I know a few of you here play video games. What is your favorite genre? What are you playing right now?
I myself just beat Shadow of Mordor, and it is either my second or third favorite game behind Ocarina of Time. Right now I am playing Fallout 4, Dark Souls 2, Desiny the Taken King, and Battlefront, along with a few others. And I gotta say, Dark Souls is not for the faint of heart I tell you. I have put a couple hours in and have died at least 100 times.
Hmm, 7 days to die, Deus ex Human Revolution, Skyrim, Fallout 3 (don't have 4), and Tomb raider 2013.
My favorite types are Strategy Games (I think that's what it's called) like Age of Empires.
Currently I am playing Empire Earth, which is similar to Age of Empires.
I played a little Skyrim until our X-box stopped working.
My favorite games lately have been Animal Jam and Feral-Heart. They're both really fun animal roleplay games for the computer. ;D
Bioshock: Infinite is my favourite. Though I prefer watching the games as my brother plays them over playing them myself. He's a much better gamer, and I like the games with a good story and good visuals; I don't care for the challenge myself.

I haven't played Bioshock: Infinite in a while. I've never actually played 1 or 2. Need to rectify that.
Halo is definitely one of my favorites. Especially Halo 3. Bunjee really did a good job on those games. Tomb Raider (the newest one) is also a good one, though I haven't finished it. Fallout 4 is fun too, though I've not played much of it.
I dug out some old N64 games recently. Awesome.
Ive played a lot of Dragon Age: Inquisition and Garry's mod recently, though I played 860 hours of skyrim

DA:I and
Skyrim just happen to be two of my favourite games of all time. ;D)
Who's your Inquisitor? Who did you romance? Did you choose the templars or the mages? Have you played any of the DLCs? (Sorry, I just don't get to talk to a lot of people who've played a
Dragon Age game before. :P)
Any Pokémon fans?

2. no romances, yet

If you ever get an inkling to take screenshots of your characters, please send them my way so that I can fangirl over them and probably doodle them. ;D And as this is a video game topic and you have no way to stop me, I shall share about some of my Inquisitors:
Kestrel Lavellan: (http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q656/MoonfishParachutist/f06d3bd2-6b5e-4c51-9cb0-f80da50c4af4_zpsj3kbynyv.png) My "first" (technically second, but I didn't like my first so I got rid of her) Inquisitor and the only one I've completely beaten the game (and
Trespasser DLC) with. She's a mage who lost her memory when she got the mark and is genuinely very confused with everything going on around her. She romanced Solas, though. (My sweet, sweet egg who's actually pretty annoying now that I think about it.)
Kenira Adaar: (http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q656/MoonfishParachutist/def1cd34-6f66-42a2-b77b-6b6a17429ba5_zpsrieredei.png) A dual-wielding rogue who's actually fairly sweet for being a towering, terrifying person. She believes the best about everyone and is currently dating Iron Bull. (I don't like his romance as much as Solas'...)
Anya Lavellan: (http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q656/MoonfishParachutist/a4e21c37-153c-4e81-9b50-b4e186739cc9_zps31bfxuoy.jpg) One of my other rogues, this time an archer who really, really hates her clan and wants to go see the world, but not in the way the Inquisition has her seeing it. She just wants to get this whole mess over with so she can go adventuring (and visit every tavern along the way). She also kinda really likes Blackwall because he's a challenge (and his beard is really cool).
Silas "Si" Lavellan: (http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q656/MoonfishParachutist/96497b71-da1a-4ee3-ac8c-7f86408818b9_zpsvx1efwk0.png) My second favourite Inquisitor after Kestrel, Si's a dual-wielding rogue (I really like rogues, okay?) who is just happy to be apart from his clan, who he finds no kinship with as he believes in the Maker and not the elven gods. (Hence his lack of vallaslin.) He has a major crush on Josephine.
...I really like making Inquisitors.

Quote from: Inquisitor on March 11, 2016, 03:49:57 AM
3. both, but i chose templars first
Mm, yeah, my brother and I played the game at the same time, so we agreed that he'd go with the mages and I'd go with the templars and we'd see who was better. While I really liked the templar quest (because Cole is amazing), now that I know more of the lore of the franchise, I pretty much go with the mages every time. :P
Quote from: Inquisitor on March 11, 2016, 03:49:57 AM
4. fraid i havent played any dlcs
Well, if you ever decide you wanna get one, go with
Trespasser. It's the official ending to the game (kinda annoying that they made you pay extra to see the end...), and it's really good. Make sure you're high level when you do it, though; I was level twenty-something and I still
really struggled with it.

