Darksiders Franchise Pack[Darksiders 1+2, All DLC] for $13.19 at Amazon. $5 Editor's Choice promotion code applies if you have it, bringing it down to $8.12. Really cheap. Each game and DLC is an individual Steam code as well, so you can pick and choose what you activate or give away...

Power bill increase for pool every month during the summer: around $100. F'ing pool. How I long to backfill it.

Good advice from Tenks. When I am specifically after keys, I start in Depths 1, then either hit Core for a couple more stacks or if I am at 4, go directly to Stonefort and pick up the last stack in transit. For XP, the post-Siegebreaker section of Act 3 has some of the highest XP density in...

Oh yeah, it's Bigfoot season isn't it? Thanks for the reminder. I had some Rye-on-Rye off the tap and it was nice. If you like a nice beer aged in a liquor barrel, it was a good example of the style.

Fair enough. Prices in general are much, much lower than 1.0.4 and before, so buying an affordable upgrade is much easier now. I guess you'd have to check the AH and judge for yourself. I find that prices are usually low enough on common items I don't feel the need to refresh for mis-priced...

Are you upset that items are cheaper now? Or just reminded that you don't like the AH in general? I don't understand why Tenks getting a cheap Skorn would be a huge turn-off to playing the game.

At what MP? Just up the MP if it feels easy, you'll find a balance. EDIT: Enob beat me to it.

What's the hardest part of learning to roller skate?

MP5 to MP7, depending on how adventurous we were feeling... or more often, how bad we were getting screwed on organ drops on MP5. My usual partners have gone idle lately to play other games and I just finished a big push to level all my alts, so I am a little out of the ubers loop TBH.

It rolls pretty much everything you want in a weapon by default: big prime stat, socket, crit dmg, high dmg. When you played, things were grim for barbs. Monster damage output has gone down a lot, so 2H is very survivable now.

Such a pessimist, Ish-bro. HF rings aren't good by default, you have to get a good roll and that could take any number of attempts. Farming the components is a pain... if that is all you are concentrated on. I usually just do MF runs in a given act and hit the key mob at the end so it feels...

Totally read that in this guy's voice. Brutal.

I've had the top tier (exalted grand) recipes drop in Act 1 at MP1, so I think yes.

What MP level are you currently using in Hell? In my experience, Hell MP10 is similar in difficulty to Inferno MP1. Your DPS is probably underpowered in Inferno and with no info on your protection/sustain stats, it's hard to say how you will hold up. However, you can boost stats with a fairly...

No problem, hope it helped. It's amazing how much more affordable the IK set has become. Prior to increased drops, no chest piece went below 50mil and no boots went below 20-25mil (unless you caught an epic deal). Now boots are down to 1mil and chests are around 12mil at the low end of...

Phoenix asserted that because he was crazy, justice would not be served. Loughner was declared fit for trial and got the most severe penalty available short of death. So he did not escape with a crazy plea. While I think he should be killed slowly and painfully for his crime, such a...

Read up, bro. Wikipedia: "He was sentenced to serve seven consecutive life terms plus 140 years in prison without parole." He was also fined millions and millions of dollars so if someone ever wrote a book about him, he would go $0 from it. Unless your only definition of justice is...

Don't confuse mentally ill with legally insane. Most if not all mass shooters were mentally ill, but most also weren't legally insane. The cliff notes version of the difference is that a legally insane person has no understanding of what they did or why it was wrong. For instance, if a...

Fair enough. Re-loads provide an opportunity for something to go wrong, but high capacity magazines are more likely to jam. So that sounds like an even trade-off. I personally wouldn't care if high capacity mags got banned, but I also don't see a need to push for that ban. It clearly won't...

Wouldn't they be 100x better served making Big Picture as good as possible and encouraging people to build media PCs? Valve is possibly the best-in-class at software, but they are not a hardware company.

Disclaimer up front: I've gone shooting at ranges a number of times and my parents and brother own guns, but I have chosen not to purchase one... yet. So I am not in the gun crowd. So a question for the gun knowledgable: what are the legitimate uses of high capacity magazines? Do you...

No, but you have to play Inferno and have 5 stacks of NV. The chance to drop is 5% for MP0, and MP*10 for higher settings (ex. MP6, 6 * 10 = 60%).

Fucking bluebies, namean? Here's a snap shot right now, the lowest buyout on the 4 main Zuni's pieces: Head - 35k Chest - 1.5m Ring - 600k Boots - 990k Looks like prices have actually bounced up a little since last week. Still, they're pretty low and could probably be lower if you did...

We keep it classy.

That's mainly true for AAA titles. Steam has a ton of offerings from small devs where the vast majority of your money (minus the Steam cut) goes to the people who actually made the game.

I don't know what it takes to do MP10, but.. you may want to look at an IK chest with a decent Vit roll. It would be pricey, but it would also get you additional dmg reduction from the set bonus. I would guess you could also invest in an amulet that has some Vit , as well as CC/CD. CD usually...

Deathwing and Tecknoe have WDs they played alot, so their advice is probably better than mine. If you are able to scrounge up a bit more gold, the end set bonus on Zuni's drastically ups mana regen. You can get low end rolls pretty cheap, so you probably wouldn't need a ton more $$ to get a...

Everything got easier with the most recent patches, so if you could get by before, you should be (relatively) more powerful now. Archon seems to be a popular wiz build right now, but Wiz is not my main. Strifen has by far the most progressed Wiz on the forum, maybe he can comment.

Wow, probably the best ring roll I've seen. Nice.

Should be handy for when your sensors get knocked out.

1) I have (accidentally) jumped to rebel controlled nodes a few times. Every time, I fought an "elite" rebel fighter and the victory reward was 1 fuel ("no time to salvage!!"). So it appears it is always a penalty fight. 2) I've never had slug crew, but according to their profile, their...

What to spend on first depends on the stores you encounter (or don't encounter). There's no perfect first upgrade since 1) stores are random and 2) strategies vary. Most (all?) builds use shields, so that one is a safe bet if you don't find a store with something you need. It takes 2 shield...

It's approved through Greenlight but not yet released on Steam.

If you like using Whirlwind, the Tornado build is popular.Deathwing'ssetup is pretty classic for this build. Some people use a 2H weapon for it, though Skorn is much more popular than an IK weapon. I don't play the build myself, but the non-obvious part is that the tornadoes produced by Sprint...

No point arguing in circles I guess. I have no idea what a princess maker is, and I'm not sure what text adventure you are referring to. Fuel can be purchased and/or won as a battle reward, so it isn't that limiting. The chasing rebel fleet mechanic is much more of a finite countdown.

How is it not? You choose your ship (character), the world is random, the events at each node are random, there are a wide variety of upgrades and strategies, you have to manage limited resources, death is permanent with no reloads. I'm not sure how it could be a more rogue-like game of space...

As far as I know, that is still the premier setup for follower CC. The problem is that it is well known now, so the price for the associated items skyrocketed. It also lacks MF, but once you progress in paragon that matters less.

I am indeed getting fucked, but not as bad as I thought. It is $33+tax at the local discount liquor store. I bought it anyway, and it didn't disappoint. Thanks for the tips, fellas.

Nice deal on them amulet. I use the enchantress (build and gear is in my profile). She is mainly set up for MF, with "stay alive" stats (vit, resist, regen, LoH, etc) prioritized over damage.

Since the Steam sale is still going, I'll plug Hotline Miami and FTL: Faster Than Light. Both are under $10 (on sale) and fun. I bought both of them and couldn't put them down until I finished. Hotline is a top-down, fast action game of violence. Think original GTA with strategy and a...
