Glass Ass: The OFFICIAL JGlass Thread

LOL, knowing JGlass's very public disdain for Conan O'Brien, I doubt he gives the show a call. BTW I doubt you just call up Conan's show & say "Hey can you put this short I made on your show please?" & He'd be like " Okie Dokie, we'll throw it in the show on Tuesday".



Doesnt like Conan? This is something i guess I never heard before.



And you would be surprised how easy it is to get something noticed- If you have a solid idea. Most studios have people that do nothing all day but search out fresh ideas. You get your video or jokes in their hands and it can get a green light pretty fast. They are in constant competition and always looking to one up the other shows.
 
The Dunmer in Skyrim usually seem pretty grateful just to have a place to go from what I can tell. It doesn't seem as though many of the common Dunmer harbor any ill will towards the Argonians. Then again, things could be very different in Morrowind.

They'll be more incensed in Morrowind, though on their island refuge in Skyrim, there'll be a bunch of pissed off badass elves too.

I can't imagine getting to side with the AD as they are evil through and through, though it could be interesting. I could, however, see you fighting for a side in favor of forming a new empire or for a side in favor of sovereign nations. I would imagine that Redguars, Orcs, Argonians and Nords would like sovereign nations, and Imperials, Bretons, Dunmer, and non-AD Altmer would like the empire back.

Are they evil, or do we not have a full understanding of what's actually going on? We've been at the opposite end of the empire to Thalmor controlled lands after all and in an area where the populace doesn't like them very much. Shades of grey and all that.

I can't imagine a game set in Elswyr. It's a desert with few cities and less scenery. It would be cool to go to a desert city, but I can't imagine an entire game there. That sounds more like a DLC to me.

There have been games set in arid provinces before :shrug:

The Nords already know the Thalmor are there, and they don't like it, and if our theory of the Stormcloaks winning the Civil War is correct then I can't see what is stopping the Nords from making the Thalmor leave Skyrim by force if necessary.

True, but they could easily underestimate just how many. Especially after they deplete their numbers fighting the empire.

I might flip it and look at it like an American Revolution situation. Why would the majority of Bosmer be in favor of the group that took their land and called it theirs? But you're right, it's probably a little of both.

They didn't take their land and call it their own. They kicked out the Imperials, and declared themselves part of a new elvish empire. When the empire, and people who liked it disagreed they were defeated in battle over a century ago. It's a fair bet that the majority of Bosmer are pro-AD.

Not if it's a desert where you literally want everything there to die. That would leave a few hundred Khajit scattered around the other provinces, and they wouldn't last very long in that state.

The Khajit are just going to stay in their territory when they find out that they were lied to about the moons? Hell no, they'd go into Valenwood, hide in the day and ruin shit during the night. Hard to find a kitty in the Forrest when he doesn't want to be found.

If it's Redoran in charge then yeah, they'll cast their lot with the Thalmor, but it seems to me that most Dunmer don't consider Argonians sub-human in Skyrim. Hell, there's that one Dunmer in Riften that was raised by Argonians.

However, most of the Dunmer who fled Morrowind are on Solstheim, with House Redoran...

It's worth noting that the Argonians haven't been slaves since the 2nd era, which was thousands of years ago. There was a war in the 3rd era as well, but that was a long time ago as well. If America can elect a black president, I'm confident that Dunmer and Argonians can put their past behind them.

This in a series where an alliance from the Second Era has reformed with the same prejudices and goals as before? Also, there were slaves in the third era in Morrowind. Most of them beast folk.
 
Fair enough. Then again, if the Argonians are in charge how successful can the Thalmor be at building up a Dunmer resistance?

They do not have to be successful - indeed, much like with Ulfric and the Nords, the Thalmor wouldn't care if the Dunmer were successful or nor just that they provide a distraction for the Argonians (which might actually share something of a border with Skyrim depending on how much of Morrowind they have conquered). A Dunmer insurrection and Khajit raids would provide such a distraction.

Of course, much like the Thalmor, exactly how powerful the Argonians really are is open for much debate. Their conquests in Morrowind might seem impressive have been far more to do with the weakness of Morrowind and capturing more land than they can deal with with might even make the Argonians less effective militarily (although the ability of the An-Xileel faction to defeat the Daedra and even invade Oblivion might suggest that there is more mettle to them).

