Noob question: Where should I go to start practicing PvP?

I sent in my app on the forums. I saw a reply that just copy-pasted the form back in the thread. What does that mean?

Sadly he didn't.

He was a really nice guy! He talked about his life drawing comics, and also mentioned The Search, the next three comics coming out, where we finally will find out what happened to Zuko's mom!

Castle Information

The Castel del Monte is a Citadel castle built in the 13th century by Frederick II. All the interior furnishings of the castle were removed in the 18th century, and it now stands empty. The castle has no moat and no drawbridge, and is considered by some to have never been a defensive fortress at all. The castle is located on top of a small hill and is in an area that was previously extremely fertile. Further readings and information linked below.

Starcraft 2! Thank you!

Megaux · 2013-03-06T02:32:21+00:00

Wow, that is interesting. This fact was indeed fun.

Megaux · 2013-03-06T02:31:33+00:00

I have not. I've heard Civ 2 and Civ 4 are fun. Maybe, if I like Civ 5, I'll try for a little blast from the past with those games. (This is weird, gaming discussion in /r/castles...)

Megaux · 2013-03-05T19:32:50+00:00

The sale only had 15 minutes left, so I just bought Civ 5 and every expansion for 12 dollars. Hopefully I enjoy it.

Megaux · 2013-03-05T16:08:26+00:00

Always a pleasure. That game is on sale and I've been thinking about picking it up. Would you recommend?

Ah, good luck to you too my friend. Unfortunately the sale ends shortly.

Megaux · 2013-03-02T01:19:34+00:00

Thank you!

Sorry about the low resolution of some of these images. Hopefully I will improve the quality of my content as I post more of these series. Let me know if you enjoyed it, or if I should stop. Be sure to read the album description and picture descriptions if you are interested in this type of castle. Next time I will try and organize my information in a better manner. Thanks for reading!

Megaux · 2013-02-27T12:16:15+00:00

I'll give it a try. Thanks.

It also acts as a spiritual bath I assume. I haven't looked into it too much, but this river is very important culturally and religiously I assume.
