    I wish I could get the hang of snowboarding. I've tried a handful of times, but always wind up banging up my knees and wrists. I can't go toe-side. Anytime I do, I dig the front edge in too much and just smack right down into the snow. Next time I go skiing I'll probably try again, and...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I couldn't find the Inquisitor trainer. My buddies and I had some trouble finding one another, but once we did we grouped up and killed some stuff around the necroplis, and then outside one of the gates. Got to level 2, maybe a third of the way to level 3. First hour or more was spent just...

    I’m not expecting much, but if I can group with a buddy and kill some skeletons or something that would be cool. There’s got to be something, right? They’ve got all those stats on the update from friends and family testing showing character levels and deaths and all that info.. edit: didn’t...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I've "reread" Jordan once. Series is much better if you just read dialogue and the action scenes and skip everything else. First sentence of each paragraph is enough to know whether to skip it or not.

    A new duck dog joined the family this weekend. She’s a monster! Old guy doesn’t much care for her, but he’s probably only got another hunt or three in him, so it’s time to get another one trained up. He’ll get used to her soon enough.

    Didn’t WOW do something similar early on, where you got more from selling items to a merchant you had better faction with? I seem to recall goblins had a racial when they came out where they got max sell price no matter who they sold to. Goblin Haggling or something like that. Looking forward...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I thought Forge of Darkness was pretty good. Lots of really good stuff with the Tiste, and the other race of people I won't go into detail about, amnong other things. I doubt most folks have read the book and I don't want to spoil anything, but it fleshes out a lot about the elder races and...

    You could try camping the Esper store inside the mall for player kills. I know when we did the mission to drop off gun oil, electric drill, and C4 in the store, we were always under heavy fire running into the store, so it might be easy pickings if someone comes to do that mission. Obviously not...

    I never really played past a month or so into each expansion the last couple times around. This time I've been playing quite a bit and have focused pretty hard on M+ across a few characters. Haven't done much M+ in the past, and I'm really enjoying it right now. Got KSH on my mage and am right...

    M0s give 372 loot, and you have a chance at loot from every boss, once per week. I’d run those to see the boss mechanics and gear up as much as you can, then dive into M+.

    15% haste for 10 seconds every 3 minutes doesn’t seem like that much of an advantage, but I suppose any small thing like that does make it technically the “best.” I would play whatever race you like the look of the best, honestly. I never could stand the way the trolls look in WoW. I do play...

    Yep. I played with a couple friends, we put in 100ish hours. I enjoyed the game, there were lots of monsters I hadn’t fought before because World was my first MH title, but I liked World so much better. Have they released any info about a new World game?

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Eh, I disagree on them being barely readable garbage. Are they of the same quality as Erikson's work? Definitely not. But they're not the worst books I've ever read, and they help flesh out some of the "cultures" or "groups" in the Malazan universe. You learn quite a bit about the Crimson Guard...

    Was the vaccine stuff in the beginning cringe? I thought it was actually pretty funny because these people are letting someone spray some unknown substance in their mouths so that they can go to the island. Between that and the mesh mask, my take-away from that scene was that they were poking...

    Anyone check out building 21 yet? My brother got a key last night, and I saw that it was available as an option to deploy there instead of Al Mazarah, but we were kinda drunk and didn’t want to waste the key. Would be cool to know what to expect going in.

    Looks like the raid assignment is easy to get. The challenges don’t appear to work, but finish top 20 in BR was easy with the addition of Mini BR Trio mode. There were only 20 teams to start with, so that mode is a free raid assignment. Haven’t tried raid yet, waiting for my brother to get off...

    Man.. I was frustrated about the crashes when playing domination with my buddies. Since I've started playing DMZ these crashes are fucking infuriating. You lose everything as if you'd died in the match. They should at least patch it so if you crash while in DMZ it's like you exfilled. God damnit.

    Sometimes my battle pass tokens show that I should have earned one; and I can’t spend it. But reloading fixes it. I haven’t banked any though, spend them as I get them. Think I’m 46% of the way done with battle pass. I like the operator skins, and the blueprints are cool.