A Female elven archer, since I'm horrible at naming things she just has the default name. Not romancing anyone, sided with the templars. I've played through both of the pre-endgame DLCs, I'm trying to complete everyone's personal quests before I finish the main game, so no Tresspasser yet. I don't have any screenshots right now, but I can probably take some if you want.
On a different note, it's Bard's first birthday today! Chiming Noises!

I bought Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 during the Lego game steam sale, so I'm enjoying that. I think it's my favorite Lego game.
My brother and I got
Years 1-4 on a Steam sale as well, although that game isn't the greatest in my opinion.
Years 5-7 is probably much better than the first. :P

Why you gotta side with the templars? D: (Sorry, I'm just very anti-templars. If they were less of a corrupt organization and actually
protected the mages instead of making their lives pure torture, maybe I'd sorta like them, but as it stands, the templars kinda suck in my opinion. :P)
I was always a Nintendo fan. Pokémon, Legend of Zelda, Star Fox... yeah. Never a huge Mario fan, but I like Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros Wii. I also really love Minecraft, but I've never played many other first-person or RP games. They sound interesting, but my other interests take up most of my time. :P

Yeah, I was less than amazed by 1-4, but I really feel like 5-7 built on its strengths and lessened its weaknesses. Although that's all personal preferences.

As the institution stands right now they're pretty corrupt, but if the templars sympathized more with the mages, accepted them as people and actually did their job properly I think having them around is better than not. They just need a reform and a good vetting process for recruits.
Years 1-4 is the worst main series Lego game.
Supergiant Games has released a trailer for their new game, Pyre! I'm ecstatic!

