    Go from Florence and hit up my hometown of Coos Bay. Enjoy some small town coastal bliss.

    Go to Nha Trang or Da Lat.... Da Nang is full of Russians. Take the train from Hanoi to Lao Chai and then go to Sapa. Win.

    I'll be here next year most likely. But for BASE jumping.

    The Strain

    The Vampires are cool, so I can get over how much I hate most of the characters. How did the pest control office get infected anyway?

    And shit is finally getting interesting! Now that its soon to be an all out epidemic.

    Hearthstone

    Yeah... I NEVER played Hunter at all before like yesterday. Beyond getting the basic cards... and I went from Rank 9 to rank 4 with almost zero effort. The deck is just so efficient... I argue that the free secrets benefit you the most only because it forces the opponent to make misplays to find...

    Hearthstone

    I think Deathlord is just too useful of a card. Especially as Paladin. If you have 2x Equality/2x Humility/2x Wild Pyro/2x Aldor Peacekeeper... nothing is truly scary, I've only had it backfire on me once when it drew Ragnaros at like turn 5. But when it draws Alexstraeza and they cant use the...

    The Strain

    This was actually a much better episode. Although The Master feeding in the concentration camp was a little weird. I am not sure I could just ignore that kind of thing and pretend it was all some terrible dream and I was just seeing things. Nazis be damned.

    The Strain

    Okay holy fuck. This show is so impressively bad I can only believe, based on Guillermo's tack record, that it has to be entirely intentional. The visuals will remain awesome I'm sure but GOD DAMN. "I'd rather die to this epidemic that kill people." This is my number one favorite quote in...

    The Strain

    The special effects are good. That will keep me watching it. The wife of that guy watching him drink steak blood out of the fridge with the vampire sucker and just casually walk off was hilarious though. Jesus, what would it take for that lady to call 911 or something?

    The Legend of Korra

    This series is awesome. My only gripe is General Iroh's voice. He sounds like a 10 year old. It annoys me to no end.

    The Strain

    The books, as boring as they were, made a great deal of effort to focus on the biological vectors of their style of vampirism. So if he had bit the CDC guys on the plane, if they didn't scream they would just collapse and the CDC would probably quarantined in reaction. Just leave it to be one of...

    Hearthstone

    That would be nice, I don't like to complain. But I would love cards that allow you to actually DO SOMETHING when playing against a Miracle Rogue deck. I feel like there is very little you can do to play around the Miracle Rogue. If his hand is decent and you have no way to get rid of the...

    Hearthstone

    Of all the decks to play against. Fucking miracle rogue is still the most gay. Seriously, fuck that stupid shit. There's something inherently unfun about playing against a deck that specifically keeps as few minions as possible on their side of the board, all the while still removing yours and...

    Giving me a math hardon here Voldeth, bravo Ser. Also chaos, as someone who also has limited playtime I am more than willing to run some with you. I'm playing stalker tank. Also got removed from guild again for not being able to log in enough I presume! But I won't press it.

    Tyrant

    I like this show a lot and I've spent quite a few years in the Middle East. It does try to capture the tribal politics of the ME to some degree, but it does leave a lot out. Which is good because the nature of it is baffling... even to someone who has spent years in these countries and speaks...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well Khane, I certainly can understand that position. My previous relationship ended for similar reasons. I moved, she followed and I helped her land a really excellent job in the finance sector. This was her first job with A.) strong salary and B.) excellent prospects/mobility. After that...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah I never got into the Sports & Social clubs. Mainly because I hate teamsports. Triathlons/Cycling/Running/Swimming have always been my exercise jams. And I totally would have banged that crazy hot Vet. I also have four sisters and I don't think I would have hesitated for a fraction of a...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    No, I banged myself out of the Austin Beer Runner Club actually! I supplanted it with a Trail Running Club instead. Still fun, I liked the beer dynamic more for a weeknight excerise/fun event. The Trail Running people are a bit more hardcore than I like to be on a weekday afternoon. My best...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I feel you on this. I made the mistake of banging this girl I met at a running club I had been going to for over a year. At the time, I wasn't really looking for a relationship and I told her that. Hilarity did not ensue and I do not go to that running club anymore... which is a shame because I...

    What did your parents do?

    My parents were pretty much black sheep of their families... both grandfathers were lawyers. My father went to college... but only to play football and did nothing but drink/play his way through 4 years of Oregon State. Honestly, I don't know what his degree was in. Agricultural science or...

    What do you do?

    Again, I'm a software developer. I am so far removed from the actual vehicle engineering and the business itself that I only knew of the recalls and ignition thing because of the news. I am saying that "panicking" is bad. Invest in the long term and it will turn out well. It isn't like GM is...

    Weight Loss Thread

    I've weighed 210-215 (6'3) for like the past ten years. I weighed quite a bit more when I was a young teenager. I did go up to 225 once a few years ago, mainly due to depression beer drinking and not being as active as usual. I always felt the absolute key to weight loss is being hardcore about...

    What do you do?

    I have a feeling that GM will be returning strong in the next 5 or so years. The vehicles made after the reorganization of the company are of much higher quality than they were before. It didn't make the news so much but the 2013 models took 9 of the international quality awards from Toyota...

    The Beer Thread

    There's a brewery here in Austin called Jester King that is actively "bringing back" the farmhouse style sour. I've tried most of their line, but the taste isn't that appealing to me. But I love IPA so its weird. Yeah, rating is low, that was just the first site I googled when looking up the...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    I'm going through the game exclusively with a friend of mine. This is some fun shit. I'm playing cleric, since I can really make him more of a battle cleric and he's the Shadowblade or whatever. It's close to playing real DND without a DM. Constantly undermining eachother by talking to NPC's...

    I've noticed this too. There is a HUGE diminishing return on doing quests even two level lower than you currently are. I spent three weeks out of the country since launch. Upon leveling my stalker, even with as much rested xp as I had, the exp gain from doing quests at your level or higher is...

    I certainly see a ton of value in this game. Well worth my measly $15 a month. I'm about three weeks behind the gang due to travel. But I am excited to start tanking more and even leveling up my Spellslinger. The housing is fun. Combat is fun. Updates are quick and transparent. Really couldn't...
