    As far as "cheap" currency you can vendor for wis scrolls, I would say: Portal Scrolls: Vendor excess Transmute Orbs (To ID a rare): Vendor excess Transmute Orbs (To ID a magic): Maybe vendor excess Armor Scraps/Whetstones: NEVER vendor By vendoring magic items you ID'ed using wis...

    Don't get me wrong, I was miffed when I found out he was "finished" doing updates. I'm talking about the folks who got literally enraged and spewed hate all over the Terraria forums like he killed their dog or something.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Dude sounds like a pre-teen crying about how "horrible" their life is. My only major gripe was the deus ex machina blood thing. Overall it had reasonable depth, fun action scenes, a decent story, and I think it's worth seeing. There was one other thing though, and I'm not sure if it was...

    Haven't been on in a few days and holy shit, 30% quantity bonus to unidentified maps. Assuming you have a versatile build, that will make it much easier to get up to lvl70 maps (or whatever level where you start hitting them with alch orbs). I'm surprised they made such a huge buff to the...

    Metro: Last Light

    The publisher responded to the $5 ranger mode thing. It was part of a deal that THQ made before they went bankrupt (surprise) and the rights were bought by Deep Silver. So yeah, THQ got theirs. http://n4g.com/news/1254052/deep-sil...-pre-order-dlc

    Metro: Last Light

    Bad logic. Apples and Oranges both costing $$ does not make them equivalent. How much an apple vs an orange is worth is relative to how much you value the unique traits of the apple vs the orange. I get bored out of my mind playing single or multi-player deathmatch/CTF/etc. and so my...

    You missing some high quality nerd rage when the dev guy had a kid and said he wasn't doing any more updates (was around january last year). I wouldn't expect this update too soon, the last thing he said was june/july. There was a post about reaching 100 items. Apparently the console...

    I highly recommend Lunaris Temple. The waypoint area (level 2) is ilvl67 but the bottom floor with piety is 68. There are two important pieces for farming lunaris temple though: (1) Ruby Flask - there is a lot of fire damage (especially from those bastards that use righteous fire) (2) any...

    patch 0.10.8 is out, yay You've pretty much got it Dabamf. Hardcore items/currency are typically worth more too. I don't personally play on HC (just because), but I do the HC races whenever I can.

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the whole beginning of the extremis arc Tony getting his ass royally kicked because the extremis soldiers (who do indeed breath fire) are just that powerful?

    Well said. I enjoyed the hell out of it. It's possible that "a cigar is just a cigar", but I was not expecting what seemed like purposeful philosophical depth.

    These are pretty much my feelings entirely. I can understand why some hate it but I was intrigued and would watch another season. Granted I'd prefer another season for firefly but we get what we get.

    I played through Darkout for a while. It's somewhat fun and scratches the itch but still rather flawed. Combat has a long ways to go.

    My vote to what this felt like is Twin Peaks + American Horror Story I just finished watching the series. There were a lot of sour notes as far as some of the acting and dialogue went and there were a fuckload of loose ends. At times it was a convoluted mess and, similar to Vorph's...

    HC characters are already put into the default league when they die. Something to indicate what level they made it to on HC would be very cool though.

    The season 2 rewards are a lot more attractive to me than season 1. Last season I managed to get top 10 for class twice I think and still only made it to the 5 or 6 point range for levels. Unless it's more reasonable to actually reach the 6-10 point range from leveling I still can't imagine...

    Since I've upped the difficulty of my maps and followed either - get over 40% or get at least 1 of the good mods (magic/rare/pack/area) my rate for map acquisition has gotten really good.

    The 0.10.5c patchnotes made me chuckle: "Fixed a bug where a totem (summoned by a trap) that created minions would create them dead." I kinda wish I saw that in action. Congratulations! I've found 2 of them over about 10 days played across all my characters.

    A lot of their percents are a little mis-leading. Quadrupeds and Bipeds for instance are 70% but their description is "The game can produce a huge range of quadruped npcs, with unique behaviours, stats, size and art." I don't want to speculate what the other 30% would be, but (from my non-CS...

    The wiki sources the mechanics thread on the boards:http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/vie...d/11707/page/1which was last edited on Feb 13, so I would think that would be more correct than the post on 12/17/2012. Of course, there's no way of really knowing.