I can't imagine the Bretons, a highly intelligent race, would want to take The Reach along with the potential betrayal from their Thalmor allies, not to mention that the Redguards wouldn't give a Thalmor a glass of water if he was dying of thirst. If the Thalmor attempt to invade Skyrim then the other races of men will know that they're next, and they'll use their geographic position to flank the Thalmor in Skyrim.

The exact route of any Thalmor invasion of Skyrim is an interesting question. None of Skyrim is exactly close to Thalmor territory in Valenwood with much of Hammerfell and Cyrodiil in the way.

I suppose given their home on the Summerset Isles that the Thalmor have some sort of naval abilities so it could be possible to invade through the foothold of their embassy near Solitude. However, that is fraught with danger as the Thalmor forces could quickly come to grief against the mountains and holdfasts of Skyrim, leaving them in great danger. I suppose that is why I see them approaching the Bretons for an alliance, to protect their flank in any seaborne invasion and to provide them with supplies and an escape route through the harbours of High Rock should things go wrong.

Of course, the situation could all change depending on what happens with the Empire. Should it collapse completely, it is entirely possible that there would be some kind of territory grab between all of Cyrodiil's neighbours. The Argonians could easily take the entire Nibenay Basin, the Nords could come through the Jerall Mountains to take everything up to Lake Rumare; the Thalmor could advance from Valenwood through the Great Forest towards Imperial City; even the Khajits could take the western coast of the Nibenay - the Imperial conquerors become the conquered.

Such a collapse of the Empire could easily provide the spark for the next great war for without the Empire there is no White Gold Concordat...
 
Just bought the Leviathan and Omega DLCs for Mass Effect 3.

I've heard rumours that Aria is a possible romance option with the Omega DLC. That would be brilliant. Let's get this shit done.
 
Well I came here to discuss a (possibly) humorous, pop-culture troppy thought I had about an interaction I had with a woman. And then I discovered that the people occupying this thread are more interested in video games than women. What happened to you guys?

I feel so strange being on the outs when it comes to video games. I feel like I lose a lot of great reference points with other people. I need to stop liking things nobody else does. Or push my preferences on others...

There is always The NorCal thread
 
You guys dont know this since I creep about in the rafters of the forum, but I often pop in here just to see how bewildered and lost I am at whatever conversation is taking place

Very true. I suppose a house of warrior elves would be a good asset to have, even if they are somewhat isolated, self-possessed, and devious.

Are they evil, or do we not have a full understanding of what's actually going on? We've been at the opposite end of the empire to Thalmor controlled lands after all and in an area where the populace doesn't like them very much. Shades of grey and all that.

I usually find genocide to be on the more blatantly evil things, something Mass Effect has taught me time and time again.

There have been games set in arid provinces before :shrug:

Yeah, but games set in deserts usually feature some sort of desert wasteland with tons of ruins ripe for exploring or desert cities. It's also worth noting that, compared to the vast expanses of Skyrim and Cyrodiil, Elsweyr is very small. Maybe a combined game of Elsweyr and Valenwood would work better, especially if it has to do with saving the Khajit from Thalmor exploitation and building an alliance between Bosmer rebels and Khajit tribes.

Upon further research, I think Elsweyr would be a fantastic place for a DLC expansion. There are apparently many buried Dwemer ruins, and it would be cool if you can discover once and for all what happened to the Dwemer, similar to how you find out what happened to the Snow Elves in Dawnguard.

True, but they could easily underestimate just how many. Especially after they deplete their numbers fighting the empire.

Yeah, but they'd have a better chance of running the Thalmor out of Skyrim at that point than if they waited for the Thalmor to make the first move.

They didn't take their land and call it their own. They kicked out the Imperials, and declared themselves part of a new elvish empire. When the empire, and people who liked it disagreed they were defeated in battle over a century ago. It's a fair bet that the majority of Bosmer are pro-AD.

They'd really be embracing the style of their jaguar and panther relatives, eh? I can dig that.

