4 éves unokahúgom és a barátnője kórusban: - A mancs őrjáratot.

Öcsém apósa: - Mikor kezdődik a meccs?

Öcsém: - Úgy látom már a kocsmában kint ülnek a kivetítő előtt.

Öcsém apósa: - Lányok utánna megnézzük a fogócskát? Arról szól hogy akinél a labda van, annak el kell szaladni, a másik csapatnak meg el kell venni a labdát.

4 éves unokahúgom és a barátnője kórusban: NÉZZÜK!

Azt hittem photoshop, de nem. :P

Mészöly Géza nyilatkozata, ami miatt egy plusz két hónapos eltiltással sújtotta a Magyar Labdarúgó-szövetség:

„…Tudtunk váltani egy picit és a beszálló játékosok is… Most Franklinre (Sasere – a szerk.) gondolok. Nem szerettem én se játszani ilyen nagydarab feka ellen, aki megtartja a labdát és megcsúsztatja. Szerintem kulcsfontosságú volt, hogy ő be tudott jönni.”

Nemrég az Újpestet is bedarálta a NER ugye, szóval ilyen drapi nem lesz már kint valszeg mint a cikkben látható fotón.

Frostback Mountains: Attack to Haven

Main quest:  In Your Heart Shall Burn

Haven is a small village in the Frostback Mountains. It is not marked on most maps. In DAO was the place where a cult to a dragon that they considered Andraste incarnated stayed isolated from the rest of Thedas. 

This post has compiled the most relevant information during the main quest for completion’s sake. These quests have little “archaeological” value, but since I’m visually covering the majority of the game, I can’t put them aside since there are some exceptions, such as the Temple of Mythal.

When the Breach is closed with the help of Mages or Templars, there is a celebration in Haven. However, it lasts not longer, since it is immediately under attack of Corypheus and his Red Templars.

The most important part of this quest in my opinion is all the information that Corypheus gives us. It’s as valuable as the little bits he dropped in DA2: Legacy

I think Corypheus here speaks of a truth that mortals cannot have, referring to the truth that there are no gods. He claims that the inquisitor, pretending to be a Herald of a goddess, is not different than what he was once with Dumat [”Know me, know what you have pretended to be”]

I find curious he speaks of himself as “the will of Corypheus”. Considering his ability to jump into different bodies, probably this will is the only real thing that Corypheus is. The concept of “will” is explored once more with Abelas: the Well of Sorrows contains the “will” of all the high priests of Mythal. And they all are bound to the “will” of Mythal [check the post about Temple of Mythal to see these details]

It’s also interesting that he claims that the Anchor was his “craft”. So this energy, which we know it’s Fen’Harel’s energy, is concentrated in a hand, that was Corypheus’ doing. This would explain loosely why he was in the Temple of Sacred Ashes, looking for Justinia. Apparently, for whatever reason Justinia is needed, she was a component of what Corypheuys needed to do to unlock the power of the Orb, anchor it, and use it for himself.

I’m still curious why, from any other better candidate, such as an elf or a human with dragon blood, or even a mage, Corypheus chose Justinia, a mere [magically speaking] powerless human, to unlock the power of the Orb [I wrote some old considerations to question here on this matter]

However, when we question this to Corypheus, he claims it was about the chaos generated by killing important leader figures in the political world of Thedas. I get that, but he could have killed the Divine as he wanted to do with Celene in order to ensure chaos. Instead, he dragged some kind of energy from her, and that’s one of the biggest mysteries in this narrative for me. Why Justinia?

He once more confirms he entered the Fade in the name of Dumat [”in the name of another”] to “serve the Old Gods in person”, which I assume it’s to help them to stop being silent. Let’s remember that the Old Gods had communication with their priests via dreams until they went silent and Tevinter fell in despair to the point that they developed rituals to break into the Fade and look for them personally.

What Corypheus found in the Black City was “chaos, corruption [understood as the Blight], and dead whispers.

There is once more this italic “will” in the text, where Corypheus emphasises that he had gathered the will to return by his own name, without following Dumat anymore. He realised the place of the gods was empty, and in almost a human gesture, he wants to become the god that the humanity always asked for. 

Sure, this is not merely an altruistic goal, but certainly is a motivation a bit more complex than power-hunger as the Chantry always narrated the story of the Sidereal Magisters.  Corypheus is not the best candidate for a god, but I like how all the information we had about the Tevinter Magisters acquires a different hue here. Corypheus is a blighted immortal creature, who is also Tevinter culturally speaking, so his moral will always be quite questionable, and he turning into a god is something as terrible as the shattering of the Veil. However, there is some degree of “nobility” [I knot it’s a big word, but I can’t come with another one] in his mission that I’m not sure how much it’s perceived: he knows humanity cannot handle the truth that the gods do not exist, so he wants to become the god they deserve. I wonder if Corypheus’ story doesn’t hide a parallel with the Evanuris, or at least, some of them. We know that Falon’Din was a power-hunger creature, but maybe Mythal or others wanted, originally, to be the god for The People, because the world was too cruel without any. 

Once Haven is destroyed and we endure the song of Mother Giselle, Solas speaks with the inquisitor dropping some details:

Solas informs the Inquisitor that the orb that Corypheus holds is elven. In fact, by the end of Tresspasser we will know he gave it to him somehow hoping that the unlock would kill Corypheus. He had just awaken from his slumber and was too weakened to do it by himself.

He confirms that unlocking the orb was what destroyed and killed so many in the Temple of Sacred Ashes.

Solas is surprised for Corypheus survival. By the time we reach the Temple of Mythal, we will learn that Corypheus’ will can jump into other blighted creatures and revive from them, but this procedure only happens if he is close to his dragon. This is probably a retcon from DA2: Legacy

Solas calls the orb with the Tevinter name: foci, and he claims they channelled the power of the “elven gods”, probably meaning the Evanuris.

He says that some “were dedicated to specific member of the pantheon”, which I infer it means that not all the Evanuris had an orb.

We know that Corypheus wants to enter the Fade and the Black City once more. We know he is already immortal and has immense power. What’s it in the Fade that he needs and that will be necessary for becoming a god? So far we speculated from Trespasser, the Evanuris claimed godhood through the use of lyrium or through the titan’s hearts that ended up being the orbs. 

This implies that there must be another component to acquire godhood, and it may be in the Black City, whatever this place is.

On the other hand, he serves chaos in the mortal world killing important leaders like Celene and leading an army of demons using the Grey Warden for that matter.

Hetes rögbi, a sportszerűtlen bagettek és az izraeli döntetlen – Olimpianapló I

Még két nap van a 2024-es párizsi olimpia hivatalos megnyitójáig, de én már a -2. napon ideköltöztem a TV elé. Az esti Izrael – Mali focimeccsre hegyezek persze, de már délután négy óta itt ülök. Az első eredmény a hetes rögbi férfi küzdelmeiben született: Ausztrália csapata 21-14-re verte Szamoa együttesét szerdán. Soha nem láttam még hetes rögbit, a 14 fős hagyományos változatot jól ismerem.…

A most zajló labdarúgó EB kapcsán a MediaMarkt az igazi meccsélményről kérdezte a lakosságot. Szeretjük egyáltalán a focit, vagy csak visz minket a csapatszellem? Hogyan és kivel osztjuk meg a meccs izgalmait és örömeit? Milyen technológiai megoldások segítenek bennünket ebben? Igazi focirajongók vagy társasági szurkolók vagyunk? Amekkora érdeklődés övezi hazánkban, azt gondolhatnánk, hogy a…