So, recently I got Final Fantasy XV, which has turned out to be an amazing game. It looks great, play great, and the story is so rich I just love it. And I've never played a Final Fantasy game before, so this gives me hope for future titles. Anyway, so I way playing this once boss fight, and I swear it was the most mixed emotions thing I have ever played. If you don't plan on playing it, then read the spoiler, but if you do, I advise you to not unless you have gotten past Chapter 9
Spoiler
So you have to face this leviathan type creature right? Well, to awaken it this girl who you were supposed to marry goes and summons it so you can take it down and get its blessing. But when she goes to summon it, this guy who has been following you around the whole game straight up STABS HER and leaves her to die as you are fighting this thing. And before all of this you come flying in on this rocket and feel so cool, but NOPE. Go ahead and kill one of my favorite characters, THEN have her give me ultimate power to kill this thing while she nopes out. SO yeah, then once you kill the monster, she find her and you fall into this dream to when you two were young and she was captured by the enemy, and it is such a touching scene, but then she says she has to go away again, and this whole valley pops up and you can't reach her and OH ITS SO HORRIBLE. Then you wake up and find one of your three friends blinded, one hates you, and even later that the guy who stabbed the girl full on captures your other friend! But what makes it so sad is there is this book which you two communicate by by writing messages and transporting them by dog. Well, when you wake up the book is there with the dadgum flowers where she died in it. WHY DO YOU HURT ME LIKE THIS GAME! WHY!
I watched Conan play it and a boss fight took 72 hours.
No thanks.
Has anyone played War in the North? I really liked the game because I'm a big lotr fan but it was kinda limited and there was some bugs.
I play league of legends, team fortress 2, skyrim, the hobbit, and a couple others.
Anyone else addicted to Kairosoft games??? Just got Station Manager for my Kindle last week (now if they'll just release Fish Pond Park for Kindle!) and it's taking me away from Pokemon Moon (which, incidentally, I ended up playing really late last night because I couldn't think of any other way to help my brain relax enough to let me sleep)
So, I've been playing through the games I got mor my birthday and Christmas, and I have really enjoyed them. Here is a list of the ones I've beaten/enjoyed very much.
Bioshock Infinite. Very good game with easy combat, a super engaging story, and some of the most iconic characters to come out of the last generation of gaming. Elizabeth is just like, the best. Plus there is a twist which makes everything connect.
Final Fantasy 15. Easily my favorite game of 2016. Loved every second I played it. Basically, it was meant for me in every way. Such good combat and story I could not put it down for weeks.
Watch Dogs 2. Now this game isn't the most family friendly one out there, but it is still good. I find most of the enjoyment in the hacking rather than the story, which is great because the world is built around that concept.
Pokémon Moon. This game took everything great about X and made it ten times better. All the things changed for the new region were fantastic. I especially love the new moves that came with the types. Plus the region of Alola is pretty dang nice.
The Arkham Games (Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Knight). These three games are a perfect trilogy. The first one starts out like a comic book made into a game with a nice open area and fast paced story. Then things start to change in the City with new villains and schemes, until finally in Knight you are faced with multiple threats spanning from all the way back to the first game. I mean, it is Batman after all.
Skyrim: Speical Edition. 'Nuff Said.
Stardew Valley: I love this game with a burning passion. From the moment I planted my first parsnip seed I knew I would be hooked. This game sucked the life out of me but it was worth it. There is just so much to do!
So yeah, those are the games I've beaten and recommend highly. Hopefully this year I can find even better ones (Except Scalebound... THE ONE GAME I WANTED TO PLAY)
I've been playing Battlefield 1 quite often, and also Stellaris now that I bought it. Both are quite good.
I used to side with the stormcloaks (finish meme here) But now I always choose empire.
Am I the only person on the forum that plays SMITE and Warframe? :'(
I play Warframe occasionally.
Warface is one of the best free-to-play games out there, you guys should check it out.
I'm currently playing Baseball on NES:
Spoiler
I don't know why, but for some reason it just keeps being the best baseball game that I have ever played. It's as primitive as can be, but it turns that fact into its biggest advantage... it doesn't try to sell fancy camera angles nor over-complicated fielding (like games such as ESPN Baseball Tonight) and that just makes it the perfect time killer -although, I gotta admit that sometimes playing the outfield is a little awkward and the AI is the meanest in the history of anything, kinda like the offspring of Skynet and Josè Canseco, but I digress-.
It's not that it's hard, it's just... mean-spirited. Let me try to illustrate my point by the means of a direct example:
At one point I had taken down the first two batters of the computer, but the third one just barely got to first base. Since the game's flow was so overwhelmingly on my favor, I decided to tease the thing by passing the ball around all the in-field players (thus delaying the next at-bat). I did this twice, and... while the ball was going from first to third... the darn thing went and stole second! I was like "WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU?!"
On another game, I had completely shut down the game's offensive; I hit a HR off my first at-bat and struck out the top of the order with remarkable ease... then, on the very bottom of the ninth inning, the thing got hits off my every pitch and completely stole the win for me. And the thing is that this happens on every game, it will ALWAYS put up a fight and you will sweat to come on top. I have won more than I have lost, but no game ends with you winning for more than three runs... it's super challenging.
I have also been playing Bases Loaded (also on the NES) and, while vastly superior, it lost a lot of playability and charm. Kinda like... "Nice! Now I can change the line-up, see the stats, watch the pitcher's throwing motion and the number in his back (among a ton of other things); This is really cool! But... uh-oh, the sudden change of camera angle after they have gotten a hit off me made me lose track of the ball and now the batter got to a scoring position with no effort whatsoever". I'm sure I could eventually get used to it, but the problem is that I already know better.
And I have been trying to push my way thru LUNAR: Dragon Song. What a waste of a great name and franchise.
@Sierra: You ever play Backyard Baseball (the original, or at most the 2003 version, not the later ones or the PS games, which are inferior)? It's also known for its simplicity, while having a charm and personality to it that other baseball games lack. Both me and Matthias have played it.
Not yet, but
@Matthias720 did a darn good job selling me into the idea of playing it (and I'm afraid that you are guilty of the same thing. Not cool, man ;)).

*doesn't play video games but would really like to play Zelda... and Skyrim*
Skyrim was disappointing for me, I don't personally think that the game is worth it.
It depends on what you're looking to get out of Skyrim. You won't find a deep narrative or particularly clever writing, but you will enter a wonderfully interesting world that provides hours of little diversions and hidden tidbits. That's my experience with it.
I found the world slightly disappointing. But my favorite part was that Dwemer cavern, I forget the name of it though but it ran underneath most of Skyrim.