This in a series where an alliance from the Second Era has reformed with the same prejudices and goals as before? Also, there were slaves in the third era in Morrowind. Most of them beast folk.

It is true that the people of Tamriel hold grudges and beliefs that are centuries old, but it also seems that once they get over it, they're done with it.

A Dunmer insurrection and Khajit raids would provide such a distraction.

I can't imagine the small amount of Dunmer being able to break into Skyrim if they're dealing with Argonians. Still, using the Dunmer to distract the Argonians and Khajit do distract South Skyrim could prove to work.

Of course, much like the Thalmor, exactly how powerful the Argonians really are is open for much debate. Their conquests in Morrowind might seem impressive have been far more to do with the weakness of Morrowind and capturing more land than they can deal with with might even make the Argonians less effective militarily (although the ability of the An-Xileel faction to defeat the Daedra and even invade Oblivion might suggest that there is more mettle to them).

I may be an Argonian apologist, but I think they are one of the most diceptively strong races in the game, especially in the safety of the Black Marsh where the mystical Hist grants them all sorts of protection. Also, how many armies can ambush you by crawling out of the river you're next to in the middle of the night?

The exact route of any Thalmor invasion of Skyrim is an interesting question. None of Skyrim is exactly close to Thalmor territory in Valenwood with much of Hammerfell and Cyrodiil in the way.

I suppose given their home on the Summerset Isles that the Thalmor have some sort of naval abilities so it could be possible to invade through the foothold of their embassy near Solitude. However, that is fraught with danger as the Thalmor forces could quickly come to grief against the mountains and holdfasts of Skyrim, leaving them in great danger. I suppose that is why I see them approaching the Bretons for an alliance, to protect their flank in any seaborne invasion and to provide them with supplies and an escape route through the harbours of High Rock should things go wrong.

I don't see a naval attack on Northern Skyrim being an option. Solitude fought off numerous sieges during the War of the Red Diamond, and I'm fairly certain a few of those sieges included sea born attacks. Solitude just has too much protection as it's surrounded by cliffs and mountains that give them serious tactical advantages. They could test the Sea of Ghosts and try to land closer to Morthal or Dawnstar, but I doubt an armada of ships could make it through the treacherous, icy waters.

There actually is a road into Western Skyrim from High Rock, so if the Thalmor were able to work something with the Bretons, they could pretty much pop right out next to Markarth, an easily conquerable city considering how much trouble they have with The Forsworn. But I maintain that the Bretons would never trust the Thalmor, and would be even more wary if the Thalmor marched a big ass army through their land.

Of course, the situation could all change depending on what happens with the Empire. Should it collapse completely, it is entirely possible that there would be some kind of territory grab between all of Cyrodiil's neighbours. The Argonians could easily take the entire Nibenay Basin, the Nords could come through the Jerall Mountains to take everything up to Lake Rumare; the Thalmor could advance from Valenwood through the Great Forest towards Imperial City; even the Khajits could take the western coast of the Nibenay - the Imperial conquerors become the conquered.

In reality, an Imperial collapse seems very likely, but I doubt that's the way Bethesda takes it. As far as I know, the Empire has been around in every single on of the Elder Scroll games, and I doubt they'll deprive their loyal fans of seeing the Empire fall for themselves. I'm predicting Cyrodiil is crumbling at the beginning of the next game, and that land grab you speak of could be part of the questline.

Such a collapse of the Empire could easily provide the spark for the next great war for without the Empire there is no White Gold Concordat...

Call me cynical, but we all know that the White Gold Concordat heavily favors the Thalmor and is pretty much just a way to keep the Empire on a leash. If and when the Thalmor decide they want to strike, they'll throw that thing away like yesterday's news.

Just bought the Leviathan and Omega DLCs for Mass Effect 3.

I've heard rumours that Aria is a possible romance option with the Omega DLC. That would be brilliant. Let's get this shit done.

Omega was the free one, right? And there's another one coming out soon focusing on the Collectors? I've downloaded one of the new ones (I think Omega) and I've already played through Leviathan. I'm planning on playing my 3rd round of ME over winter break, though that's definitely in the back seat compared to Assassin's Creed 3 and Far Cry 3, and possibly even WWE13.

