What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Be me. Be 16. Watching Shrek 1 for the first time in a long time. Little brother starts watching it too. Little brother says "its awesome". Even though its halfway through parents come in the room. They turn off the tv while we were watching Shrek. I get mad. I yell at my parents. Little brother joins in too. Parents say "we're both grounded". They send us to our room. Before we're halfway up the stairs there was a big boom. Shrek, fully aroused and naked, come barging to the door. The whole room fills with the aroma of onions. Shrek sees my parents still yelling at us. Shrek turns on the t.v, seeing Shrek was on. OGRE MY DEAD BODY. Shrek rips my dad's head off. Starts fucking my dad's head viciously. mom gives out a blood curdling scream.Mom runs to the phone. Shrek does a major jump, with a back flip, and lands in front of my mom before she picks up the phone. Shrek, then, shoves a onion down her throat, then shoving his dick in there so the onion could go down easily. Mom dies, after choking on an onion and Shrek's sperm. Shrek looks at us. "Taek ur shirts off". Me and my brother takes off our shirts. We're just standing there, stunned. Shrek yells "GET UR ARSES DOWN 'ERE". We do. Shrek tells us to bend over. We bend over. Shrek puts his big, meaty, cock in our assholes. Sure the pain was excrutiating, but it was pleasurable. Shrek gives out a mighty roar, giving out an orgasm. Sure, it was painful, but the orgasm was something to remember. He goes to my brother, who does the same thing as I did. Shrek orders us to suck on his dick. We do. Shrek orders us to fuck each other. We had to, since we both shared a love for Shrek, even though my brother started loving shrek just today. Shrek tells me to get my brother pregnant so he rips off my brothers cock, but my brother enjoyed the pain. It was like incest, except my brother was enjoying my cock inside his brand new vagina. Shrek ejaculates on our backs, its green slime was warm so warm that I ejaculated as the slime tingled my backs. Me and my brother get tired. The room was covered with the aroma of sex, combined with onions. We all are lying in a pool of blood, dicks, jizz, slime, and onions. Shrek gets up and leaves. Before he leaves he whispers "it aint ogre, till its ogre". Me and my brother will never feel the same feeling like that ever again. Shrek is Love. Shrek Is Life.

"Am I a retard for being from Norway and not knowing your ways of speech? Am I a retard when I am pretty decent at your language, while you probably don't even know what the word "gutt" means? It means boy. How about this sentense: "Du er en stygg jævel". Can you understand? No. Probably not. Because you can't speak norwegian, i assume. I am the retard?

==Issues fixed==
 +
===DirectX Issue===
 +
{{ii}} Problems with the game crashing, with an error in d3dx9_35.dll or d3dx9_41.dll may be caused by missing DirectX 9 components. Installing DirectX 9.0c from Microsoft may correct this problem. Install the [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 DirectX End-User Runtimes].
 +
 
 +
===Required Software===
 +
Along with DirectX 9.0c, Europa Universalis requires additional Microsoft software to run on Windows. These may already be installed on your computer, however if you are having problems, reinstalling them may help.
 +
 
 +
*Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package
 +
*Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package
 +
*The latest version of .NET Framework
 +
 
 +
===Tutorial Crashing===
 +
The Europa Universalis Complete edition contains a tutorial mode that does not function, and Paradox has advised players not to use it. Beginning with the second tutorial, the game may crash when the tutorial is activated. Renaming or deleting the game's music folder may prevent the crash, at the expense of the music.
 +
 
 +
===Crash when viewing ledger===
 +
This occurs when playing DLC ''Heir to the Throne''. It is fixed in ''Divine Wind'', or in one of the released [http://www.eu3wiki.com/HTTT#Public_beta_releases beta patches].
 +
 
 +
Downloading the beta patch requires you to register your game with Paradox Plaza.
 +
 
 +
===Music Issues===
 +
If the music doesn't play, installing k-lite codec pack may correct this.

Issues fixed

DirectX Issue

Problems with the game crashing, with an error in d3dx9_35.dll or d3dx9_41.dll may be caused by missing DirectX 9 components. Installing DirectX 9.0c from Microsoft may correct this problem. Install the DirectX End-User Runtimes.

Required Software

Along with DirectX 9.0c, Europa Universalis requires additional Microsoft software to run on Windows. These may already be installed on your computer, however if you are having problems, reinstalling them may help.

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package
  • The latest version of .NET Framework

Tutorial Crashing

The Europa Universalis Complete edition contains a tutorial mode that does not function, and Paradox has advised players not to use it. Beginning with the second tutorial, the game may crash when the tutorial is activated. Renaming or deleting the game's music folder may prevent the crash, at the expense of the music.

Crash when viewing ledger

This occurs when playing DLC Heir to the Throne. It is fixed in Divine Wind, or in one of the released beta patches.

Downloading the beta patch requires you to register your game with Paradox Plaza.

Music Issues

If the music doesn't play, installing k-lite codec pack may correct this.