Haven't played in a while, but was playing as Alexios I Komnenos in the Basileia Rhomaion and the Sultanate of Rum is falling apart, so they're going down soon. Once I reclaim Anatolia I'm going for Anatolia.
Interesting.
Right now I started the game as the Duke of Dehubarth in Wales. I took over Ireland relatively quickly and allied myself with the Holy Roman Empire and France, then I requested an invasion of England from the Pope, I took over England with the help of the Holy Roman Empire and became Emperor of Britannia. Shortly thereafter I took over Scotland. Then I allied myself with France and requested an Invasion of the Holy Roman Empire from the Pope. Now I have most of Greece, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Empire of Britannia. And the year is 1301 I believe.
Ok, so I just found my fourth favorite video game: The Witcher 3. Oh my GOSH the game is so good. I have played it for a month now and still have not beaten it. The world is so big yet full of stuff to do, and the story is one of the best if not the best in any game I have ever played. All of you choices matter, and each character becomes a part of the overall narrative in ways you could never expect. I just love it so so so much. Plus it is based off a book series and I picked up the first one a few days ago, and it is already as good. Gah, I wish I had found out of this came earlier!
Payday 2 is free on Steam for a while, get it now if you're interested in it.
May as well throw out a list of my favorite games. In no particular order:
Resident Evil 4
Team Fortress 2
Fallout: New Vegas
System Shock
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Metroid Prime
Metal Slug
F.E.A.R
Resident Evil 2003
I like my shootbang.

I don't care what anyone says, Zelda is the best video game series in the world >:D
Well, that's debatable. There are other games series out there like Halo, Fallout, Dark Forces/Jedi Knight, Skyrim, Deus Ex...
Unless you mean best children's* game, which makes more sense.
*Children as the target audience. I'm not calling any of you kids. ;)
What Zelda has that most of those other series don't is consistency. Nearly all of the home console Zelda games are fantastic.
Those other series aren't anywhere near that level. Fallout 1, 2, and NV are some of the greatest games ever made, but on the other hand Brotherhood of Steel is pretty terrible and Fallout 3 and 4 frankly aren't very good. It carries over to the rest of the games you mentioned.
Zelda has over twenty mainline games, and I'd say the worst (Phantom Hourglass) is still at least an 8/10, most being 10/10. I can't think of many series with that kind of track record.
Oh yeah, Zelda games are my all time favorite, especially both Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild. Another good series that is consistently good is the Uncharted franchise. All 4 (about to be 5) are above a 9/10 and are just enjoyable.
Anyone here play any 7 Days to Die?
It, This War of Mine, and Batman: The Telltale Series are really the only games I've played in the past month or so.
I had the misfortune of trying This War of Mine almost immediately after playing Don't Starve for 80 hours. I played it for five minutes before I decided I was burned out on the whole "Crafting-based survival" genre.
I don't seem to get tired of those kinds of games, but then again I know why that is and most people aren't unfortunate enough to relate to that, so I get that you got burned out of them. It does seem like the kind of thing people normally would need to be in the right mood to play, besides.
I've never played those, I typically like to play the more story based exploration games. Gonff mentioned two really good game series that I like, the Zelda games and the Uncharted series.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING to play Dragon Age: Inquisition for more than 6 months now but.... i keep getting so lost.... i dont know what to do and i pick a place to go and immediately die cuz im not supposed to be there yet and.......... i love the game why cant i play it??
@Rainshadow if she's on, she'll be able to help.
The Evil Within 2 is out on Friday. 8-)
Looking forward to prodding that photographer guy in the trailer really hard with a pointy stick.
Dark Souls was not designed to be played at 10:00 P.M. I am just going to go watch some peace and happiness...anything that removes the tension that I am experiencing right now. ;D
Anyone played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice yet? It has (in my opinion) the best fighting mechanics of any game ever made. The makers of Dark Souls and Bloodborne really outdoing themselves with this latest title.
Mount and Blade Warband
I used to play this on the PC and recently discovered it had been releaed on PS4
I have had M&B for a while now and it still entertains me. I also have M&B With Fire & Sword and it is pretty good.

