The new build of Grim Dawn includes new extra tabs of shared stash. Unfortunately, it costs "iron" to get all 3 extra, and I don't have enough (on one chr.) to get them right away. Not sure when I'll play enough to get 200k+ more iron (haven't played in a while). From the looks of things, I could use about 4 more tabs, tho. All the bloody rune pieces. Oh well, it's a start. 4 should allow me to get rid of a few mule chrs...

I've missed these fora...and Bokishi's tech-porn.

I've never "trusted" review scores. Reviews are just another source for figuring out if it's a game you'd like to take a shot on. Liking is another matter.

From what I gather looking thru the forums, general consensus seems to be it's ok, but isn't the pinnacle of achievement many were hoping for, and that combat is rough. My initial issue is that I haven't played a game like this in so long I'm having mental-overload. I'm half-afraid to click on anyone for fear I'll have to make ... a decision. I'm sad, I know.

Turned on PoE. Sat in the start menu listening to the soothing music. Created a self-righteous Monk named FistBoo with no clue what stuff to pick. Entered game, looked at my inventory and thought "where's my starter weapon??" Then remembered I was a Monk. Oh yeah. Looked around the town, went into an inn, picked up a quest or two, read profiles of some backer npc's. Admired the graphics, idly wishing I could zoom in just a little more. Giggled at my party when they got stuck on stuff/each other and ran in place when trying get to their spots, to the tune of their loud footsteps taptaptapping. Left the inn to look for some suspicious chrs. Then my tummy decided it needed a BLT for lunch. Adventure will have to wait a moment. Game looks pretty, at least.

I've wondered that myself. When I began drinking it, years and years ago, I felt like hardly anyone I knew had tried it. I figured recently it was all the gaming promotion tie-ins. Seems like every box I buy has some game graphic on it now. The Diet Dew is even at our Cosco now.

The nvidia shield stuff looks interesting, but not quite there for me yet. Also, probably not what I'd use/want for basic portable use (eg, not gaming).

Tooooo many passwords in my life!! ...this morning, downloading Pillars of Eternity beta thingie. I sometimes whinge a little about the worries of an age of digital media dependance, but of course when it benefits me, I like it then.

I know this thread is a little old but it's interesting and I wasn't here so ... Face to face I tend to use a lot more casual expletives and I'm usually ... semi-laconic?...not long-winded. I have occasional bursts of semi-hyper chattiness, but it's not common. Probably give off an air of being constantly mentally distracted. I'm not shy but I'm not quick of witticism and often just have "nothing to that needs to be said." On the internet, I tend to be long-winded and a bit more chatty. For some reason typing means I completely lose the ability to be concise. And I'm much more formal/cuss almost never, in text. That would be the biggest difference. My cousin-in-law once wrote me an email and when I replied, said I sounded/acted very different in that format to what she was used to in-person.

Well, I love my Diet Mt. Dew, but this ... no, just no. I didn't even like their CodeRed or PitchBlack or CodeWeNeedSalesWhatever. Just because I like a specific product doesn't mean I want 1000 varieties of said product...because if you change the flavor/taste, it's no longer the same product. It's just the company name.

I haven't played much this year. Banished: Hookability: 90 Lastability: 75 Ent. value: 90 --great fun for those who like such games. Eventually it starts to feel a little same-y, map after map, town after town, but until then it's great fun. And for the price, even more so. Borderlands:Prequel Hookability: 70 Lastability: 40 Ent. value: 50 --On the plus side, it's more Borderlands to scratch an itch. Has some ok new ideas but didn't love them in-game myself. Area design lackluster. Not much interesting new loot or Legendaries. Wasn't very funny. Didn't make me want to replay, a first for a BL game. Full price value low, but would be ok at half price. Stronghold Crusader II (I have not played SH3 etc). Hookability: 60 Lastability: 40 Ent. value: 35 --3D graphics still doesn't improve this series. AI skirmish maps small and AI is worse than average. Total unit limits per player/map far too restrictive. Does have editor. Sandbox kinda fun but no sandbox invasions. Uninstalled. --I played Grim Dawn build 21+ a lot and liked it, but since it's not actually a completed game, probably doesn't belong here yet. --Re:Divinity Original Sin. Was originally keen on it during KS but by now...I keep getting emails saying to claim my rewards before it's too late, and I keep not caring. Nothing to do with the game, just not in the mood or something. ...if I played anything else I can't recall at the moment, which would mean it wasn't memorable anyway.

