My friend mentioned Path of Exile and I was all "meh, I don't even like Diablo", but then I saw the customization system.
IT'S THE FINAL FANTASY 10 SPHERE GRID
THERE ISN'T EVEN A GOLD SYSTEM, YOU HAVE TO BARTER STUFF
THIS IS AWESOME

I like Diablo!
And the sphere grid!
And bartering!

Aww shit, let's see what kind of shenanigans we can get up to with this.

for serious though: would anyone be interested in watching me learn rpg maker?

Yeah the stealth in this game just feels natural, no special powers or tools

Oh God yes. Even though I tend to adore games like Dishonored and Deus Ex:HR, I just can't get down with the 'see through walls' type of skills. It's just one of my least favourite game dynamics ever, i'll spare the fantardnerdrage.

I'm thinking of buying a 1440p monitor, i've been using my 23" for about a year and a half. I was using a dualscreen setup for a while, but i'd rather just have one bigger screen. My parents are still using a 19" so I might just give them this one.

Also, Bioshock DLC should be coming out soon. I'm pretty pumped, I pretty much did a 180 on liking Bioshock Infinite.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Bioshock Burial At Sea is amazing. Short, but amazing.

I also saw the plot hook coming, but I <3 Elizabeth

I forgot 'cause we only played it for one day! And now my game keeps getting stuck on the loading screen, so
I'll mess with it tomorrow, prolly make a necromancer.

X Rebirth looks really good, right up my alley. It's been getting a lot of bad reviews though.

Hate buzzkills.

EDIT:
Installing a ME1 graphics mod.
As much as I love the game, the vanilla graphics were never great.

EDIT2:
Simply put, it looks great. ME2 style graphics, which still are mighty fine looking

That's what I am. Going D2 necro+poison steeze.
NSFW minor plot spoiler: it's basically D2.

NSFW: show

So far I've been to a prison, cured a darkness, and am about to go into the sewers in an Arab style town by the water.

Loading screen takes like 5 minutes for me.

One thing that I have been doing is playing a LOT of video games.

FFIVX : Reborn - I consider myself an MMO veteran and for some stupid reason I really like what SQ did for the reboot of this game. I leveled a DRG to 50 and even got lucky enough to be in a group and finish the relic for the class. There is not a lot to do in order to farm tombstones so I grinded quite a few pieces of darklight before I burt out. Patch 2.1 will fix a lot so I am waiting until then.


Hearthstone : Just got into closed beta. Every bit of fun as it looks. I lose a lot but I really could care less.

DS - Because I have been in a fuck it mood and have no interest in either an XBOX One or PS4 I snuck a DS 3D on the Wife's best buy card. Got Fire emblem tactics and lost interest. Got Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and its awesome. Nothing better than a good nintendo game.

and if anyone is looking for a WiiU on the cheep. I has one possibily for sale. :sanx:

Knights were expected, above all, to fight bravely and to display military professionalism and courtesy. When knights were taken as prisoners of war, they were customarily held for ransom in somewhat comfortable surroundings. This same standard of conduct did not apply to non-knights (archers, peasants, foot-soldiers, etc.) who were often slaughtered after capture, and who were viewed during battle as mere impediments to knights' getting to other knights to fight them.

Today I learned that knights were kind of douches and snipers/rogues in online games today share the same basic mentality.