I wouldn't bother with a specific gaming purpose computer. They are quite expensive and it is easier to custom upgrade a standard PC
Well yeah, I more meant a rig good enough to game, not some expensive alienware stuff that shoots lasers in your eye or whatever, hahaha
Alienware is expensive junk, in my opinion.
Yeah, and it shoots lasers into your eye
I don't know about tat, but it certainly is low quality.
*Literally knows nothing about alienware.*
Uhhhhhhh Iiiiiiiii guess i'll just ask Kolman.
I use a second age HP laptop that shuts off when a being unplugs the power cord. There are many other physical disadvantages as well, such as the loose hinge that gives the screen two points of articulation. The webcam, unless exposed to extremely bright environments, refuses to even pick up the full silhouette of a figure. Not nearly all of the keys work, so naturally the next decision for this old broken but strangely sage computer was to plug in a separate keyboard. A while back I was making plans for obtaining a far greater, more powerful computer. But like many plans, and many ideas, this was forgotten. But I still feel the happy sensation of hope. Hope for something that just might be around the corner.

Anyone got an xbox one?
I didn't get any yes's, so does that mean no one here has an xbox one? Imma cry....
My brother wants to get one, but so far we don't really need it. All of our games work pretty good on our PCs
Appurrently not.
Y'all are LAME
I was finally able to acquire Battlefront 2!
Star Wars Battlefront 2? The new one I'm assuming? The campaign on that one is fun, didn't play much of the online stuff, but then again I usually don't -_-
Most of online gaming isn't what it's cracked up to be.
Yep, the newer one.
I actually haven't played the campaign yet, I have been sticking to multiplayer. My two brothers have had it and since there are four of us we decided to all get it so we could all be one squad.
I haven't encountered any issues with the online playing (me or my brothers). There is no open mic and the chat is rarely ever used.
That's cool, having a squad to play with definitely makes things more fun. That's why I was HOPING some people on here had an Xbox, since I don't have a regular group to game with -_-
Yeah, it is pretty neat. Especially since we are brothers, we don't have to track down any other people who didn't show up or are ghosting
Yeah... yeah... that is ALWAYS a pain....
I kept accidentally pressing the shortcut for 'record' while playing the multiplayer co-op, so I compiled it and put some background music in it. (a little bonus bit at the end)
Cool, Tungro! What type of PC do you use to run the game?
It is a compaq that runs windows. Model: CQ5110Y S/N: CNX92017K7.
We got it from a friend who had a few from his office that he was getting rid of. I added an upgraded graphics card, processor, and ram.

I just searched the web and they seem relatively cheap, $75. For upgrades, add $150+ or so (still cheaper than your average $450+ cheaper gaming purpose computer)
I know this is off topic, but it seems just about everyone here has a youtube channel.
It's positively uncanny.
I don't really use it. I mainly just have it for watching YouTube. In this case I kept accidentally pressing the record shortcut so I decided to use it.
(Well, I know, but) You still have one. I watch YT pretty often and I don't have a channel.
I just got one because I listen to a lot of my music on YouTube and wanted to be able to make playlists
Ah....
(To be crystal clear, I don't much care who has a youtube channel. I just found it interesting so many members do.)