Not sure what you mean. I have fairly small hands and it's perfectly comfortable and I like the way the general position/gripping works. Hubby has very large hands and he hasn't mentioned any comfort issues. Buttons seems fine. We haven't used it to play a ton of games, however. Mostly Borderlands series. Hubby used it to play Rage, Overlord, and some others. The battery pack isn't an issue for me (small fingers) but like Humanoid I think hubby has occasionally found it a little annoying, but not overly so/very often. I have arthritic thumbs so eventually using the sticks starts to hurt, but if you don't have arthritis, not an issue.

I'm so retro - I still use one of these. It fits my small hand. Occasionally I wish for a couple of thumb-side buttons I could hotkey for gaming, but such are too large/uncomfy for my palm and makes my wrist hurt after a while. Any tiny gaming mice (4-4.5" long) without weird contour shaping, out there?

Hey, Cant. ...hubby stopped wearing his ring because it kept falling off in the swimming pool in our old house. Since he wasn't wearing his, I figured I didn't have to wear mine. Ours were very cheap silver rings bought so we'd have something at the cheap ceremony. We were never into jewelry...but hubby is still very fond of his cheap ring, symbolically, even if he doesn't wear it, periodically asking me if I still have them stored somewhere (yes, of course). One day I mean to get us some decent titanium rings, but I'm not sure he'd wear it because it wouldn't be "the one". I'll have to come up with a special event to make him fond of a new one.

I personally wouldn't mind metal-studded whips (or similar) being a weapon for stealth type of characters, if mechanics could be worked out for them...mostly because it'd be different from the usual melee weapons. I don't see it happening in this game, however.

If you mean the current season, yeah, the pacing is much better than it has been. My main personal nitpick is I've never warmed up to either Abraham or Eugene, no matter how sympathetic the last couple episodes tried to make them...I wish they'd just be zombie-chow already. I wish they'd stop splitting up the group for multiple separate episodes, too. It's fine once in a while, but it seems to be becoming the regular format.

I remember those books. I read some of them as a kid too. RIP

This is what happens to me when I think "Maybe it's time to get a phone/tablet/whatever. It'd be nice to websurf on the couch." Then I start looking at phones and chrome books and keep going "but that won't do this thing I want, or that" and next thing you know I'm looking at $2000, 17", heavy laptops, which defeats the whole purpose. And I go back to my non-portable desktop.

I loved the original Robocop, mostly because of Peter Weller. It was only recently that I discovered that my husband really dislikes that one. I did not like the remake/reboot at all. "Edge of Tomorrow. I did like the first half. Then for me it proceeded to drag, lose all charm, and the very ending was just "wtf?" I've seen enough "groundhog day" like plots (seems like every major TV show has to do at least one) to conclude that such works a lot better as a series episode than a movie.

Wireless Xbox. Hubby/we use it, never had issues. I could be wrong, but seems like it's the most supported re: pc games. eg, occasionally a game officially only supports the Xbox one, where maybe you can get others to work but it takes some tweaking. I prefer not having to tweak, because I'm lazy. The one thing is hubby wishes the pad that controls, say, switching weapons in BL (the big plus-sign like button on the left) had individual buttons to press vs. the connected/sorta sliding action surface, because it tends to wear out if you use it a lot. Did that make sense? Don't know how the PS3 controller works, don't have one.

It certainly looks cool. What's the pedigree of the team behind this? Sounds like it could be a f2p mmo type. The company is a South Korean studio named SmileGate, who made a popular "tactical online fps" game called Crossfire. The below article is making the f2p guesses based on the previous game. ...so dunno. But the video certainly makes it seem potentially interesting for the arpg crowd. http://www.overclockersclub.com/news/37646/

It's still better than Glen or Glenda, and I sat through that one too. From other work of his, so far my conclusion is that he's awesome as Castiel but a bit limited outside of that. He should do some comedy.

My copy of SyFy movie "Stonehenge Apocolypse" arrived this morning! Thanks, Amazon Sunday delivery! The dialogue is terrible, the acting/direction is total cheese, the editing is horrid and the effects are ultra-cheap. But ... Misha Collins.