I'm just as well versed in women as I am in video games. Okay, that's a lie, but I can talk about women too. Let's have it.

Oh, I'm on episode 9 of The Wire, by the way. I get half of it, which is helping me get through the other half.

You guys dont know this since I creep about in the rafters of the forum, but I often pop in here just to see how bewildered and lost I am at whatever conversation is taking place

Yeah, the Elder Scrolls conversation between Barbosa, myself, and a few other players on occasion is a recurring theme in this thread. We usually keep the nerdiness level in here at a reasonable limit, but every now and again we go in full blown dork mode.
 
I have something of a theory about the supposed strength of Solitude. The support column below the Blue Palace would seem to be vulnerable, especially in the face of some Destruction spell wielding Thalmor.

In the event of of a siege, a large part of Solitude could easily go the way of Winterhold and end up in the sea
 
Very true. I suppose a house of warrior elves would be a good asset to have, even if they are somewhat isolated, self-possessed, and devious.

Well, a dishonest person you can always trust to be dishonest...

Also, Redoran are probably the more manipulatable of the Dunmer Houses. They're all about doing their duty to their clan, their family and their honour. If they can be persuaded that taking back Morrowind is the best way to do it, they damn well will.

I usually find genocide to be on the more blatantly evil things, something Mass Effect has taught me time and time again.

On the other hand, the Empire isn't above making deals with Molag Bal. Which they did in the second era. Genocide is evil, but so is making deals with the god of slavery.

Yeah, but games set in deserts usually feature some sort of desert wasteland with tons of ruins ripe for exploring or desert cities. It's also worth noting that, compared to the vast expanses of Skyrim and Cyrodiil, Elsweyr is very small. Maybe a combined game of Elsweyr and Valenwood would work better, especially if it has to do with saving the Khajit from Thalmor exploitation and building an alliance between Bosmer rebels and Khajit tribes.

Hammerfell is smaller than Skyrim but the map of Daggerfall is absurdly huge. As in, it's the size of Britain. Elder Scrolls 3-5 are tiny in comparison.

Yeah, but they'd have a better chance of running the Thalmor out of Skyrim at that point than if they waited for the Thalmor to make the first move.

That depends on what the first move is. If Thalmor were involved with the Great Collapse (a trial run, so to speak) they could do some severe damage to Skyrim, potentially putting an end to the war as soon as it begins.

Fair enough. I'm not that familiar with the Bosmer considering they are one of the more mysterious races in Elder Scroll lore.

It's explained in one of the lore texts.

It is true that the people of Tamriel hold grudges and beliefs that are centuries old, but it also seems that once they get over it, they're done with it.

The Argonians haven't had a chance to get "over it". The closest they cam to getting over it was invading the fuck out of Morrowind. As for the rest, not really. The Redguards were rehashing centuries old issues at the beginning of the fourth era (Crowns and Forbears), and still dislike the Nords for taking some of their land (ever wondered why there's a lot of Redguard bandits in Skyrim? That's the reason). Old feuds die hard and are never really forgotten. The only reason that Tamriel was stable during the third era was that the Septim Dynasty was strong enough to keep everyone on the same page. Once it died, old feuds that had been "gotten over" suddenly reemerged. Tamriel needs a singular ruler who can keep everyone else in line. Otherwise, the country just falls apart.
 
I'd join in on the Elder Scrolls talk, but I've barely played Skyrim. Played quite a bit of Oblivion, though.

I'd join in on the Skyrim talk, but, well... I just don't give a fuck about Skyrim or any Elder Scrolls game for that matter. I'll just continue to skim past it until I notice something being talk about that I do give a fuck about.

Always just overflowing with joy, aren't you?
 
Of course, Badgers won last night, Pack won today, & Bears lost, I'm in a pretty great mood, just have no desire what so ever to talk about Elder Scrolls. I'm not saying they should stop or anything.

I was just kidding.

But yeah, that Wisconsin win last night was WILD. The Packers game wasn't bad either, but they couldn't stop Peterson... At all.
 
Really looking forward to the end of the season for the Texans, Colts, pats, then colts again. Could get them in gear for the playoffs, both teams are good this year.