Alright, Thanks. I'll be looking into this.
Ok, SO, I'm getting a gaming laptop! Normally I'd prefer a desktop, but it was on sale for black friday. It's guts are pretty good, not top-tier, but still pretty ok.
Spoiler
GeForce RTX 2060 GPU
Intel i7 processor
Who all does PC gaming here and is there a discord or something for said people?
I don't know if there is a discord or something for it, but you can talk to
@Kolman. He's got a gaming laptop.
@Kade Rivok eh your laptop is decent but how much are you paying for it?
It was on sale for 1,099 US
I don't think that's too bad, honestly. I've been thinking about building a computer (and I still plan to), but for a rig with more or less the same stuff in it (I don't know what type of 2060 is in the laptop, or the motherboard, or anything like that), the prices I was seeing were coming out to more than that all put together.
the 2060 is the laptop equivalent to the GTX 1070 Titan which is for the gaming desktops your card has more shaders but features a lower clock speed to help it stay cool because it is in the laptop and doesn't get the efficient cooling that desktops get the I7 as long as it is a 8th gen or higher will be sufficient for you to play just about any game you want. an nabbing it for $1100 is actually on par with the cost parts so not a bad buy at all.
The i7 is actually 9th gen, but I doubt I'll be pushing it to it's limits anyways. The only kind of workout it's going to be getting from me is games, and having 30 tabs open at once -_-
As for the GPU, since I'm a newbie I'm not really too focused on overclocking right now, so it's good enough for me ;D
*Eyes begin to glaze over from reading all this computer-y stuff.*
overclocking is now more of just a bragging rights factor than actually being useful anymore
@Kade Rivok There's a discord for the forum period. I can send you an invite tomorrow when our internet isn't about to die. Out of curiosity, what do you plan on playing? I7 and 2060 should be fine for most things, but that processing's going to bog on some higher-demand stuff (also, how many cores?).
As far as gaming goes, I think an i7 should be fine, right? An i9 would kinda be overkill (strictly for gaming, I mean) :laugh:
It's an 8700 so it only has six cores. I would have preferred it being an 8 cored 9700, but it'll still do the job. And I definitely would have preferred something stronger than the 2060, but it's a decent mid-range choice. (I don't need everything running at ultra anyways, this is my first real step into PC gaming after all). As for what I'm going to play... dunno! I need to build my PC games library after all but, from past experience, I tend towards co-op most of all. I'm not really into heavy PVP.
Oh, and my discord username is Kadeworks
If you're not doing anything too big or intensive, you're probably fine with what you've named. I'm using I7 as well (might even be the same one), and I can play Destiny 2, Dark Souls 3, and For Honor without any issues.
An i7 should be just fine. I have a fairly old i7 (6 cores, 3.5ghz) and I have yet to come across a game it can't handle. In almost all cases, the bottleneck will be your GPU (for most things) or your RAM (for Minecraft and a handful of other poorly-optimized games). That said, upgrading your GPU is very easy, whereas upgrading your CPU is a whole ordeal. If you're building a PC, I'd recommend buying a more-than-sufficient GPU that will last a good few years, and then putting a little less money into your graphics card under the assumption you'll have to replace it in a few years.
After being pretty inactive, Battlefront 2 released some major updates along with plenty in the queue for later December and January
Hey, do any of you guys play Galaxy of Heroes?
Scratch that: Do any of you guys play Lord of the Rings Online?
Not I. Sorry.

I seen/heard a little bit about it, doesn't really sound like my kind of game
so can I get a invite to the discord or does one need to be made?
I'll pm one to you.
Not sure if anyone cares, but the actor who played the voice of the Soldier in Team Fortress 2, Rick May, died a few days ago from the Covid-19 virus.
Well, I'm sad he died, but had no idea he existed until just now.
I didn't know his name, but TF2 is such an iconic game I figured most people might at least know what I was talking about.
Yeah. That really sucks. I hope folks like Troy Baker or Matt Mercer (or any other voice actors on Critical Roll) don't get it.

He is also Peppy Hare from Starfox I think.
SERIOUSLY?
Dang man....
Mhm.

My good sir. How the heck am I supposed to get more "skilled" if I let a pro player play for ME. Not to mention the fact that you don't get much out of achievements in OW2...
Maybe they meant that the boosting unlocks or ranks up in game skills? Do you level up your skills/abilities/ults in OW2? I haven't actually played it lol
Or he's a bot advertising. ::)
Hey, not everybody can be real. Don't hold it against him.
I will and I will do so with extreme prejudice

No. The only time it helps is early game when you have to unlock characters, but that dosent matter cause you just have to finish a match (win or lose)to earn them. It's def a bot but I don't know who would even by that product....
Rank boosting mayhaps then.
I mean if u get platinum or whatever the highest rank all you get is clout...Cause you can't play because you'd be stomped by people who actually earned their way to the top sooo...
People still do it. For some reason. *shrugs*
Yeah, probs just to flex.
I mostly play mobile. I also have a Wii that I still occasionally use.
Just finished Hogwarts Legacy. Great game.
Very nice, I've heard good things about it. Dunno when/if I'll ever actually play it though ;D
I like gaming: LOL and Clash of Clans
