous legs shall rise again.

    The good news is that you got decapitated so there's exactly 0 chance of you coming back as a zombie with stinky, rotten legs

    The bad news is that I have no idea whether you can get a new banner in the game or is it lost forever now.

     

    On a sidenote, this or the next update might actually be the very last update for the current Battle Brother playthrough. I kinda want to do a new playthrough and use experience from this playthrough to not make as many mistakes in the new one.

  8. Time to unveil the newly named recruits. Since no one volunteered, the following people have been... forcibly conscripted. The four will be joining us for the first few battles so they can accumulate some experience.

    Update 5 (part 2): "That belongs in a museum!"

    So the TKR mercenary company has been roaming around, taking contracts for quite a while. We need a goal, something to do. It was then decided that the next goal (aside from making shitton of money and fame) is to find a unique equipment. Unique equipment are one of a kind weapons or armor which is not only good but possessing one will make the TKR mercenary band even more famous.

     

    Scouring the local tavern, there was a rumor of an adventuring party  who was ambushed trying to dig up some artifacts in a nearby ruins. Survivors told of the dead rising up to meet them in combat.  The company immediately set off for that place in hope of finding a unique equipment despite not quite knowing what to expect.

    The very sp00ky battle (part 1)

    Spoiler

    Entering the battlefield, we immediately spotted a couple of zombies (aka Wiedergangers). eh, this is not so bad. But then, more kept coming until someone spotted a Fallen hero among the horde

    yG5uMfj.jpg

    Fallen hero is basically a very well armed and armoured zombie. "Well, this isn't too bad yet there's only one so I think I can handle it". However, as the saying goes, overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

     

     

    And then some Geist appeared. Geist are ghost that are very good at making people flee and are extremely hard to hit. So this fight basically went from a very easy fight to one where we're probably fucked.

    Soon enough, the line of zombie starts to claw at the frontliner. A few of them falls.. but just to then rise up again immediately. Things are going relatively well until the geists start screaming unholy terror for everyone to hear. Saintly Bloody (top left) and Awsomness are the first to start fleeing.

    Saintly Bloody was lucky enough to break away from the zombies while taking minimal damage. In addition to this, the Fallen hero decides to chase him instead of going after the main line which is nice. Awesomeness on the other hand, wasn't so lucky, taking a sword to the gut as he tries to run away

    The very sp00ky battle (part 2)

    Spoiler

    During all of this, Deus did a pretty good job showing his legs to prevent (most) people from fleeing in terror and forcing fleeing people to come back into battle

    dYltIU2.png    3XLjVc8.png

     

    However, it wasn't quite enough and the front line starts to fall apart. Deus is now within melee range of the zombie, while Laffopuritain is forced to put away the bow and draw a sword to drive away the oncoming horde. Meanwhile, the Fallen hero decided to stop chasing Saintly Bloody and came back to fight the other frontliners.

     

    and then shit hits the fan when one of the zombie took offense to Deus's magnificent legs and decapitate him.

    Wait, hold on a minute...

    28LsVZU.pngNHNPBAt.png

     

    uhhhhhhh.... well then...

    It appears that during the whole commotion, the recently deceased Awesomeness came back as a zombie and the first thing he did was chop off Deus's head.

     

    Losing the bannerman is a pretty big deal since there's no one to rally people and almost everyone is now fleeing, not wanting to listen to the geists' shitty mixtape. Well, it's time for the nuclear option

    Aftermath and current roster

    Spoiler

     

    The good new is that no one else died. The bad news are that everyone injured themselves pretty badly during the retreat and the company's banner along with the bannerman's sash are lost somewhere in the ruin.

    So yeah, I guess the quest for unique equipment went pretty badly
